Oh my mind?
Ho do you define normality. Is perceived set of cultures
define by a group of people defines normal? Do the culturally bounded humans
perceive a set of values as normal?
If these sets of values are normal, what is abnormal then? How you
differentiate normal and abnormal. Why can’t we have values without a boundary?
Values remained values as they are without definition. Values not given a
meaning are meaningless? Why can’t
we look at things as they are without given our specific judgment? Why can’t we
perceive things as it is rather than looking at it with our veils? Values are
imposed on humans. These values are thought to humans till they are perceived
as normal. These so called values are perceived since the centuries as norm of
human beings. As long as our mind
perceives values as acceptance rather than imposition, the mind remained
bounded. It remained bounded to the set of values forced into it. The mind
remained confined to the set of values. It knows no freedom. The mind become
restless the moment the values removed from it slightest sight. The moment the
concept of mind conceptualized and perceived, it forgets the master. It by
itself remained as master. It ‘s strengthened by its own belief. The mind
become solidifies by re-enforcement of its own kind. The more it tries to
untangle from its clutch, the more it get entangled. Gradually, it accepts the
entanglement as part of itself.
Entanglement is mind. The
more entangled the mind is, the greater the achievement it perceives. The achievement of a tangled mind is
rewarded. Rewards that further
encourage entanglement. It’s exponentially rewarding.
Mind
oh minds, why I am created. What am I? Again I am trying to define myself. Defining
by giving meaning to myself. Defining by giving substance to myself. Defining
to give value to myself. Defining
to create an identity to myself. So is it the identity that strengthens the
mind. Mind oh minds, who am I. Am I John, Peter, William, Sarah, Rose, Linda?
What if I am nobody? What if I remained as I am without the mind? But than, who
is this I? Is the ‘I’ the mind or the mind is the ‘I’? Or both the “I” and mind
are one. Or is my body is ‘I’ and
mind just attached to it. Or the
mind is the ‘I’ and the body is attached to it. How if the mind, the body and
the ‘I’ are not connected at all at the first place? Are they three different
entities? The three defines human? Is it possible for this ‘I’ to live without
the mind? Is it possible the mind to live without the ‘I’? Is it possible the
‘I’ and the mind just be there without the boundary? Where the body comes into
the picture than?
Is
it possible the body comes at birth without the mind and ‘I’? It remained as a body
without any thoughts. It remained as a body of a baby without the name given by
the owners, (parents). The mind comes later. The so-called ‘I’ is not an actual ‘I’ but the ‘I’
identified by the parents to the body. The body still can’t perceive the ‘I’
given to it. It needs the mind to tell the body about the ‘I’. So, without the
mind, the body cannot identify or defines itself with the ‘I’. So when the mind
comes? When the naked body identified by the mind as ‘I’? Why at the first
place the mind has to come to tell the body about the ‘I’? Is it possible to
remove the mind from the body entirely so the ‘I’ never identified. Is it
possible the body lives with the mind without the identification of the ‘I’. But the moment the mind recognizes the
body the sense of ‘I’ is perceived.
Body
is a matter of cells, a mass of protoplasm, which biologically functions with
or without the mind. Is the mind really needed for the body to function? How
about animals? Do animals have mind? Are the animals functioning with the mind
or just with the body? If mind is something 100% needed for the body to
function than all animals even the smallest bacteria or viruses has mind. So if
the animals have mind, can they have emotions too?
Ok, Lets come back to humans.
Lets
come to an agreement. The body comes first, later the mind comes to be
identified with body and ‘I’ defined by the mind. So the ‘I’ cannot stand alone
without the mind or the body. The ‘I’ needs the mind and the body. The ‘I’
needs the mind to tell the body it is the ‘I’. So, who is this ‘I’?
Do
we really know when the mind starts it journey? Do we really know when the mind
starts to incorporate the body into it as one and as the ‘I’, which is
perceived by the mind? Is it
possible the mind knows nothing till it is thought? So who is the first culprit to teach the mind to identify
with the body and to perceive it as ‘I’? So who is the culprit to teach the
mind to identify itself with the given name?
Yes,
the thought arises and the mind given birth. The set of collection of thoughts
forms the mind. What are thoughts than? Is it the stimulus received by the body
creates thoughts? Is it possible for the thoughts to arise without the
stimulus? Is it possible to create a state of thoughtlessness with the entire
stimulus removed from the body? So, if the five senses in which the body
communicates with the surrounding removed, can the thought process stops? Would
elimination of the visual, hearing, taste, smell and touch inputs, stops the
brain from generating these thoughts? Is it possible for a man to have no thoughts without these
five senses? There are only two ways to live without all the senses, either by
cutting off the connections between the senses and the brain or take away the
organs that are responsible for generating senses. Is it possible for a man to have all the five senses and the
connections of the senses to his brain and still remain thoughtlessness? Is it
possible to achieve a state in which the thoughtlessness remains despite of
intact senses and the connections to the brain? The thoughtlessness stage or
mind would see the body as it is without identifying it as ‘I”. The state
itself would cease all the boundaries between the mind, the body and the ‘I’.
