EXPLAIN HOW YOUR MIND WORKS!

Post Reply New Topic

My mind is something that constantly hears its own noise, blasting away in the confusion like a machine gun.... and though it tries to quieten this discomfort it only finds in doing so makes more and more noise.

My mind is like a runner on a endless track called "Life" and there’s no stopping for breaks on this race... just endless thoughts thinking "how did I get here? Why do I have to run?" repeating again and again until I finally fall over.

My mind doesn't think happiness is really that important . It thinks its a con-trick used to make species feel very obliged to reproduce, kill enemies, fill their guts with food, search for the "greener grass" on the other side, find a small apartment to file themselves away into a respected life and at all costs never say "why" when feeling good.
( dont get me wrong I still have fun... I just dont think it should be the overall meaning to my life )


My mind doesn’t really have a side when It comes to morals... every argument has about 348 sides and to be honest I think its going to take my whole life to figure out what people think is right anyway.

My mind is still the same overall serious and truthful five year old it started as.

Well that was fun.

Gurdjieff said something like "the mind is like a carriage"... there are the horses, the driver, and the passenger. When you are talking about your mind moving "too fast," who is it that is saying that? The driver, or the passenger. Perhaps your driver must get the horses under control? Maybe the driver is pushing the horses, and the passenger must get the driver under control?

What if there is more than one carriage?

We have so much to think about and so little time to think it.

Inability to filter stuff (thoughts, sensations, etc.) out is a big problem for me. I feel like I'm being bombared by stuff. I have a poor filter. Focusing on my narrow interests gives me some relief.
