What is the mind? Why are the mind and its mental processes so important? What is the thinking aspect of the human being? Who is the thinker? Who are the children of the Mind?

The mind could be defined as the fifth principle, the effect of electricity, that which produces cohesion, the key to the fifth kingdom of nature, the synthetic vibration of five rays of energy, the intelligent will or the purpose of an existence.

The mind manifests itself in three ways in the universe:

1. Cosmic.
2. From the point of view of the solar system.
3. In relation to a human being.

Man, in its fundamental essence, is the superior triad manifesting itself in a way that gradually evolves, the egoic or causal body, and uses the lower triple personality as a means of contact with the three lower planes. All this has the purpose of developing the perfect self-consciousness. Above the triad is the Monad or Father in Heaven - a point of abstraction when man contemplates it from the physical plane, for whom the Monad occupies the position of the Absolute, in the same sense that the undifferentiated Logos is in regard to the Trinity, the three Persons of the logoic manifestation. The parallel is exact.

1. The monad. A thought adjuster.
2. The Divine Triad: spiritual will, intuition and higher mind.
3. The selfish or casual body, sanctuary of the Buddha principle. This body is built with the power of the mind, being the manifestation of the three.
4. The triple lower nature, the densest points of objectivity.
5. The triple lower nature is, in essence, a quaternary: etheric vehicle, animating life or prana, kama-manas and lower mind. Manas or fifth principle constitutes the link between the inferior and the superior.

The mind constitutes individuality or the spiritual I, in the aspect of the upper Triad, and the personality or emotional I, in the aspect of the lower Triad. The mind represents the axis of the human structure or the center in which the spiritual and material part of a human being revolve. A thinker is an incipient creator who manages power in order to make the mental forms created by him emerge.

Due to the complexity of the subject and the interest because it is understood, I will follow an inductive reasoning, going from the particular to the general, from man to the cosmos.

THE PROCESSES

Thinking means thinking reflection . The human being began to think when he acquired consciousness and language to express the continuity of his thoughts. By creating the symbols, he also created his need to advocate, capture and execute from the inside out, and record that his thinking could be transmitted from one to the other; First this was verbal, then it was written.

Cognition includes perception, emotion and action: the whole vital process. In the human kingdom, cognition also includes language, conceptual thinking and all other attributes of human consciousness. The brain is a specific structure through which this process operates. The relationship between mind and brain is thus a relationship between process and structure.

Since cognition is defined as the process of knowledge, it is important to describe the mental process in terms of the organism's interactions with its environment.

Basic Processes :

Consisting of six elementary operations: observation, comparison, relationship, simple classification, ordering and hierarchical classification and three integrative processes: analysis, yes. synthesis and evaluation. These processes are fundamental pillars on which the construction and organization of knowledge and reasoning are supported.

Superior processes

Complex procedural structures of high level of abstraction such as management processes: planning, supervision, evaluation and feedback, executives, knowledge acquisition, and discernment.

Learning Processes:

Through observation, the human being obtains data that he then relates to his previous knowledge and transforms them into traces that constitute memories of what he perceives. These traces are what give rise to patterns and thinking patterns that can be applied in the acquisition and use of new knowledge.

Learning becomes a metacognitive process that includes two basic types of change: Assimilation or analysis and accommodation, synthesis, formation of complex concepts from the m It's simple.

Three main results of learning, thoughts, works and actions intervene both in the processes of synthesis that converts them into procedures, knowledge or behaviors, as in those of analysis, which transforms them through chains of associations and automatisms in skills and talents.

The main process of acquiring knowledge, conceptualization, is carried out mainly in the concrete mind, where they are transformed through intermediate concepts, into positive thinking, thanks to the dynamic circuit Active doctor also known as the s himself or I am. Metacognition degrades most of the concepts to the understanding, a result that can be used as a symbol to form many different meanings.

