Every Monk Knows This: How To Literally Control Your Mind


after living ten years as a celibate
monk in a cloistered monastery in Hawaii
this is probably the most important
thing I could ever share with you
understanding how the mind works there
are two things we need to understand
awareness and the mind let’s define what
they are let’s define awareness as a
glowing ball of light so imagine an orb
a glowing ball of light that can float
around let’s call that awareness and put
that aside now let’s define the mind
let’s define the – a vast space with
many different areas within it one area
of the mind is angry hatred jealousy joy
happiness sex food art science
technology a whole bunch of different
things right
yo awareness that ball of light can
actually move to any area of the mind
you want it to go to so if your
awareness this glowing ball of light
goes to the happy area of the mind it
lights up that particular area of the
mind you become you become conscious of
being happy are you happy no you’re in
an area of the mind call happiness if
this ball of light goes to the angry air
of the mind it lights up that particular
air of the mind are you angry no you’re
in an area of the mind call hang up and
by using your world power and your
powers of concentration you can actually
take your awareness this ball of light
to any area of the mind that you want to
go to so life is a manifestation of
where you direct your energy it truly is
you control way awareness goes you
control where your energy is flowing and
you control what’s manifesting in your
life
right now you are the sum total of where
you’ve been investing your energy
throughout your entire life all day we
allow people and things around us to
dictate where awareness goes in our mind
people and things are two of the biggest
consumers of energy and people and
each day we have this much energy we
take our energy and we invest it into
people and things around us we keep
investing investing investing until we
have no more energy left we get
exhausted that’s usually around 11:00 or
11:30 or midnight we go to sleep our
energy builds up again we go out the
next day and we invest our energy into
people and things so we have no more
energy but but the one thing most people
don’t do is we never evaluate who and
what we’re investing int and so I always
tell people to treat energy the same way
you treat money it’s a finite resource
that needs to be wisely managed wisely
you get told to concentrate but you
never get taught how to do it right if
you want to be really good at
concentration you need to practice it
all day people are good at distraction
because that’s what they practice all
day long it’s not that they don’t have
the ability to concentrate
they’ve just practice distraction and
become really really good at it I
realized that life is finite that I only
have one life as me and regardless of my
beliefs I know I have one existence and
that’s down the pani and what happens
after death I’m not quite sure and
because I my life is finite I want to be
extremely clear where to focus my energy
there’s no point
learning to concentrate if you don’t
know what to concentrate on
to know yourself is one of the greatest
gifts you can give yourself
it truly is right most people don’t
really understand themselves they don’t
understand what they want in life and
therefore find extremely difficult what
to focus the finite amount of energy on
proceed with confidence believe in your
ability to manifest something in your
life because you can how do you manifest
something in your life you take your
awareness you focus it on that thing you
know how to develop concentration now
you keep your awareness on it when you
awareness is on it that’s where your
energy is flowing when your energy flows
there it starts to manifest in your life
and believe in your ability to do that
and proceed with conference confidence
life is meant to be lived joyously it
truly is and if you’re not happy with
life then something needs to be changed
if you ask most people what do they want
in life they’ll always say I want to be
happy happiness should never be pursued
don’t pursue happiness pursue a
lifestyle that results in happiness and
that’s for me what I do I never chase
happiness I’ve received a lifestyle
where the byproduct or the lifestyle has
happens in order to find out what the
lifestyle is I need to know what my
purpose in life is in order to do that I
need to spend time with myself each day
to find out who and what’s important in
my life
take that finite amount of energy that I
have each day focus it into those things
that starts to manifest in my life the byproduct of that is happiness
