The mind's structure



The mind's structure is one of two elements of the mind:
  1. Structure
  2. Content
The mind's content is the obvious expression that flows from the mind’s structure. The mind's structure is to the mind's content what the road-system is to our vehicles: It determines the flow of the traffic, or energy.
What should we want to master here ideally… content or structure? The structure obviously, since we always want to get to the bottom of things. My philosophy has always been to dedicate myself to get to the highest source of everything, so all lower levels and aspects will be mastered automatically, rather than gaining control over specific aspects one by one. However, it is not just a one way direction that we are dealing with here. Yes the mind’s content comes immediately from the mind’s structure; however, it is the content that through rehearsal and conditioning shapes the structure. It’s a constant correlation. That’s why we need to learn how to recognise both elements. 

So what exactly is the mind's structure?
It is the blueprint for the content that occupies your mind field. It’s the road-system that tells the traffic what pathways to follow. 

Imagine a smooth sandy surface somewhere on a beach. The surface is completely wrinkleless, it’s all smooth and it represents the mind field. Water can flow over this surface freely to wherever it desires to go. The water is completely free in this stage, only going there where the sea wants it to...
Now imagine the water becoming fixated and focussed on flowing through one specific path. This path will now be printed into the previously smooth surface just as it would when you repeat a certain pattern with your finger in the sand. At first the surface of the beach was pure mind field, but now there is a blueprint; a structure. Water is no longer allowed to move freely, energy is formed into patterns and these patterns express to the outside world as character, among other expressions.

The mind’s structure reaches deeper than merely character, but character is one of the most obvious expression that arises from the mind’s structure. In the end all thought-forms arise from this subconscious structure that now forms the basis of your mind. It is through this blueprint; through these specific channels that are unique for every individual (hence the character) that the energy which turns into thought-forms flows through.
