LAW OF ATTRACTION - 4 DIMENSIONS OF MIND EXPLANATION WITH PRACTICAL EXAMPLE PART II

 In this Blog, I am explaining about How the 4 Dimensions / Parts of the Mind Functioning with respect to Forming of PERCEPTION through Sensory Input.  Please note that MIND is a Meta Physics Subject and even Psychologist & Medical Practitioners making sincere attempt to know more about Mind.  Hence whatever I have learned and understood about Mind through my limited Knowledge and experiences I am sharing my views about Mind and its Functionality.  I give below the diagrams which represents the rough sketch of Mind Parts and its functionalities.

 

 

 Let us understand the Mind functions step by step,

 Before that we understand the Perception and its 4 stages. 

1)   Perception allows people to Notice & then Select the sensory information and stimuli that are intense / Strong often to attract our attention

2)   Make the information into something meaningful through Organization (comparing existing knowledge with the stimuli)  

3)   Interpretation (making meaning of the stimuli) . It is also necessary for people to identify potential dangers (Negative emotions) and stay safe.

4)   Memory (Storage of one's experience about the stimuli)

Let us get into the subject in depth.  Through Sensory Organs (Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue & Touch) Stimuli are sent to the Brain through Spinal Cord.  Brain sends the Input to the Mind.  If the Mind gets attached to that Data further it will process, otherwise it will discard the data.  This process is called SELECTION.  For example you are walking in a crowded place and seeing lot of people and none of them draws your attention, but if you NOTICE your friend at distance in the crowd then your mind start immediately Focusing (SELECT) on him.  In this way your Mind eliminate most of the trivial things.

Now the Mind has got a Sensory Input Data and it wanted more related data for that Sensory Input.  Hence it will advise Memory (MANAS) to furnish more related information about the Sensory Input and ORGANIZE them to be acted upon by Intellect (BUDDHI)

Ø If Memory found no related information in the storage Media (Brain or Sub Conscious) it will inform the Mind.  Then the Mind try to ASSOCIATE the Input with Familiar Known Object and store the Input with Associated Data in the storage Media.  For example If a person who lived in an Isolated Jungle not seen and having no idea about an Airplane till date.  Suddenly he saw a flying airplane.  In order to understand Airplane, he will ASSOCIATE Airplane to a Flying Bird known to him and store the data in the Memory with association.  Whenever he see a flying airplane again, he recognize the object through Association.

Ø If Memory found any information related to the sensory input in Brain or CHITTH (Sub Conscious) it will pass on the data to the Mind

The Mind has got a) brain forwarded Sensory Input data (STIMULI)  and b) Memory (MANAS) supplied data related to the Sensory Input.  Mind send these data to Intellect (BUDDHI) for INTERPRETATION.  Intellect will apply Reasoning, Logic, Environment Condition and Belief System etc as filtering mode to pass through. Please note that Intellect differ to each person because of their belief system, Environment and other factors.  For example a person born in Southern Part of India – Chennai belief system differs compared to a Person born in Western Part of India - Gujarat.  South Indians strongly believe that through proper education only, one can survive and thrive in any part of the world.  Whereas Gujarati people strongly believe that through proper understanding and practice of Business Practices and techniques only, one can lead a prosperous life.   This is the reason why EDTECH company like Byjus strategies their Business Operation more around Southern Part.

For easy understanding we can assume

MEMORY (MANAS) + INTELLECT (BUDDHI) = CONSCIOUS MIND

CHITTH = SUB CONSCIOUS MIND

AHANKAR = EGO / SELF / IDENTITY

 

Another Part or Dimension of Mind (AHANKAR) / IDENTITY or EGO is the portion of your personality (IDENTITY / MASK ) that is in contact with the external world.  EGO also review the Sensory Input data.  The Sensory Input Data should be Attractive Enough to Catch the attention of the Ego.  For example you might have seen lot of cars passing through you while walking on a road. You LIKE few cars and note that these LIKEs have a LOW EMOTION attached to that.  Hence these model cars might have got stored in your CONSCIOUS MEMORY for a temporary period and it will be fade away in due course of time.  But suddenly one BMW car in Black color is zipping through you and you watched the BMW car with amazement and you feel WOW about the car in that moment.  This time your EGO / AHANKAR ATTACHED ITS STRONG EMOTION to the SENSORY INPUT. When the Emotion is Strong Enough then it will fall from MEMORY  into Sub Conscious as IMPRINT.  

