Mental Power and the Mind

Author: Sylvia Smelcer

The study of Buddhism leads us from darkness and suffering into happiness and light. Meditation is an important aspect of Buddhism. Using meditation during the study of Buddhism allows us to control our thoughts and focus the mind in order to progress on this path.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. This is a quote from Buddha.

The final destination in the study of Buddhism is Nirvana. The path to Nirvana is one step at a time. With each step, the Buddhist practitioner comes one step closer to enlightenment. Buddhists believe that it takes many lifetimes to achieve this goal, and in the meantime, we are reincarnated. But, although reaching this final destination is the goal, the path is also important. In life, the practitioner should improve their ability to meditate and study. In the meantime, the practitioner can achieve higher awareness, find inner peace, and learn to live in the present.

Buddhism is currently becoming a popular religion in the west. This is partly due to a greater awareness of religions outside of western religions, and also because of studies that show the health benefits of meditation. These discoveries have brought meditation into the mainstream, and there are those who meditate outside of Buddhism and Hinduism, with no religious convictions in mind. But with the benefits of meditation, people begin to form an interest in the religions behind meditation, both Buddhism and Hinduism.

When we meditate the brain goes from the Beta wave state to the Alpha wave state. When we are in the Alpha state we tend to experience a heightened sense of awareness as well as higher cognitive learning and understanding.

For anyone who has spent time with the practice of meditation you likely have realized that it can be very difficult to go from the Beta state to the Alpha state let alone anywhere beyond such as the all encompassing Theta brainwave state. This can take HOURS of practice and YEARS of strict discipline. There is however a secret that some have already discovered – a way to experience deep brainwave meditation without having to give up your life and time in order to meditate like a Buddhist monk.

Brainwave Secrets Revealed

There is a technology known as brainwave entrainment that can tap into the brain and manipulate the brain frequencies to any desired state. Brainwave entrainment usually comes on a CD or in MP3 format and typically encompasses:

• binaural beats
• monaural beats
• isochronic tones.

Different types of brainwave entrainment will work differently but the theory is that by listening to these tones and pulses we can actually work directly with our brainwaves to lower the frequency levels to a state that could only have been achieved through years of meditation practice.

Benefits to Brainwave Meditation

Any person in the self-development world will agree that that are an enormous amount of benefits to meditation. There are truly too many to list them all but here are a few of the most well known benefits:

Geomagnetic reversal,polar shift. Scientists believe the Earth is overdue for a geomagnetic reversal, and has been for a long time, even since the time of the Mayans, because the last reversal was 780,000 years agoAlso, NOAA now predicts that the solar maximum will peak in 2013.

Planet Nibiru, planet,called Nibiru or Planet X, will collide with or pass by Earth in that year. Black hole alignment, An apocalyptic reading of Jenkins’s hypothesis has that, when the galactic alignment occurs, it will somehow create a combined gravitational effect between the Sun and the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy (known as Sagittarius A*), creating havoc on Earth.

Web Bot project The Web Bot project is a series of automated bots that search the internet for specific keywords, looking for patterns. Its co-creator, George Ure, states that its study of “web chatter” predicted the September 11 attacks in New York, though he also suggests that the project can predict natural disasters, such as earthquakes. He now asserts that the project has predicted that the world will end on
