When I was younger, I wished I could be a mind reader. I dreamed I could read minds. You'd think that would be a pretty spectacular talent to possess, wouldn't you? Not in my world...
Can you be honest with yourself? Forget about being honest with the people around you for a moment. Are you honest enough—no, brave enough—to admit how selfish you really are? Look at the world around you with a critical eye. How many truly selfless actions do you see committed every day by your fellow man? What are the core reasons behind the decisions we all make day in and day out? Even those actions that could be deemed, on the surface, to be beneficial—deep down isn't there always some thing in it for self and self alone?
As an adult looking back over those dreams, that desire to know the minds of the people around me, I thank my lucky stars that it's nothing I was gifted with. Had I known the thoughts of several of the people that passed in and out of my life, I should be like Alice; firmly committed in some sort of institution. I've known some very dark people, had some very dark experiences. Now I can only guess at the malicious intents of some I've loosely called friend in the past. Were I to know the true depths of the darkness in their hearts and minds, I can't imagine being able to hold onto my sanity. There's not enough good in the world to counter the poison that runs through some.
Don't think I hold myself above a deep and abiding self-interest. I state quite clearly that if you, dear reader, could see my thoughts and know my heart, you would run screaming from me in terror. There surely is more dark side to me than light. I just know how to hide it better than others. If you had a sixth sense, what would it be?

I believe that mine would be truly knowing what people think of me. I have a hard time determining the real me, I am somewhat of a chameleon and it's quite frightening that I really don't know myself. I try to be everything to everyone. (one of my fave. Everclear songs)
ReplyDeleteMind Power is intense and real. If you have the determination and foresight to ask the Universe for exactly what you want.. you should get exactly what you ask for. Your connection to the line to ask the Universe - is the power you possess in yourself. That all begins with your mind power. Try it.
