Enthusiastic effort 2

All human activity is not effort, and all effort is not enthusiastic. So there is room for improvement.
The key to this improvement is mind. Mind is intention, means and also result.
Often we describe the goals as non mind, like making money, supporting a family with a home, food and everything else and having a family.
But this is really mind. The evaluation of these factors are mind, often strengthened by instinct.
Even negative incentives as punishment and social degradation are mind.
Mind can support these ideas or negate them totally or in different combinations. Sometimes money is preferred instead of family, sometimes family harmony is preferred to money.
In many social situations we have obvious material goals like a certain house, a car, a family, a job. But if we have the mind perspective nothing of these external factors are important.
It is convenient to have some material facilities, but the essential factor is the processes in mind, and they can reach heaven - literally - without having any obvious, material effects.
The results can be transferred and communicated, if there is a willingness to listen.

Non deludedness 2

Mind can be used in different ways. The last one hundred years or so, material issues have been prominent. A lot of great achievements have been made. Material problems have also been invented, as a lot of wars. They were destructive!
But mind is more than a mirror of a material reality. Mind is closer to reality than matter. Matter is of course part of reality, an important but limited reality. We see the proportions in space: small suns and planets move around in an enormous space. Mind is big as space, not small as planets.
Saying that mind is closer to reality means that a certain piece of matter can be seen in different ways by mind. Reality can be understood or interpreted in different ways by mind. Reality is not in a piece of matter, but in the understanding of that piece of matter, and in understanding everything else out there in cosmos and in here in the origin of life.
For mind the brain is the central organ in the body. Brain is fantastic, but it has an initial resistance to new ideas. We can transcend that resistance by learning and contemplation.
If we want to free mind from its occupation with material factors, we have to train the brain.
