Philosophy of Mind: Exploring the Metaphysics of Mind

Philosophy of Mind is the intellectual and practical exploration into the true nature of what we call "Mind".

Ironically, the attempt to explore the Mind with intellect is like trying to see your own face with your own physical eyes. The best we can hope for is to observe a reflection in a mirror (although I'm sure that technology will soon allow us to project a holographic image of our body in front of us for a much better reflection!).

The metaphor of attempting to observe one's face with one's eyes gives us the perfect model for how we might actually go about exploring and developing a useful philosophy of Mind. Simply observe the reflection in the mirror; ie. the world you see all around you IS a reflection of your own Mind. What do you "see"? How does it make you "feel"?

Of course, we are not limited to exploring the Mind with the five physical senses. It's true that modern scientific technology allows us to observe much more deeply than we could with our physical eyes, but I'm talking about an entirely different level of perception.

As humans we have access to multiple levels of perception, including conscious and subconscious, intuitive, and spiritual. A complete, accurate and useful philosophy of Mind would not be possible without the application of ALL levels of perception, and a thorough integration of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual observations and results.

Below you will find links to just some of the resources available that can help you explore the true nature of consciousness, thought, and emotion - and create a true and useful Philosophy of Mind.

PS - Remember, the purpose of the Mind is to create the Illusion of Separation, resulting in infinite manifestation of variety of form. To know the Truth about anything (including Mind), please access the Heart!

Heartcompass LifeNavigation System: Creating A Mind With Heart.
Over the years I have developed my own Philosophy of Mind using the Heartcompass LifeNavigation System. I woke up one morning in 2002 with the LifeNav System complete in my Mind. Using it has created what I call "A Mind With Heart" - a Mind capable of seeing beyond the Illusion of Separation to Unity and Oneness. It does not eliminate the Illusion, it just "enlightens" it.

HeartMath: A Change of Heart Changes Everything.
I like to think of the brain as the hard drive and processor of the conscious aspect of Mind. The Heart is like the modem, connecting consciousness to the deeper, non-physical levels of perception. The Heartmath Institute provides education, services, products and more to help people discover and connect to Heart Intelligence.
