The mind is our most powerful tool. There's nothing it can't do. According to numerous studies, it actively generates new ideas even when we rest or do nothing. Often we can come up with solutions to difficult problems simply after a full night's sleep.
Just as our physical state depends on what we feed to our bodies, our mental state depends on the quality of information we feed to our brain. If we nourish our brain with real-life data that allows it to solve fundamental problems, it will process this data in the background and come up with unexpected solutions.
It is unfortunate that most people prefer to feed their minds not with real-life facts that can let us change the world, but with random Netflix series or TikTok videos. On a deep level, our brain can't tell fiction from reality, so the abundance of digital entertainment keeps our subconscious mind busy producing solutions to problems that do not exist.
To be creative and productive, we must first clear from our minds the sticky mud of irrelevant content with which “recommendation algorithms” flood it on a daily basis. If we are to reclaim our creative freedom, we must first take back control of our minds.

Study shows meditation can improve brain functioning
Washington [US], August 19 (ANI): According to new research from Binghamton University, the State University of New York, just eight weeks of meditation studies can improve brain functioning, making our brains quicker.
Brain wave stimulation may improve Alzheimer’s symptoms
Noninvasive treatment improves memory and reduces amyloid plaques in mice.
A non-invasive treatment of light and sound to increase brain waves known as gamma oscillations led to improvements in cognition and memory and a dramatic reduction in amyloid beta plaques in mice. Some forms of meditation also increase gamma waves.

Brain wave stimulation may improve Alzheimer’s symptoms
By exposing mice to a unique combination of light and sound, MIT neuroscientists have shown they can improve cognitive and memory impairments similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s patients.
Seven-year follow-up shows lasting cognitive gains from meditation
Gains in the ability to sustain attention developed through intensive meditation training are maintained up to seven years later, according to a new study published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement.

Exploring the Role of Meditation and Dispositional Mindfulness on Social Cognition Domains: A Controlled Study
Research suggests that mindfulness can induce changes in the social domain, such as enhancing emotional connection to others, prosocial behavior, and empathy.
…comparisons showed statistically significant differences between meditators and non-meditators for social cognition measures
Meditators scored significantly higher on empathy subscales.
In relation to emotional recognition, meditators scored significantly higher than non-meditators,
meditators demonstrated better performance in the Hinting Task versus non-meditators.
For attributional style, meditators scored statistically lower than non-meditators, revealing lower hostility bias , intentionality bias , blame , anger bias and aggressivity bias .

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
