No correction here.
I heard a visiting preacher say to another TV preacher, "We move in the
mind of God". The other preacher tried to distort this simple literal
statement of fact into a guilt/power trip by saying, You mean that once we
accept Jesus as our saviour, THEN we move in the mind of God" The first
preacher looked a bit pained and said "Yea, that's it" [It's your show, I'm
not here to steal your thunder and I know it's pointless to argue with a
made up mind]
Ponder the application of a blend of holographic and fractal effect where
from apparent divisions in consciousness can arise according to point of
view. Examine apparent divisions in ones own personal awareness and
extrapolate into greater realms...as above , so below.
Imagine that you could project your consciousness into a hologram, then
forget you did it. From the original point of view, you would know that
it's just a light show, but from the experiential point of view, you could
actually bruise your leg on a holographic table and it WOULD hurt.
Why does dissociation [via hypnosis etc.] eliminate pain?
If all separation of mind is an appearance and there are no "real"
divisions...how can one not BE what one is not separate from?
Obviously, there is much misidentification of self happening in this
universe.
Focus has more to do with not seeing every thing else than it does seeing
one thing clearly. It's a useful tool in it's own context but says little
about reality.
IMO, the brain works like a good radio, filtering out all but one channel
from billions...providing focus to this landscape of ideas. All the senses
are tools to help the brain verify that one channel.
The function of the brain is to pick out patterns from chaos and have
them verified by the senses in a feedback loop style...thus, a cohesive
reality is created by denial of all else. Absolute chaos and absolute
order are the same thing. The Alpha IS the Omega.
If the senses and the opinions formed from the incoming data were
accurate, one would never change their minds about anything or see anything
differently. Most refuse to anyway by eliminating conflicting data from
consciousness. Perhaps individualism is but a denial of communication where
a strongly individualistic person has but limited their points of view by
exclusion and developed what might be called a "well focussed identity".
But such an identity must always be defended. If it must be defended, it
can't be said to be secure. Unfortunately, the most common defence is an
attack. "I can only be right if someone else is wrong and I must be right
or I am not me"...on a personal/community/theologic/national scale...and "I
know" is really "I'm afraid to admit how little I know, so , you must be
stupid"
"I cannot be who I think I am. If I am, my mind must never change
because if it did..I was never who I thought I was."
Time to think again, ey?
The individuals mind and the greater mind of God are one and the same.
It is the greater mind of God taking an individual point of view. It is
done by using ideas of space and time, believing those ideas to be the
grand total of reality and verifying that belief with the tools invented
and formed for that purpose...by that one mind "seen as" many.
Nothing can exist 'as real' without creating artificial divisions, but,
there are entities who know they are doing it. They are not trapped by
their self erected limitations...nor do they feel guilty about playing in them.
God is but the completely undefended self sans all barriers. The mind
that includes all ideas.
The instant you completely forget who and what you think you are and drop
all the defences designed to validate those ideas.....such as 'being' a body...
There are no limits to experience and bodies are but useful tools. You
will find that you have as many as you want to serve whatever purpose you
desire.

It is a jab at the scientist's viewpoint that concousness (the mind) is

more than a biochemical process of the brain. Thus the mind is in the

forth, it
is apparent that conciousness is separate from the brain and continues to
exist
even after the death of the brain.
It also can refer to the generalization that all physical matter including the
brain can be considered nothing more than a materialization from the etheric,
where the mind resides, whether we are speaking of an individual's mind,
or the
greater mind of God.
Correct me if I am wrong Coyote.
