It is difficult to answer this in one word about the mind. Because the mind cannot be grasped, cannot be touched. To date no scientist has been able to grasp or touch the mind or conduct experiments in test tubes in a laboratory. But just as the saints of the early ages were aware of the functioning of the mind, so are the scientists of the present age. After thousands of years of observation- experiment- experiment they came to a conclusion that the mind is the source of all human power. We will be able to fully utilize this power only if we can properly understand this power of the mind.
Where is the source of mind power?
Before uncovering the power of the mind, we need to review our understanding of human beings. Once upon a time, science thought that humans were collections of objects that somehow learned to think. And now science thinks that man is a collection of consciousness or information around which the body is formed. At the root of the change in science’s understanding of humans are incredible advances in genetic research. DNA is the core of every living cell. Everything about how life will develop is written in this DNA. Plants, animals and birds, bacteria and viruses, DNA is the heart of everything.
What is the strategy of the development of the human body?
Looking at the development of the human body, we see that after the union of an egg and a sperm in the mother’s womb, new DNA is created by combining the DNA of the egg and the DNA of the sperm. This DNA code is gradually recording how it will develop into a full-fledged human-child and how the body will function from conception to death.
It is surprising to think that this DNA is constantly dividing itself and increasing the number of living cells, forming various organs of the body and even complex organs such as the brain. After becoming a full-fledged child, it is managing everything by itself, developing the body and mind comprehensively. In short, DNA can be called the blue-print of life. To explain DNA we can take a car as an example. Suppose you buy a blue-print of a car from the market and keep it in the garage.
Now imagine, the blue-print slowly builds the car engine, car body, seat and seat cover, driving panel, wheels, windshield etc. and spray paints the car to shine. Then he made a petrol tank and filled it with petrol and started driving himself. Only by understanding and understanding this concept is it possible to appreciate the role of DNA in the development of life.
What is the structure of DNA?
In short, the structure of DNA requires an electron microscope to observe it. It looks like a crooked staircase. Nobel Prize-winning scientists and DNA experts. John Kendoo says, ‘It is taped to the nucleus of the cell. A DNA tape would be a meter long if straightened. The number of functions of this DNA in the human body is seven lakh. It would take a thousand encyclopedias to translate the information contained in a cell’s DNA.
Consciousness is invincible – why is there no end?
Each of the 50 to 70 trillion cells in the human body has a complete set of three billion genetic bits. Each cell’s DNA is a carbon copy of the other. Brain neurons and skin cells are genetically identical. Despite being made from the same DNA, they have different functions and lifespans. The same DNA is building all types of cells in the body like bone, liver, kidney, heart etc. in an incomprehensible way. And each of these cells has a specific lifespan.
The lifespan of a cell cannot be determined by looking at it alone. For example, neurons in the brain and olfactory cells in the nose look similar. But even though the lifespan of neurons is many years, olfactory cells change in four weeks.
Each cell is made up of different atoms, which practically fly around. Everything in the body is changing. Stomach lining changes in five days, skin in five weeks, red blood cells in four months, bone cells every three months, liver cells take years to replace, brain cells do not.
The flow of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen in your body is so fast that within a few weeks you will be completely new. Only heavy elements such as iron, magnesium and copper slowed the process. Yet radioisotope experiments at the Oak Ridge Laboratory in California have shown that 98 percent of the atoms or atoms in our bodies change each year. But despite these constant material changes the shape or identity of any part of your body or your shape or identity has not been lost in any way. Liver remains liver, stomach remains stomach, kidney remains kidney. And you have remained a clear human being for millions of years. Body material comes and goes, but at the genetic level you are permanent. The basic information structure of your DNA is not changing.
Details About DNA!
This DNA creates the biological clock. And this biological clock controls all the rhythms of life in the tides of awakening, sleep, hunger, thirst, body heat, blood pressure, sex and various hormones. A tiny control center called the suprachiasmatic nucleus located in the hypothalamus controls the inner wheel. Starting with the body’s 28-day menstrual cycle, the three-hour flow of growth hormone is controlled from this tiny center. Even the chemical reactions that take place thousands of times per second inside each organism or cell follow the rhythm and direction of this master clock of the body.
In other words, DNA is your genetic memory. You can now recover from a cold or any other disease, because the memory and information of the antibodies that learned to fight bacteria and viruses millions of years ago are stored in your thymus gland. Your immune system is an encyclopedia of information about every disease your ancestors have suffered. Your life, your soul, rests on the encyclopedia of information gained from the deaths of thousands of generations from fevers, inflammations, plagues, etc.
How do you explain life?
Without going into the complicated discussion about the evolution of life, we can draw a very simple point from our daily life. And that is breath. Think of the oxygen in the atmosphere around you. Oxygen atoms are wandering around in the air.
How is matter transformed into life?
These oxygen atoms in air are matter. And this oxygen atom becomes ‘alive’ as soon as it combines with the hemoglobin of the blood, passing through the almost transparent membrane of the lungs in less than a thousandth of a second during inhalation. The color of hemoglobin changes instantly from dark blue to bright red. A stray oxygen atom in the atmosphere transforms into ‘apana’, this atom crosses the invisible boundary between animate and inanimate matter.
How many oxygen atoms enter the body once a breath is taken?
Five trillion red blood cells in the body are exposed to air with each breath. Each blood cell contains 280 million hemoglobin molecules. The old ‘brick’ is replaced by the new ‘brick’. The old gives way to the new easily—just like the flow of a river. Oxygen, a lifeless substance a moment ago, is involved in many strange activities inside the body. Usually 60, In seconds and during exercise in 15 seconds, oxygen atoms go around the whole body once.
During this period, half of the new oxygen entering the body is leaving the blood and becoming part of kidney cells, neurons, muscle cells or skin cells. Oxygen atoms can stay in your body from minutes to a year per cell and participate fully in what you are capable of doing. An oxygen atom can bind to a neurotransmitter and become part of your pleasant thoughts. Again, adrenaline can spread panic in you by becoming part of the molecule. May combine with glucose to become food for brain cells.
Again, white blood cells can sacrifice themselves for you to fight off invading bacteria. And all these are controlled by the information stored in the DNA. If we go deeper, we see that DNA is primarily a delicate combination of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. A fine pulsing thread knotted. It is this delicate vibrating thread that reinforces the DNA—any exception—the thread will snap if it moves even a millionth of a millimeter. And at the root of all the subtle vibrations of life is a subconscious.
Final Word!
If you can realize the power of consciousness and information in this context of life and soul, you will find the real source of power. The real source of man’s power is not his body, but his consciousness. The body is the abode of this consciousness. So if we can unite with this consciousness, if we can fully understand the consciousness, then we can get full success in life just like we have got a full human body from two DNA. Because the power of the mind is only a form of this consciousness.
This is the difference between genius and ordinary people. Geniuses – saints, scientists and successful people have realized this power of mind, used it creatively. As a result, they became memorable. And ordinary people are not aware of this power of the mind; So they are wasting their infinite potential with pessimistic thinking and re-active actions. In short, the secret of genius’ success lies in awareness of the power of the mind, unwavering faith and trust in the power of the mind, and in the creative application of this power with constant concentration.