The LIDER circuit is activated when the three glands: pineal, pituitary and rhyme, begin to work together and in harmony. It is distributed in the nine areas of the brain, works in conjunction with the glands, which need it to know where, when and why the thought crystals should be located in this or that area . These crystals will be distributed throughout the circuit so that the material, mental and mental energy are fed correctly, and also so that the right and left sides of the brain align in a balanced way.

The acquisition of the potential for the ability to learn from experience signals the beginning of the functioning of helper spirits. The assistants are the source and the original model for the behavior of the Intelligence. They contribute to the development of intelligence on seven levels. 1. Intuition. 2. Understanding 3. Value. 4. Knowledge 5. Advice. 6. Worship. 7. Wisdom.

The helpers function exclusively in the evolution of the experiential mind, up to the level of the sixth phase, the spirit of worship. (From another point of view, it would be said that worship is the seventh level and wisdom the first). Wisdom uses the coordination of all past experiences and present opportunities for the acquisition of the totality of each thing that the other six mental servants can mobilize in the mind of the corresponding organism. Wisdom is the peak of intellectual realization. Wisdom is the goal of purely mental and moral existence.

Creative process:

Any mental form is a subjective and existing entity capable of manifesting itself, this is what is commonly called “elaborating an idea” or carrying out a project ”, which will be called a discovery or an invention according to the level of creativity . Creativity is the result of mental conception. There is a true spiritual significance in the expression "shed light" on a problem. Creativity is a group work and therefore it is only possible for those who have mastered the process of meditation and can “keep a firm mind in the light”

Brainstorming is a group work technique that facilitates the emergence of new ideas on a particular issue or problem, and that is, in the creation of mental forms, a process similar to the weather is followed. The cloud of cognitive things rushes into the mental plane. A cloud is formed by evaporation, then comes condensation. There is an increase in heat and the subsequent manifestation of the spheroid shape. The sphere of gaseous igneous essence liquefies and begins to solidify on its outer surface.

Thought is the activation flow that occurs within the cloud, the heat is equivalent to the electrodynamics that occurs in the brain, the images are equivalent to the precipitation that is what starts the flow of thought.

Once the flow of thought begins, it continues to work with new images with the associations it makes. Thought occurs through connections or activated traces. The flow lines of thought have more activated areas than others. As the lines deepen and branch out, schemas or networks with many ramifications form over time and the mind tends to become rigid or inflexible.

The purpose of the idea is checked by means of the pineal gland, the shape-generating aspect is available through the pituitary gland, the shape is materialized through the rhyme gland. The three glands secrete substances that alter the chemistry of the crystals and chisel them properly. The three glands join together and form the new energetic being.

Semen: Pituitary Gland

Ovule: Rhyme Gland

Uterus: Pineal Gland

The spiritual being is the thought that reaches the necessary maturity. It accumulates elements that make it grow, expand in knowledge, understanding and love .

The spiritual being is developed in the pineal gland. It is linked to the universe through the umbilical cord, which feeds it on knowledge, understanding and universal love.

When the energetic being is ready, it is born : it is pure thought . It is released to coexist in parallel with the material, psychic and mental body. This body-being joins the others and is called the universal energy body .

He is the son of mind and energy. Born as the most wonderful thought; it nourishes the other thoughts, which feed on it producing the most exquisite honey and then nourish the higher dimensions. Thus, they can emanate the great ideas that, in turn, will feed the Cosmos.

The inner creativity contributes to ennoble the character through the integration of the personality and the unification of the self.

THE SYSTEMS

The ability of the human intellect to conceive, design and create automatic mechanisms demonstrates the superior, creative and concerted qualities of the mind of man as the dominant influence on the planet. The mind always craves:

1. The creation of material mechanisms.

2. The discovery of hidden mysteries.

3. The exploration of remote situations.

4. The formulation of mental systems.

5. The achievement of wisdom goals.

6. The achievement of spiritual levels.

7. The fulfillment of divine destinies: supreme, ultimate and absolute.

To approach electronic design, the human being has hierarchized the categories of creativity, naming the whole system , the subsystems circuits and the elements of the circuit, devices or components. The evolution of mechanisms and devices implies and indicates the presence and domination of the creative potential of the mind.

