Culprit of the subconscious mind

See I have observed that fear is a big culprit of our subconscious minds. I’ve noted that fear can do one of two things to one who is conscious of the fear or has it hidden in the subconcious. First is that it can paralyze the person, making the person fear further in repeating an action or weakens the individual to feel it’s a waste of time to do anything to change the circumstances even if it involves carrying out a non-related action. Apathy is the result of what you get with fears in our subconscious minds.

On the other hand, for more action orientated personalities, fear can invoke anger in these individuals which if not controlled by thought results in violence. Fear narrows the mind to a fight or flight mentality, thinking there are only two choices when there could be a third or more. That is why educated people, who in my opinion have had education gone through them instead of just having gone through education, will find themselves in a more optimal state to do something that is more carefully thought of to bring best results with best actions. Mohandas Gandhi was a good exemplar of having an optimal state of mind in his actions to free India from the Great Britain. It was ironical that his strategy was really to do nothing at all but stood firm in his opinions of his mind to free India with passive resistance and told the rest to do the same.

Perhaps he had experienced fear too of the mighty British Empire. His Optimal Mind must have enabled him to avoid re-actively to fight against them or run away from them. Instead he managed the fear that could make him angry or paralyze his mind to choose neither. As history records it, he directed the paralyzing part of fear to paralyze the British Empire instead by teaching his country men the strategy of passive resistance.

The Power of Reason

This 'The Thinker' statue by Rodin is a good introduction to the human brain or mind which is also seen in a video at the end of 'The Power of Interaction' journal. The Power of Reason helped me achieve the following: I call it today as 'Objective Reasoning', a path of Academia I was well prepared for as one born in the 50s. I just had to memorize all that was taught to me, according to a set of published curriculum, to be able to answer questions posed to me in the official examinations.  I basically fulfilled what my Father desired from education as he himself, coming from a poor financial background, climbed his way up through Academia with scholarships to study in the United Kingdom and later to Holland for an advance course in photogrammetric engineering. Being born in 1921 in the era of British Malaya, he became the father of 5 boys where he knew how to guide them through the education system that he was well versed but maybe didn't have to worry abou

The Power of Interaction

Before the start of a Pandemic lockdown in Malaysia that began on 18 March 2020   The above photos were all taken at Blue Boy Mansion except the bottom right as my 2nd daughter was expecting her 2nd child and did not fly the distance from US. The 3 pics were taken within a couple of months before the Pandemic hit the whole country not forgetting the world! My 2nd grand daughter is seen in the photo taken after she was born in April of 2020. The borders soon all became closed and I would lose physical contact with my close family members. How did I feel in my heart, mind and soul? In the period of less than two years since the lockdown, strangely I considered myself to be in the busiest time of my life! Why so? Listen to this latest online opportunity I had to express myself. I spoke from my heart mainly as my mind was fuzzy about years or figures. It was an impromptu dialogue, not a prepared speech. I was fully 'Interacting' with the host, highlighting the power of 'Intera

Power of Purpose

This is the third and last of my tripartite nature of Man series, the Spirit part after I've covered the Body( Power of Interaction ) and Mind( Power of Reason ). My father had a keen interest in photography, a strong habit in organizing and filing documents or photographs which I believe was passed on to me. He was influential or a strong guide to his four sons in education, who helped me choose a profession that had a "Chartered" title like he had, and passed that to a couple of my brothers too. It was a title inherited from the British that ruled Malaya to eventually become known as Malaysia where I was born a year after independence in 1958. My grandfather on my mother's side By the time I graduated and later worked as an articled clerk to become a Chartered Accountant, the British way of becoming a professional, my Consciousness in life had made me quite a different Man with a different Purpose. I ended up with a unique resume of my own with a strong spiritual b
