The Movement of the Mind: How the Sense of ‘Me’ Is Created

The Movement of the Mind: How Memory Becomes “Me” Memory is part of the mind, but the mind is not merely memory. What we ordinarily call the mind is the ongoing movement of memory, perception, thought, emotion and identification. Memory supplies content and continuity; the mind identifies with that content and creates the psychological sense of “me.” The mind is not a separate object sitting somewhere inside us, containing all these things. Rather, it is this continuous movement happening within us. Consider something very simple. You send someone a message, and they do not reply. First, there is perception. You see, “There is no reply.” That is simply what is happening in the present. Then memory becomes involved. Perhaps you remember that the same person ignored you previously. An old experience comes forward from memory. Then thought begins to connect the present with the past: “Maybe they are avoiding me.” The present event is no longer being seen by itself; it is being interpreted...

Education Is Not for Earning — It Is for Learning How to Live

Education Is Not Just About Knowledge — It Is About Preparing the Human Being for Life People often ask, “Why should I study mathematics? Why should I learn English? Why should I study science, history or literature? Ultimately, I have to earn my bread and butter.” There is some truth in this. But education is much deeper than earning a livelihood. Education is a process of organising and exercising the human faculties. When you learn mathematics, you are not merely learning numbers. You are exercising analysis, logic, reasoning, pattern recognition, attention and problem-solving. When you learn a language such as English, you are not merely learning vocabulary and grammar. You are practising expression, comprehension, communication, presentation and the ability to translate what is within you into something another human being can understand. When you study science, you practise observation, questioning, experimentation and the ability to distinguish evidence from assumption. When yo...

Disease Begins with a Cause. It Persists Through Memory - When the Body Learns Disease.

Disease Is Complicated. Memory Is Not. By Dr. Parth Modern medicine has spent centuries identifying the causes of disease. We have discovered bacteria, viruses, genetic mutations, toxins, nutritional deficiencies, environmental exposures, and countless biochemical pathways. These are all real, measurable, and important. But they answer only one question: What started the disease? They do not always answer another equally important question: What keeps the disease alive? This distinction is often overlooked. A cause initiates a process. A disease persists through mechanisms. An infection may trigger illness. A genetic mutation may predispose someone to cancer. A toxin may damage the liver. An injury may initiate chronic pain. These are causes—not necessarily the disease itself. Disease Is Not Just a Cause. It Is a Memory. Once the disease process is established, the body does not simply react once and forget. It begins to organize itself around new patterns. These patterns become increa...
