Deep dives

The Universal Processes of the Mind

Our minds engage in various universal processes, such as worry, comparison, and problem solving. It is important to recognize that these processes are not personal to us, but rather inherent in the functioning of the mind. Just like we don't take it personally when a calculator gives us a specific number, we should approach our minds in the same way. Understanding the roots of these processes can help us realize that while they served a purpose in the past, they may not be useful or accurate in the present.
