#1 - Empty The Cup

Our brain is the most powerful part of us. Well I too agree with this. Because it's the most powerful, it is the hardest to control. Subconsciousness and Consciousness is not new to our senses. We have had the power of our subconsciousness prevail over us, make us do things that we never thought we could achieve.

All of us takes this in First-person mode, relating to someone other than us. But when thought of in the Third-person mode, you come into the picture.

You limit yourself to a limit, but your brain is limitless, it knows no bounds. Even when you say you can't do something, somewhere inside you the answer lives.

This inner thinking has shown me new paths and also given me quite a few headaches. Well I started thinking like this after reading a book called "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy.

Somehow I got drawn into this. Might be because I was a lazy person, hoping my subconscious will help me find a shortcut. I started dreaming (day dreaming especially, on this). I saw the future, wherein I have achieved and therein reaping the results. But that future never came. I laid faith in my dream and lived in it and not in the present. This might be creepy for you guys, to understand. A simple example might be of love/,crush or infatuation. The most wonderful happy ending is a happily married life, so we might go on meditating on this. Without even talking or proposing or dating, just dreaming. In the end your mind gets stressed, out of this dreaming. Trust me I have gone through this (I am pretty shy around girls).

What I am trying to say is that dreaming won't solve the problem, well it might in the landscape of the mind. Meaning can only come when it is realized in the material world. This became most clear to me as I stumbled upon the most wonderful translation of a sacred scripture of Hinduism - Bhagavad Gita. It's said in the Gita, to only think about the action and not the result. But this is hard for a person in this era to accomplish. We do the things we do thinking about the result. Delving into this topic is way beyond my power, every time I do - headaches find their way to me. I have got a lot to learn, only then can I answer the questions floating around in my mind and find my way through the path.

Why did I start this blog. Its to share with you what I have learned from life. Why I called it Brain Diaries is because, I am sharing with you not what I have stumbled upon, but what I have truly learned, after every bit of thought has went through the field of my mind. I am not even a nub in this, let alone even worthy of starting this blog. One thing I have learned from life, is to express yourself as much as possible, the more feelings you hold onto yourself the harder it is to have a clear mind - otherwise you should be powerful enough to handle your feelings, not by controlling it, but by not having that feeling. If you can't open yourself up, atleast to a pen and paper - start writing a journal. You need to empty your cup
