How to use your creative mental faculties and take control over your life
You have Magic in your Mind
What are creative mental faculties? Many people do not know about the gift we have to use for our life.
Your creative mental faculties are mental tools you can use to improve your life and even help to change the world.
We all have our intuitive mind with its 6 mental faculties.
Albert Einstein :
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
The sacred gift is the 6 creative mental faculties
Reason,
Imagination,
Memory,
Will,
Intuition.
Perception
With our reasoning mind, we can think, and as we all heard, all the great teachers and leaders since ancient times agreed: “We are what we think.”
Still, do we use these creative mental faculties of our intuitive minds?
Most people are conditioned to live with the rational mind and the sensory factors, only
smell, taste, hear, see, and touch. This is living from the outside in; we let it dictate
and condition us.
What we learn in school is not thinking. It is memorizing things.
However, there are even many things that are not true anymore, but we still believe them.
Most do not even question it because they do not use their creative mental faculties, which are not taught in school how to do this. Most teachers do not even know what mental faculties are. We believe what we are told not only in school but also from the media if we do not use our mental faculties and start to think. The law of thinking is a universal law
Most people do not really think. George B. Shaw said:
2 percent of people think, 3 percent think they think,
and 95 percent would rather die than think.
You have Magic in your Mind-Reason.
Using your intuitive mind and your creative mental faculties, you can start to have control over your life. Through the intuitive mind, you can connect to the source of creation, the universal mind. With the reasoning factor, you are able to choose your thoughts.
The power of the universal mind flows through us and is all around us, and if you are
consciously using this power with your reasoning mind, you are able to create your life
the way we want it to be.
This Quote I heard as a child, and it made me think it is freely translated:
No Ruler of this world can be ruler over your thoughts-. Johann Georg Hamann
Remembering, I did write it in my son’s poetry album when he was a kid and talking about it.
I hope he will always remember.
Nobody can control what you think in your conscious mind.
Victor Frankl, the holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, said:
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude
in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
You have Magic in your Mind – Imagination.
Your Imagination is the most powerful tool; with your imagination, you can create.
Everything is created twice, first in the mind before it becomes physical.
Whatever we use, whether it is a shoe, a chair, or a computer, it was first imagination, and somebody created the thing and made it physical.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited,
whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress,
giving birth to evolution.”Albert Einstein
“Imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.” Napoleon Hill
Creative Mental faculty- Perception
What about our perception, our point of view on things? Is it really ours, or is it what we are made to believe?
We often see things that are not real and think of fear; for example, the fear of something that may not happen, our perception of a situation may not be true.
If we change our perspective, things will change.
The good thing is we are able to change it if we use our mental faculties.
“If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change”.Wayne Dyer
Creative Mental Faculty- Memory
Another mental faculty we can improve is Memory. Memory is not what most of us learn; it is much more.
Our whole body is an accumulation of memory; every cell of our body has a memory. We have a genius in us.
You have an inherent genius in you, and you can connect with the genius within you and remember.
You can train your memory like you can train your muscles.
Creative Mental Faculty- Will
And finally, we have the will. You can use your will to focus on what you want and hold your vision.
You can use your will to learn to use your mental faculties and change your life. The will is what makes
you move forward after you make a decision and keeps you going and focused.
If you want to tap into the deep spiritual essence of yourself, your inherited inner genius, or if you are interested and want to learn how to use your mental faculties, I would like to recommend a program which is called Into Your Genius.

Hi, Erika.
How are you doing today? Hope you’re doing great.
Honestly, I never know anything related to what you mentioned.
Thanks for sharing it here, and this post educated me lots.
Hi Kimsea,
I am fine 🙂
It is always good to learn something new.
Knowing about this things can help a lot in life.
It is always good to know how our mind works and
we can take control over our life.
Let me know if you have question .
Thanks for your visit
Erika
Hi Erika mam, Great post mind is the main thing in human body which make us feel pain happiness etc. Whatever we do mind plays an important rule in it, to think, create, remember etc. Thanks for sharing
Hi Sazia,
you are right our mind plays an important role in our life.
If we are able to know and use our mental faculties it can
get easier to navigate through life. Everything depends on
the way we think.
