Understanding Mind
The mind is nothing but a collection of memories of experiences. Memory implies repetition. In much simpler language, the foundation of the mind is memory itself.
Now, let us understand with examples how this applies.
For example, if you feel heat only once, you experience it, right? But if that very same experience never repeats itself, would knowing it even be possible? Yet, in reality, we know heat very well, and that is where the mind comes into play. Because the mind is the collection of that experience of heat, recognizing the same experience becomes effortless. From this, we can see how important the mind is to us. Because of the mind, we are able to know things. If the mind does not exist, knowing does not exist either. This is the reason why it is said that what existence is experiencing is the mind itself. Without this ability to retain and repeat memory, it would not be possible for existence to exist in the form it currently does. Existence could exist without the mind, but not in its present form.
Therefore, the current state of the mind is itself a part of existence, which reveals itself in the form of memory. From this, we can also see that the mind gives meaning to everything. Because everything repeats, we can technically call these repetitions truth.
You can try this yourself: apply this definition—that the mind is nothing but a collection of memories of experiences—to everything you experience in your life, and see for yourself how much truth it holds. However, one key point to note carefully is that existence could exist in other ways as well. A one-time experience is still an experience, but it would be far more meaningless and far too strange to comprehend.
This definition can be divided into many forms. These forms will help you better understand the framework of the mind and how it works. There is also a supreme mind, which is referred to simply as the Mind itself, types of mind:
* Human mind
* Universal mind
* Gurufield mind
* Causal body mind
* Mental mind
* Dimensional mind
The Human Mind
The human mind is divided into many layers, but primarily into three main layers:
* Environment or Surroundings: This consists of the collections of memories and experiences that we perceive outside of our body, or which we do not consider to be a part of our physical body. Examples: trees, cars, outer space, and other surrounding entities.
* Body: This encompasses every physical part of the human form—literally everything from the skin, bones, and internal organs to the brain itself.
* The Mental Mind: This is the center where we feel most concentrated. This dimension of the mind consists of various cognitive abilities, including thinking, imagination, understanding, intelligence, and self-awareness.
The Universal Mind
The Universal Mind is simply a collection of every shared experience that is interconnected—spanning from universes to other dimensions, and beyond. Essentially, it represents the much bigger picture, within which the individual human mind is also contained.
It functions like an expanded, vast memory system—much like comparing an old PC model to a modern, high-performance computer. In fact, even the very model and evolution of the computer itself fall under the scope of this Universal Mind.
Gurufield Mind
The Gurufield Mind is the collection of memories and experiences of highly intellectual beings—or entities—within the Universal Mind. Note that while it exists within the scope of mind, it operates somewhat distinctly from the Universal Mind. There can be many universal minds, but currently, there is only one gurufield Mind.
This mind exists in this realm primarily through and because of knowledge. Its chief purpose is to provide guidance, wisdom, and knowledge to anyone seeking direction in life—it works for everyone without exception. While there are various ways to connect with this mind, the simplest and most effective approach is to establish a connection with someone who is already aligned with it.
Causal Body Mind
The Causal Body Mind is the realm where a being's desires are stored. Whatever your desires may be—whether good or bad—they reside within this mind. This factor is the driving force of your life; your existence and direction are determined by the causal body. It is easy to observe this even right now. Isn't your life made possible through your desires? Remove your basic desire to breathe, for instance, and we all know what happens.
Mental Mind
The Mental Mind is a private mind that others cannot directly observe—it is accessible only to its owner. Much like how a phone belongs exclusively to its user, the owner of a mental mind can choose to share its contents with others if they wish, just as one shares information from a phone.
Dimensional Mind
The Dimensional Mind is the framework in which an entire ecosystem exists. For example, the ocean represents a specific dimension for aquatic life, whereas length, breadth, and height define the dimension for humans and other terrestrial creatures. However, the concept of the dimensional mind goes far beyond just physical dimensions.
The dimension we currently inhabit is known as the death dimension, because everything that exists here is bound to perish eventually. Higher-dimensional beings can perceive lower dimensions, but it is generally impossible for lower-dimensional entities to see into higher ones. This is similar to how humans can venture into the ocean, but fish cannot survive on land. Crossing these dimensional boundaries is possible through certain mechanisms, which fall under the realm of science—or, in ancient spiritual terminology, tantra (such as using an aquarium or oxygen apparatus to enable underwater life to survive on land).
