Is Mind Created by the Brain?

Psychologists, as well as other scientists in differing fields, mistakenly assumed that mind or consciousness was purely material in form. It understands not what yoga proposes, which is that matter is controlled by mind, and not the other way around. The material reality we experience is so utterly subjective, but it seems to cause thought. It turns yogic philosophy on its head!

The subtle vibrations of the consciousness, are in fact, what causes the world of form or exist at all. It is so sensitive to the fluctuations of the mind, that you can literally call to yourself the exact people, experiences and situations that you most often ruminate on.

This is not much different than the concept of homeopathy. The qualities of an herb or flower, administered to a patient, only cause the recipient’s consciousness to become more aligned with the qualities of the flower, root or herb. So while the materialized form is being used to influence reality, it would seem that the material world is the director and the mind simply follows its leads.

What really transpires, though, is a shifting of consciousness that allows a different experience. It is not the matter itself that has much effect on the person who takes an herbal remedy. In fact, most homeopathic remedies are so diluted that the atoms that form the molecular structure of the plant are not even traceable any longer in the distilled water in which the remedies are carried. The water simply acts as a carrier signal for the vibration or standing wave pattern to deliver the level of consciousness of the flower to the person who takes its essence. The consciousness changes, the material form is almost irrelevant.

An homeopathic remedy for insomnia, for example, simply creates the energetic or consciousness of, say, passionflower. The flower’s ‘mind’ or consciousness is superimposed upon your own, so that a person begins to sleep more easily and experiences less anxiety. To understand this phenomenon more easily, we can begin with the western concept of mind.
