Big mind, little mind
“It is the mind that makes one wise or ignorant, bound or emancipated.” – Sri Ramakrishna Zen distinguishes big mind from small mind. Big mind identifies with its process, is impersonal and participates universally. Big mind is unlimited possibilities, deeper understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, insight, connectedness, attention. Small mind is self centered and focuses only on itself. It is [...] [...]
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind?
Greetings. I wanted to kick this latest post off with the age-old adage, 'out of sight, our of mind.' It seems quite apparent that for most of us the mind exists solely within the confines of the sensory world. In other words, the mind, of which I cannot define for you, is reduced to the content of what one is aware of through their senses. In this regard it is utterly foolish to artificially [...]
Mind Power - The Greatest Computer
The greatest mystery in all of creation is the human mind. The late President of the United States, John F. Kennedy described man?s mind as ?the most extra-ordinary computer of all?. This evaluation is based on the complex nature and working mechanism of the mind. The brain which the mind uses is known by scientists to have over 10 billion neurons or nerve cells in the brain?s cerebral cortex, [...]
The Collective Mind Is A Superficial Mind.
Walking alone one has a sense of all things being alive and having no purpose other than being. There is no goal, no outcome, no way to the natural world. One may assume a goal, see an outcome or propose nature's way but it is only one's fleeting thoughts on the matter, nothing more. Life lies beyond the individual's grasp, beyond the ability of the mind to comprehend. Because the mind feels insecure in not knowing it creates meaning and boundaries where there simply are none. It then, the mind that is, [...]
Get it off your mind.
What is it about men? I know. That’s a ridiculously open question. One of the characteristics about most men (because I'm sure there's one or two out there who don't fall into this category) I find exasberating is if something is bothering them they let it sit on their mind saying, “I’ve got alot on my mind.” Yet, meanwhile they ACT as if something is bothering them and on their mind. It’s not fun to be around you, okay? Just spill it for God’s sake! Now, I’m stressed out trying to figure out [...]
Walking Without A Problem.
Walking today one could see how the mind operates as a problem solver. Whenever there is a conflict the mind steps in and attempts to solve it, straighten it out. A lot of times the cause of said conflict is the mind itself and yet it still goes out in search of the solution. One thing ought to be clear to all reading this post, the mind always operates in a state of fragmentation, duality. And [...]

Emancipation of an African Mind?
Here is a collection of some reflections which I found on the Web on this mind-boggling topic. And I thought I should share with you, my blog readers. From: Decolonizing the African Mind: Further Analysis and Strategy The central objective in decolonising the African mind is to overthrow the authority which alien traditions exercise over the African. This demands the dismantling of [foreign]... supremacist beliefs, and the structures which uphold them, in every area of African life. It must be stressed, [...]

Mind Over Matter: Does Job Status Affect Intelligence?
It is really quite amazing that to a large extent you are what you think you are. Self-help gurus have been touting this for years and have sold million of books with the message "change your mind--change your life." Hey, if we can't change our minds what can we change? Anyway, I do believe that the mind has a powerful affect on the body and I write about this in my book. There is a lot of research that supports this idea. One important aspect of the mind-body effect is how we percieve the world around us. [...]
