The Power of Positive versus Negative
       

The mind is a miracle gifted us by the Creator

The mind is the most wonderful miracle ever gifted to us by the Creator. It has the power to direct all our many other miracles. We have the power to: See. Hear. Touch. Walk. Talk. Still, many just take their bodies for granted. They never listen to the needs of their body from their most precious miracle, the mind.
       

The power of the mind has such strong energy that we can direct our thoughts to three or four different function at one time. Yet, there are those that have a hard time accomplishing one single task during the day.
It has been scientifically noted that humans do not use more than 10% of the brain capacity at any given time. Only people throughout history such as Da Vinci, Einstein, and Michelangelo were above the multitude of the masses of today.

The animal world still holds on dearly to one practice humans have become way too intelligent to use. The sixth sense is something we still have but do not practice anymore, simply because we are way too intelligent to use it. One example that I use in my Seminars is very simple: How many times have you heard your telephone ring and you picked it up and said, “Oh, I was just thinking of you”? That is known as Extra Sensory Perception or the practice of Six Sense.

Some gifted people can foretell of events to come. Sometimes are able to predict something yet to come and still others have the ability of transporting themselves from one place to another. Also known as “Outer Body Experience”.

All these and many more feats can be accomplished with just the power of the mind. There are many books that have been written on the subject of brainpower. And many practitioners exist in the world today, but only few are truly born gifted. When a gifted person is born, it can be felt by the parents that is, if his parents have the ability to recognize the gift. Some child may be born of one gifted parent or sometimes both. In such a case, then the expression “Genius” applies. One who can do more than one thing with his hands: who can be working and thinking of something totally different at the same time. Mozart, I would consider in that category, though many considered him to be insane. And sometimes, this is true, as there is a very thin line between the genius and the insane.
One must train constantly in order that the mind can function in this manner effectively. In order to do this successfully, a person should practice the power of positive energy over the power of negative energy. So many people are so negative that it is impossible for them to give their brain cells the opportunity to think positive.

Consider that positive energy is the basis for everything you do that tends to make you happy in life. Think about it. How many feats do you perform in a day that truly make you feel happy? And how many tend to make you unhappy to the point of wanting to light up, wish you had a drink or feel the day is dragging at a turtle pace?

You must learn to turn negative energy into positive energy. If you don’t think positive, you will not be able to practice positive. How can one turn negative energy into positive energy? Think about it in this manner: when something bad happens (negative) try very hard to find what good (positive) can come because of it and by doing so, you are now practicing positive energy. To learn positive energy is not easy, for we are taught and almost trained, if anything to be on guard, and therefore many of our early teachings, almost from birth, have to do with negative.

So what I am saying is that you must learn as American Indians did in former times: not having the facility of the precious European “reading book”, we had to “listen” to learn. So our mind was forever active, instinctively thinking and very spiritual. It could be said that the Indian used more than 10% of his brain, because he had more reason to do so.
My father, a Nedhni Apache from the Sonora Mountains for instance, was a very Spiritual Man who believed in fairness for everyone regardless of color or creed. A great Character Actor and a very funny Clown who made audiences happy where ever he appeared. An accomplished musician who played several instruments, including Trumpet Marimba and Flute with his own band: he played many melodies like the Danube Waltz and many other melodies of European origin, yet he was never in Europe. He was a Singer, Writer and teacher, teaching many of the young people that joined his circus of his many trades. He manufactured his own magical illusions for his Magic act. He made, without a pattern, a Circus Tent and all the bleacher seating for three hundred and fifty people. He used to sit and have intellectual conversations on political matters of state with highly educated Bishops, Priests and Mayors of the Towns we appeared in, and yet, he was a man who never had a formal education. But he lived a life of positive energy. He never allowed, anything to deter his mind from thinking of doing good deeds for others, which is a very important part of the practice of Positive Energy
My mother was almost a replica of my father in the Entertainment Field, except that she came from an educated Cherokee family. Florinda Blair cherished her husband, my father. Together they formed the most powerful and wonderful singing duet I have ever heard on any stage. She was part Medicine Woman, Singer, Musician and all around Entertainer, besides being the mother who tended me with loving heart and tender hands during the four and one half years of my life in the world of darkness. She believed that, “The Solution is Important, and not the Problem”

Positive has been a part of my family life, all of my life. Every time I find myself at the edge of cliff hanging ready to fall, I am able to succeed in walking away safely by thinking positive.
