You can’t mend a mind if you don’t know what a Mind is! The first item to tick off is the revelation of what the mind is and, even more fundamentally, what consciousness is. The entire book Mind-Body Problem Solved is devoted to this subject. The beginning of Mind Refreshed is a succinct version revealing the Godly origin of these two spiritual entities, neshama and ruach.

You now have the entire program God set in motion for humankind on Earth. Science and Philosophy are still searching for the what of consciousness and mind. Psychology and alternative therapies are tinkering with the how of consciousness and mind. Nobody knows the why of consciousness and mind.

The key elements for human functioning are a lost cause, and we wonder why we have so much mental illness.

We don’t need to be ignorant any longer. Mind Refreshed reveals the Why, How, and What of Consciousness and Mind and how to Nurture, Heal, and Empower Mental Health. The approach takes the theoretical knowledge all the way to the practical application for all human beings. It’s a complete, coherent program.

“Would I like to possess this rest?” I daresay YES.

Now, switch to Strong’s (box on the right), and let’s study the God-intended meaning of refreshed.

Job 32:20

I [Elihu] will speak, that I may be refreshed H7304: I will open my lips and answer.

Elihu, the youngest of Job’s four friends, was frustrated by the three others’ replies to Job. He’d bottled up his speech because of his age. Now, he burst forth with the correct answer to Job’s woes and was refreshed. Look at the Biblical Hebrew meaning, especially its origin.

H7304

רָוַח râvach raw-vakh’; a primitive root (identical with H7306 (רוּחַ)); properly, to breathe freely, i.e. revive;

KJV — be refreshed, large.

H7306

רוּחַ rûwach roo’-akh; a primitive root; properly, to blow, i.e. breathe; only (literally) to smell or by implication, perceive:

KJV — accept, smell, ⨯ touch, make of quick understanding.

The origin of refreshed is make of quick understanding (H7306) and it’s exactly the same word in Hebrew as mind (H7307). We can say Mind Refreshed is: רוּחַ רָוַח (H7307 H7304, Hebrew reads from right to left). Do you see the relationship?

Exodus 23:12

Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed (H5314).

The seventh day Sabbath is a day of refreshing. People tend to emphasize PHYSICAL rest, which is necessary but the essential is refreshing the whole person, especially their mind. Look at this second Hebrew word translated refreshed.

The Title Mind Refreshed Reveals The Bible-Base For Mental Health

When we come to the Greek New Testament, we also find Mind Refreshed. In fact, God’s Plan for humankind can be summed up as, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). Paul refers to a refreshed, or rested mind.

1 Corinthians 16:18

For they [messengers from Corinth] have refreshed (G373) my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge you that are such:

Rest ties into the Sabbath day of rest, the day for physical rest to refresh the mind and focus it on the mind of Christ.

Matthew 11:28

Come to me, all you that labour and are heavy laden G5412, and I will give you rest (G373).

The way to have your Mind Refreshed is through the Bible Proverbs Method, which heals mental anxiety and nurtures mental health in our younger generation. This is biblical psychology based on a solid scriptural foundation of understanding the nature of consciousness and mind, how they function, and the formula God gave humankind so each of us possesses a thriving mind. Mind Refreshed is an apt title for this book.

Organization is a necessity at any age. However, the best time to learn to manage oneself and one's possessions is as early as possible.

The Internet promotes a plethora of get-rich-quick schemes. Is this a good idea? Why do we crave wealth?

Wealth is Not the Main Purpose of Life

Money and wealth are concerns, even significant purposes in our lives. Whatever situation we're in, we need money.

So, let's ask, Is God rich? If He is, Of course. But does He hoard this wealth for Himself? No.

Proverbs 115:16

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth has he given to the children of men.

Sharing Our Wealth is Our Fundamental Purpose

God shares His wealth. His purpose is not wealth for wealth's sake. It's wealth to be transmitted for the uplifting benefit of others.

Proverbs 11:24-26

There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty.

How Maria became a liberal soul. In her late thirties, she was a single mother of two who discovered a profound purpose in life through her journey to support her family.