The spirit is the creative reality; The physical counterpart is the space-time reflection of spiritual reality, the physical impact of the creative action of the spiritual mind.

The finite mind

To begin the magnificent and fascinating adventure of merging the human mind with the divine, through space through the progression of time, one must begin by organizing knowledge into ideas-decisions; then, to exhort wisdom to work tirelessly in his noble task of transforming self-conceived ideas into increasingly practical ideals but nevertheless exceeding, even those concepts that are as reasonable as ideas and as logical as ideals that the Adjuster dares to combine them and spiritualize them so as to make them available so that they are associated in the finite mind in such a way as to constitute them in real human complements.

The universal mind constantly imagines its own reality, and imagines it with continuity and correlation. Each zone, degree, plane and dimension have their own imagination, and this adapts to their own continuity, which is, at the same time, the continuity of the other brain, and so infinitely, until reaching the total imagination of the mind. For the imagination to work together, it has to have a command that drives and activates the generator of the energy order.

The imagination uses mental forms and passes from plane to plane within the dimensions, forming the thought-crystals according to the corresponding geometric figure.

Third Dimension (Primary): Triangle

Fourth Dimension (Secondary): Square

Fifth Dimension (Regular): Hexagon

Sixth Dimension (Perfect): Octagon

Ethereal Dimensions (7), Divine (8), Sublime (9): Circle

Each dimension shapes the shape of its thought-crystals according to the knowledge, understanding and love that characterizes them. To form the triangle, the Primary Dimension must join its trilogy.

Energy-matter

Energy-thinking

Mental-energy

The Third Dimension belongs to the universal trilogy . The energy form of its crystals is, as the name implies, triangular . For the triangle prism formed by the three Glands to function properly, it must be conical. It means that you will have to work with: Volume (physical-matter) Circumference (psyche-soul) and Depth (mind-spirit). This is what we call Triad of Consciousness. This is the true hologram from which the beings of the third dimension are formed.

Humans who reach the third grade, who tend to work only with the first two angles: mass and volume. The height is activated when the being enters the Fourth Elevation Plane. It is the awakening of consciousness and the environment. The self becomes us . The being has knowledge of his life. His interest expands and his understanding deepens.

Cosmic mind

The cosmic mind is a subabsolute manifestation of the mind of the Third Person of the Deity, and in certain ways, it is functionally related to the mind of the evolving Supreme Being.

The cosmic mind comprises all levels of the finite mind and is experientially coordinated with the levels of the evolutionary deity of the Supreme Mind and transcendentally with the existential levels of the absolute mind - the direct circuits of the Joint Actor.

The Guiding Spirits are the sevenfold source of the cosmic mind, the intellectual potential of the great universe.

There are three different spirit circuits in our local universe:

1. The spirit of bestowal of the Creator Son, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.

2. The spirit circuit of the Divine Minister, the Holy Spirit.

3. The intelligence-ministry circuit of the seven helper spirits of the mind, which includes its least unified activities, although of diverse functioning.

The Creator Sons are endowed with a spirit of universal presence in many ways analogous to that of the Seven Master Spirits of Paradise. This is the Spirit of Truth, which is spread over a world by a self-bestowing Son after receiving the spiritual title for such a sphere.

From the donation of the Spirit of Truth, man is subject to the teaching and guidance of a triple spiritual endowment: the spirit of the Father, the Thought Adjuster), the Spirit of the Son (the Spirit of Truth), and the Spirit of the Spirit (the Holy Spirit).

