EXPLORING MIND POWER
Thoughts trigger electrical ‘storms' in the brain and produce chemicals that regulate our state of being.  They also guide our choices and actions, which lead to the results we get.  Our thoughts are very powerful indeed.  
Yet consciousness and thoughts are nowhere to be found in our physical universe.  But still we know they exist.  And like all things that exist, they must be a form of energy; a form of energy, as I see it that is free of time and space.  I say this because there are so many unusual life events that seem best understood in this way, such as the following:
Have you ever tuned in to the exact words a person was about to say and spoken them first?  Or have you gotten an e-mail or phone call from someone soon after thinking of them?  Or do you frequently tune in and pluck creative ideas ‘out of thin air’?  Or have you had a sudden inexplicable awareness that a loved one was in trouble ... and later found it to be true? 
Most of us have experienced these kinds of events; ideas seem to be picked up across distances. Further, scientists have noted that separate societies, with no contact, have simultaneously come up with the same inventions and ideas ... seemingly telepathically.  Animals also have demonstrated this ability.  It’s been observed that after a species in one part of the world has learned a new behavior, like making a tool, the same species in another part of the world suddenly knows how to do it, too.
These examples don’t prove anything of course.  They’re merely thought- provoking observations.  Yet put together, they suggest, if we’re open to it, that the power of consciousness and thought may be much greater than we can prove.  Perhaps some truths can never be proven and we’ll always have to rely on intuition and observation to judge what is true.
So put the need for proof aside and make this experiment: intensely focus on a person in your life and keep having positive thoughts about them.  Then see what happens.  You may find that your mind has much more power than you presently believe.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