Thank you for your comment and all the best for your new venture 🙂
Erika
Hey Erika,
Our mind is the key to solve every problem. If we use it properly then we can open the gates. I agree with you. There is a magic in our mind.
The only thing we need to do is to embrace its powers.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a great week.
~Ravi
You are right ,Ravi
there is magic in our mind if we know how to use it.
We need to really think and not only listen to mind chatter
which most people do. Using our reasoning faculty is the key
to really thinking. We really have all knowledge and possibilities
in us. This is why all ancient texts tell us go inside . We forgot
to use our intuition ,I say to it ,listen to our heart 🙂 We look
for solutions outside ,but we find the really right answers through
the inside ,our intuition the inner voice Karana Chitta has the
answers and with our imagination, we can create great things which
we can bring into reality by our will to do it.
Thank you for your comment

Hey Erika,
According to some authorities, Man’s mental faculties are, for the most part, dormant upon his entrance into the physical world, and, unless they are discovered, trained and developed, will likely remain in that dormant state, during Man’s lifetime. Alternatively, if any or all of these faculties are not developed, they are unconsciously applied at whatever level they may currently exist, with the user for the most part unaware of the possibility of obtaining better results than he or she may be getting at present.
Another interesting point about the working of the mental faculty of Perception is that it may be aptly considered to be relative, i.e., the perception formed is a direct result of how an individual so-to-say approaches the subject or object in question. Eventually, thanks for sharing your informative experience with us.
With best wishes,
Amar kumar
Hi, Amar ,nice to see you here.
You are right there are many authorities telling a lot of things and write books.
I am looking at the natural side of this.Sure a kid trapped in an apartment with not
a place and opportunity to play and explore will not develop these faculties easily and
in school it is not taught to use them ,it is only remembering of the repetition.
But we all are born with a creative Genius . Think of the kids who are able to go out into
nature and have experiences and adventures,need to think ,learn to use the imagination and intuition.
We often see how they improvise and invent things. In a natural environment, the faculties develop.
It is true even if we not use the mental faculties consciously they always are with us .
We have all we need in us,but in our time we live from the outside in .
No wonder if they are dormant . If they are not used , how does one realize he can have
different points of view and perception .
People like Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner,for example ,did see that if a child is
allowed to freely develop and not being molded, will be able to use this inner genius.
In all ancient texts and tradition is it told to go inside ,because there is memory,
imagination, and intuition ,which many are not able to use anymore to be able to reason
and build a perception.
Best wishes for you
Thanks for your comment

Hi Erika,
Hope you are well. I really enjoyed your post. I am so thankful to have woken up to this when I was young. But even though we know we can create any existence we want it can still be tricky at times. I particularly liked the quote “Everything that happens to you, first occurs in the mind.” – This is so true. whether this is a good thought or a bad thought we have complete control over how our life unfolds.
Thanks for a great post.
Beth 🙂
Yes ,Beth, we have the control over our mind if we are aware of this.
We are what we think.
Not everybody is aware and does use it to create. Many follow the crowd
and do what they are meant to do . Good if you are aware of this and create
your life the way you love it . All the best and thank you for your comment
Erika
Hi Erika,
Sandy’s quote is phenomenal. When you think it through you realize OUT THERE is just IN HERE. Or simply how you choose to perceive and create your world. I am doing my best to align energetically before I act but some nasty programming from childhood needs clearing, so I move forward with a usually high vibe and sometimes low, destructive vibe, being very human and fallible along the way. But I also rock it out much of the time too 😉 It’s re-creating the world regularly by choosing your perspective, your vibe and your overall energy to see things from abundance, from love and from a harmony with all that is. So far, pretty good in that department. But I love reading posts like these to re-align if my energy feels off a bit.
Thanks for sharing Erika!
Ryan
Hi Ryan ,
I found your comment in the spam ,good I saw it.
Nice to see you here.
You are right Sandy is amazing and made the experience by herself.She had all one would wish for, but something was missing.
She found it and is now giving and teaching her experience to others.
If we know our true self we can deal easily with the “out there” it does not have to affect us.
We all have the programming and even Bob Proctor said after 55 years of releasing paradigms ,he still
finds more. It is a neverending process . But once we are aware of who we are and what we are capable of
we are able to change our vibes and look at things from a different perspective.
