Managing our Mind through Heart Break and Emotional confusion
Why do we want what we know isn’t good for us; and why do we feel like we are fighting ourselves when we resist the urge to have it?
Sometimes our spirit wants more than we can give her. In this moment she has unrealistic expectations and desires that are unfeasible. The more she doesn’t get, the more she wants. Eventually her desire outweighs our ability to manage, and a fight breaks out within our incorporeal union.
It is the role of our soul to protect our spirit from situations and decisions that are harmful to us. Sometimes this means letting go of the things we want in favor for what we need. Ultimately when this happens the experience is terrible indeed because it makes our mind feel uncomfortable things.
Our mind is not meant to serve as our marriage counselor. It is our governor, leader, and guide. Our mind is designed to be proactive, rather than reactive, so when it is forced to face these tribulations it often fails.
This is what happens when the mind is forced to react to heartbreak and emotional confusion.
The mind wants to create systems, it loves to analyze, and explore ideas. Without our mind our incorporeal union would be lost and their relationship would fall apart.
The reason is because it creates boundaries and rules for us to follow. These often manifest in how we interact with the world. This can be witnessed in our personal philosophy, religion, and commitment to ethical behavior.
If we desire to have a healthy mind we must feed it the scoobie snacks it wants to eat. The mind thrives on intellectual stimulation. It loves to learn, listen, and develop solutions. When we give it time to contemplate the universe and the world within us, it grants us the ability to establish effective personal boundaries.
Unfortunately bad things happen when we overindulge our mind. Like the soul it can get stuck in a prison of its own design.
Unlike the soul which is a metaphysical machine designed for action, the mind can easily spiral and spin on a single idea.
When we overindulge our mind it tends to hyper-focus so much that we never complete a project. It may even enter a state that stops us from moving forward in life.
Shyness is typically a pathology of the mind. It is spawned from over calculation and the mismanagement of perceived risk. As it’s gears spin we get lost in the second until the opportunity to speak has passed.
An underutilized mind is dull and boring and lacks substance.
Managing healthy mind harmony is essential but especially difficult. However the rewards are incredible and are often transformative for our spirit and soul.
When our mind is functioning correctly it creates boundaries that prevent conflict between our spirit and soul. It helps reduce our desire to want what we know is not good for us and prevents a lot of infighting. In addition to this it helps us minimize our urges, prevents us from excessively leaning on the mind for emotional matters, and facilitates healthy boundaries within us, and with others.
