The origin of mind 2

The balance between feelings and thoughts, between self and others, between helplessness and intention are spontaneous problems we have to deal with as individuals.

On the pure mind level, there is no problem. There it is obvious we are living in interdependency of everything else, we create our experiences by giving what we want to get, and the feelings are supporting our thoughts.

The problem is to reach this awareness.

Our mind might have to act within a framework made up from feelings, being self-centered and helpless. 

This individual immature situation might even be reinforced on the social level by politicians appealing to feelings, self interest and helplessness of the voters.

On the practical, external and material level the relation between action and result might be obscure. Sometimes hard work gives less effect than unethical actions. 

But on mind level, the relations between action and result are direct and obvious. Good gives good.

But again, the problem is to change from accepting the practical, external and material level as being the most real to a mind based world view.
