Maynman: , I'm not a mental health practitioner to answer that question correctly. Even doctors dont have all the answers . So what can a person like me I say? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:12pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:That means that list is not correct on the functions of mind and brain. The mind is the seat of Ego. Have you noticed that sometimes to ascertain if someone is sane, they first ask that person what his name is? What do you think a “name” is? |

@mayman Now that you agree you use your mind to think of new ideas, visualize it, how then do you reconcile your response below with what you quoted? Is it wrong to use one's imagination to create something in the mind and then go on to do things to bring it to fruition. I couldn't understand the reason behind your comments hence my questions

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 5:19pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: Forget this for now. You are not a professional. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:20pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Triplechoice stop lying i never “agreed” on anything, all ideas arises from the mind, and if you say not all ideas arises from the mind, then you should be able to think consciously of ideas without the need of a mind. But if you still need a mind to think consciously and unconsciously, does that not mean all thoughts arises from the mind? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:20pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:I don’t need to be a professional to think. Is aristotle a “professional”? What a mad man lacks is awareness, he lacks an ego. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:22pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:The mind is abstract, it doesn’t exist, so as your Ego. I told you to tell me the mental “phenomenon” of the mind, you haven’t, keep changing mouth. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:32pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Good, so you agree that you and your mind are 2 different things. It can do something without your permission. And sometimes you follow its lead or not 😂 Can your leg do something without your permission? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 5:42pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: Not so Mayman What you responded to when summarized, simply means, If you find yourself in difficulty, or looking for solutions, use your mind to think or visualize a solution first, then follow it up by doing things to make it see the light of day. Most people don't this and because of this are stuck where they are . The phone you have in your hand right now, existed first as imagination in someone's "head", the, inventor, before it was made manifest. Infact, every creative invention in the world was achieved through the same. Honestly yoir comments where off in that instance. Here again below

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:43pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Look at the picture again and compare the examples i used and yours. Did the creator of phones FORCE the imagination? No prior knowledge, just woke up to imagine a phone? What’s ticking you exactly?
|
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 5:47pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: Your leg is not the same as your mind/brain. The comparison is wrong. Or does your leg originate thoughts? Thoughts occurring in your brain is due to how the mind works. It regularly throws up memories of something already stored in it . That's why we remember. So what are saying? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:49pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Don’t you have control over them again That’s not the function of the leg, something is powerful because of their DUTY. Don’t you have control over your mind/brain the same way you have over your leg? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 5:59pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: Does your leg move on its own sometimes? Mine doesn't Thoughts occurring in one's head is normal process of how the mind works. The only control you have in such instance is to choose whether to follow through with it or ignore. But it's not normal when your leg move on its own. You will need to see a Doctor if that ever happens to you . Your leg is not the same as your mind/brain |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 5:59pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:How does the mind work? You said it’s not physical, how does it work? Are you now a professional? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:01pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:That’s because i have total control over my leg. So you now see that you don’t have total control over your mind? And sometimes your mind do overcomes you! How does the mind work? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:02pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:My leg is not the same as my hand too, I don’t have total control of my mind like i do with my leg, do you understand now? I don’t have to choose like i do with my mind. How does the mind work? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:09pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice: So all thoughts arises from the mind, and thoughts are the work of the mind?😂 |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 6:16pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: Legs don't move on their own . You use them to move about So they idea of controlling them like the brain only exist in your imagination. Somettimes stubborn thoughts can keep reoccurring in your mind and your struggle to shake them off or exert control This doesn't happen with legs .They don't ever pull you to move you about Your comparison is wrong. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:20pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Legs don’t move on their own because i have control over it. Like you said thought occur on their own with or without your control. How can you have stubborn thoughts if you have CONTROL over it? Who is bringing the stubborn thoughts? Who is controlling it? So you see you don’t have total control of your mind. My comparison is correct. I have TOTAL control over my LEG, you don’t have TOTAL control over your MIND. Sometimes your mind do overcome you, how possible How does the mind work? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:22pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:So between your mind and leg, which one do you have total control over? How does the mind work? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 6:27pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: OK. May man's leg is the same as his brain. They function the same way. His legs sometimes try to move him about and so he has to control it. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:28pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:So you now agree you don’t have full control of your mind? And it can OVERCOME you Triplechoice you have already agreed that you don’t have total control of your mind, shikena
|
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:31pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Mayman is my nickname, and i have a leg and i also have a brain same way i have a house and a car but I am neither any of these. I am not a leg. I am not a hand. I am not a brain. I am not a house. I am not a car. And i am not a nickname. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:34pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:The reason why you are controlling your mind is because it’s moving on his own? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 6:37pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: My legs don't move of their own accord. So the idea of controlling them is crazy talk I use them whenever I choose to. This is not the same with brain . As I type this my brain is involuntarily controlling other organs in my body without me consciously doing anything about it. My mind ,thoughts, can also trigger other body parts through the brain. Uncontrolled erections you sometimes have .Lol Not so for legs Why do you find it difficult to understand this beats me |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:40pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Don’t you need your brain to move your legs? Why is your brain not “involuntarily controlling” your legs to move? You still have to control your own legs to move why is that not same with your mind? How come thought comes to you without thinking about it? You keep contradicting yourself. And we are talking about mind not brain, keep changing mouth.

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 6:50pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:What is controlling the brain? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 8:11pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: This thread has been a very quite place . I don't want to derail it. For the last time, I'm not changing mouth but telling you that your comparison is completely off. Legs don't have the mechanisms to either produce thoughts on their own or help us generate any.You don't use your legs to think. So what are you. comparing When people talk of controlling their minds, they are actually referring to thoughts, and not the mental structure or brain which it arises from or can be used to create it. And one way people can control their thoughts, is by placing their attention elsewhere. How have you ever tried to control your legs just like your thoughts. Tell me? And when was the last time you hear anyone saying "I can control legs not to move " Or maybe you're referring to the "leg" between your legs. Lol That's the only one I know you struggle to control all the time. You are the person changing mouth and running away from answering the main question I ask you about visualization. It's enough now . Let benodic have back his thread. |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by triplechoice(m): 8:12pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
Maynman: The brain has its own mechanism that controls its functions |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 8:16pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:🥱 Have you now agreed that you don’t have full control over your mind?
|
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 8:16pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:Who is controlling the mechanism? |
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Maynman: 8:20pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
triplechoice:from mind you change am to brain, you now change it to thoughts. You are lost! |
