Could you be hypnotized? Should you keep your mind open, or closed? No question is more important. Be sure you understand. You NEED to think about this. There are things you need to know about your mind.

      Various reports came out of Russia about what happened to the captured American U-2 pilot, Francis G. Powers, in 1960. One feature story in a London newspaper reported that Mr. Powers had been brainwashed.

      The report described the process. He had been kept in solitary confinement for weeks, allowed to see no human being except one “examiner.” The lights in his small cell were kept extra-ordinarily bright day and night. At first, he was denied food. He was sharply questioned.

      When his answers were not what the examiner wanted, he was beaten severely. Then he was left absolutely alone for days. Then, gradually, as he began to be willing to give the answers the examiner wanted, he was given a little food.

      Finally, he was brought around to actually believe he had committed a terrible wrong against Russia—that Russia was in the right. By the time of his show-case “trial,” which was a farce for purposes of world-wide propaganda, Powers had become docile, completely co-operative. He said before the world precisely what the Russians wanted said.

Everything Else Worthless Without it!

Could the Russians brainwash you? Don’t be too sure! You need to know the TRUTH about your mind!

We are told that we should keep an open mind. Yet it was the very fact that Mr. Powers opened his mind, that allowed the Russians to inject psycho-logical poison into it. Not only that. They probably warped and ruined his mind for life! Should we, then, keep our minds closed? This is a question you need to understand. Very few do!

What would anything be worth to you, without your mind? Your mind is your most precious possession! Suppose that on the outside of your head you had beautiful hair, ears, nose, mouth, eyes—but no mind on the inside! Suppose you had a neck, shoulders, arms, torso, legs and feet—but no head—no brains—no mind!

Suppose you owned vast possessions, and had a hundred million in the bank—but no mind! WOULD ANYTHING BE WORTH ANYTHING TO YOU?

Our Minds Are FED

Yet    most    people    have    little    or    no conception of the IMPORTANCE of the mind. And most people—psychologists and psychiatrists included—do not understand the mind! They are in ignorance of the reason Yahweh created it. They do not understand the true PURPOSE of the mind, or how properly to possess and use it!

Being in total ignorance of Yahweh’s purposes, right uses, and the potential destiny of humans, a new “profession” has sprung up in the world—based on human reasoning in ignorance— called psychiatry. These people pose as mind doctors. They pretend to cure neuroses, and bring patients “peace of mind.” This misguided profession was started, in its modern form, by Sigmund Freud and the school of contemporary psycho-analyst led by, Alexander Rado and their ilk. The world accepts them and dignifies them with the title “doctor.” Yet none needs his mind examined so much as these supposed mind doctors!

Colleges and universities teach courses in Psychology. Yet the authors of their textbooks, and the professors who teach it, are in ignorance of the real TRUTH about the human mind — its PURPOSE, and proper use.

Few realize that our minds, like our stomachs, need to be fed! And, in school, they get fed! But they get fed a diet of error mixed with truth. They still are eating away at that same tree of KNOWLEDGE of “good and evil” our first human mother partook of and fed to our first human father, Adam. They are fed a diet of mental poison mixed with material truth, but devoid of spiritual knowledge.

If you put in your stomach a mixture of health-giving wheat and vegetables, mixed with an equal portion of potassium cyanide, it will kill you in a few moments. If you eat a mixture of good food and excessive starch, sugar, fat, and unclean meats—as nearly everyone does—you are committing suicide on the installment plan. This diet will slowly poison your system, produce numerous diseases, and kill you in ten to sixty years.

And if you allow your mind to be fed on the usual diet of truth mixed with error, your mind is being slowly drugged, and it will perish, along with your body—in a final Lake of Fire!

Our bodies require food composed of a proper balance between the alkaline and the carbohydrate elements. But we leave out, take out, or cook out, most of the alkaline elements and consume an overdose of the carbohydrates, which produce most of our diseases, including colds and fevers, rheumatism, hay fever, diabetes, cancer and heart troubles.

And in our mental diet we imbibe an overdose of materialistic knowledge almost to the exclusion of the spiritual; and even in materialistic teaching our schools mix exact and factual knowledge with erroneous hypotheses, speculations and errors based on human conjecture, reasoning and ignorance. Truly, we are in the age of fake news and mind control.

