The Mind That Makes the World

The Supreme Yoga, the Healing Trance, and the Path to Fundamental Peace

De: Luis Miguel Gallardo

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A thousand years ago, a sage told a despairing prince sixty-four stories to teach him one thing: the mind makes the world.

Two centuries ago, a priest from Goa stood before a Paris audience and founded the science of hypnosis on a single sentence: the power is not in me — it is in you.

This book is the meeting of the two.

The Yoga Vāsiṣṭha — the Supreme Yoga, among the most psychologically profound works ever written in India — teaches through its tales that the worlds we suffer are worlds we imagine, that old impressions keep suffering in motion, and that disciplined imagination and honest effort can dissolve them. Modern hypnotherapy discovered the operative half of every one of those claims and tested it in the clinic. Neither tradition had been read in the light of the other. Until now.

In these pages you will meet:
• A queen who walks into her dead husband’s dream and finds another queen there
• A king who lives sixty years in the hour a magician holds his gaze
• A crow who has outlived the gods and says his only secret is breath
• Cūḍālā, the queen who woke the king — the first hypnotherapist in recorded history, eleven centuries before Milton Erickson

And you will learn the science that caught up with them: what a trance actually is, what the brain does when you enter one, and the forgotten Indian lineage of hypnosis itself — from Abbé Faria of Goa to a Scottish surgeon in Bengal to a yogi buried alive at the court of Lahore.

Then you will walk the path. Eight phases, each with a story, its reason, and a guided practice you can record in your own voice and do tonight — settling, the trained imagination, the old rivers, the queen’s dialogues, the witness, living free — ending in forty days and an instrument that shows you where you have arrived.

The destination has a name. The tradition calls it liberation while living. Luis Miguel Gallardo calls it Fundamental Peace: not the absence of pain, but the transmutation of its energy into love and compassion. A cool mind, carried through the fire — warm enough to walk into a forest for someone who cannot yet see you.

Poetic, practical, and grounded in peer-reviewed research, The Mind That Makes the World is a book to read in an evening and return to for a year. It rests on the author’s scientific paper published by the World Happiness Foundation Research Lab, and on the Fundamental Peace framework published in Behavioral Sciences.

The mind makes the world. The trance remakes the mind. Go and rule your kingdom.

A remarkable connection between ancient wisdom and inner transformation

I just finished The Mind That Makes the World, and I found it amazing. What stood out to me most was the connection between the wisdom of the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha, the healing trance, and Fundamental Peace. Bringing these ideas together gave me so much to reflect on about the mind and how we experience life.

For me, it was a deeply rewarding read—one I’m still thinking about after finishing it. Highly recommended to anyone curious about consciousness, inner transformation, and the meeting of ancient philosophy with modern therapeutic approaches.
