Posted January 24, 2021 I'm curious about your views and definitions. What is the mind, in your experience? Do you feel like you're actually walking around inside of your mind? Or do you think the mind is just this thing in your head? Perhaps some sort of a realm? A mental layer of existence? What is it and how does one 'transcend' it? What does it even mean to 'transcend the mind'? Would appreciate your thoughts. Check My Music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) 28 minutes ago, ivankiss said: Why are there two distinct words if 'the mind' and 'a thought' are one and the same? The definition of thought is the act of thinking. Therefore, Anything you think is a “thought “ (“Mind”, “me”, “you”, “infinite”, “time” including word of “thought” is a thought). Because all those stuff is something that you “think”. 28 minutes ago, ivankiss said: And what is that? This is the real question. Mind, thought, time, me, you vs... is just a putting meaning, naming and labeling the “words” (as saying or calling mind to “mind”, words to “words” , thoughts to “thoughts “, time to “time”). If “you” take away every naming and labeling (which concludes with not knowing), after that everything is identical. Therefore there is no such a thing as thought, mind vs... therefore there is o distinction. (Question from first quote). Thats why mind is so called “thought” , “not even”.

Posted January 24, 2021 Everything is the Mind. Mind is a thing that dreams/imagines. And since it is infinite there is nothing outside of it. And of course, in strange loop fashion, Mind imagines itself into existence. Which is how God created itself. You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
