KNOW YOUR MIND

KNOW YOUR MIND

               

Value is not intrinsic; it is not in things. It is within us; it is the way in which man reacts to the conditions of his environment.

                                                                                                                Ludwig von Mises
 In this chapter I will explain: How does our nervous system work? How are the nerves esponsible for our behaviour? How is our behaviour shaped as per the meaning that we give to an event? An event has no meaning except the meaning that we give to it.By changing the picture of the event, by changing the sound of the event, by changing the feeling of the event we can change the entire meaning of the event. Framing of an event means we provide a guide to the event, it provides a limit. Whatever we see, feel, and hear is anchored in our mind and body. Whenever we wish to see, listen, and feel to change our old patterns we can always get the new patterns. It would be very easy in case you are in a peak state. For example, if you met with an accident and you narrowly escaped, you will always remember that spot whenever you pass through that site. It will get anchored in your mind, body, and emotions very intensively.

 

Our entire communication system is based on our state of mind and reflection of brain cells. No event has any meaning except the meaningthat we give to it. In my firewalk seminar I always say that firewalk has no meaning except what we give to it actually. For some people it can be fun. Even in some parts of India walking on fire is done as a religious ritual. Once I was doing my firewalk seminar at hatshilla, near Jamshedpur, for the executives of Hindustan Copper Limited and on the same day it was done as a religious ritual too. Next day in all the leading newspapers both the news were covered. But the meanings to both were entirely different. Both the news came also on the television channels, but meanings given to them here also were altogether different. People, before attending the seminar, had a different thought process and vision towards their goals. After the seminar their approach towards their goals becomes totally different. This was absolutely corporate related and fire had actually become the anchor for shaping their future behaviour and a source of power to meet the high level of commitments. Neurology is like a juke box. Everything gets planted annd embedded in our brain cells. Even if we have anchored something wrong in our brain, then we can reprogramme it by creating an internal talk and creating a new presentation of the event in acompletely new frame. If the picture is changed, sound is changed, the feeling will automatically change
