Convincing oneself of something one did not previously believe? Doing something one thought he was incapable of doing?

If the mind was made up only of matter it would be completly controlled by the laws of nature and we would then have no free will. It is the self that interacts with th mind to hep control the person's body. There have been tests and studies done to show that these entities are separate but do interact with each other. Some of these tests were conducted by Wilder Pensfield the father of moern neurosurgery. There was also another investigation into consciousness after death. Honestly this wasn't conducted by the enquirer. It was published by the journal resusitation and presented to scientists at the California institute of technology 2001. There was a study of 63 heart attack victims conducted by a physician and a nueropychatrist. These clinically dead people were revived and 10% had reported well structured lucid thought processes with memory formation and reasoning during the times their brains were not functioning. The effects of oxygen starvation and drugs were ruled out. Later the researchers found numerous similar cases. In Pensfielfd's experiments he stimulated the brains of epilepsy patients and found he could cause them to move their arms and legs, turn their heads or eyes or swallow. He then got them to fight against these imupulses demonstarting their is an internal self that was working against these lectrical impulses. During the stimulation that patients recorded having an existance separate from his body.

To me self-overcoming is detaching myself from what I know, and examining those things which normally my self would tell me is false.

As a nonsense. You can overcome barriers not yourself.

To quiet all the noisy dialog that runs on and on in my head. To stop assuming and pause, ask GOD or the Universe for understanding in all situations. Be open to beauty infinitely within and to see it everywhere externally.
To acknowledge GOD at all times in every situation, and to rest in that awareness.