“Not All There!”

We ridicule supposed fools or the mentally deficient, saying they are “not all there.” The fact is, most of those who teach us what we take into our minds in school and college, are most assuredly “not all there.” The fact is, we were all born only “half there!”

I have said so many times that we were all born incomplete! We were born of the flesh—and we are flesh. Yahweh formed man, not out of spirit, but “of the dust of the ground”–of the earth —earthy (1st Cor 15:48-49).

We were made to need FOOD to live. But, as Yahshua Messiah said, man was made to live, not by bread alone, but by every Word of Yahweh—that is, not merely by material food, but by the spiritual food we receive from the Holy Bible!

But man has cut himself off from Yahweh! There is an absolute, impenetrable BARRIER between natural, carnal minded man and Yahweh. Man can receive spiritual food only from Yahweh! And remember—you do not receive spiritual food into the stomach, but into the mind!

And so it is not the body, but the MIND that “is not all there”-that is born incomplete! And when I say that Yahweh did not create Adam complete—that the creation of Genesis chapter one describes only the material creation, I am referring to the deficiency of MIND, primarily.

True, our bodies, being material, now last only an average of some 75 years for adults. True, if we are converted, and to be given ETERNAL LIFE, even our vile, corruptible bodies are to be changed from matter to spirit instantaneously, at the time of the resurrection.

But it is the MIND, not the body, which can receive the spiritual food during this life— and must be fed Yahweh’s true spiritual diet IF the body is to be changed.

What Adam and Eve rejected, in the Garden in Eden, was the fruit of the tree symbolizing Yahweh’s HOLY SPIRIT!

It is man’s MIND that is incomplete—not “all there”–for this life. His MIND was made to need Yahweh’s HOLY SPIRIT. Yahweh’s Spirit being received into our minds is the impregnation of the very YAHWEH-LIFE, begetting us as Yahweh’s children. It adds the SPIRITUAL or DIVINE content to the material content of our minds. It introduces into our minds a totally new attitude, means of mental approach, viewpoint, concept, capacity of comprehension.

The natural carnal MIND has no capacity whatsoever for comprehension of SPIRITUAL TRUTHS. The unconverted, naturally born carnal mind therefore, cannot understand the BIBLE! A natural mind may grasp a few of the materialistic portions of the Bible—and it contains material as well as spiritual knowledge, in properly balanced proportion—but no carnal mind can comprehend and truly UNDERSTAND the spiritual revelations of Yahweh’s Word!

1st Cor 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of a man within him? So also no one has known the things of YAHWEH except the Spirit of YAHWEH.

1st Cor 2:12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from YAHWEH, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by YAHWEH.

1st Cor 2:13 For the things which we discuss, are not dependent on the knowledge of words and man’s wisdom, but on the teaching of the Holy Spirit, thus explaining spiritual things with the spiritual minded.

1st Cor 2:14 But the material man rejects the things of the Spirit of YAHWEH, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Yes, Actually CRAZY!

Without this BASIC revelation of spiritual TRUTH, no system of knowledge can be complete. The SPIRITUAL revelation is the foundational knowledge. It is what we need first, not last! The knowledge of what we are, why we are—that is, the PURPOSE of life—our potential DESTINY, the spiritual LAWS OF LIFE—the WAY to peace, happiness, prosperity and everything good—this is FOUNDATIONAL knowledge. None of this world’s leaders possess it. The knowledge man is equipped to discover and acquire by his own processes—the knowledge receivable through the eyes, ears, sense of feel, smell and taste—may be added to this foundation.

Then, human REASONING, coming from a Spirit-led mind, BASED ON THIS TRUE FOUNDATIONAL   KNOWLEDGE, leads to correct and truthful conclusions.

But man, CUT OFF from this foundation on which to build—in ignorance of the very factual BASIS for his reasoning and speculating, has arrived at erroneous conclusions. And these false conclusions formulate a very large portion of the organized knowledge—the store of knowledge in this world’s libraries, and in the text books used in this world’s education. And day by day our children are brainwashed and indoctrinated by these false perceptions and false knowledge being taught in most academic circles.

The true FACT is, this world’s psychiatrists are themselves actually and literally CRAZY—if you understand the true meaning of the word!

