How to control our mind and develop mental strength and spirit?
The brain is an interesting organ. It is the nerve center of the human body that controls all functions and motions of the body. It decides everything you do, feel, think, taste and hear even. So if you realized that you can control your mind with mind control techniques, wouldn’t it be a cool technique to learn? Mind control is defined as a tool for coercion but not in the positive sense.
Mind control historically has been known for being a coercive instrument and for mental abuse. That notion is slowly changing as people are using mind control techniques for better goal realization. The mind control techniques rely on the subconscious state of the human which is why it is so easily misused.

Hypnotic mind control is when a one person or a group of persons using another person in an unethical fashion, without explicit consent. In such cases, the person in the hypnotic trance is very susceptible to the power of suggestion. This type of a mind control technique is what has given the mind control techniques a bad name today. Mind control has always been used as a trick and used in ritual abuse, in manipulation, in memory manipulation, and in brainwashing. As brainwashing and mind control has such negative connotation, people find it difficult to see that mind control can be used in a positive manner.
Mind control is also associated with drugs and people with the substance abuse problems are believed to be more susceptible to mind control. But whether it is entirely mind control or an addiction pattern is still being researched on. Modern science and psychiatry has a history of even conducting mind control experiments. Such incidents make mind control a scary concept but it can be used in a positive manner. Mind control also crops up when talk turns to cults and conspiracy because that is the only acceptable method that people could possibly join cults. There are also studies that suggest that living close to cell towers can lead to brain damage and make the mind susceptible to mind control. There isn’t too much truth in that yet.
The mind control technique of today is not the same as it used to be and does not require that you put anyone under any spell. Mind control techniques exist today. Mind control comes from practicing mind control techniques. These techniques are considered a new form of persuasion. Mind control techniques are often mistaken for hypnosis but that isn’t the case.
