mind - a non-material, ephemeral interface of consciousness and biological brain. Like a parachute, a mind only works when it is open. There are other "things" that also do not work properly, unless they are open—like a sewer, but I would not compare that to my mind, because an open mind needs to be discriminating, less it accepts everything—hook, line and stinker, as does the sewer, voter or true believer. "An open mind is not an end in itself but a means to the end of finding truth." -Peter Kreeft. Obsessed with the content of our thoughts, we fail to recognize the process. Content changes; the process remains the same. Now, you already know that a mind is a terrible thing to waste or let go to waste. So, in order for the mind to go beyond all wasted conditioning, there must be a complete cessation (through profound meditation) of the experiencer (the modifier, the censor, the ego-entity) who makes running commentary about the experience, with the urge to grasp or the urge to change, repeat, accept or reject. The mind is a cage, but if you look inside it will find no prisoner. Only with a stillness of the mind can the unknown come into being.

MIND -Mental Identification Nurtures Dualism. Identification with the mind creates the split-mind duality.

Mind - (Mentally Identified Notions Dominating)—a non-local memory bank comprised of stored sensory input data, pro-survival fact data and prevailing belief data which only has itself to know itself with; 2) the active agent of intelligence used to perceive and observe the Universe; 3) a non-physical aspect of self that uses the physical brain to communicate with the physical universe. 4) that which contains the ability to think beyond itself. 5) consciousness—"existing" everywhere and nowhere spaceless and timeless) simultaneously, i.e., non-local. 6) restlessness itself. Anything restless cannot be at peace. 7) a disturbance in consciousness—the primary dis-ease. 8) the accumulated past of all incomplete actions. 9) from the known to the known—a collective phenomenon. 10) "empty cognizance." -Tulku Urgyen. We do not think with the mind; we think for the mind. Mind is a disturbed state of consciousness—agitated, unstable, restless and full of waves. Mind has no existence, it only appears to exist, inferred, but it is only a form—like a dream, wave or a knot. Mind is a door towards the world, i.e., "objects," away from yourself, i.e., "subjective," not a door towards consciousness. Mind divides and then everything looks clear-cut. It is a slave pretending to be master. Interestingly enough, the mind is very unmindful. Mind is nothing but memory, and memory is not understanding. No matter how clear your mind becomes—it is still a barrier, a knot, a spectator. Mind permeates the Kosmos and must constantly be sustained and reproduced or the Kosmos will cease to exist as registered in consciousness. All the instruments of perception and apperception of past and present place mind in the Kosmos and the Kosmos in/as/of mind. Mind is that which takes you away from Reality, the object. Mind never takes you to an object. Mind is an epi-phenomenon—a process which is useful but secondary; a process which comprises words, not realities. The Mind is merely thoughts filtered—and of all the thoughts, the thought T is the root. Therefore, the Mind is only the thought "I." Mind is manifestation of the vitality of the Infinite—a reflecting phenomenon, the reflection comes from the real, but the reflection is not real. It is like a mirror—pure reflection with no retention. Overstanding this is what I call "mirrorealization." The reality is reflected in it, but reflections are not real. Your mind can reflect everything, but your mind cannot reflect you. You are the blackground behind (anterior and antecedent to) the mind, the mind can orj;. reflect ±ir.£s which are in front of it. Within the reality of this realization is the true Ph.D.; Potential hidden Divinity—She doctorate m Self-knowledge from the Cosmic University of Life. The mind hides reality because the mind takes the place of Reality Annihilate the mind if you wish to be a consort with Reality. Mind cannot by any process be made intelligent because -and means memory. Mind means a mechanism that accumulates past experiences. Mind means known, and intelligence means exploration of the unknown— and not only of the unknown—when the intelligence reaches to its ultimate flowering it enters into the world of the unknowable. Mind is nothing more than desire leading you away from yourself—your aboriginal True Self. Mind is the non­local apparatus by which the universe precipitates ideas (ideations) into solid-seeming creations within the dimension of space-time—the physical universe. The mind does not really exist—that is, have a separate or independent existence transcending time and space. It operates non-Iocally but doesn't exist as such. What exists are the non-local thoughts only. The substrate of the mind is thought; not: the mind is the substrate of thought. Your mind has been preprogrammed with a virus, the purpose of which is to shut down its operation of inquiry into the True Self as soon as trigger questions are initiated and pursued by awareness (awakened consciousness). We can't use tangible senses where only intangible sensors will prove fruitful. Without awareness, mind is nothing—-just as fire without fuel is not a fire. Sit back and think black into your mind. Only mind is able to reach back into time. Remove the notion of time and you remove the essence of mind. Mind does not observe the past; it creates it. Mind is the seat of conscious or unconscious awareness. Our minds interface with OM—ordinary matter—in the form of brains (grey matter) which are themselves complex processes and/or complexes of processes. Our brains are entertained by reality which is hosted by Consciousness. Our mind-brain interfaces model reality within an environment that has become self-modifying and self-referential (recursive). Our minds co-evolve with everything that influences them. Minds are figments of reality, bi-directional processes interfacing between ordinary matter (brains) and immaterial consciousness. Mind-Brains evolved through (within Consciousness) in order to mimic, model and manipulate natural processes in this manifestation (Existence). There is no such thing as mind over matter. Mind is matter. All there is, is Consciousness.

