YOUR MIND - NUMB AND DUMB!

Your mind is like a super computer, right? Ziiggggggzaaggggingggg, continuously processing data. Data that comes from our 5 senses:

Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch.

Oops, I forgot the sixth sense.

Our intuition.

What does it do with all this data?

-Run it through our intelligence unit,
-compare it with the generically acceptable norms,
-filters the data according to the personal taste, temperament and attributes, and then
-presents it in two modes: verbal, and action. Correct?

Result: Our feelings. Feelings of content, frustration, pride, anger, sorrow, worry, happiness, etc. This defines our ‘mood’. Mood, aka mode. Whoaaa!!!! I just described the most complex scientific phenomenon of our brain in the most technical verbology and format (notice the spacing ;). I should change my profession. Technical writer it is!!!!!

Anyways, let’s talk about controlling this process. What part of the above can be controlled? And should it be controlled?

Data collection: Totally factual. Objective. No control needs to be exercised.
Intelligence testing: Again, an inherited and custom-developed processing unit, alteration not possible.
Comparison: Optional. At the discretion of the user. But, often unavoidable, in most circumstances.
End-result: CONTROL, huh????

Again, controlling amounts to ‘suppression’, and not controlling amounts to ‘stupidity’. Language, being the most powerful expression tool. Language, thoughts, influenced through perception and your own individualized self-image.

If you have noticed, we are more susceptible to a certain train of thoughts than the other. Some, we are able to ignore and not get as affected, while the others stir stomach-churning emotions in us and make us weak and vulnerable.

And there are certain ideas, desires, or let’s say even ambitions, that have built over years not because you really want to achieve them, but have developed unconsciously in your mind purely through outside influence, parents, peers, society, etc.

Does this make any sense to you? Does it seem disjointed, this above line of thoughts? Exactly, my point. We are disjointed most of the times. Clarity is what most of us lack. The road ahead of us is blurred to us coz we are painting our glasses the color we don’t like. Lack of vision leads to confusion, indecisiveness, conflicts within ourselves, conflicts within our ideals and feelings, pure chaos in the little head above our fragile neck.

I hope. I hope that there will be a day, that will dawn so beautifully, with the most lovely hues of the color palette adorning the sky. The rays will glisten the blades on the grass, and I will put down my fancy sun glasses and learn to see with my own eyes. I will be me, I will be myself.
