The imposition of
mind
is the essence of our perception of
reality. Thinking is about our judgments. They are very related but
actually quite different. Mind can be seen to impose itself and its
judgments on what it thinks or it is only the filter through which
we process our thinking. We can change our thinking and judgments
much easier than changing our mind and its perception. Changing our
thinking and judgment is about changing how we rearrange our
belief structure. However, the mind is the collection of all the
experiences and beliefs which make up our belief structure and gives
rise to our thinking. To change our mind we need to incorporate
different beliefs and experiences.
 How
mind
imposes itself can be seen in the Figure entitled
"Mind stepping into the flow. " What occurs is our body and
our being senses an infinite unmanifested or
nonlocalized energy.
Our body, being attuned to the
human experience in Physical Creation,
acts as an antenna to sense a particular
segment of this energy. Mind then steps in causing the unmanifested
or non localized energy which is sensed to
localize into a
particular form and perception of what was experienced.
 However,
mind
acts as a filter. Mind only allows for one
of many possible interpretations of what is experienced. A filter is
a device that allows the flow one or several particular items and
stops all other items. As diagramed in the Figure entitled "Filter"
several different energies impinge on a filter. However the filter
only allows one particular energy to pass through the filter. All
the others are either reflected or absorbed.
 Our
mind
works in a similar fashion as a filter. As
diagramed in the Figure entitled, "Mind as a filter" our mind
takes or allows to pass through only one of an infinite number of
unmanifested,
non localized forms of energy. That is, an non
localized energy can localized in an infinite number of ways. Mind
only allows one of those infinite number of ways to be take from or
pass through the filter. Mind takes the infinite energy that has
been filtered by the body and characterizes it in one of an infinite
number of ways. In characterizing the infinite energy mind creates a
thought or perspective that it believes is a correct perception of
what it has experienced when in reality it is only one of an
infinite number of characterizations. This is the essence of the
illusion of mind. Mind takes one of an infinite interpretations
and believes that it has the correct interpretation or that
interpretation exactly matches the truth of what is.
 What this means is diagramed in the Figure entitled "Perspective
of mind determines what we see." The unmanifested,
non localized energy which is experienced can be experienced in a
variety of ways. In the Figure, six (freedom,
heaven,
pleasant,
bound,
pain and
hell) of an infinite
number are listed. Depending on our perspective, our
mind
will select one out of all the possible interpretations. What is
important to realize is that depending on our perspective, what can
be only pleasant with one perspective can be experienced as heaven
in another or even perfect freedom in a third perspective. Also as
seen in the Figure, when we experience one half of a duality its
opposite also exists and the same perspective creates both. Heaven
and hell exist simultaneously. So does what we feel as pleasant or
pain and/or freedom or binding. It is just that we only focus on one
half of the duality we create. Often the different between freedom
and bound, heaven and hell, pleasant and pain is only one of
perspective. The question is, "Why does our mind select one
characterization of the experience and energy over another?"
What needs to be understood here is that it is our perspective
which is determining the thoughts we have. How we
choose
to think about those thought and act on the thoughts we have is
really beyond the perspective we hold for we do have a
free will
We are not held captive by our thoughts. We always have a choice on
what we do with those thoughts. In understanding that the
perspective of
mind
is determining how the energy we sense is
localizing into thoughts, we can begin to see how we can change our
thinking and judgments much easier than changing our mind. But, if
we choose, we can
change our perspective and
shift our consciousness. We are a
creative living process continually
recreating ourselves. Mind has the possibility of changing with
every experience we have. The recommendation made here is to choose
a perspective or at least being to choose beliefs which allows us to
hold
our creativity sacred. The more we hold our creativity
sacred, the faster we can create a perspective which allows us to
recreate ourselves as necessary for what we
desire to
experience.
