Senses and mind

Mind is not an organ but a process. The brain is an organ. It has many different functions. In the brain are the centers for the sense organs.

Mind as process has different levels. The difference is in frequency and subtlety. Normally we use the low frequencies, the most coarse levels.

The energy needed for low frequency level activities are lower, then the energy needed on the higher frequency levels. That is one reason for the popularity of the lower frequencies.

Another reason is the incessant disturbance from sense impulses. When we are awake, we see and hear sensational things most of the time. They activate the coarse levels of mind, and leave the other levels blinded out.

We can learn to live with these disturbances, and yet keep our concentration on the deeper levels.

If we try to understand how material reality works, we see we have to improve our sense organs - as we do with microscopes and binoculars, high speed cameras and radar and in many other ways. We also find that we have to use more and more subtle levels of mind.

If we start with training our mind, our ability to see the more subtle connections and truths increase.