Please note that your WISH OR DESIRE AT CONSCIOUS MIND WILL REACH AT SUB CONSCIOUS  ONLY IF YOUR EGO / IDENTITY ENDORSED IT.  SO YOUR EGO IS LIKE AN "EMMIGRATION OFFICER" AT AIRPORT WHO CHECKS YOUR PASSPORT (DESIRES) AND STAMP / ENDORSED IT, AFTER THAT ONLY YOU (DESIRE) CAN LEAVE THE IMMIGRATION COUNTER (REACH SUB CONSCIOUS MIND).  So if you want Law of Attraction to work on your Desire, your EGO has to endorse it otherwise it will remain as mere wish at Conscious level and it will never acted upon.

MIND has got 1) INTELLECT / BUDDHI suggested Sensory Input data and 2) AHANKAR/EGO approved Emotion attached Sensory Input.  Out of these 2 Sensory Input data one has to be finalized and acted upon. The Mind always look for Emotions of Pleasure or Pain.  Mind Nature is to avoid PAIN (PHYSICAL & MENTAL) at any cost to put you in COMFORT ZONE or SURVIVAL MODE.   Those Input / Data which has PAIN EMOTION attached to that, will emerge as Winner in General.  Winner Sensory data get stored in Brain initially and then after some time through repetition of  the same Thought with Strong Emotion will create IMPRINT  in CHITTH (Sub Conscious).   This is a Simple and general way of explaining HOW THE MIND FUNCTIONS.  

Let us discuss few LAW OF ATTRACTION Facts Here.

Q1.  I have used the word “Winner data get stored in Brain initially and then after some time in CHITTH (Sub Conscious) ”.  Now you may ask question Why Data Is Getting Stored In Brain first and then in CHITTH (Sub Conscious) After Some Time ?.  If you observe we always use the term “CONSCIOUS MEMORY” & “SUB CONSCIOUS IMPRINT”.  Memory can be WEAK and it can be faded away in short period.  It is like, You are writing your name on beach sand and continuous wind will erase the name after some time.  Whereas the Sub Conscious Imprints are STRONG and it will last long.  It is like CARVING your name on boulder and it will take longer period to get eroded. Writing on sand is easy and take less effort whereas carving on boulder is tough job and it takes more dedicated and long period effort.  That is the reason initially the mind stores the finalized sensory input data (our example Black BMW Car) in the Brain as CONSCIOUS MEMORY which is WEAK.  As long as your thought on Black BMW car stays only in the Brain without strong associated emotion it will remain as your wish or dream (BUDDING STAGE) only for some time and then FADE away.

Q2. HOW TO MAKE WEAK CONSCIOUS MEMORY TO STRONG SUB CONSCIOUS IMPRINT SO AS TO REACH CHITTH / SUB CONSCIOUS.  In order to reach SUB CONSCIOUS IMPRINT (FLOWERING) you have to make the simple Conscious thought more vibrant (STRONG) with Emotion through your dedicated effort and this process will take some time. It is like how BUD take time to become FLOWER.  To make simple, Conscious thought can be made more vibrant or energized through AFFIRMATION (Words and Emotion) & VISUALIZATION (Mental Picture and Emotion).  This means that you are repeatedly bringing your desire (CONSCIOUS MEMORY) as thought or mental picture, stay focused on that without any impediment thoughts and also adding Strong Emotion to that for FEW DAYS (LOOP) CONSISTENTLY so that CONSCIOUS MEMORY become more vibrant due to Emotional Charges and one day it become fully energized and then fall into the Sub Conscious as IMPRINT.  When the Sub Conscious Imprint further gets more energized then it will become UNCONSCIOUS means every cell of your body carry this information.  Through your efforts you are making it happening. We will explore more about this point in our next blog content.  The SECRET book says in philosophical way, once your desire reaches Sub Conscious, the universe will find its own way to fulfill your dream. In Psychological terms it refers that “YOU ARE BECOMING THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE”. This is what we refer as “TRANSFORMATION” in the last blog posting. In this state whatever action you perform, you are taking one step towards your goal.

Q3. HOW MANY DAYS (The Time Duration) IT TAKES TO MAKE WEAK MEMORY TO STRONG SUBCONSCIOUS IMPRINTS ?.  It depends on the person.  If he does it with Consistent, Dedicate and truly bring Strong Emotion to the Desire and live with it, you can make it happen at an early date

Q4. WHY FEELING / EMOTION IS SO IMPORTANT ?  In the SECRET Book it says “WHATEVER YOU THINK / DESIRE, IT WILL COME TRUE IN LIFE”.  But it is partially correct.  Thinking & Feeling is complimentary to each other.  But Thinking is the Prerequisite and Feeling is the Dominating Factor.   In simple word Thinking is like a balloon and Feeling is like the Gas.  Only Gas inside the balloon can take the balloon to height.  Similarly Feeling / Emotion is the Spirit which make you to act upon on your Desire to reach the Goal.

In the next Article we will explore more about this.
