Mind is a mental process, not an object; a conscious movement arising in a much broader field of awareness. As such, minding is something we do, not something we have—this by first narrowing the focus of our awareness, minding “this” to the exclusion of “that,” and then constantly attending to shifting mental focal points. With all mental movement itself the result of said linear sequential shifts in attention from one focal point to another. All of which occurs within the single field in which all such centers naturally arise. Mind, as such, is a continuous process of mental self-polarization, reflection and conception with respect to the overall field of awareness one truly is—a rather miraculous process of self-creation enabling pure awareness to reflect upon itself,and in so doing give birth to its own self-awareness or consciousness of being.
