How many minds do we have?
We don't have any, because the 'we' is a mental construct. Or lets say that the 'me' is a thought. The thought is a mental construct or is 'of' the mind. So at least there is mind. Or Mind IS.
We have a mind, says mind. One has to accept this reality, if one believes, that reality is always outside of mental confirmation, or a mental construct. Or else, mental constructs are pure imaginations or hallucinations.Life functions that way. Or we can say, life plays itself that way. Life is 'Gamer'. Its too powerful. As powerful as 'God'. So one can't take it to task, like an accused in the court.
So what is mind? Space where thoughts arise, would be a thoughtful answer. Seems so. We accept that as reality. The space where thoughts arise seems to be limited to ones body, as if it's not shared by another thinking mind. But many a time, when you think of some one, some one could think of you, as if the same thought is touching two or more people at a time. Like yawning, is not personal. Its impersonal. We brush this aside as a co-incidence. However, all is a co-incidence or none at all. Life cant work any other way.
But let's say, thinking mind is our psyche. It makes feels a person to the body. That's its game. I think, therefore I am. But the truth is ( if there is one ), "I think I am, God exists." 'Stephen Jourdian' was more accurate than 'Descartes' in that aspect. I am sure that both were sure of what they felt. That makes three of us, and the rest too.
But there is a need to get down to the basics. How do we know, what we know? By aliveness. By Life, or whatever. So since the hardware called body is not the instrument to know, and 'life' to the body, or the psyche, is what knows, we can term this 'intelligence' or potential, as the MIND. In capital. Its always more that the thinking mind. The Mind produces the 'mind' of the thought. We can also say that the thinking mind, is inclusive in the Knowing MIND. The Universe is the Knowing MIND. It knows itself.
What do we mean by Knowing mind or MIND. Its the space in which there is a knowing of all that there seems to be. Shapes and colours, smell, touch, sound etc etc, the five of them, the emotions, the pleasure the pain, the love and the hate, and whatever one can know. So MIND is a potential or life is the basis, that a knowing happens. There could absence of content to knowing, but never an absence to the knowing faculty itself. Even in death there would be a knowing of no content, but sadly, memory that makes the notion of a 'knower' will not come into play in the space of 'no content', as knower is an object or content, and the subject of which is the potential to know, or knowing as a 'verb'.
So the knowing mind, simply is that which knows what is happening. This cant be experienced, unless the mind develops a split to know itself. To experience is to understand. To understand is to split what is happening into an experiencer and the experienced. A 'me' and the world of objects. So the tool to grasp is generated. The thinking mind, the imagining mind or the grasping mind. There is measurement to know, as if object of knowing, or 'the grasp'. Opposites come into play. Comparison through memory arises. a programme to grasp is developed. Presences and absences need to be grasped. An absence cannot be grasped, unless it's made into a presence, by naming them in opposite. And a presence in separation, cannot be grasped, unless it is backgrounded by another contrast like space, that is basically a neutral absence. What is happening, is ever changing and cannot be grasped, unless in the background of stillness or 'Time" that is eternal, but imagined as a constant measure of change, that is a constant, or unchanging. So all this play occurs in the apparent small mind, making feel, as if individual to the body.
However, the small mind is an expression of the Big mind or MIND, and can be called off any time, by itself, as if by grace. If and when this happens, your experience will shift firm the small mind status to the Big MIND status, which is basically not an experience, but Life itself, a non-experience that is still in the knowing.
So hang on in difficult times, by knowing yourself to be the KNOWING potential, rather than the limited 'self' or the thinking mind, that is simply a notional. Just let what is happening, happen. You are simply the basis or the experiencing of it all, as Life or Infinite as the 'Potential' of knowing. All matter is non matter or only 'knowing' material, that is psychic. So hang on, just be.
