The mind…
Fascinating thing. Watch it think.
Sensations mixed with visuals, mixed with emotions sometimes.
It travels great distances in a split second.
Then it revisits, adds, or adjusts data.
It stops, waits, questions.
Under all that, much more is being done also, at greater speeds. Synthesizing, including, excluding, preserving… much of it is unrealized. You’re not aware of it. But it’s the intelligence that keeps your body alive—and you sane.
The “mind” is the intelligence behind every living cell, atom, organism. Behind life.
It’s not actually “yours.” You don’t possess it. There’s no clear distinction between you, others, trees, animals. It’s all one organism. When you die, like when a cell dies, the organism continues to function. As does the mind, because it didn’t belong to the body. Mind wasn’t the possession of the body.
Watch…
The part of mind that you call “me,” “who I am,” switches off every night, and you have no idea what’s happening to your body or if you will wake up the next day. Also, in waking times, it goes silent, it stops moving, it stops thinking. But you don’t disappear.
It is fascinating how tangled we get in our own minds, creating distances that don’t actually exist for the heart.
With those we care about (and everything we care about—positive or negative), distance doesn’t matter. Where distance matters is in indifference.
Where indifference is, invisibility is too. No connection, no contact. They don’t acquire space within our inner universe. What is real to us is what is within our inner universe. Only that exists for us. Our world is subjective.