In a way, humanity is subject to the double influence of the sevenfold appeal of the spiritual influences of the universe. As the human being progresses upward on the scale of intelligence and spiritual perception, seven higher spiritual influences finally come to hover over him and reside within him. And these seven spirits of the worlds that progress are:

1. Thought Adjusters. Awarded by the Absolute Father.

2. The spiritual presence of the Eternal Son.

3. The spiritual presence of the Infinite Spirit.

4. The Spirit of Truth, joint donation of the spirit of the Universal Father and the Creator Son.

5. The Holy Spirit, a joint donation of the Infinite Spirit and the Creator Spirit (Divine Mother).

6. The seven helper spirits of the mind of the local universe. The spirit of the Creative Spirit.

7. The spirit of the Father, of the Sons and of the Spirits.

The seven helper spirits of the mind, are the so-called Seven spirits before the Throne and are in the headquarters of the Local Universe, while the twenty-four elders are present in the Headquarters of the Local System (Jerusem).

The helping spirits of the mind are in no way directly related to the highly spiritual and diverse function of the Holy Spirit; they are functionally antecedents and preparatory to the appearance of this spirit in the evolutionary man.

The relationship between the finite cosmic mind and the divine absolute mind seems to be evolving in the experiential mind of the Supreme.

The supreme mind

The creative synthesis of power and personality is a part of the creative impulse of the supreme mind and is the very essence of the evolutionary growth of unity in the Supreme Being.

The vital spark the mystery of life is granted through the Life Carriers, not by themselves. In effect, they oversee these transactions and prepare the plasma formula of life itself, but it is the Maternal Spirit of the Universe that provides the essential factor of the living plasma. From the Creative Daughter of the Infinite Spirit comes that spark of energy that enlivens the body and foreshadows the mind.

The Children of God can build the forms of life, but it is The Children of the Mind who really contribute to the vital spark. The function of the first five helpers in the animal kingdom is to some extent essential for the function of the seven as a human intellect.

Mental forces converge in the Infinite Spirit; the differential and divergent cosmic mind converges on the Seven Master Spirits; the mind of the Supreme, which is becoming real, converges as a space-time experience in the Majestic

THOUGHT ADJUSTERS:

Sent by the Universal Father to communicate with his creatures, they descend from the heights of glory to favor and dwell in the humble minds of those mortals who possess the ability to be aware of God or the potential for it. The fact of God's presence in the minds of creatures is determined by whether or not they are inhabited by fragments of the Father, such as the Mysterious Monitors, but their effective presence is determined by the degree of cooperation granted to these Adjusters by the mind. in which they reside. God adjusts to the imperfect mind of the planet's mortals through the Thought Adjusters.

Nature of adjusters.

The volunteer Adjuster is particularly interested in three qualifications of the human candidate:

1. Intellectual capacity. Is the mind normal? What is the intellectual potential, the ability of intelligence? Can the individual develop into a volitional bona fide creature? Will wisdom have a chance to work?

2. Spiritual perception. Prospects of reverential development, the birth and growth of religious nature. What is the potential of the soul, the probable spiritual capacity of receptivity?

3. Intellectual and spiritual powers combined. The degree to which these two gifts can possibly associate, combine, to produce a strong human character and contribute to the true evolution of an immortal soul with survival value.

However, since the day of Pentecost, the Divine Adjusters have been universally granted to all normal minds of moral condition.

Even with a mind endowed with the Spirit of Truth, the Adjuster cannot arbitrarily invade the mortal intellect before the appearance of the moral decision. But when this moral decision has been made, this assistant spirit takes jurisdiction directly

The adjuster and the personality.

Since Adjusters can plan, work and love, they must have powers of self commensurate with the mind.

Recognition is an intellectual process that consists of locating sensory impressions received from the outside world in the memory schemes of the individual. Understanding implies that these recognized sensory impressions and their associated memory schemes have been integrated or organized into a dynamic network of principles.

The meanings are derived from the combination of recognition and understanding. The meanings are non-existent in a totally material or sensory world. Meanings and values ​​are perceived only in the innermost or supermaterial spheres of human experience.

The adjuster and the conscience.

Human self-consciousness implies the recognition of the reality of self other than the conscious self and subsequently implies that such recognition is mutual; that the self be known as he knows.

The consciousness of man's own personality, self-consciousness, is also directly dependent on this same fact of the innate consciousness of others, this innate ability to recognize and understand the reality of other personalities, from the human to the divine.

