All new thoughts and ideas start at the mind and they must be built on a strong foundation or it will collapse. It is just like a 50 story building which is built on a very strong and deep foundation. The stronger it is, the higher the construction can go. This means the greater we can soar is all based on the foundation of our mind.
Yes, everyone can agree that your mind is the most powerful gift you have.
"The imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous and inconceivable force the world has ever known". Said Napoleon Hill.
To realize the full power of your mind, it's important to understand there are three main parts of it. The conscious mind is the part that thinks and reasons. The subconscious mind is the part that carry's out the commands given by the conscious mind. Lastly, the body is part of the mind too. It carry's out the consistent thoughts we put upon it.
Maria Duval thinks that the power of your mind can work for or against you. All depending on how you use it. If you constantly think about what you don't want then you'll have a strong likelihood of creating what you don't want. One must focus on what you really want. Something that creates the passion the core desire.

Foundation of our ideas

Youthful experience
I remember vividly what it was like when I was a child. The sense of sight and feel was really magical. I remember I was running around barefooted around the mountainous region of my grandpa's house and feeling the impact of physical senses coming my way. It was very a strong touch and my young mind and body were naturally filled with all the feelings, sounds, tastes and smells to give me youthful spiritual nourishment.
Without any hesitation, that was the pleasures of life, even for an eight year old.
Now I understand from Maria that these inspiring experiences are in truth the results of Positive Being. It is this wonderful, healing and beautiful quality that is always present within us. It is like a sun inside of us that can spread out its rays brilliantly in all directions illuminating all of our positive aspects. When we allow this radiance to enter all aspects of ourselves each and every second will be filled with wonderful feelings of joy and happiness.
All of our potential is held in the realm of Positive Being. It is full of positive thoughts, feelings, images, experiences, skills, visions and abilities. The benefits of our positive being is that it allows us to enjoy new dimensions of our lives and deepen our understandings of all aspects of our life.
Unfortunately, most of us don't care about this experience when we grow up. All that in our minds are working hard for a living and money. These are good, however, I feel when chances arise, we must let go and experience those youthful experience again..

Dream about a ring
I had a strange dream. On the weekend, I again lost something. This time a ring I have been wearing on my left index finger on months. It was a simple looking peridot ring and I like it a lot. After some frantic search, I declared its status as MISSING. My lovely wife replaced it for me with another similar one the next day. I was so feel of love for her.
Deep inside, I have a feeling that my old ring is somewhere misplaced in my house. On the same night, I had a dream in which I dreamed that I was in a particular room - not sure which is the one - and on one corner of that room, I saw my wife's grandma sitting on the armchair reassuring me that the ring would be found.
Then my sister-in-law who was sitting opposite to her was told by her to move a handkerchief above a jug or container and then she opened it and gave me the new ring I was given by my wife.
I told her that this was not the ring I was looking for and then she told my sister-in-law to do the same trick again. She gave me exactly the same ring for a second time and told her that this wasn't again the ring I was looking for.
Grandma replied that the ring was lost and then out of nowhere my wife appeared and he offered me another ring, a huge gold one with a big clear emerald stone.
I was very surprised by the shape and size of the ring and I found myself wondering why my wife would give it to me... That was when she knocked her elbow on my chest as she turned. I woke up feeling very vivid about this dream. I jotted the dream scape down on a note book besides the bed and back to sleep again....
Interesting, huh?

Seek Peace
What is Peace?
In my view, these are wrong. Let me explain.
Maria Duval says "Peace is where almost all problems of yours are gone"...It's a bit dark, isn't it?
But, with peace means you have acknowledged and dealt with your problems, not push them away. If you constantly refuse these problems, you will not be able to grow. Peace doesn't mean push off everything and relax. It means you have done everything and then do a lot a 'laxing. Peace does not mean you're perfect because we are all human and make mistakes in our life.
Working toward peace is a step closer to enlightenment, as well as other steps below it. Of course, don't push your self too hard in becoming peaceful because you might become a workaholic and burn yourself out day by day, not enjoying life.
Once you find peace in yourself, you find happiness almost constantly.

Purpose of Life
What is the purpose of life? On a day when you are bursting with happiness, did you ask this question? No. Only when life gets a little sedate and depressing you ask. You need a purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient.
Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive. The stock market going up or down is not the biggest thing, you being alive right now is. Everything else is secondary. But most people are not aware of it.
If your experience of life becomes deeper, your question will disappear. When the process of life becomes absolutely exuberant, it needs no purpose. You go to work, your purpose may be to make this much money or to take care of this or that. But if you go to a party, what is the purpose? No purpose, you just like to be there. If life became like one big party you would not wonder what the hell its purpose is. You just like to be there. Life does not need a purpose; it is a purpose unto itself. It need not lead you on to something else.
After some time you wonder what the purpose of life is because you do not see anything in full; this is the nature of sense perception. It is about seeing beyond the sensory eyes. It means that the ability to see has transcended the limitations of sense perception. Sense perception is such that if i just cover these eyes with my hands, they cannot see beyond them. And in the physical world, there is always something or the other which is blocking perception. So when we say "third eye", it means knowing life in its full depth and dimension.
Though life is made in such a way that it does not need a purpose, to encourage people to explore life a little more, we can say that the purpose of life is to know it in its full depth and dimension; otherwise, you will not understand that life does not need a purpose. Once you grasp that you don't need a purpose, just to be alive is great

We dream about
Dreams are the part of life. These are a sign of images, ideas and emotions made up in your mind. These are shown often when you are asleep. These dreams are some sort of person's living desire. Mostly people in the world want to fulfill their dreams. These dreams can be anything related to their choices like money, success, fame or some sort of choice.
Every person in this huge world has a dream about something. But this is a separate part that some of them want to fulfill their dream and some of them just see the dream and forget them when they wake up the next morning. Dreams can be of any sort like it can be about fear, horror, happiness, joy e.t.c...
Dreams can be followed only if you have the complete desire to fulfill them. Dreams are the part of life which are not preplanned. They are often seen when a person is slept. And it is said that dreams are the part of your mind. Whatever you think before sleeping, you usually see the dream related to that thought of yours.
Following your dreams is a nice idea if and only if your dream is meaningful for you. You can follow your dreams by filling the desire in you. The desire of yours can make it possible for you to follow your dreams. All you need is to work hard if you want your dreams to come true. Whatever your dream is, just make it your aim that you have to fulfill it, no matter what you have to do for it.

Getting the desired outcome
We all have habits. Can be good or bad habits, which are something we do over and over again, repeatedly, and we all enjoy spending time repeating it. Sometimes there is an objective, which has good intention to self improve, but we expect to do the same thing with different result and outcome. We think "maybe this time will be different", or
Is it insanity - doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?
Hope not, more likely you have fallen into habits that just aren't letting you get the results you desire or dream of.
I think if there is insanity, pick it from where you fail, drop the bad parts off your chest, and learn from this experience. This is the magic formula.
So repeat, do commit to learning what you need to change, start or stop doing to get the results you want instead of the results you continue to get. You are responsible for the results you have been getting so far, and you will be responsible for the results you get in the future.
Wouldn't it be nice to be responsible for getting the results you desire and dream of?
