To that I would add it is a combination of the three chakras, located in the throat, or rational analytical reasoning energy, the brow or intuitive, perceptive and receptive energy, and the crown, which is the expansive energy which reaches out into other worlds. Nothing wrong in seeing it as a simple electro mechanical chemical and magnetic evolutionary construction, of course.<br />To a Buddhist it might be something that only perceives what is not real. Like in the Matrix movies perhaps? So that's why I was supporting resistance to the "Occupation of the Mind"<br />But I like to see it as a gift from God, which allows us the means of free will and a way out of this artificial reality.Man From Atlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564058987138711708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-61245734524798513612009-11-21T21:58:35.435-05:002009-11-21T21:58:35.435-05:00Naseer, how do you define the Mind?

Being centred is being one with God, it's the only place any one of us can think and feel clearly but most of us have lost God and the strength to keep centred so we look for guidance elsewhere...and what we are really doing is trying to find God again. I must say though, even in finding God life does not become a piece of cake, in fact the struggle for balance and taking full responsibility for one's life and for one's loved ones is a HUGE job, albeit utterly fulfilling.<br />Love,<br />ChaieomieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-13752646317933986012009-11-16T11:00:00.164-05:002009-11-16T11:00:00.164-05:00Very nice blog you have here.

So you see some exploit this need. This is so wide spread across the world and it is heightened when there is a play on emotions especially fear. Notice how many politicians use fear to get all their agendas across, even scientists and religious fanatics. <br /><br />The problem lies not in finding something greater than you are to cling to or follow rather not basing your beliefs and thoughts on a rational system, nothing should be accepted at face value and all should be assimilated and understood.realisticbirdhttp://www.realisticbird.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-47663351765327853662009-11-16T05:00:51.038-05:002009-11-16T05:00:51.038-05:00There's nothing I can disagree with here. This...There's nothing I can disagree with here. This is absolutely brilliant. And intellectually stimulating to a high degree. <br /><br />Your point that the scientific fundamentalists — Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens spring to mind — are even more dangerous and do more harm than the religious fundamentalists, is well made. <br /><br />Not a day goes by when a new scientific "expert" isn't rolled out on TV to tell the zombified masses what they must do or not do to survive<br /><br />One day, for example, an "expert" will suggest you drink red wine because it will help you in some way, and the day after that another expert is warning you about all the dreadful chemicals in red wine and warning you: "Watch out for your kidneys!" <br /><br />The aim is to create total confusion. One who admits to utter bewilderment in the face of so many conflicting "facts", is, in effect, saying: "Give me guidance! Please indoctrinate me."<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Xanadunoreply@blogger.com
