Has your will ever been able to smash through a wall in your mind?

Question

Have you been able to destroy a wall in your mind through force of your will alone?

Answer 1

Yes. Your will can overcome any obstacle, even your own mind. Your will must be stong and determined and the cause of your will should be based in truth, not self-deception.

Your ability to "break down walls in your mind" has nothing to do with god, a higher power or a support group of some sort. It has everything to do with your inherent ability to change the way you think and the knowledge that it is possible.

Answer 2

If you mean in terms of visualization, yes, with ease. My mind has been doing some trippy things lately, often by surprise.

I have been visualizing travel all over the Earth, and the force of going somewhere, then opening my eyes and suddenly being pulled back into myself, it is so strange. I looked up at a planet and started to "go" there, but now is not the time for that. I just thought, if I go there it will be the same as here. I cant exactly explain int, but it was that there and here are in the same time and if I were actually there, it would be the same "place" in terms of the plane we are all on now.

Answer 3

When I was a junior in high school, many of my classmates didn't know my name and almost none of my schoolmates knew me. I overheard two girls talking about me, and they were only able to identify me as "Betty's sister." This was in a school of 50 kids per class. I was incredibly shy, and I recognized that night that it was handicapping me. My senior year I went out for cheer leading, and was elected. I tried out for a school play and got a nice (not lead) part. I didn't run for class office, but I got involved in a campaign. All those were absolutely counter to what I wanted to do, and all put me at risk for (and some resulted in) embarrassing moments.
My experience would seem to be that I have broken through the wall of shyness by simply acting my way out of it. I'm not sure I could claim it was "force of will alone," though. I had a drama teacher junior and again senior year who was so supportive and encouraging that I felt safe in making a few changes. I had a German teacher who didn't get much German to stick, but she was successful in getting me to see a wider world and a place for me in it if I could or would leave my comfort zone. I was prepared by a solid education and supportive parents to go on to college, and move out of the cocoon I had constructed for myself until the epiphany of realizing I had no identity of my own in our tiny school.

There are other choices I've made on a very conscious level counter to my first instinct, because the first instinct was clearly not in my best interest nor in the interest of those around me. If by wall you mean your first instinct or natural inclination or even what you've been taught your whole life, then yes, I've broken through, but honesty compels me to add that I've done so only with the support of people who may or may not have even known about the wall.

Answer 4

Yes, I have smashed trough walls, in my mind, through force alone. Why? as always, when you have a big family a lot of obstacles come to the front.

Answer 5

I used to live in a 2nd story apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom. Building backed up to a wooded area so there were always critters- squirrels, birds, cats & ducks mostly. We'd gotten some nice cool fall weather so hubby decided to open up the windows. I was on my way home from work. Hubby was sitting in the living room talking to me on the phone....he's almost totally deaf in one ear, so the phone was on his good ear. Meanwhile, my dog was in the bedroom clawing & chewing a hole through the screen on the window, wanting to go after some kind of critter he saw down below (probably a cat, they send him into fits of hysteria). Hubby didn't hear him whining, didn't hear any commotion, because the phone was on his good ear. My dog JUMPED out of a 2nd story WINDOW to chase a cat, once he managed to claw a hole in the screen. He was unhurt but a little stiff the following day- thankfully he landed on grass, which I think saved him. A neighbor found him within minutes & brought him back to our apartment- thank goodness for ID tags. And thank goodness I didn't live on the 3rd floor, lol.... Up to that point I'd never had the windows open in that apartment- it was Florida and I always used the A/C. Even so, the floor-ceiling windows made me a little nervous and I remember thinking, "Geez, if I had a toddler I'd never open the windows, they could easily lean against the screen and fall out the window". It didn't occur to me that my dog would do something similar....and I always figured animals had better sense than to jump from extreme heights. Not so much, I guess. Should have put up a gate, or just not have opened that window in the first place!

Answer 6

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

there has been no stronger tool for creating the inner being that I am.

I believe that my heart's desire to tear down the walls of fear, hurt, mistrust etc. is Divine in origin and therefore all I need to do in order to pin point the needed direction of growth is pray.By the will of God, not mine...though I am open to Love and have cultivated a relationship with the Divine.

My will is supported by gifts of insight into the workings of positive thought and the trans-formative power in passive warfare....LOVE!!!

Faith has allowed my heart to hear the direction of the Divine, to recognize Truth and to implement action in ways not common in this world.

Answer 7

Yes, and it was life changing because I HIT the wall full force. When it was gone, I had to find a new way of living.

Answer 8

Yes but Never alone. Only by the grace of the Supreme Lord, God, also known as (Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama etc.) can we overcome this flickering mind With practice and surrender we can overcome this wicked mind, which can drag the living being hither and tither. One must first understand the supreme goal of life, which is to become fully surrendered to God, then one can with strong determination and constant prayer attain the supreme goal and concur the mind.

Answer 9

If we can distinguish between mind and brain,
we will know how to smash through the mind.
We have the mind, brain and feelings.
Thoughts create the mind.
so we know how to break through the mind or even smash the mind or to be unaffected by the mind.

Answer 10

Only in my youth. I built the walls in my mind, just as you built the walls in your own mind. I now recognize that smashing through them or destroying them is counter productive. It is fighting yourself, shadow-boxing.

Far easier is to stop feeding the walls your personal energy and life force. This allows them to crumble as they become useless. No muss, no fuss, no useless expenditure of energy, just discipline.
