Commanding The Mind

I've come to realize that the mind is malleable and can be directly commanded. One example I can bring up is the matter of falling asleep. Most regard sleep as uncontrollable and one moment they're awake, the next bam they're asleep. For me, I've come to realize that before sleeping, there's a certain buzzing feeling and the body slowly becomes numb. At this critical juncture, it is actually possible to authorize or deny the sleep cycle. Should one choose to authorize it, it also becomes possible to call upon the sleep cycle at will as well, thus enabling sleep at just about any time one wants. From this, I could say that a lot of what people believe to be involuntary is actually quite consciously controllable given the right stimulus and training. Unfortunately, it seems that people are either unwilling or unable to dedicate the resources to investigating exactly what it is that they have control over. I find it sad because there likely a goodly bit of unrealized potential in the average person, and they are just not trying to maximize it at all.
