In a land which is fertile, farmers will regularly sow the seeds to grow their crops. Our human minds are the same as the fertile land. In this case, the seeds we sown in our mind are thoughts, ideas or views. When a seed is sown, it grows fast, and most of the time, this is often the seed of fear.
Maria Duval says that the words that we speak and utter have a really big influence the way we think and behave.
Fear and doubt sown in our mind can create a dramatic succession of events. You just have to look around you to see how someone can become "blocked" by a simple word or phrase and everything they try to say after that is pointless and just makes things worse.
This word or phrase can have significant consequences; spoken at a sensitive point, it can make someone do something or think something that conditions the whole of the rest of their life. We are actually all magicians. With our words we can cast spell on oters, or equally release them.

Mind Reading
People often have this fantasy of reading one's mind as a kind of supernatural power
they would like to have. How nice it would be, wouldn't it?
Maria Duval explains in her booklet that it is not an impossible task as she says scientists have already proven this is possible as we are detect mind frequencies naturally through "mirror neurons" to anticipate what a person would do next after he or she does a certain gesture or action.
For instance, if the baby reaches out for a feeding bottle, the person seeing it would automatically deduce that the baby would bring the bottle to his or her mouth and drink the milk from it. So, in effect, the neurons simulate anticipated action and consequently read minds.
Therefore you should realise that humans as more intelligent beings have some forms of mind reading capability.
Maria Duval further explains that to read someone's mind fairly accurately, you should pay extra attention not only to the eyes, but to the overall facial expression, body language, spoken words, tone of the voice or manner of speaking. These are loopholes that are open naturally for outsiders to decipher someone's state of mind and emotions.
Of course, through constant practice and meditation, you can get better as frequencies emitted could be very feeble for you to detect.

Maria Duval - Clearing Your Mind
Maria Duval asks, what is the mind? She says the mind is everything connected to your intellectual faculties and psychological functions. To experience the power of knowledge, we have to "clear our minds".
What does this knowledge refer to? It is the knowledge of yourself, which means discovering your real personality, your true "self", the self that lies beneath the veneer of educational, cultural and social conditioning.
Maria Duval assures that this "authentic personality" is well worth discovering. Greek master Socrates said:
"Know yourself through yourself!"
In other words, "clearing your mind" means clearing your head of all its "mental chatter", its "internal dialog", to see what is really inside.
The true "Self" is part of the individual which is governed by instinct, the part that tends to remain hidden, appearing rarely or never at all. It is a part of the individual that belongs to their life history, their own particulars and entirely personal experience of the life cycle - birth, childhood, puberty, maturity and death.

The Judge and the Accused in our Minds
I think we are complex living things. Our minds are unfathomable. Maria Duval compares our minds to being a Judge and an Accused. Let me explain more about this interesting comparison.
One a side of our mind, there is a part of it that judges and deduces, from trivial issues like weather, neighbour affairs, office affairs to heavier issues like world politics. So how does this Judge judge? Inside everyone of us, in the mind, we have a Book of Law that is cross referenced by our inner Judges everyday; everything you think or do not think, everything you feel or do not feel.
We are basically under the mercy of this Judge who will deduce you are guilty and must be punished and made you feel ashamed. This goes on for as long as your whole lifespan.
On the contrary but going on in parallel, there is another portion of your mind which Maria Duval compares to as a "victim" or "accused". There are at the receiving end of the sentences passed down by the Judge. This is the part that suffers the rebuke, the guilt and the shame. This is part of you that says: "Poor me, I am not good enough, not intelligent enough, not talented enough, I do not deserve to be loved, I am not good enough to deserved this, etc...."
So why is there a dual system in us?
No matter what culture or ethnic race you belong to, there are always a set of to-dos and not-to-dos passed down from generation to next generation. The beliefs are so strong that even years later, when we discover new ideas and try to make our own decisions, we realise just how they influence our life. Adults say we should not go against these beliefs for they are sacred to the well-being of the family, or fear will set in and bad lucks will befall. Contravening them means you are "emotionally poisoned", thus feeling more sense of insecurity in your life. It's influence is so strong that even when we understand, in principle, that these beliefs are not true, we still feel guilt and shame and criticism every time we break a rule.
Maria Duval however states that to change your life, there is a need to adjust this dual system in us because she says that 95% of the time the beliefs etched in our mind are lies, and we are perennially under the spell of these deep-rooted lies.
Unfortunately, this is not something that is easily changed, because our life is always governed by fear and nobody is free from it, not even the powerful men around are free from fear, anger, emotions and struggles. It's the same state of fear one experiences thousands of years ago and it will also be the same two thousand years in the future.