There are also many useful tools we can use ,I saw you are using tapping ,this is something
very helpful . Getting in harmony with all that is ,you are right ,this is what makes our life enjoyable.
I am glad you liked the post .
Thank you for your comment
All the best
Erika
I was never encouraged to think for myself while at school and having to do so came as a shock when I started university. School was more a matter of learning “facts” by rote but I discovered that not all were strictly true, but accepted opinions.
I believe this has changed in schools to some extent these days, but perhaps not enough.
We tend to think of creativity in relation to the arts but there is so much more to it isn’t there? We can be creative in all areas.
Hi Sue,
what you experienced was what many others did too.
Many kids only learn and forget again . If we do
not really like what we are taught it will not go
deep and we get only conditioned . I do not think
it is better today. If we see the kids often have
no place to play and experience nature, to develop
imagination and intuition. Today even little kids
seem to be bored, this was unthinkable in the past.
You are right there is more to creativity than art,
we are the creators of our life and often not aware
that we can change it with our creativity.
Thank you ,Sue, for telling your experience
Erika
Hi Erika mam
Really enjoyed the post!
Its very true that mind plays the most important role in human body. It has the magic!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful insight!
Hi Sonal ,
Yes, the mind can do magic if we know how to use it .
Especially our mental faculties which we often forget.
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Hi Erika,
Thanks for the great share. If we train our mnds properly and in a postive way, it will help us to achieve great things in life. If we are not doing that properly, it may lead us to have more negative feelings and less motivation for anything that we want to do. A thought provoking post. Hoping to read more posts soon from you.
Best regards
Reji Stephenson
Hi, Reji ,
nice to see you here 🙂
You are right we can achieve great things if we are aware of our mental faculties
and use them . Some are not encouraged anymore ,like our intuition and imagination.
which are a beautiful gift and can help us to create a dream life .
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Erika, I learned some new things from your post. First, this quote:
George B. Shaw said: 2 percent of people think, 3 percent think they think,
and 95 percent would rather die than think.
I am not familiar with this at all. I wonder where he came up with these percentages?
I have been working with my husband. He tends to be one that feels “life just happens.” He seems to think he has no control. Your quote, “Everything is created twice first in the mind before it becomes physical.” This is what I’ve been trying to teach him. We all have this divine quality, but if we don’t believe it, if we don’t use it, then we are neglecting the ability and gift to create the life we truly want!
Excellent post, Erika!
Deborah
Deborah ,
the quote of George B. Shaw is often used in personal development programs and speeches.
Earl Nightingale was quoting it too. It sounds a bit harsh ,but if we are aware of it ,we
can see that it is true . Many people consider mind-chatter as thinking but it is not real
thinking .If you watched Bob Proctors video ,you may see he is right . Many would not do what
they do if they were really aware. Using the mental faculty reason, for example, can be hard
work. If we have to solve a problem ,to find a beneficial solution,we need our mental faculties.
Maybe explain the everything is created twice to your husband . I think he can not deny that this
is true .All was first a thought in someone’s mind before it became a thing .
Our intuition and imagination are an amazing gift and our mental faculties together really
can do magic .
I am glad you found some new things here.
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Hello Erika! We never really hear a whole lot of talk about the intuitive and creative mind my friend! We all do have the right to create what we want but first we do need to learn how HUH?
Great Share!!
Thank YOU
Chery :))
You are right Chery ,
we all have the gift of a creative mind ,but we have to get aware of it. We can use it and make it work for us to our and other people’s benefit.
Thank you for your visit and comment .
I am glad you liked the post
Erika
Hi Erika,
So true, we are what we think about all day long. Love Bob Proctor, he is one of my favorite speakers of all time. It’s amazing how our mind and our thoughts are working for us if we aware and know how to use them. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Emi,
I am glad you like Bob Proctors speeches. He really wants to help people to understand and improve their life.
He loves what he is doing and wants to bring awareness about the art of thinking and our ability to live the
life we really love.
Thank you for your comment I am glad you liked the post.
Erika
Hi Erika!
This is a fantastic article and the quotes are most memorable. I was surprised by the information on how few of us actually think and would rather die than do so!
