The power of cognition
It is
supported that one’s thoughts influence one’s life. To describe this phenomenon
the popular folk expression “it’s all in the mind” is being used. We will try
to explain how cognition works and in what way it influences, indeed, life at
the physical plane.
The table below represents the participation of
the man in all levels of existence. One’s physical body is being manifested at
the physical level. One’s energy body occupies space within all the rest fields
at any moment, even though one has usually no consciousness of this presence.

The physical world, as it is known, functions
under physical laws and undergoes time and space limitations i.e. there exists
the sense of the linear flow of time. On the contrary, the thinner fields do
not undergo such limitations. A clear mind fully developed within these
levels can materialize in the third dimension instantly i.e. a “magician” who
can create fire on physical matter by using his thought. It is worth saying
that most people do this regularly without realizing the degree of interference
upon their own lives. Thereby, for example, the man who visualizes the ideal
parking place finds it right after the corner, while the one who constantly
states at oneself that one does not have the money to buy a better car it is
exactly that state which one materializes, never having the money to do so. Under
every problematic situation in our lives we should, thereby, examine the mental
root from which it derives.
The mental plane is where a thought is born and
is incarnated due to its staple which is called elemental essence. Elemental essence is considered as
being semi-intelligent due to its special capability to work quantumly and
obtain sometimes autonomy. Whenever we make a thought we cause vibrations of
the matter of the mental plane. Each thought according to its intensity and
quality can formulate the elemental essence for a short or longer time. The
forms created may only surround its creator and give one back instantly their
result in the physical world. They could also be created and be directed
towards another person i.e. the prayer of a mother for her child, which can be
very protective. Or perhaps their creator because of love and altruism has
formed and deposited them in the mental plane in order to influence positively
the conscious of other “users” of the plane. All men after all can keep
mental contact through this common field in which our mentality is being
manifested. Constant interaction and speed of action towards and from the
physical plane is the key to understand that we have the responsibility of our
lives in our hands.
Thus, whichever ideas and beliefs we maintain
for every subject, even if we do not express them verbally and orally, we
materialize them in life. This way one who believes that one cannot find a job because “there are
no jobs” creates for oneself all the conditions so as not to find the position one
would like. One who thinks that people are mean and dangerous it is most
possible that will be attracting people who will really harm one. A woman who
loves and cares for herself and is ready to give love is probable to meet soon
her partner and have children. The patient who does not trust doctors could be
treated with indifference by a doctor who would undertake him.
In a few words, whatever we reap in life is
what we sow on the mental plane. It should be reminded that the more one
thought is being repeated the stronger and steadier its materialization. This
is why old established notions need more effort from one’s part in order to
change and bring about the necessary changes in life.
It is recommended for the man to understand the
volatility of the physical world and the superiority of cognition over it. The
things sometimes conceived as “facts” or “reality” are the creation in which oneself
insists. They are one’s personal reality. If one makes the acknowledgement of
the “fact” that one is for example the worst student in class, then at the very
moment one has strengthened it and has given at it the importance of the “fact”
for all those who “see” it in the common mental plane. Thought is material in
its essence above and beyond. Everything is matter after all. The mental
material can become raw material leading to happiness if we learn to use it
correctly.
At this point a special reference should be
made about the thought-forms. Sometimes a thought is especially fortified and
its incarnation from elemental essence is much more concrete and full, unlike
an evanescent and weak thought. A thought-form could in some cases obtain such
a precise “body” that it ends up to become an alive entity in its level of
functioning and to gain independence until some degree. It is
differentiated in size, shape, color, duration and quality according to who has
created it and for what reason. It could be carrying positive quality and be
wandering at the upper mental plane or it could be negative and be moving in
lower vibration. It could also be specifically orientated towards a man or it
could be potentially harmful until it meets someone whose energy body can
attract it unlike repulse it. Whatever the quality it brings and no matter
how strong it is, it can influence positively or negatively only the person who
accepts to become a recipient. For example, an angry man or someone who
does not love oneself could very easily attract harmful thought –forms and
deteriorate his situation without realizing that he alone aggravates his mental
confusion. On the contrary, a pure man who does not carry any flaws on his
energy body under no circumstances will he attract a negative thought-form. He
will definitely repulse it, and if this thought-form derived from someone it
will return to its creator according to the law of the boomerang motion,
causing the latter the damage it contains. This is another reason for which it
is recommended that the man should purify his energy body· to avoid attracting
in his life more negative situations.
A thought-form is trying to maintain itself in
life as much as possible, therefore it searches for receivers in order to be
strengthened and reproduced. This is the reason why we notice some ideas to be suddenly conceived during
the same period from a large number of people and is seems like they have
sprouted from nowhere. This can also explain the mode phenomenon which is transferred so rapidly and influences
people. It is again highlighted that the space-time distance is not valid in
the mental plane. A thought-form can instantly impact the physical plane
regardless of when and where it has been created. Those who can create such
forms (these are often called egregors but they are creations of the human
mentality) can use them in order to influence the mass, for evolution or not.
It is thereby understood that there are no universal, intertemporal or other
kinds of “truths”. The truths of every period and every society are simply what
has been deposited on the mental plane during that period.
