Power + the Mind

Rosina Garrett 1967 (Baltimore)



If you can gain some type of power with your mind you can control it. Just like if you pick up a flower in your hands you could hold it.  Using powers are different than using the mind.  With powers you mate with the mind you create.  A mind is like a parachute it will only work if it is open.  Just like having powers is a gift, but without a heart your powers are broken. I've always believed this and still today I think it's true that the power + the Mind all depends on the person in you.
