To Prevent Being Collateral Damage From Our Mind

To Prevent Being Collateral Damage From Our Mind

Do you think the mind feels pain? Is the mind hurting when it throws all those painful thoughts at you? Why is it just yourself that ends up being hurt and not the mind? How can it not feel or know what it’s doing to you? It’s like the Internet when you surf it you see painful things, is the Internet doing this to purposely hurt you or is it just data? If the computer is not suffering by all these hurtful stories and stupid websites, if it can process it objectively and as just data why can't we? If we do not do that then what other alternative do we have? Is it a good idea to stay in this state forever, at the mercy of our addicting memories, thoughts and knowledge? Are we to live our whole life as collateral damage from our mind? Our body may die but these mental patterns and data lives on, passed on to the next computer, to the next generation of kids in every country.

 You can not obliterate that what you do not like in your mind or that which brings you pain, this is sort of petty and racist in a way its just a thought no different then all the other thoughts that come to you. I think another problem with this is our relationship to these thoughts. We would rather have more pleasant thoughts then unpleasant thoughts, we judge and label thoughts, we put them in boxes of what we like and do not like based on our conditioning, we take them personal and identify with them, let them think for us, and think we are them. The Internet and computer does not do this, it knows the distinction so don't we?

I do think the psyche can swallow everything that is going on in the world; it always has, even in our super bloody barbaric past. What did it do with all that sort of data; aside from develop a sort of amnesia or a twisted version of it? Animals swallow the reality of the many before them that were killed but they do not let this information paralyze them or make them sick or prevent them from living they use it to assimilate it to evolve to understand how the ones before them perished so they can do something different. Like the moth that has the eyes of the snake on its wings. The snake does not eat the moth. Birds and frogs eat the moth, and the snake eats birds and frogs so this moth used the past information to protect itself, can we not do the same when it comes to our psychologically so to prevent being a casualty of the mind?
