THE 'MIND' AS A POSSIBLE VULNERABLE SPOT

The existence of 'the mind' as real, objective entity has yet to be fully proven. It is a word that covers and attempts to describe a wide variety of processes, activities, and behaviors,etc.-all of which cna be better described as 'mental', which tend to concern what are called: 'ideas','thoughts' 'concepts' 'logic' etc. and very 'intellectual aspects' or 'mental apparatus', 'mental machine' etc. part of a SYSTEM-brain, nerves,etc. and usually apart from the EMOTIONAL,PHYSICAL, INSTINCTIVE, & SEX CENTERS that comprise people who are 'mechanical' in nature and generally 'asleep' that is, not really 'CONSCIOUS' or 'AWAKE',etc. To say that the 'mind' is the most vulnerable part of the body or or a person is not accurate-the mental processes and activities, described by various psychological studies and theories and systems, at AN EARLY AGE are more malleable, impressionable,and sometimes easily influenced-but once impressions and influences have entered the 'mind' that CONSTRUCT-called THE PERSONALITY, the 'mind's' supposed vulnerability becomes lessened and only certain things can alter the established patterns of life and habits, customs and mores, etc. despite notions of 'free-will' etc. being held by many usually those who cannot demonstrate such for all their verbalism and theories... Actually, we are 'CONDITIONED' by our ENVIRONMENTS as well as by heredity, far more than we realize or are willing to accept, believing that we can always alter circumstances,events, and habits,etc.. We do not always realize that environment can and does contain an almost infinite series of complexities, impressions, and influences....that affect us and not just those we tend to focus on and consider 'highly important',vital to our existence, and socially acceptable,etc. and though we may think that such affect us subconsciously or unconsciously, we all tend to ignore such....despite impulses, urges, inclinations and feelings, which are more frequently than understood confused with thinking or thoughts.... We can use drugs and hypnotism and certain other things to alter 'the mind',our perceptions, our physical states, and this may take ;much time and in life and death situations, this is not possible for most-as they tend to rely on action-reaction....... Although one may,indeed, have certain 'psychic','mental' etc. 'powers' adn the like the average person in self-defense situations and even venerable masters may not be able to exercise them in such responses as physical attacks, though 'mental' attacks(curses, hexes,enchantments,etc.) may be dealt with more easily by some, though most of us remain somewhat sceptical of such.......More on all this at another time.
