Especially your own. Beyond intelligence, reason, logic and all those good words lay the power of the mind. Those powers have been kept from you for generations. You are taught to not believe in them.
For instance; You are encouraged not to be presumptive. When in fact "presumptive" from you mind is a powerful force.
Think these powers do not exist? How do you believe great power has been held over huge masses of people for thousands of years by a very few individuals and their progeny?

"Is it not written that Ye Are Gods" -Jesus.
I believe that. Most of us only use between 5-10% of our brain. Its common sense that the other 90% may be holding extraordinary powers. For whatever reason though the masses haven't been able to tap into it. Either because we aren't trying hard enough or there is a force (seen and unseen) doing everything you can possibly imagine to keep us from activating our mind. I think its the latter.

Are you familiar with the mind/body problem? This is essentially the idea that 'mind' is distinct from the body. Whereas the body is physical and spatially extended, mind is neither of these, according to this view. I believe Rene Descartes put forth this view, and the problem consists in explaining how two substances (mind and body) that are distinct can interact. When I have the thought of lifting my arm, and then I move my arm--how is this possible? I don't want to give the impression that this is the only point of view. Modern science has reduced everything to chemical processes, and would even go as far as to say that mind is not something different from the brain. I, for some reason, don't buy that. Surely the mind is not the brain, though they're certainly related. I read once: "The brain breathes mind the way lungs breath air." In other words, the brain is the instrument of the mind. So, my point is that before we can even begin to understand what the mind is, we need to ask how it is constituted. What is its ontological status? If the mind is non-spatial, how is it possible that it can interact with the physical world? Most importantly, What is mind?

Pour huge amount of water on land, and you will see that water going all around and never reaching any particular point. But if you had made a cannal, and then por water into it, it goes where you wanted it to go. Hydro elecricity projects works on this principle.
sun rays go all around, but when you use a convex lense to beam a very little amount of sun rays to one single point, it fires. Imagine making some more sunlight concentrating at one point!
Mind is analogical to both above statements. Mind has tremendous power, but forstly one neeeds to discover that, and then train the mind to use the power. Indian Philosophers realised this long before there were even other civilisations, and the entire indian knowledge and Wisdom is a creation of the trained and 'prepared' minds. There were no objective sciences, experimental methods, instruments, and yet they learned much more than perhaps what we learn now.
And that is why Indian knowledge system makes a distinction betwen 'intellectual / cognitive knowledge' and experiential knowledge, which is termend 'wisdom' . Wisdom comes only through the operation of mind, and mind only, intellect can not give you wisdom.
Have no doubt whatsoever in the power of mind, your mind, and yourself. Try to read, Patanjali, Bhagavad Gita etc., for a start.

Not anyone can encounter the sixth sense.
These certain individuals spent most of their child hood preoccupied in the after world and study peoples habits, words, character, personality's. They analyze and intellectualize. They form a bond in spirit to go after what no man has done or for those who have.
By the time they reach adult hood their so good at what they do they can tell who you are and what you are after you speak a few words. How you dress. Your colors you choose and the shoes you wear.
Your appearance and how you treat others.
Everything about you is revealed and you yourself don't even know it.
OBE's are phenomenal and those people who have done it know that they can't stay away from the body long or it takes longer to get back in.
The setbacks are restlessness, loss of sleep and the inability to sleep afterwards.
You could end up in a coma.
Mastering OBE's is nothing to play with. It's like a child learning a new ability without the educations of it and there is no books written on the consquences of the adventure.
In my personal experience I say it is best left alone for it has no real purpose and will bring disharmony to you and your family. It may even get you killed.
People will not understand your gift and when you reveal what they have doen in private it only makes matters worse and you draw enemies.
IT IS BEST LEFT ALONE
*** I have done it***

I don't - but do you? Read up NLP, Accelerated learning, Derren Brown. Who needs to go supernatural when the natural is so powerful.
As to power - look not at the powerful but those who run away from power for the answer to that.

I think we hugely underestimate our power or our capability of using our mind, and I am not the only one to think so. I have heard and read people say that we, the most clever among us, our most advanced scientists, only reach to use up to max ten per cent of our brain capacities.
We do not allow ourselves individually to fly high. We think it is not good to boast of one's habilities and successes.
Our religion wants to teach us to be humble, meeky, to have no earthly ambitions, to love poverty in spirit and in body, so that our power-seeking leaders in their attire of holy pastors and herders hand in hand with the politicians as our ruling classes, may govern us domesticating us in our soul and in our body.
Most often we have to renounce the powers of our brain in order to avoid conflict, in order to earn a space and a career in our world, in order to try to live more or less peacefully in a society that in fact keeps us as hostages, that wants to educate us as disciplined robots of a system were everybody knows his or her place and level in the system.
But we can still seek to use the powers of our mind or brain in an astute way always trying to keep a succesful track in a way that may warrant the safety or illusion of a delicate balance.
And that means that while we are the robots or the hostages of a system we may more or less astutely, more or less deceitfully, more or less secretly have the power of our mind as our real friend, as our most sure and most warm and fiercy ally, while trying to secure our survival if not our prominence in our world.

Sometimes I use my 'presumptive' mind power to get laid. It's awesome. Why didn't somebody use this 'presumptive' mind power before!?