Exercises to Develop Sharing Wealth

That's the purpose of wealth. It doesn't come overnight. Depending on what finances, time, and energy you can share right now, make it a short—or long-term purpose. Here are three practical exercises to get you underway

1. Daily Acts of Kindness

2. Volunteer Your Skills Weekly

3. Monthly Reflection and Goal Setting

Proverbs 22:9

He that has a bountiful eye shall be blessed;

When we align our professional purpose and sharing it is powerful and conquering anxiety is a guaranteed benefit.

Diligence and Rulership

Diligence is the fifth exercise for Bible Proverbs Therapy; it relates to one aspect of rulership, the fifth characteristic of consciousness.

Links for this video here: https://TheExplanation.com/mastering-workplace-diligence-proven-success

Proverbs 12:24

The hand of the diligent (H2742) shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute (H4522).

Diligence Leads to Success

Josh, a 32-year-old accountant, had always felt indifferent about his job. He saw his work as something he had to do, not something he wanted to do.

Then, one day, his manager, Sarah, pulled him aside for a performance review. She didn’t reprimand him but instead asked, “Josh, do you even enjoy what you’re doing?” The question, though simple, hit Josh harder than he expected. He knew he needed a change, but maybe not a career change—just a change in attitude. He searched for aspects of the job he could appreciate. He set small goals for himself.

As weeks passed, Josh began to notice a shift in his mindset. This led to more positive feedback from his manager and peers. His newfound work ethic opened doors to promotions and greater responsibility.

1. Set Clear, Daily Goals

2. Eliminate Distractions for Focused Work Time

Diligence is a Proverb's principle that, when applied, moves us out of anxiety and into a more satisfied and mentally stable life.

Cell phones are aggravating social anxiety. Baby is putting herself in a corner.

Socialization or Social Anxiety

Proverbs 18:24

A man (and woman) that has friends (H7453) must shew himself friendly.

Awareness of Degraded Social Relationships

Emma, a 28-year-old marketing professional, always prided herself on being productive and connected. She started every morning with her phone in hand, scrolling through emails, checking social media, and catching up on news.

Determined to Change Social Anxiety

The only way we’re going to reclaim our lives from our devices is if we create boundaries... if we don’t set up our own boundaries, our technology will set them for us. -- Arianna Huffington

Exercises to Fight Social Anxiety

They are designed to help break the habit of overusing a cell phone and foster real-life connections:

1. Phone-Free Meal Challenge

How it Works: When you go out to eat with friends or family, make a pact that everyone must place their phones in the middle of the table, face down.

2. 30-Minute Walk-and-Talk

How it Works: Instead of texting or chatting over social media, invite a friend or family member for a 30-minute walk outdoors.

3. The 24-Hour Phone-Free Challenge

How it Works: Pick one day of the week, such as a Saturday or Sunday, to go completely phone-free. Spend the day doing activities with friends or family.

Sixty years ago, I hadn't used my reasoning skills to determine whether a Higher Power existed. I have now. What about you?

Reasoning is the Third Aspect of Consciousness

Let's take a slightly different tack on this question. Is there Something above us? Something bigger than humans, more prominent than our minds, our intelligence?

This is the third practical exercise for Bible Proverbs Therapy. For one week, we're going to focus on one specific area of consciousness (reasoning) and drill down to one precise point: Is there a Higher Power?

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

How to Prove God's Existence

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Here's King David's practical wisdom as part of this week's exercise.

Psalms 143:5

I remember the days of old; I meditate (H1897) on all your works (H4639); I muse (H7878) on the work of your hands.

we find the Universe's expansion speeding up, activated by a mysterious Dark Energy. Sure, we can say we don't know what it is, and it's easy to say that's proof of God. Maybe yes, maybe no. But we must realize these colossal forces exist, and science has no idea of their origin.

Psalm 139:14

I will praise you [God]; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.

Study and meditate on Chronobiology, Apoptosis, and Protein Folding.

The Universe we live in is a witness to the Higher Power.
