Our Skillful Skulls

It’s rather hard to imagine our lives without our

minds, for I seriously doubt we could imagine anything. We

would probably resemble all those mindless creepy creatures

in us we need to nourish everyday; but since we realize we

need them to exist, we shouldn’t mind.

However, I still don’t mind saying that a mind without

an imagination will always remain a creepy thing...for

without our imagination, we wouldn’t know what to do with

the knowledge in our minds. Our minds and imaginations, when

co-operating, make a very highly efficient and exceptional

team – we blazon forth with an assortment of splendid,

flashy, and magnificent speculative notions. Without them,

we would never be capable of relishing the delight of a

stroll in a warm summer rain, relaxing on a mesa or the

desert contemplating a beautiful sunset, snoring in a forest

under the stars, watching the clouds roll by, noticing your

tire is flat, nor any of the other wonders of life – and we

surely couldn’t imagine what the hell this is all about.

If we consumed more of our time exercising our minds

and imaginations, there’s no imagining what we could imagine

to accomplish with them. We could practice by imagining that

politicians were honest, we won the lottery, the IRS sends

us a refund instead of an audit notice, or that our blind

date is perfect. But just imagine if we had the imagination

of a child. When a child is playing with an imaginary

friend, we imagine the child’s friend is imaginary – but in

the child’s mind, his imaginary friend is not imaginary,

it’s real! It’s real because we live our lives in our minds.

Our biological mind is an ultra-elaborate, and

magnificent conglomeration of genetic engineering. It

embodies all types of neat stuff – nerve cells, synapses,

glia, neurotransmitters, cortex, occipital lobe, thalamus,

hippo campus, amygdala, and all enclosed by the cerebral

cortex – of course; it has an abundance of other compact and

tidy systems. It goes about its duty 24 hours a day,

everyday, for every second of our lives. As with our other

parts, it needs to be exercised. And how do we do that? This

is the really great part – it’s easy!

We learn! It’s like a sponge; it has all this

tremendous capacity and monstrous capabilities. It wants to

soak up knowledge constantly, and show off what it can do.

We need to read, play, write, word puzzles, figures, walk,

run, think, tell good jokes, see, hear, taste, smell touch,

be aware, eat healthy food, increase our morals, observe,

learn new skills, talk, sing, orate, instruct, make

decisions, and as you know, we could go on for months.

Another amazing aspect of our mind is when we relax and

read, write (or whatever), and concentrate on what we are

doing. The mind engages our imagination automatically –and

when they work in tandem, we not only absorb and retain more

data, we become more creative...for the imagination and mind

search all the information in our data banks, and play with

it. So, as we can see, the more data in our storage vault,

the more creative we can be. Using deductive logic; the more

we learn, the more creative we are, the more opportunities

we will have, the more money we could earn, the better our

attitude, the more interesting we are to be with and

converse with, the more capable we will be to help others –

plus, it will be easier to relax due to less stress, all of

which translates into more happiness...imagine that!

A magical mind (achieved through study), strengthened

with an immense imagination (achieved through regular

practice) plugged into a faultless faith (achieved through

relaxing and doing what we should), and all operating in

conjunction with a clean character (achieved by having

morals and principles), and encased in a single anatomy

(already achieved), is a combination that absolutely knows

no boundaries. Percentage- wise, every one of us cannot, or

ever will be, labeled as such a single living

organism...yet; just imagine what wonderful deeds we could

accomplish for ourselves and others, if we just tried to

attain that worthy goal. All we have to do is establish a,

well, goal – and go!
