How to use the mind

How do we use the mind? 

We propose different ideas to the Self. 

We have an objective external reality.

We have an internal subjective reality.

We obtain information from the objective reality.

 we use this information to represent the world to ourselves symbolically. 

 we give the symbols in our reality to have a sense of meaning. 

We assign different meanings to the symbols and this gives it a feeling. 

We create the feelings we want to feel towards reality. 

By the things that we think.  

Also by the quality of our thoughts about others. 

Focusing on the breath is one way to use the mind. 

Thinking about space is one way to use the mind. 

Letting Go is one way to use the mind.
