Masters of mind: Buddha, Confucius and Sólon


Buddha, the thinker born in Nepal was most significant. Buddhism makes the way through perceptions and feelings as the means leading to the thought. The perceptions and sensations would be combined in a gradually, almost automatic, way. Thus becoming thoughts and ideas.





Confucius, the philosopher and teacher in china, inspired the a school of thought known as "Confucianism". To Confucius the ability to think and decide was inside of everyone.





Sólon, was a poet and lawgiver of Athens, in ancient Greece, who refers to the mind as reasoning and ability to understand and judge.
The famous inscription found in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi  "Know thyself" is attributed to Sólon, although this can not be proven.

Power of Mind - The beggining of the journey

Mind has always intrigued humans, since beginning of time. I confess that I am among that many of people who are amazed by the mind and its power.
Come with me on a trip into the past of psychology. You can you give me your hand or walk next to me, interacting or not.

Mind? What’s the mind?
The attempt to answer this question led to the development of many myths, folklore and theories.
Around the VI century BC, Confucius, Buddha, and Solon, left a legacy reflected in their new way of thinking about the mind. Some authors suggest that has been at this point that appeared mind appeared as an object of thought, much like we do today.
