How can mankind make the transition from using the
Traditional Mind to embracing the Organic Mind, without losing the
wonderful creative qualities we have developed over many centuries?
This is a question asked by Michael Morel in his book The
Organic Mind. His desired outcome is that of a society in which
we are all equal and have ample opportunity to use our creative
energy to develop a peaceful earth free from wars, sickness and
poverty.
Michael presents a refreshing yet realistic look at the
way our mind controls our lives and its outcomes. He speaks with
truth and honesty and shows us how using our 'Organic Mind' can turn
our lives around for the better. He doesn't confess to being right or
wrong but uses his personal life experiences to talk of his
discoveries, providing a thought provoking read.
In Chapter One Michael talks of the the Traditional Mind
versus the Organic Mind. He refers to the Traditional Mind being that
of a mind that is not free. A mind that is confined by boundaries,
rules, regulations and laws. The Organic Mind is that of the total
opposite, one that is totally free and guided only by universal
wisdom.
The Organic Mind by Michael Morel offers food
for the mind. It inspires, evokes and empowers. It leaves one feeling
that freedom is on your doorstep and within the grasp of your
thought processes. Within The Organic Mind Michael speaks of
the common denominators within all of us.
“ Although we come in assorted sizes, shapes and
colours, inherently we all have seven common denominators, to a
greater or lesser degree: Body, Mind, Spirit, Soul, Emotions,
Conditioning, Language.”
Within The Organic Mind Michael talks of each
denominator and how it fits into our life. He talks of
“ All manifestations beginning with an idea, a silent
thought or a spoken word.” We are told this time and time again
through many writings but within The Organic Mind Michael
Morel is able to put the pieces together, making sense and
providing information that one can relate to and recall as required.
How often have we imagined a world where negative words
have been eliminated and the void spaces filled with positive.
Michael Morel address's just this possibility in chapter 1 page 35.
Although this may seem impossible Michael looks at how, over three
generations, we could achieve just this. The process he proposes is
that of common sense and one that is right in front of our noses. It
starts in our education system and our religion.
“ Retain that which is of benefit and delete that
which is detrimental,” writes Michael Morel.
“Children must be educated to use the Organic Mind.
We're taught to think in our native language, and to speak with that
same language, not realising that choice of words is of particular
importance to the young and fertile mind...............If we're
taught to use the Traditional Mind only, there comes a time when we
cannot think in any other way.”
The Organic Mind talks of the seeds ( ideas) of
our mind being like that of a plant. When planted within our mind
some may take a few weeks to germinate before coming to a point where
they can be harvested, where others may take years. Michael speaks
of the seeds we plant knowing what to do and how to grow and bear
fruit. It is what we label reality, that stops an idea growing, this
being doubt, impatience, fear or lack of faith. Michael suggests that
the Organic Mind knows exactly what to do and has provided the
perfect plan for you, the individual. All one has to do is follow it
without interference of thought. This is what Michael calls being on
autopilot and what those who use the Traditional Mind may call being
irrational, carefree and irresponsible.
I loved Michael Morels way of looking at life and our
journey on earth. There was never a time I felt I could not achieve
the Organic Mind and was halfway there by the end of the book. I
wrote this review around a month after reading the book and found the
journey of rereading and skimming the pages a refreshing reminder of
where I go wrong on days I struggle to push the Traditional Mind to
the back bench. The Organic Mind provides information that
changes the lives of your whole family. By embracing your own Organic
Mind your interactions with loved ones and society as a whole leaves
a positive experience. We are able to pay our mind thoughts forward
to others who in return will pass it on.
With The Organic Mind by Michael Morel on my
bookshelf I am positive that I will continue to travel forward with
my quest to reach this state of mind. The Organic Mind is more
than just a book, it is a resource that you will come back to time
and time again. Within is the ticket to a life of less stress, worry
and doubt. A life that has you enjoying who you are, those around you
and the journey you are taking.
To quote Michael Morel “ The bow is the mind and words
are the answers, and just as arrows can wound and destroy, so too can
words” Through The Organic Mind I have been empowered to
use my natural state of mind, my Organic Mind, and destroy those
arrows for good.
“ The
greatest gift a young person can receive today is not a new
computer, mobile or car, but the gift of confidence and the
information required to allow them to be totally self-responsible.
Children today appear to grow up more quickly than when I was a child
in the 1930s, and yet and emotion, a thought or an action is the same
as it has ever been.” ~ Michael Morel.
