The Incredible Power Of Thought

in #story7 years ago

Human thought can do anything.

In the 1950s, an English container ship carrying bottles of Madeira wine from Portugal unloaded its cargo in a Scottish port. A sailor enters the cold room to check that everything has been delivered. Ignoring his presence, another sailor closes the door from the outside. The prisoner strikes the bulkheads with all his strength but no one hears him and the ship leaves for Portugal.


The man discovers enough food but he knows that he can not survive long in this cold place. Yet he finds the energy to grab a piece of metal and engrave on the walls, hour after hour, day after day, the story of his ordeal. With scientific precision, he recounts his agony. How the cold numbs him, freezing his nose, his fingers and his toes. It describes how the bite of the air gets intolerable burn.


When the boat drops anchor in Lisbon, the captain who opens the container discovers the dead sailor. We read his story engraved on the walls. The most amazing is not there. The captain raises the temperature inside the container. The thermometer reads 19 ° C. Since the place no longer contained any goods, the refrigeration system was not activated during the return trip.

The man was dead only because he "thought" to be cold. He had been the victim of his only imagination.

This never happened right?

It really happened, true story that I read in a French book about real and crazy stories happened through the years!

Oh right if it's in a french book it must be true ;) Great story but I still don't believe it unless i see a picture of the engravings...

Wow, this is really true what we we think about is what actually happens . If you think about failing before you start you will definitely fail. A positive mind gives a positive result. We are what we think, because he is in a cold room he believed he will die of cold not even checking if it is working or not. Before anything happens in the physical it must have happened in our head first. So we need to stay positive. Lovely piece, this is great.

The greatest force is derived from the power of thought.
The finer the element, the more powerful it is.
The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many.
The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders.

what we think, we become

That was great.

great.

Great post, Our thoughts are so powerful to a point where reality can change based on what we think.

Many people die of their own subconscious mind. That it turns out that incredible fear can make people die. If the fear is put into the subconscious mind and the subconscious mind believes that it will die, then die.
