Every body has mind power, I have learned to direct it toward my body and thus influence the cold and heating-system of my metabolism.
Mind is a captive of the body.
What I most want you to understand is that your body is continuously and convincingly sending messages to your brain, and you get to control the content of those messages.
Having a body is in itself the greatest threat to the mind... The body encloses the mind in a fortress; before long the mind is besieged on all sides, and in the end the mind has to give itself up.
I'm not only my spirit buy my body, and who can decide how much I, my individual self, am conditioned by the accident of my body? Would Byron have been Byron but for his club foot, or Dostoyevsky Dostoyevsky without his epilepsy?
The mind shapes the body, and the body shapes the mind.
And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.
What I really found myself interested in was the idea that our minds our so powerful and when we're living, the mind is dampened by the body. As crazy as our minds can get, they're only so crazy because they're physically housed.
Volumes are now written and spoken upon the effect of the mind upon the body. Much of it is true. But I wish a little more was thought of the effect of the body on the mind.
The human mind evolved always in the company of the human body, and of the animal body before it was human. The intricate connections of mind and body must exceed our imagination, as from our point of view we are peculiarly prevented from observing them.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
The condition of the physical body can affect the spirit.
Emotionally men and women are different, but only as a result of the physical differences. It all comes back to our bodies.
My body was braille for the creeping influences.
