SOBRIETY - THE MIND

Bear in mind that the mind is the citadel of the man; however many folks wrestle with the idea that man was not created but that he evolved, the more I investigate this view the more I doubt the truth of it.  for it is evident that the construction of the human body, especially your mind, could not have come about as a result of a bang, but by an intelligent designer.

The mere design of the human body tells a story; the average human scalp has about 100,000 hairs, each square inch of the human skin consist of twenty feet of blood vessels, every tongue has a unique tongue print, everyone a unique finger print, the left lung is smaller than the right lung to make room for the heart; even the way we treat the body, to the extent that a person will sooner die from total lack of sleep than from starvation. Death will occur 10 days without sleep while starvation takes a few weeks. To devote one’s life to the study of this human machinery would take the work of a life time and so when you look at this unique creation you see that nothing can evolve and work with such careful precision.

My main focus is the mind; as you view the body it is apparent that the mind is the capital of the body; and every other part of the body was made to be servant to the mind. A close study of the mind reveals that all the organs of motion are governed by the communications they receive from the brain.

As a result we must train the mind so that we do not waver when it comes to discerning right from wrong. The individual does not come from a noble place, to depravity, corruption and crime in a day, but rather through time. By our thoughts we can so educate our mind so that things we once detest will become pleasant to us. Hence we ought to exercise care in all that we do.

There are many things that we love to do that can prove harmful to us in the long run. Everyone should realize the decision lies with them to ensure their lives are controlled by the mind and not the body.


The cerebrum or the cortex as it is called is the largest part of the human brain. It is associated with the brain function of the thoughts and action. It is divided into four sections. These lobes are responsible for your reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movements, emotions, problem solving, recognition, perception memory speech and auditory stimuli. Consequently we see how music has the ability to affect us .  


 All the powers of the mind should be called into use and developed so that we can all have a balanced mind. the wonderful thing to consider is the knowledge that we are still in control of what we do. Accordingly, taking care of our mind should be our central goal; as the mind is the stronghold of the man; let us endeavour at all times to set a guard upon it.
