My Mind
What really goes inside one individual’s mind…..only GOD knows!
What i mean to say is that we as persons, are constantly under the impression that when we are consciously saying, doing, feeling, thinking anything, we “ARE” really conscious of it at that time. The truth is very far from it.
After several attempts at trying to observe my own self and my actions from a distance, I can safely vouch for this human misconception.
Sometimes I wonder that all that has actually happened in my entire life is nothing what I actually planned and thought of. In fact when I am in the midst of a “happening” (and I am defining a “happening” as anything which is outside my mind, my inner being and thinking), then it almost seems as if I am on a swing or a roller coaster and nothing is in my control…I am just flying away. I only realize what happened after the ride is over. Days, months later all that is left is the feeling of that ride and that is the maximum consciousness I have of that happening.
So my consciousness is literally functioning in a delay of days and sometime months. At a given point of time I only think I am in sync but it has never been true.
and hence
What really goes inside one individual’s mind…. only GOD knows!
What do you say???

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
bnu aren’t the situations we are in a product of the concious decisions we make? ie; haven’t we choosen to ride that specific roller coaster!
that’s actually a very tricky concept. I dont think as humans we are yet mentally evovlved to understand the many folds of the complex human brain.
My amma says that ‘ beta the universe works with us … it works with our mind, body and soul’ . there is so much that we don’t know and understand and it’s better that way. we are conscious .. yes .. conscious of time,space ,the physiclality of things … but if we really started to understand the very reality of a moment in that time , the magic i assume will be lost. it’s like what osho said ” be the narrow bamboo flute and let the wind of existance play through you’ =).
it’s important to give to what is and wait and see what happens.I’d also like to share something I read in a book titled eat,love and pray by Elizabeth Gilbert
” God long ago drea a circle in the sand , exactly arpund the spot where you and I are standing right now. we were never not coming here. This was never not going to happen’ =)
God does know best.
Much love and success !

I don’t quite agree with u completly there. I think on a broad level ur right, that how we perceive life… isn’t usually how it turns out and if we look back at everything that has happened it was probably not how u thought it was suppose to happen, but on a smaller scale are u saying u don’t know what’s going around u if ur in the middle of a situation or a “happening”? God has made the human mind very complex, and granted one isn’t aware of everything that is happening around u at a certain point, but for example when ur talking to someone…..ur concious for the most part, u know what ur gonna say, because naturally ur thinking before ur talking, u know what’s around u, n if ur listening…ull know what the other person is saying.
that’s just what came to me from the top of my head.
On the otherhand, ull always have ppl who are not all there, ppl who are lost in the own thoughts.
Btw….I probably totally missed what you were trying to get out from this post, n if I did…I apologize!
Ps. God is the only one who knows what’s going on in each individuals mind, but mostly likely u know what ur thinking too.
yes i was speaking on broader terms. and i agree with you when you say that we are conscious of the now ! i don’t negate that at all . but yeh you’re right i was speaking in the broader sense of the concept. =)
yes u r rite Ali. Tao a chinese thinker sayz

“By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light pretending
That it somehow lingered on.”

A year back I worked on my thesis in Artificial Intelligence, and I did some extensive research on Human Thinking Behaviour. My main aim was to understand how humans think and to figure out the algorithm behind human inference (human inference – act or process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what one knows.).
At first I thought, if I can figure out this process, then I have done it. I can implement
this into a machine and hence create machines that will have the power to think and take decisions based on argument. Things that had inspired me were movies like I-Robot, Terminator and Matrix. But it wasn’t as easy as it seemed, after almost 6 months of research in this, I realized that the human reasoning or human thinking cannot be understood. We do things as if we have been programmed as well by someone. There was no algorithm or process that I could figure out behind human reasoning. Things we did in situations were just ‘Happening’. And I agree with you that we come to realize that once it has already happned.
Personally, I have started to beleive in Fate and Destiny and I think these two concepts of fate and destiny are interrelated and only they can help us understand our behaviour towards things. As you said in your blog entry that “Sometimes I wonder that all that has actually happened in my entire life is nothing what I actually planned and thought of. In fact when I am in the midst of a “happening”, then it almost seems as if I am on a swing or a roller coaster and nothing is in my control…I am just flying away.” In other words, wouldn’t you call this Fate or Destiny, the fact that things are happening in our life which are uncontrollable (although we have the illusion of control over them).
whatever goes in ur mind, dude, check ur website i.e. http://www.nooriworld,net coz everytime i try to browse i get a virus alert message !!!!
:S
If we are sincere with our plans and stick to it .We will definitly get our goals. The goals which we wanted to achieve. Whats going in our minds, Some time we minunsterstood it, but I believe- We do that delibrately. We know normaly if we do this thing through this source. It may effect the duration of getting our goal or may be we won’t get what exactly we wanted
This is confusing
