Manifesto On Riding The Bicycle (Part I)

Excerpts from the instruction manual they forgot to give us

There is a quiet revolution waiting to happen within us.

It doesn't require more effort, more productivity, or another self-help book. It requires remembrance. Recognition. Awareness.

Because what we call "the mind" is much more than what we were taught.

We have inherited a fractured model of thinking. From a young age, we're taught to equate thought with truth, logic with superiority, and imagination with fantasy. But this worldview amputates the deepest aspects of our spiritual intelligence.

What I’ve noticed most clearly is this:

Humanity’s greatest mental power lies not in thinking more, but in realizing that most thoughts are not their own.

And so, much of the power of the mind is lost not because it is weak, but because it has been unclaimed, and so it is occupied. Colonized. Running inherited loops from culture, family, media, and survival.

A few core ways humans are missing the real capacities of their mind:

1. Mistaking Thought for Truth

Most people believe if I think it, it must be me.

But the real power of the mind emerges the moment you realize the mind is not the self. The mind is a field, and our beliefs are what localize it. Like a sponge in an ocean.

Thoughts are visitors. And just like breath, they can be chosen, transformed, and directed. But only once one steps into the role of Witness.

Dormant Gift: The ability to command thought instead of obey it.
Missed Power: Discernment between noise and inner knowing.

2. Using the Mind Horizontally Instead of Vertically

Most thinking is lateral, thinking from this to that, time to time. “What do I do next?”.

Rarely do people ask where they are thinking from.

But vertical mind is different. It asks:

“What level of Being am I thinking from right now?”

Is it fear? Ego? Soul? Spirit? Pure Potential?
The higher the octave, the more magnetic, symbolic, and directive thought becomes.

Dormant Gift: The ability to shift states of consciousness at will, thereby thinking from soul instead of about it.
Missed Power: Inner alignment before outer action.

3. Denying the Imagination as a Real Organ

Imagination is seen as fantasy, when in truth it is the eye of the soul. Einstein knew this. Rudolf Steiner knew this. So did Blake. So do all “the mystics”.

Most people kill their imagination by age 12. But that’s like blinding the third eye and calling it "maturity."

Consider the stigma you might feel around, “so they’ve all just been imagining things”. That alone reveals a conditioned dogma that blocks your potential. Blocks an entire world from your experience. I tell you, once you open this door and realize what it means to step through, you’ll know what’s real versus what is an insignificant mental image. This must be developed like any other muscle.

Dormant Gift: Using imagination as a portal. A real access point to non-physical guidance, insight, and memory.
Missed Power: Creating new realities from the subtle realms inward-out, instead of defaulting to inherited structures.

4. Not Recognizing Thought as Sound

Every thought is not just a concept. It’s a frequency. A vibrational event in subtle matter. You sense it.

Unspoken thought creates just as powerfully as spoken word. Because both are words. Words create worlds.

Repeated thoughts become mantras. Mantras become reality.

Dormant Gift: The ability to generate reality through inner acoustics. Through mental resonance. Notice the thoughts you experience when you create a positive feeling state. One of virtue, not pleasure.
Missed Power: Thought as spell, inner dialogue as ritual.

5. Believing the Mind Ends at the Brain

The mind is not housed in the skull. The skull is housed within the mind.

Consciousness is non-local. The body is a terminal in the vast field of universal intelligence. Most humans are only using 1% (if that) of what’s available because they think the signal ends at their skin.

Dormant Gift: Interdimensional cognition. Receiving ideas, solutions, and memories from beyond linear space-time.
Missed Power: Participating in the Akasha. The knowing field.

The mind is powerful. But it must be ensouled.

Without heart, presence, or devotion, it becomes cold. It becomes a machine rather than a mystic.

The ancients didn’t separate mind and soul. That’s modern fracture.

The true human mind is not a factory. It is a sanctuary. A place to host revelation, beauty, and design. But to reclaim it, you must clear it, calm it, and listen.

This is not about self-improvement. This is about soul restoration.

Your mind is not broken. It has simply been occupied.

Now is the time to return to the center. To restore the throne. To think as soul.

The world will not change because we think faster. It will change when we remember where thought comes from.
