It sounds shocking that I described the power of the mind in the book "Believe it and Do It", and I talked about the mind in the "Secret" film, but now I understand that the idea is not my choice at all. It seems that when I think I have set up an idea, I just say the impulse that is already working in my brain.

Then the question becomes: What or who makes my brain send out thoughts? In fact, I later asked Dr. Hugh Blue, "Who's the boss?" and he laughed and said he liked the question.

Well, what's the answer?

I admit that the question of "mind" still confuses me. I lost weight with strong willpower and lost about 36 kilograms. In such a situation, did I declare an intention or only respond to a message from my brain to lose weight?

Is this inspiration, or is it a memory? I wrote to ask Dr. Hugh Len. He replied to me this way:

Inside zero, nothing exists. No problems, no ideas.

Worries about weight are just a reproduction of memories that replace zero. You have to return to the state of zero, and you need the divinity to erase the memories hidden behind the weight worry.

There are only two laws governing experience: inspiration from the divine, and memories stored in the subconscious. The former is brand new, the latter is old.

Great my calm Dr. Hugh Blue

It seems to me that Dr. Shue Lan is seeing through the mind and moving towards the Source, the state of zero, where there is no limit. From there, you'll experience memories or inspiration. Worrying about weight is a memory, and the only thing you have to do is love it, forgive it, and even thank it. Through cleansing, the divinity will have the opportunity to be revealed and inspired.

The craving to overeat seemed really a stereotype to me, leaving me obese for almost most of my life. This longing bubbles up from my consciousness, and unless I clear it out, it will keep going up there. Because it would keep floating on the surface, I had to keep watching my decisions: whether to overeat or not. So it became a lifelong struggle, and it wasn't fun at all. Yes, you can overcome the tendency to self-indulgence by "saying no," but it obviously takes a lot of mental and sustained effort. Slowly, refusing to indulge may become a new habit, but how much pain to experience before reaching this goal!

Conversely, by erasing memories, one day the stereotypes will disappear, and then the desire to overeat will not reappear, and only peace remains in our hearts.

In short, the idea is like a broken rag compared to the beauty of inspiration. As long as I keep the idea of doing something, I will continue to have feelings of confrontation with it, and once I surrender to inspiration, my life will be completely transformed.

I'm still not sure if that's how the world works, and I'm still confused about the power of the mind, so I decided to keep exploring.

When I had dinner with Ms. Rhonda Byrne, the creator and producer of The Secret, I asked her one thing I've always wanted to know: "Did you create the idea for the secret, or did you receive the idea?" ”

I know she was inspired to create this well-known movie trailer that caused a viral marketing trend. She had told me that the idea for the trailer flashed in a matter of seconds, and then she completed the actual trailer within 10 minutes. Apparently, she got some kind of inspiration to create the most powerful movie trailer in history.

But what I want to know is if the idea for this whole movie came from her inspiration or for other reasons. This is the key to my concern with the idea, which is whether we declare the idea first and create the difference, or do we take the idea first and then call it the idea? That's what I asked Rhonda as well.

Rhonda was silent for a long time, and she looked away to think carefully about my question, and searched within herself for the answer. Then she finally spoke.

"I'm not sure," she said, "the idea is coming at me, that's for sure." But it was I who completed it and created the film. So I would say I realized the idea. ”

Her answer was instructive. Ideas come to her, that is, ideas come to her in the form of inspiration. And because this movie is so powerful and the marketing is so good, I can only believe that it is all a manifestation of divinity. Yes, Rhonda did it, and the idea itself came in the form of inspiration.

Interestingly, after the film was released for several months and the sound of the discussion broke through the historical record of similar films, Rhonda wrote an email to all those who appeared in the film, saying that the film now has its own life. She is not declaring her mind, but responding to the call of inspiration and seizing the opportunities that follow. Later, she published a book, and Reilly King made a special episode based on the film's concept. Then its audiobooks were published, and a sequel was underway.

When you come from a state of zero without limits, you don't need to have a mind, you just accept it and put it into action.

Then the miracle will strike.

However, you can also prevent inspiration from coming. Rhonda could resist the impulse that prompted her to create the film, as free will emerges. If the idea to do something comes to your mind – it's either from inspiration or from memory – once you perceive that impulse, you can choose whether or not to take action.

According to Jeffrey Schwartz in Reinventing the Brain, your consciousness—the ability you choose—can veto the impulses that arise unconsciously. In other words, you may have the urge to pick up the book, but you may also ignore that impulse if you want to. That would be called free will or, according to Schwartz, a free "want."

He writes: "A few years later he [Libert] adopted the concept as a gatekeeper, responsible for guarding the floodgates through which thoughts keep coming out of the brain. Of course, free will cannot avoid moral cues in the brain. ”

Legendary psychologist William James believes that the point in time when free will appears is after people develop the urge to do something, and before they actually do it. Again, you can want it or not, but you have to be careful to see your choices. What Dr. Shue Len taught me was that by constantly clearing all thoughts— whether they were inspirations or memories — I was able to make the right choices in the present moment.

I began to discover that I was losing weight because I refused to follow the memories or habits that prompted me to eat more and move less. By choosing to abandon those addictive impulses, I strengthened my ability to "want" or "don't" freely. In other words, the urge to overeat is a memory rather than an inspiration, it comes from a stereotype, not from divinity, but I always ignore that stereotype. I suspect that a better way for Dr. Shue Len to suggest that I use is to love that stereotype until it dissolves to the point where there is only divinity.

I still don't quite understand all of this, but I keep listening and not ready to cut anything because it's brand new to me. And I couldn't predict what awaited me next.
