“A Mind and Its Limitation”

The world and all things inside are going to keep existing if minds operate themselves. It is not a joke that without mind the world and all entities inside can be extinguished pronto. In its existence, a mind operates in accordance with the flexibility of its gaze. The more flexible it stares at something, the more it can encompass the horizon of the world; the farther it hurls its gaze, the more it can penetrate itself into the visibility which is barricaded, obstructed, blocked, imprisoned by both the natural symptoms and the artificial symptoms.

The barricade of the natural symptoms can happen because of the crack of the membrane of sanity so terribly that it results in the abnormality indeed intrinsically becoming potential to demolish itself. Whereas, the barricade of the artificial symptoms can occur from either sleight of hand, hanky-panky, a bribe, or proliferated ignorance to stay evaporating.

The experts may bicker on “consciousness” what spreads through inside the mental’s human being with the result that (s)he can make efforts a transcendentalising of the reflection on the reality. Minds exist in one of the significant bows. In the freest meaning, minds do not have the itself judging regulation. Minds are not identical to consciousness, but that it can be claimed an sich that consciousness is necessarily covered by the active work of the mind itself.

The disputation of the experts on which coordinate is placed by the mind indicates that the scientific impediment is still trapped in the physical and material constellation. Probably, a sophisticated conclusion — but simplifying — is to say that the mind is a kind of magical and supernatural boogeymen.

Several philosophical terms will not bridge a complete understanding, but each proposed term demonstrates an arrogant effort towards a finality. We might hate it. The peak of expression to expound on the complexity of mind analytically meets its momentum in the heavy tractates. We feel fed up with it. An expert is going to submit her opinion on mind, but she must presuppose that her mind can objectify her mind. When the mind as a subject is faced with the mind as an object, what will happen? Which will win? Or, there is nothing relevant to questioning.

Each endeavour objectifying an object means to act arrogantly to position the arrogance towards the direction of the destructive analysis so that the action must arrive in reductionism. The consequence of all the work will chop the comprehensiveness of something (mind) off. Whereas, we try to keep away from such a coarse attempt because the risk of objectifying is more susceptible to producing reductionism than contemplating the holistic paradigm. This writing does not promise to unravel such problems; precisely to only endeavour to set this probe free of those mantraps.

The mind can be elucidated as a world as well as the metaphysical atom wrapping the entire skyline, displaying a complete and spherical totality. What is attempted by mind is not merely the effort of reflection on reality, but the endeavour of transcendentalising the act of reflection on reality also. The mind wrestles on an excelling, outshining, and gripping lawyer softly and prestigiously. The beginning of the work of the mind is “I”; consciousness that “I” is not a form of lexicon in dictionaries, not a personal realized identity as well, but it encompasses all landscapes of its existence holistically: therein transcendentalising starts embracing. The embrace is pliable and delicate as cheek-touching wind, becoming flushed. Consciousness exists as the backbone which identifies reality in the rhythm of its breath.

Most experts like discussing the limitations of mind, but we try to refuse it. The effort is neither the arrogance of an intellect nor frustration of the itself-constructed limitation. Does mind really have its limitations? What limitations can block its flap? We cannot answer them hastily, but comprehensively and meticulously. Actually, it will be simple that the mind is, in fact, limited by the limitation itself. What is its limitation? It is what we have created by ourselves by means of our minds as well.[]