Can Chaos Lead To Success?
Worry, frustration, confusion, sleeplessness and fear are all components of the chaotic mind, making just one simple goal difficult to achieve and hindering success. There is no success in a mind of chaos. You need to attain peace and calmness in your mind in order to encourage positive thoughts.
Normally one finds it very difficult to manage and control the mind. Sometimes, you may feel that the mind is similar to a balloon, blown by the wind, taken to any direction and circumstance the wind takes it. When things come out well, the mind is contented, but when things go badly, instantly the mind becomes very unhappy.
Because the mind and your emotions are connected, a disturbance in one will distract the coordination and harmony of the two. For instance, when you get the result or the relationship that you wants, such as a partner, a job promotion or a new car, you bond to it very tightly. However, because often, these possessions and relationships are uncontrollable, the moment that you are separated from all these causes so much pain. And all the negative emotions cause chaos.
Such mood fluctuations arise for the main reason that one is closely attached with the outside situation. However, when the mind is relaxed, one makes an inner room and clearness which enables one to control and manage the mind despite the external situation.
Gradually one develops mental balance, which is a state of the mind that is happy and positive always; confused mind moves back and forth between the intemperance of despondency and excitement.
In meditation, one can achieve a peaceful and calm mind that is free of worries and anxiety, so one can experience happiness, encouraging and attracting positive behavior; a chaotic mind, only attracts negative feelings and behavior, therefore it is a barrier to setting and achieving goals.
With a chaotic mind one will have a hard time experiencing happiness, even when one is already in the best of circumstances. Constant meditation trains the mind to gradually be more and more
cheerful and peaceful, eventually experience balance and happiness, being able to stay positive even in the most complicated or worst situations. This is a state of mind that is very crucial to achieving success.
The mind is like a station, sending out energy or power signals (your beliefs and thoughts). These energy and power patterns are then grasped by the subconscious mind that is responsible for creating the circumstances, situations and events to assist one in achieving what one’s beliefs, thoughts and goals are.
The subconscious mind never distinguishes what is bad or good for you; it only acts on what instructions it receives from the conscious mind, meaning what your thoughts and beliefs are.
So while there is that desire in you that you want to accomplish a certain goal, if you do not truly believe and truly trust that will be able to, if you, with your chaotic mind constantly think about the reason why you can not achieve something rather than why it will be easy for you to do it, then you will be sending instruction to your “subconscious mind” to establish certain circumstances in which it will be difficult for you to accomplish your goals.
This is the reason why negative thoughts should be eliminated and only entertain positive thoughts, all the time.Constant positive affirmations likewise attract positive situations, and influence the subconscious to create a situation favorable to you. Affirmations are positive thoughts spoken with great trust, faith and absolute power that what you say, you will accomplish.
Remember, first and foremost to keep a focused mind and never entertain negative thoughts. However, should a negative thought enter your mind, block it off with positive thinking and never, never affirm it. For like the chaotic mind, verbal affirmations can greatly affect your attitude towards accomplishing your goals.Never be a prisoner of the chaos in your mind. Release all those hurts, frustration and anger that you feel deep inside. Look at the world in a different point of view and believe that you can accomplish anything as long as you have faith in you that you can.
There is no success in chaos, and chaos will not lead to success. It is balancing the mind, releasing all stress that the mind feels, letting go of all negative thoughts and making a clear image of the life that you want to live, can there be success.