mind - the immaterial medium for how we fill the atmosphere and fill space and time—serving as interface and interference. The mind's true nature is intersubjective and interconnected—non-local in fact. The isolated mind is a myth. American humorist, Ambrose Bierce, stated the mind, "is a substance secreted deep within the brain, whose chief preoccupation is thinking about itself—the problem being that it has only itself to think about itself with." In order to think about the mind one has to employ the mind; one has to step outside of the mind. In so doing, the mind then would have to function simultaneously as subject and object. Mind is the law that binds the ignorant and frees the wise. Withdrawing from the mind (partaking from it) leaves it incomplete thereby affecting any future observation about it. Conversely, if one does not step outside of the mind to observe it, the observation is impossible. Thinking about the mind with the mind puts you in a doublebind. We think for the mind not with the mind. In 1931 the greatest logician of the 20th century, Austrian mathematician Kurt Godel proved in his "Incompleteness Theorems" essentially that: (1) a logical system with any richness (complexity) can never be complete, (2) nor can it even be guaranteed to be consistent. The most eminent of mathematicians the world over for the past 80 years have been unable to discredit the validity of his proofs. While the mind is non-local and isn't some secretion of the brain, it is however, a very sinister Kafkaesque paradox that rational thought is revealing to us that it cannot be used to penetrate, much less arrive at, some ultimate or absolute truth. Godel had a complexly rhythmic laughter as if highlighting his ability to fathom the cosmic joke that is being played on us. He got it and it released him into laughter. Now, you are aware of your mind, but is your mind aware of you? Mind you, you are the one who speaks about your mind, but did your mind come to talk about you? Can the mind by itself, of itself, trouble you? Reflect on this for a moment. When you move from the position of the person to the state of presence you move from thought of the mind to clarity—to being beyond mind. The presence is always what's here; mind is mostly everywhere but here and now. Awakening only takes place here within you—nowhere else. Something within you has come through—be born. The work and the seeing take place right where you are. The renewing of the mind comes as the realization of presence above the thoughts of the mind—beyond the mind. The one for whom the concepts are playing you will even transcend that one you are trying to transcend the concepts while at the same time your identity is also a part of your concepts, then you're out of this trap. All that is necessary is a change in understanding to overstanding and perspective (the way you are looking). Even the present ideas you have of yourself is something you can look at which means it cannot be your ultimate reality—your True Self. Everything the mind can conjure up or find is just another illusion inside the illusion. Observe what Is without a thought. Let go of the concepts and the idea that there is some ultimate purpose or something to believe or achieve. We are realized already.
