The expression mind over matter<\/strong> was popularized during the 1960\u2019s and 70\u2019s, but then so was the phrase peace and love<\/strong>, however their references were myopic. Peace and love meant no war and sex. Mind over matter is used to indicate the human mind over physical matter. But these phrases were not practical, we now know, sex is not love and the human mind is categorically blinkered.<\/p>\n

As with anything \u201cpopular\u201d we need to assess calmly the bigger picture.

Divine Mind-practice requires human mind to yield to the divine consciousness, to unite with the spiritual thought moving heavenward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