Maria Duval - Mind, Body and Soul
Maria Duval says this is a world of dualities. Spiritually we are linked but physically we are apart. The point is, these are parts and parcels of us as a living entity and by knowing this, we can work on our spiritual growth.
As mentioned, we are a three layered being that consists of body, soul and mind. The gist is that we have to know who we are in this ultimate totality and this helps to understand the true nature of how things work. The "soul" part is the metaphysical aspect of us that binds us physically, while the "body" part directly means our physical presence.
There is another branch out from our physical body known as "aura" Have you heard that before? Aura refers to an invisible layer of energy that is hidden from common eyes but can be seen by some psychics or clairvoyants. Scientifically, auras can even be captured using a camera lens! Maria Duval explains that our bodies are actually enclosed in this "aura" and not the other way round. This layer of aura is metaphyically and spiritually connected from one to another and so on.... This means we are ALL ONE.
Often we think that dualities we are a two section being of mind and body. The truth is that we are using the brain, which is a physical part of the body, to interpret the incoming data from our physical and nonphysical senses. The mind is not the brain. The brain is part of our physical self and our control centre.
Maria Duval thinks we are limited by the words and languages. For example, when we speak of the mind we usually link it to our brains. This is incorrect. The truth is that the mind we believe to be our own is merely a part of the "universal mind" that is part of all things and it is the mind of God. Once again, we are vibrating at a unique frequency that allows us to retain and draw to us that part of the universal mind that we know of as our memories and our knowledge. The memories and the knowledge that we claim to possess are all part of the bigger field of memories and knowledge that makes up the totality of the universal mind.
I think it is very profound to explain this duality concept. This is the best I can write something on it.

Maria Duval - our thought patterns
Our minds are funny. Sometimes we can be oddly positive but most of the times we are at the opposite. For example, an ambitious person always tells himself "I am going to make a name for myself with the talent I have", then the subconscious of that person registers this ambition and reinforces it in his mind if the belief and passion are strong enough to move the odds. Similarly, when a contented person who works for the state will think that he has a good life and has got what he needs to live comfortably. Then his subconscious will "draw" that and when that happens over the time, the fire and passion inside him to live an extraordinary life will fizzle.
Maria Duval asks, don't you think this is the same in any and every field, from love, money, health, luck, work to even sports? And it strongly corresponds to a spiritual truth which can be summed up as follws: "everything is ready for harvesting if the mind is prepared."
So, I reiterate what's so special about this thought concept. If I think I am going to be a popular person and reinforces with determination, my subconscious will produce the astral forms required for the realisation of my wish. And if I think I am going to earn a lot of money to buy a dream house, my subconscious is going to build up its "astral forces" and propel me forward to achieve my dream.
Maria Duval says it will then attract like a powerful magnet, the events and people that will make it possible. Apparently, this creative thought operates in both ends, for the best and also for the worst.
Hence there is a real need to control one's own thoughts which are mainly negative in nature and causing more harms than harmony. People fear and worry a lot of things and as a result, give rise to many complications and unsavoury events.

Maria Duval - powering your mind
Clairvoyant Maria Duval states that there is a need to accept and make the most of the present. You must strive to make it as great as possible of every immediate task, purely for the satisfaction of a job well done.
Little by little, your scope will increase, and so you will climb another rung, and then a series of rungs, developing your personality as you go, which will give you more power. Your future is therefore built on the present.
Maria Duval also says your power depends on how you use your mind. Your ideas can only be based on your inner substance. What you are inside governs your relationship with the world and the people around you, and determines your success, or, failure.
When you have grasped these general ideas, you may feel inclined to enrich yourself and deepen your knowledge of some subject you may be particularly interested in.
Unless you just want to relax, Maria Duval also suggests reading good books that give you something that improves your mind.
Learn to read quickly, underlining the main passages that set out and explain the authors ideas. When you have finished reading, jot down these ideas in a few lines. Review your notes from time to time, and you will gradually build yourself a store of very useful reference material.
5.2.08
Align your emotions, mind and your objectives to achieve what you want
Clairvoyant Maria Duval states what set us humans apart from the rest of the living things here at this planet is we are able to express a wide range of EMOTIONS and the emotions we have is the main driving force behind the progression of our society. We show emotions when we are not able to get things done faster or more efficiently. We show displeasure, hence we think of ideas to overcome such obstacles.
However, while emotions are generally making us more colourful, too much of it must be carefully contained and wisely chanelled, advises Maria Duval. Volatile emotions are not efficient spiritually as such people tend to be overwhelmed by their capricious mood swings, hence there is a lot of precious body energies wasted and getting drained.
Clairvoyant Maria Duval confirms that people who have mastered containment of their emotions have a powerful personality, clear cut ideas and able to make good decisions. They are the real "go getters" and have high chances of success in things that they do.
Psychic Maria Duval says our emotion is profound and subtle and this is something beyond words and reasons. It makes you go into actions which can be either positive and negative. So the main gist of what I'm trying to say is if we can align our emotions together with the power of the mind and focus them on a single objective, we can reach that objective like a magnet being attracted to a piece of iron.
So do your best to harness it. It's your heavenly gift!

