Human Mind

There are three major layers of the human mind:

* Feeling-based

* Intelligence-based

* Awareness-based

1) Feeling-based – This base layer is one of the heaviest layers found in the human mind. The majority of our actions come from this layer. This layer is so heavy that it even dethrones the intelligence-based layer.

A person who is completely controlled by this layer is someone who looks like a person chasing after pleasures or something that feels good. Even a person who works hard and is seen as a highly disciplined person doesn't mean that person doesn't have this layer. Because the very reason for discipline is some kind of goal, and most goals give us some kind of relief. So, even if a person is disciplined, that person can still be under the control of this layer, because a peace of mind is also a kind of feeling which I call a false peace. Even the dominant parts of society—your so-called elite people of society—generally fall under this base layer. They are the ones who simply know how to become powerful in society, but that power comes from sheer control by this layer. You can see that even those big-pocket people are still running behind small things. Small things like rich cars, sex, beauty, false peace of mind, showoff, and controlling poor people.

They might be powerful in society, but they are simply being controlled by this layer.

This layer also has a heavy clutch on criminals because it works heavily on our emotions. Criminals, for the most part, are emotional beings. Even if they don't show it, the very reason for their crime is because of emotions or pleasures. The main reason is because they want quick, easy, and as-soon-as-possible access to those feelings.

You can now see that the majority of the population shows these signs. Everyone who is doing any kind of action has feelings or some kind of false peace of mind behind it. They think if they achieve something they will feel fulfilled, which is not the case. The actual case is that they do such things not because of peace, but because of pleasures which give them a temporary feel of peace.

2) Intelligence-based layer – This layer is present in everyone, even in those controlled by the feeling-based layer, but it simply doesn't have much effect on those people because feelings take over control. A heavy effect of this layer can be seen in people like inventors and creative artists—those who discover something new or are trying to discover something new. They generally try to discover something that does not already exist in the current world. These types of people have their own topics and subjects. One example is Sir Isaac Newton. He created his own subject. They don't follow any system; they create their own system. This layer has a heavy effect on artists too, because the majority of the time, artists like to create their own world through their imagination, which isn't seen by anyone else. The majority of artists want to create something new in their field.

These types of people generally don't mix with the normal population. They don't like to start a conversation that has no merit or any kind of knowledge in it.

If you talk to them, you will see that even if a conversation starts between you and them, they will eventually steer that conversation back to their own topic.

3) Awareness-based – The above two layers can be seen in the entire population; it's just that some are heavily controlled by the feeling-based layer and a few are driven by the intelligence-based layer. But in the awareness-based layer, it is a completely different story. This layer cannot be seen in the majority of the population. It is completely undeveloped in them—not just having less effect, but completely absent. In the history of this world, very few people have reached this level.

People like Jesus Christ, Krishna, Osho, Buddha, Tarun Pradhan, and Jiddu Krishnamurti—these people have completely achieved this layer.

That is why many of us call them God. You can see how powerful a being can be who achieves such a layer, because even many religions started because of them. Their teachings are accurate; they pinned down the concept of awareness. Awareness has many names—oneness, being present, silence, completeness.

It's just sad that people understand their teachings so wrong. In many of their teachings, you can connect the dots. Each of them points towards your inner self—your inner state of oneness. But it is just sad that people ask them stupid questions. People even pray to them for such stupid reasons. What are these stupid reasons? "Please help me and make my wish come true." Such a stupid thing to ask. They are part of the Guru field. As I said in a previous post, you can simply pray to the Guru field or to those who become one with that power. So you can pray to them, but instead of praying for your life to become easy, pray for removing your ignorance. Ask them for guidance on what is best for you.

Example: "My greetings to the divine Buddha, show me guidance. Do what is best for me."

This is the best you can ask: Do what is best for me, or remove my ignorance. Remove your ignorance and you will also achieve this state. Just through the knowledge of oneness, this layer starts forming in your being's mind. And the more you repeat this knowledge, the more strongly this layer will build in your being's memory.

The end of this layer is awareness. Only awareness left. What is it? Simply being present this is how simple it is. But to reach this simple thing a being have to gone through various walls. It depends on being ignorance to achieve the final state of simply being present. Only awareness left in end.

    Does removing ignorance and reaching awareness feel like something you've experienced?

    I've spent time in spiritual communities. People serious about practice still buy cars, fall in love, get irritated at traffic. They've developed a different relationship to feelings, but they're not past the feeling-based layer. Your hierarchy tends to make 'progress' mean detachment.

