Mindfulness or Mindlessness?

RE: Mindfulness or Mindlessness?
(August 26, 2021 at 8:25 pm)Ahriman Wrote: Maybe we should start thinking in terms of how useful our thoughts really are......perhaps most thoughts are stupid and useless. Of course, that could just be my own mind expressing itself. But I really feel like thoughts are strange things, which ought to be ignored. If you should have a thought that actually seems intelligent, it should be recorded, in some form, as soon as possible.

Dreams are much more important than thoughts, in terms of indicators of the inner workings of one's mind. Dreams should be recorded, ideally in a dream journal. Freud had it right with the dream analysis stuff.......given more time to come to fruition, dream analysis could've very well proved to be an indispensable part of modern psychiatry.

Interesting thoughts.  Thanks.  Smile

A key aspect of human development is 'Controlled Environment'.  Consciousness as a governance/monitoring system helps support this control.

The "undiscovered country" as far as governance control are concerned ... yup... dreams.  

Could dream-control indeed be the next level of consciousness?  

And then there's the relationship between dreams and Cheese

It doesn't have a name yet.