I have always been a thinker and like Beth, became aware very early in my life that ‘Thoughts can become things’ and that the way we thinks affects so many areas of our lives.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Hi Sonia ,
this thinking quote seems a bit harsh first ,but if you are aware of it ,you will see it is a reality.
Tha majority of people only follow what they get from the outside to our senses and do not really use
their mental faculties. Many even lost the ability to imagine and do not trust or are not aware of the intuition.
I am glad you are a thinker and know that thoughts become things is this not magic?:)
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Hey,
Thinking is the great fact for doing something before. I think you are very thoughtful. That’s why I’m surprised to read your this blog post.
However, Thanks for sharing your awesome idea.
Hi Palashtd,
This is not my Idea ,it is fact .
If you learn to use your mental faculties and
are aware what they are ,you can create a good life for yourself .
Thank you
Erika
We are what we think, I’ve always loved that quote. I use my brain a lot but am always astounded by how many people simply don’t! I believe that schools should teach in a different way to encourage children to use their brain and not learn from rote, as is the current way, as you rightly say.
Enjoy the journey!
You are right Mandy ,
I too think schools should teach in a different way and there are many who do the same.
We can let the children have their imagination and use it at least. This was not liked
in the school .If kids are able to play and are in a natural environment and not restricted
they will use the mental faculties. In our time we have more and more kids sitting inside
in front of a screen. This does not help.
Hopefully, more people get aware and it will change.
Thank you for the comment
Erika
I’ve just written a post about creativity which is still in draft. After reading this I realize that I’ve missed out talking about intuition which is so important.
Hi Sue,
good, you got reminded. Intuition and imagination are helping us with our creativity.
As ve know ‘Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.’
If we get creative we bring our imagination into reality. Intuition can help us
with the how .
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Hi Erika,
Mind is magical Indeed. A mind free of clutter and low frequency thoughts can do amazing thing. Thanks for writing this and sharing the resources!
Abe
The mental faculties are a gift and many lost the ability to use them properly.
Imagination and Intuition are powerful to get what we desire.
everything is created twice and using the mental faculties can
do what seems to be magic 🙂
“There is a thinking stuff( called Karana Chitta in the Bhagavat Gita) from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.( I call it the universal mind )
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise, he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit. -The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Delois Wattles
Thank you 🙂
Erika
Hai Erika,
Thanks for sharing a useful article. It is the best article ever and it educated me a lot.
According to me, it is always good to learn something new. Every hard worker always learns new things in their daily life.
Always we should think positive. “Mind is not the dustbin to keep all our sadness. God gave us a beautiful life so make use of it.
We should always train our mind in a positive way and also in a proper way so that it will help us to achieve success in our life. To reach our success one mental faculties also one which plays a major role.
Your post is most helpful to every beginner. I like the quotes by Johann Georg Hamann that you have mentioned above.
“No ruler of this world can be ruler over your thoughts”. It was a great one. There is always a magic in our mind. What you said is true.
Waiting for your next article. Great job thanks…
Hi Satish,
you are right ,we better do not use our mind as a dustbin.
Better to live in the now and keep the mind open for a good
connection to the universal mind (Chitta). We have a life which
we can make beautiful if we use our imagination and intuition
for good. Ask questions which take us forward instead of dwelling
on negative thoughts fear and worry which are not reality but things
we imagine and which may never happen. We better use the magic of our mind
for getting good ideas which bring us forward and act on it .
Do not let anybody rule your thoughts, keep negativity out .
To your success in creating a beautiful life 🙂
Thank you
Erika
Nice post Thank you for sharing but my advise is to be calm wheather it’s a bad time or good time ,just we have to focused on us to improve us…..
Hi Syed Kamran,
you are right ,to stay calm and focus on improving is best.
Only most of the people in our time have difficulties with this
and are often stressed. Meditation and serenity are needed to
be able to think in a better way . Gratitude is a bid help as well.
Thank you
Erika
What a lovely post. There is so much magic within each of us. We just have to embrace it and let it flow.
Hi Elise ,
you are right ,we can let it flow if we are aware of it and embrace the magic in us .
Thank you
Erika
Hi Erika
Great post. Do you know of any books that go into this more? Thanks.
Hi Luis,
There are many books, but there is a kindle book, SIX MENTAL FACULTIES, that may be good to start with.
