Shree: The Mind

 

Shree: The Mind

Mind works or behaves or exists in a phenomenon, so it “thinks or creates” in a particular way. This may be said as a loop of thoughts. Currently the mind senses or catches only fragments, disparate objects, separateness and establishes causal relations among these. Individual sense of identity or individual existence creates this thought of separateness and therefore systems, coordination and management to control such fractures. So it is engaged in the created loop of fragmentation and achieving control over the sense of increasing pace of fragments. Point is that the mind is astute in creating loops and remaining engaged in the riddles that the loop has created. It tries to find a complete picture, but the mind analyses and so fragments and as it fragments it establishes relations. So going beyond this behavior is important – we call it healing, slowing down, comprehensive understanding or realization, empathy, feelings, organic flow, peaceful non judgmental, acceptance, non evaluation, discussion, discovery and so on.

To be in this environment, starting from trust is necessary – that there is always hope and the capacity to remain calm regardless of any perceivable circumstance. We need saving from our own selves as far as the fragmented mind is concerned.

Unseen forces make the mind, which is temporary, relative, dependent, changing, insular. A mind or a thought is “created” the moment a situation of separateness gets born in the whole picture. To be born or to be created is a phenomenon and consciousness has this potential of being born as many, many, many things.

Also the start or the origin of any phenomenon cannot be ascertained for certain – it is understood only with respect to one’s mind. Neither the thing “out there” or the “mind within” is true – both are relative and the products of the same phenomenon, coming from the same Source (or the same process). In that sense, presence of mind is eternal. In that sense, impressions always exist beyond the mind, within the mind and even after the mind has dissolved – impressions change states and they take on another form and reappear as something else somewhere and this catching of impressions and resending them back is what the mind keeps doing in loops.

We can only go inwards to realize this behavior and make ourselves calm.
