Understanding the Concept of Losing Your Mind: Exploring the Mind’s End
The phrase 'losing your mind' is often used metaphorically to describe a state of confusion, frustration, or even madness. However, the question remains: is it possible to lose your mind in a literal sense?
The Literal and Literal Interpretations
Indeed, it is possible to lose your mind in a literal sense, but such a state usually refers to severe mental conditions. The term 'losing one's mind' has its roots in mental health studies dating back to the 1500s. Many mental health issues can be attributed to a temporary loss of reason, such as schizophrenia, sociopathic tendencies, and narcissistic tendencies, as well as everyday 'mind fog.'
In a broader sense, one can lose the ability to reach the mind, which is always present but can sometimes drift away due to various factors. This concept is explored through the metaphorical escape route 'General of the Mind Escape Commission.'
A Journey Through the Pathways of the Mind
The diagram mentioned portrays two sides of the mind: the verbal thinking mind and the silent mind. The verbal thinking mind, which is our conscious awareness, is continually evolving. The silent mind, on the other hand, represents a state of rest or meditation. By gradually reducing the brain's operating frequency, one can descend into the 'basement' of the mind.
The brain's operating frequencies, ranging from 0.5 to 4 Hz in delta, are associated with a state of deep sleep. These frequencies are similar to those used in meditation, where one aims to achieve a restful state. Both sleep and meditation share the same path, suggesting a simplicity in the mind's pattern where pathways are interconnected.
Meditation leads to a state where the mind disappears completely, returning from a place where no memory is retained. This process can be compared to the verbal thinking mind bouncing off its walls without a way out, indicating a lack of awareness of the silent mind side of oneself.
The Dangers of Losing Your Mind
Discovering the silent mind and spending time in its spaces can help regain control over one's thoughts. However, there are potential dangers, especially for those new to exploring the silent mind, such as the rise of subconscious thoughts and the manifestation of subconscious tendencies or Smaskaras (hidden emotions).
The final danger lies in the synthetic consciousness that can arise when the verbal thinking mind is shut down. This consciousness is influenced by the vibrating environment created by the infrastructure of modern cities, which is exposed to constant ultrasound and tonal modulations due to radio frequency interference from various technological signals.
Understanding these concepts can help individuals navigate the complexities of their minds and potentially solve problems that stem from mental states. Embracing the road map of the thinking mind and adding to it can contribute to personal evolution and the advancement of the thinking mind as a whole.