Our mind is the power that controls the money
Psychic Maria Duval has said many times that Money is one of the most powerful and mysterious symbols or energy in the world. Money is often the most anonymous; it is difficult, if not impossible to identify it. Our greatest desire is to attract it to us and then use it to make our lives better. Sometimes money can "betray" us; it allows us to acquire goods or do things that turn out to be the source of problems instead of all the good things we are expecting.
Maria Duval adds that money is a powerful force that either save or kill us, destroy our hopes and our families, or on the contrary, it can allow us to blossom in prosperity. It is really magic because with it we can do anything, or almost!
It is imperative to understand that money is neutral. The only thing that matters is your state of mind when you use it. Basically, money is whatever you want it to be and show be treated as such as what Maria Duval says.
As far as its symbolism is concerned, it represents the price we have on the objects. It is our own minds that give it its true nature. Money itself represents nothing until we give it its meaning. Our mind, our wishes, make it good or bad, depending on the circumstances and opportunities.
Psychic Maria Duval points out that sometimes money does not bring us what we are expecting, our control over it is only relative. We never know exactly what it holds in store for us, so we have to put in a lot of thoughts and care into "programming" how we are going to use it.
Finally we all most understand one important point, that is, our mind is a tool that has the power to make money work for us when and how you want. Without our mind, money is just a chunk of worthless papers.

Everything is ready if the mind is ready
Psychic Maria Duval states that everything is ready is the mind is ready.
If you think, "I'll definitely complete my project on time", then your subconscious will produce the astral forms necessary for the realisation of your wish. If you think I'm going to have enough money to buy myself a car", your subconscious will produce the circumstances auspicious for the successful implementation of your belief.
It will attract like a magnet, the events and people that will make it possible. Hitherto unknown opportunities will not fail to turn up; the resources enabling your wish to be granted will appear.
It is quite obvious that this creative force of thought operates in both directions: for the best and the worst.
Hence the need to control one's thoughts. Unfortunately far too many people use thought in a very harmful way; their fears, terrors and worries often give rise to complications and unfavourable events.
25.8.07
Prepare the Mind
Psychic Maria Duval suggests it is desirable to prepare the mind so that the magic actions she taught can achieve maximum effectiveness.
As we all know by now, thought is at the centre of everything.
It is of extreme importance because it lies at the origin of all creation, and every event. Be careful of what you think, take care of each thought. Thought is precious, its value is inestimable. Your success, in whatever field you are in, is intimately linked to the "quality" of your thought.
Without your thought, Maria Duval says, nothing is impossible, nothing exists, nothing is done. The statement is no doubt very commonplace, very simple, so simple that you perhaps find it difficult to believe.
To be continued..

Our minds
It certainly feels awesome when you know your brain is a creation of the highest order. It has been known that we utilize not more than 10% of its amazing capacity. It has immense power and it is also said that top psychics like Maria Duval has been using this power to influence good things to happen to them on a day to day basis.
From what I understand, most psychics believe in the theory that each human being is borne with a fixed pattern that roughly translates directly to how your life will be. This pattern is like a blueprint of your life. You will either bring good or bad things in your life. It's a very basic fact that everyone needs to acknowledge.
Well, this is easier said than done. Look back at your life and ponder how many times have you failed to achieve the promise of changing for the better through those yearly resolutions?
