What is Mind?

Very interesting posts in The Students of Mind Pod at zaadz . Here is mine.

There are many ways of looking at this question as the above posts reveal. Purely from physical and human perspective mind is often equated with brain - the apparatus. But if we observe our thoughts…many things land in our consciousness or brain at random without conscious thinking on our part.

Brain seem to be in many ways a receiver/transmitter of thoughts (stream of consciousness)  much like a radio captures radio-waves and transmitts them in different bands/channels. Brain is also capable of functioning at different level. Here comes different levels of mind and consciousness and perception. All questions can be answered at diffrent levels of perception.

Brain also functions like a computer in storing memories (like hardware) or creating reality images according to habitual perception/beliefs/attitudes/expectations (work like software) from the pure unified field of energy or mind-matter.

In exploring what is Mind holistically…if we probe deeply we naturally need to move from outside-physical to more inward non-physical and finally unified Consciousness-Energy realms. In energy realms at the level of quantum physics there is no inner and outer, the separation between observer and observation fades….all is part of unified  universal quantum field. The whole human body and not just brain is part of this unified field.

A greater perception of human -mind is the entire bio-energy or electromagnetic field that surrounds our body..our aura. Our skin is a very sensitive sensor of energy..we get vibes of a place, person or event in distant place or time all the time. We just are not conscious of them. Our phsychic, clairvoyant, telepathic, intutive abilities also come from being immersed in this unified field.  When we talk about spirit-mind-body connection or alignment or developing intuition along with rational we are trying to create a unified mind that can connect with unified field to consciously evolve our mind-body to its fullest potential. Journey to mind is a fascinating adventure to self-discovery.
