Mind Is A Parachute That Work When It Is Open

A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open. — Benjamin E. Mays

Mays Read the words above aloud. The mind being like a parachute, and words being like parachutes, they don’t work if they are not open. One or the other needs to work well, and if either one does not work well, neither one works. You must make sure your mind is open so you can be prepared for whatever life hands you.

What makes a conscious mind?

In order to make a conscious mind, you have to establish a relationship with yourself. You must create in yourself a sense of peace, and not let your inner self get hurt. As you let yourself heal, your mind will also heal. Without healing, there will be no sense of peace, and no relationship with the world, and no sense of peace with the universe. All these are needed to make a conscious mind. You have to go through the process of healing first.

A man is like a watchman standing at the gate of his house during the night.

The robber arrives one night, and makes a lot of noise so the watchman wakes up.

The watchman looks out the window, and sees that it’s just a robber, but it’s dark outside and he doesn’t know what to do.

The watchman runs into the kitchen to get a knife, then back to the window, and with a loud voice says, “this is no burglar, this is a robber!”

Then the robber says, “don’t hurt me.”