    You're right that most people are driven by emotion over reflection. But the three-layer model doesn't match neuroscience. The 'awareness layer' (meditation or dissociation) as a permanent developmental stage most never reach: that's a much bigger claim than evidence supports.

    If awareness is so transformative, why are their followers still trapped in the feeling layer? What's the mechanism that would unlock it in others?

    This is spiritual gatekeeping. The awareness layer is so vague (just 'present,' 'oneness,' 'silence') that it's unfalsifiable. Anyone who disagrees is 'still controlled by feelings.' You've built a frame where you can never be wrong, which is the opposite of clear thinking.

    The part about elite people chasing cars and sex reads harsh. Status stuff can be hollow, sure, but plenty of driven people are also curious and working on real things.

    Did Jesus, Krishna, Buddha actually describe the mind in this three-layer structure, or are you reading that into their work? What texts show they taught this hierarchy?

  • occams_chainsaw

    The three layers are clearly entangled, not discrete. You say discipline comes from feeling-based because goals give relief, but that's just saying humans want outcomes. What's the evidence that awareness-based consciousness is distinct from intelligence at scale?

  • Does anyone actually care about your watch?

    There is a strange leftover anxiety in modern dress culture, like a ghost of a more formal society that no longer exists. We all still behave as if every visible detail is being quietly graded. The watch is one of the clearest examples of this illusion. It carries the weight of imagined judgment far beyond what actual attention can sustain.

  • Should you really be drinking raw milk?

    I think a person who sleeps well, lifts regularly, eats decent food, goes outside, and keeps real social ties is doing some of the most evidence-supported things available for long-term health. I have noticed that a surprising number of people learned that from communities that also push raw milk, seed-oil paranoia, and other nonsense. The problem is not that medicine is wrong. The problem is that medicine left a prevention gap, and the cranks moved in.

  • Shouldn't cultural criticism go both ways?

    I had one of those big-tech team dinners. The conversation turned to how people met their partners. A few of my Indian coworkers talked about arranged marriage, family involvement, and how much more normal it is in India for marriage to be treated as a family matter and not just a private romantic choice. That part is ok, different cultures and all. It was interesting to see their perspective, even though I wouldn't share it. The problem started when one of them stopped describing the custom...

  • Does atheism make you more rational, or just leave a void you fill badly?

    One of the common atheist temptations is to confuse unbelief with clarity, to assume that religion is the irrational part, so removing religion must leave behind a cleaner and more rational human being. But human beings do not work that way, human beings operate through beliefs, emotions... We do not stop wanting ritual, purity, moral tribe, sense of sacredness or transcendent meaning just because we stop using religious language for those desires.

  • If you're not a billionaire, why do you vote like one?

    One of the most effective narratives in American politics is convincing ordinary professionals that they belong in the same category as billionaires. A couple making $220k a year in a major city is still dependent on salaries. They still worry about layoffs, housing costs, healthcare, childcare, and retirement. They cannot buy political influence. They cannot move markets. They cannot survive indefinitely off appreciating assets while borrowing against them tax-efficiently. They are not living…

  • Can AI make you lose your mind, and are you more at risk if you doubt it?

    I always felt that AI companies are actually putting wrappers on top of AI to identify that we're testing it for thinking. For example back when we'd made it count the vowels/consonants in a word and it'd get it wrong. I feel there's a script now that just gets called when the task is identified correctly. I also feel that it gets trained on these memes. Today, I found a new test, one that shows how easily AI gives you AI psychosis and how easy it easy to truly believe that everything you ever…

  • Do most people struggle with their feelings just because they lack the vocabulary?

    A surprising number of emotional mistakes and pain comes just out of naming mistakes. Someone says he is angry when he is really ashamed. Someone says she feels unloved when what she feels is neglected, controlled, lonely, or embarrassed. Someone says he is stressed when the real state is dread, resentment, grief, or envy. Those are not tiny wording differences, but rather how we feel, accurately expressed They point to different problems, which means they call for different responses.

  • Do you really need to have an opinion on everything?

    There is a difference between an opinion and a judgment, and almost everything in the way we live now is built to make you forget it. An opinion is what you can produce in four seconds when someone asks. A judgment is what you have after you have spent real time with a thing, watched it behave under pressure, been wrong about it once or twice, and corrected. The first is nearly free. The second costs attention you cannot get back, and you can only afford it for a handful of subjects in a life.…
