Deep dives

Understanding the Nature of the Mind

The mind is described as a complex field of energy, akin to an ocean, which individuals often struggle to perceive clearly when they are overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions. This confusion leads to what is termed 'clinging,' where people hold onto thoughts and experiences that keep them from seeing the broader picture. Much like trying to survive while drowning, individuals are caught up in the panic of their mental state and fail to recognize the true nature of their mind. Gaining perspective requires stepping back and distancing oneself from the tumult of ongoing thoughts to understand the mind's purpose and potential.
