Fascinating Tale of Mind Power
One of the most fascinating tales of mind power involves 20th century mentalist and psychic Wolf Messing. A man who was something of a superstar in his day, Messing fled his native Poland after Hitler put a bounty on his head for publicly predicting that Germany would be defeated if they attacked Russia and that Hitler would die shortly thereafter.
Messing wound up in Russia, where the dictator Stalin heard of his renowned powers. Highly skeptical, Stalin had a message sent to Messing that he wanted to put his abilities to a test. He issued the challenge that Messing was to visit him at his countryside compound within the next 48 hours-while bypassing his security in the process. Keep in mind that Stalin was both one of the most powerful and hated rulers of all time and that the level of protection around him was second to none.
Much to Stalin’s surprise, two days later while working in his study he looked up from his desk and saw a strange man standing before him! Needless to say the mysterious visitor was Wolf Messing, who had managed to enter one of the most secure locations in the world undetected. Years later Messing explained that he accomplished this feat by repeating to himself over and over, “I am Beria,” the last name of Stalin’s feared chief of the secret police, Laventri Beria. In doing so, Messing apparently convinced himself temporarily that he was Beria and put forth such a confident appearance that he was able walk right past Stalin’s guards, even though he bore no physical resemblance to the man.
Those who studied Messing generally concur he was individual who had well above average mental talents. Yet the special way he used the power of words and language is applicable to us all. Think of an area of life where you are confident in and contrast it with one where confidence is lacking. Quite often the internal dialogue or self-talk is dramatically different between the two. We can often bolster our selves by simply repeating a word such as “strong” or “confident” a half-dozen times or so, as power words like these carry strong subconscious associations and can often help us perform at an optimal level. What are your special power words?
