Our reality as human beings have three distinct aspects, called body, energy and mind. We normally know a lot of the body aspect - what to eat, physical training, health, beauty, cosmetics.
About the energy aspect, we are not so aware normally. Breathing is automatic for most of us in most instances. Few know the advantages of being aware of the breath. How the energy in the food we eat is distributed and used is not particularly aware for most of us. In elite sports and military activities, the use of energy is important.
The awareness of mind as such is often quite low. Instead we are aware of the content in mind - our interesting thoughts and intense feelings.
But mind is the platform for our energy and body levels, and for our existence at large. And mind is not some vague, unstructured phenomenon.
If we want to we can get more knowledge about the workings of our mind than about the workings of our body. And it would be worthwhile. All of our problems are caused by mind.
We avoid eating poisoned food, but we do not avoid poisoning our mind.
We use our mind all the time, so we get some ideas about how it works. But everything is not obvious. The time lag is not immediately obvious. The time lag is the fact that mind needs some time to process our learning before we can use it. So the time lag can become a time trap, for example for those who know not how to wait till the fruits of learning appear.
