"Mens agitat molem"


"Mens agitat molem"

- Virgil, The Aeneid, Book 6



It means "the mind moves matter." Everything connects to the mind, and human beings have yet to unlock the wondrous powers which lie within. We all think, but we do not all control our thought. I'm reminded of this when I hear stories of monks who can control their body temperatures at will, or people who have come out of comas after laying dormant for years. Miracles like these happen every day on a smaller scale. Whether we know it or not we all move the matter of the world with each decision we make. It is the thought which spurs the action, and the action which in turn spurs reality.