Self-consciousness is essentially communal consciousness: God and man, Father and son, Creator and creature. In human self-consciousness there are four latent and inherent understandings of universal reality:

1. The search for knowledge, the logic of science.

2. The search for moral values, the sense of duty.

3. The search for spiritual values, religious experience.

4. The search for personality values, the ability to recognize the reality of God as a personality and the parallel understanding of our fraternal relationship with other personalities.

Social awareness is achieved thanks to cultural development and depends on knowledge, symbols and contributions and the constitutive gifts of man: science, morality and religion. These cosmic gifts, socialized, constitute civilization.

The altruistic social conscience must be, on the basis, a religious conscience if it is to be objective; if it is not, it is a purely subjective philosophical abstraction and therefore devoid of love. Only the individual who knows God can love another person as he loves himself.

The personal creature endowed with a cosmic mind, dwelling in the Adjuster, possesses an innate ability to recognize and understand the reality of energy, mental reality, and spiritual reality. The volitional creature is therefore equipped to discern the fact, the law, and the love of God. Apart from these three inalienable prerogatives of human consciousness, every human experience is actually subjective, except that the intuitive understanding of validity is associated with the unification of these three universal reality responses of cosmic recognition.

Reflective thinking

There are three factors of reflective thinking that allow man to function as a rational and self-conscious personality in the fields of science, philosophy and religion. In other words, the recognition of the reality of these three manifestations of the Infinite is through a cosmic technique of self-disclosure. Matter-energy is recognized by the mathematical logic of the senses; the mind-reason intuitively knows its moral duty; faith-spirit (worship) is the religion of the reality of spiritual experience.

These three basic factors in reflective thinking can be unified and coordinated in the development of personality, or they can become disproportionate and virtually unrelated in their respective functions. But when they are unified, they produce a strong character that consists in the correlation of a factual science, a moral philosophy, and a genuine religious experience. And it is these three cosmic intuitions that lend objective validity, reality, to human experience in and with things, meanings and values.

It is the purpose of teaching to develop and sharpen these innate endowments of the human mind; of civilization, express them; from life experience, understand them; of religion, ennoble them; and of the personality, to unify them.

Absolute thought

Just as the Eternal Son is the verbal expression of the "first" absolute and infinite thought of the Universal Father, so the Joint Actor is the perfect execution of the "first" concept or complete creative plan for the combined action of the Father-Son personality society, with absolute union of thought and word. The Third Source and Center is eternally concurrent with the central creation or decree, and only this central creation has eternal existence among the universes.

Faith-vision or spiritual intuition is the endowment of the cosmic mind in association with the Thought Adjuster, which constitutes the Father's gift to man. Spiritual reason, the intelligence of the soul, is the endowment of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Creative Spirit to man. Spiritual philosophy, the wisdom of spiritual realities, is the endowment of the Spirit of Truth,

Although the task of the Adjusters is of a spiritual nature, they must, by force, do all their work on an intellectual basis. The mind is the human terrain from which the Monitor spirit must evolve the spiritual soul with the cooperation of the host personality.

But such mastery of the spirit over the material mind requires two experiences: this mind must have evolved through the ministry of the seven helper spirits of the mind, and the material (personal) self must choose to cooperate with the resident Adjuster to create and foster the spiritual me, the evolutionary and potentially immortal soul.

Why don't you help the Adjuster in his task of showing you the spiritual counterpart of all these tiring material efforts? Why don't you allow the Adjuster to fortify you with the spiritual truths of spiritual power while struggling with the temporary difficulties of the existence of creatures? Why don't you encourage this heavenly helper to cheer you up with the clear vision of the eternal approach to universal life while you perplexedly contemplate the problems of the passing hour? Why do you refuse to be clarified and inspired by the universal point of view as you suffer among the difficulties of time and lose yourself in the labyrinth of the uncertainties that plague your journey in mortal life? Why not allow the Adjuster to spiritualize your thinking, even though your feet must walk through the material avenues of terrestrial companies?
