Mind Over Matter
 

I had the honor of playing with one of the best trumpet players on the east coast. He believes in using the mind as a tool and think of the final product you want instead of the mechanics that get you to the final product. He told me one story which i found quite interesting:

His good friend works in a lab where they study the brain's effects on the body. There was a death case in which they had to figure out what the hell happened to the guy. The victim died during scuba diving. All of the equipment worked--there was enough air in the tank, the air came out properly. BUT, there was only ONE instrument that malfunctioned...guess what it was........


scroll down...































It was the guage that told them their air supply (the little wrist watch looking thing). It was stuck on the reading "EMPTY" and it caused the diver to believe that there was no oxygen in the tank even though THERE WAS A FULL TANK.


That really is freaky! The scientist figured out that your mind DOES have an effect on your body. They proved it was with negative thinking. I wonder if it works with positive thinking...............(i'll end with that thought)

i've been pondering this for quite some time. Its amazing what your brain can do. For example, I wanted to stay home from school one day a few years ago and told my mom i had a massive headache (even though i didnt). I kept up the act long enough and then pretty soon i started getting this splitting headache out of nowhere. Ever since I've tried many different things and its amazing what you can do if you make your brain work hard enough.

thinks "i will get laid this weekend! i will get laid this weekend!" biggrin:

ME 2

i wont get ass raped when im asleep biggrin:

I've heard from many knowledgeable people about a theory where if you seriously think you're exercising (Which is very hard to do - Would require hypnotism) then, your muscles grow like they would if you really were exercising. I found that very fascinating.

i find that to be bullshit.

Oh yea? well my muslce grows when i seriously think of hot chicks, WHAT NOW?!?

.....Funny how I feel the same way about your existence on these forums.

it works for different people

Can't imagine why. There was a case - and it could very well be an urban myth - about a guy trapped in a Train-Freezer. He thought he was gonna freeze to death, and he did.

When he was found, turned out the in room temperature was not at "freezing" degrees, and the mans hurt still quit on itself.

It's not THAT far fethced to think that the brain can send impulses to the rest of your body based on what it THINKS is going on.

That's interesting.

Maybe oneday in the future, when scientests get a grip on this subject, we could kill ourselves by just thinking about it.

maybe scientists can create something that will allow us to think of swimming or going on vaccation....like downloading memories...hm......Total Recall anyone?

have ya ever had a placebo
tricking the mind is crazy, crazy i tell ya oOo:
