Dear Sir,
The mind is mysterious..the more we analyze it the less we know.
I wonder upon death how does the mind express itself?
Do thoughts actually need a neuronal network of a functioning brain to express itself or it can it function as an independent unit after death?
No idea!
Thoughts are waves...waves are meant to be pulsatile..brain waves on EEG itself has its pattern.
So a straight line pattern of a brain wave does not exist in the living.
So what is the control of the turbulent mind all about?
Is it setting it into "indifferent mode" or just witnessing the ups and downs of life from a different perspective as not to be influenced or affected by the multipolarity of life?
From my personal understanding I feel changes in the human body are cyclical/pulsatile/cicardian in nature.
Nature never intended us to be non responsive to any situation cos that would only spell extinction of species..there could be a possibility that we actually need not restrict our mind but learn to observe its functions and expressions.
The mind does not ever shut down or be still cos subconscious functions in the background.
Its learning to observe the patterns of the mind and interpreting it for the best outcome could be the way out instead of forcing ourselves to restrict every single thought.
For example...When I see a good looking man..I do not restrict my mind and tell myself "Dont look..dont think he is handsome..dont admire him...its wrong"...instead I tell myself "well there goes a handsome creature ..God surely did a good job designing him".
When we restrict our thoughts we create an imprint but when we let the thought traverse our mind..it simply exits without any residual effect.
Last but not least...easily said than done!LOL
Doctor,
Wonderful line of thinking. These are endless quries going on for generations but difficult to get answers. When we analyse thoughts, the question of "who is the that thinker who directs the process ?" occurs. Science could not get a convincing answer so far.
Let us continue our search .........