Two of these quack psychiatrists, to my personal knowledge, testified in court that a woman was insane, and needed to be committed, for no reason other than that she studied the Holy Bible to learn how to live and how to rear her children! Had this woman not been represented at the trial by an alert attorney, she would have been committed to an institution, deprived of her freedom—her children torn from their loving Christian mother and made wards of a cold, heartless court! But actually, and literally, it was these self-professed mind doctors who were insane. Their minds simply were not “all there.”

They were in ignorance of foundational, basic TRUTH. Their reasoning was based on false hypotheses, assumed and carelessly taken for granted. They based reasoning on error. Yet they merely had swallowed unquestioned, what certain text books fed them, authored by other misguided and ignorant men!

Actually, the carnal, unconverted mind— containing its physical content only, devoid of the spiritual, knowing only what PHYSICAL knowledge can be received through the five senses—is a mind bound to go off into false and erroneous ramifications of ideas, suppositions, hypotheses, speculations, and believe a ridiculous and weird system of myths!

Yahweh’s Holy Spirit is the Spirit of a SOUND MIND (2nd Tim 1:7)—and no mind, without the Holy Spirit, can be SOUND in its thinking and reasoning. Perhaps the old Quaker, after all, was right. He said to his wife: “Martha, does thee know, the longer I live the more it seems to me that just about everybody, except me and thee, is a little odd; and does thee know, Martha, sometimes it even seems to me that even THEE is just a little bit odd!”

Guard the Door of Your Mind

You need, above all things, to guard the door of your mind! HAVE A CARE what enters there! You, and you alone, have the stern responsibility for guarding that precious door!

Should you, then, have an OPEN mind? Or, to prevent being brainwashed or hypnotized, should you keep your mind CLOSED? The answer: GUARD THE DOOR OF YOU MIND!

Keep, without prejudice, a questioning mind. I do not mean a negative mind, hostile and against everything. Yahweh’s Word commands us to “PROVE ALL THINGS.” You can question, before accepting and believing, without negative prejudice. OPEN your mind to what is proved TRUTH; RID your mind of bias. Do as the Bereans were commended for doing. When the Apostle Paul came to Berea, they did not know whether he was an apostle of Yahweh or a false prophet.

So, they opened the door of their minds, without hostile prejudice which would be only a barrier to the entrance of TRUTH into the mind— but yet with QUESTIONING minds—they opened the door just far enough to listen, to examine, and to prove, before accepting. They searched the SCRIPTURES daily, whether these things were so. Finding them proved, they ACCEPTED the TRUTH!

The answer is, that your mind should never be prejudiced. Neither should it be gullible.

NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED what you read, or what you hear. Never accept anything just because others do.

And in this evil age that we live in where Satan, the prince of the power of the airways can indoctrinate your mind literally 24 hours a day through the Internet, smart phones, TV, and every form of social media, we need to be guarding our mind and abstaining from such worldly influences. And even subliminal messages can be transported to your mind online!

Could you be HYPNOTIZED? Many people can. I have seen it done. Today, many people are going insane and killing other people and themselves because they allowed Satan an in to hypnotize them through drugs, bad music, social media, and other brain altering methods of addiction.

Addiction is a form of hypnosis, and even being addicted to certain bad foods can cause your mind to be brainwashed.

White sugar suppresses the immune system and is highly addictive and if overloaded with it, it will cause brain fog and with time can damage your body and mind.

Yahweh made your mind so that NO ONE can “cram his thoughts down your throat—or rather, into your mind. Yahweh, also, won’t, by force, put TRUTH into your mind.   Unless you are willing, and voluntarily accept it, you can never receive Yahweh’s TRUTH. Conversely, even Satan the Devil has no power to force error into your mind. You have to give him permission by willingly using the devices that he has maintained to control someone’s mind.

YOU ARE A FREE MORAL AGENT! Yahweh granted you this freedom! And, with it, the stern responsibility for what you accept, believe, and DO!

As you sow, so shall you reap! We must stay on the narrow path, and reject all forms of worldliness that will pervert and corrupt our minds. We must constantly be guarding our minds and only be focusing on Yahweh’s Word and Kingdom. Truly, we must be taking every thought into captivity into the obedience of Messiah (2nd Cor 10:5).
