Do You MIND?

"The old gods are dead or dying and people everywhere are searching, asking : What is the new mythology to be, the mythology of this unified earth as one harmonious being?"
                                                                                                    Joseph Campbell

"Thumb looks like Little Grasshopper, no?"

It's fuuuneee you know how all weee dots take the MIND for granted. Throw off phrases like "Lost her mind", "Mind over matter", "Do you mind" and "It's all in the mind", are very common expressions that we tend to use without ever thinking what they actually mean. But that has all changed since Trigger Mystic Man came on the scene. Yep "someone out there" had to get to the bottom of this MIND thingie, and so we sent the Trigger Mystic Man out to investigate!
Weeeell, see there's this thingie.... No, hold on let's start again. When weee dots use the term 'mind' there is an implication that it (the mind) can be found in a particular time and place, a time and place that indeed man himself made up, right? OhK. Now the spatial place (the space bit) has always been assumed by weee genii to be in the head, and more specifically the brain. OhK. Now the temporal place (the time bit) that the mind has been connected with is supposedly the present moment within a single lifetime, right? OhK. Now this is where Mystic Man got a little lost. See, when weee dots get deaded then it follows that the brain gets deaded as well, huh? Right, and if the brain gets deaded when we get deaded then it is a reasonable assumption that the mind gets deaded right along with them. Hmmmmm....... Mystic Man confucious...

"How beautiful is it, huh?"

WROOOOONG. That interpretation is soooo wrong. The Western world is finally beginning to realise that there is "more to life". And our Eastern Mystics have been trying to tell us for millenia. For our mind is timeless, spaceless and immortal. A huuuuge spectrum of knowledge and it takes shape in another formless entity called the soul. And the "Big Daddy" of them all is our consciousness. Getting confucious, no? Hmmmm..... let's try Working Backwards and see if we can make it a little easier to comprehend. Close your eyes and IMAGINE (John Lennon would be proud of me!) just ONE entity, maybe even think solar system plus. Millions and millions of stars, separate but together as one entity. This is 'Universal' knowledge, or 'Universal' Oneness that some people refer to. It can be your higher power, or even God. But seeing that nobody knows what God looks like let's just think of millions of stars, because we can imagine that. Got the picture in your "MIND". OhK. Eyes still closed. Imagine one star. Focus on it in your "MIND". That one star is your soul. Aaah haaa. That soul has all of the unexplained knowledge you need so keep it separated in your "MIND". Then use the 'zoom' lens in your imagination and look right inside that one soul. What can you see, dot? Hmmmmm...... Don't know? Well inside that one soul, that individual soul, in fact YOUR soul, is THE MIND which has millions and millions of trillions (I call 'em trilmils!) of THOUGHTS wrapped up inside it. And like a ray gun it keeps firing all of these thoughts randomly into the spectrum, the original oneness that you imagined. So pretty simple really. Work backwards from the Big Kohuna. Consciousness consists of the soul which comprises the mind which creates the thoughts which CREATE every single iddy biddy l'il 'ole ONE of us.
Now if you were able to IMAGINE that then you can see that even though we separated those particular elements, in fact they were all ONE of the same consciousness. Everything, including you, including me, is ONE.....IMAGINE.......
