Mind As An Engine:

Mind As An Engine:

In the past few days I had first hand experience and insights into how mind is not much different from matter ( physical body, objects) when it comes to getting “heated” up when overworked! It has to be put on a brief pause from time to time to regain its functionality.

This insight when extended to people besides oneself sheds valuable light on the awareness of why people sooner or later get tired of hearing someone’s rant or thoughts. Their mental engines get heated up. They may or may not be in a position to articulate this and turn off the offender in a courteous or diplomatic manner. 

It has actually provided a much needed lesson in mindfulness of others. 

What made this possible? 

Increasing light of consciousness! What else? 

How rudimentary is our understanding of consciousness! 

And when we can’t understand consciousness, how can we understand our mind?

If Mind is an engine, Consciousness is its basic fuel. 

The fuel content never changes no matter how much it is drawn upon. 

But the engine has functional and practical limits.
