The mind is a storage of color and information.
And the body is the thing that you use to eat, breath and picking the nose.
The mind being a storage of color and information reminds me of various ideas that cognitive scientists have come up with. Here's an interesting one -
The Illusion Of The Self -An Interview with Bruce Hood
The guy go from guessing to guessing.
Sometime he may even come up with the right answer
but most the time the guessing get nowhere.
The only way to find out something is to search where the
answer lie and that place is within.
Quote:I use Eckhart Tolle's technique and, on very rare occasions, I've had a vivid experience of existing and being here but without any thoughts about it. On other rare occasions I manage to be aware of thoughts and images drifting through my head without getting caught up in them. I'm guessing that this is what you mean by the "I" which is the real person.
To get inside a place where the treasure lie it takes time
and a lot of effort.
After so many years that i live in a English speaking country i still make some mistakes here and there.
You would too if you would go to live in a country where a different language is spoken.
At the same time if you want to become expert in anything in life you got to practice all the time.
Sometime you feel that some interesting thing is coming from your mind
but it come and goes.
The only way to come and stay with you and get stronger and stronger is to be interested and feed that thought with love.
In the good and in the bad there is always reciprocation.
Quote:As yet there is no evidence that the "I" experience is more than something produced by the brain. The brain, meanwhile, is part of the body.
This is one more guessing.
The brain can not produce what is higher than him.
Remember this.........the I control the mind and the mind control the body NOT the other way around.
The brain allow the mind to function but the brain is a medium
like the soil is a medium for a plant to grow so let us not confuse the brain with the mind or the I.
Quote:The way I see it, all this talk about reincarnation and not needing to be born again etc. is just dogma. Why do you need to believe in it in order to experience the results of meditation?
You can do meditation without the need to believe in reincarnation but after sometime it all become clear and you understand how the system works.
