Can
the mind be measured? Is the mind merely an electrical response as per medical
and some scientific thought or is it a consciousness which is not physical or
electrical and something else?
In
a way the mind can be measured by its content such as its agendas, brain
washing, conditioning and the like, yet this is only the content and is
information and data.
When
one says let us go deep into the mind this maybe to view, brain storm, ruminate
and compute and reconfigure certain logical, scientific, philosophical
conjectures however these are thoughts and deep here might mean the deeper
meaning to the above.
From
a meditative point of view and this depends what one means by meditation, not
being, visualisations, imagery, hypnosis, mandala, yantra. affirmations,
prayer, supplication, trance and such like but merely watching thoughts such
like attention without intention, looking without bias, awareness without
judgement, then when the thoughts subside and seem to have no substance and one
is aware and not sluggish, soporific and dull and inert, but alert aware and
vitally alive without thought, then there is no depth or height or and
measurable something to be able to get a handle on.
Perhaps
one can measure the electrical activity in the brain but this is not a tangible
thing. It shows the activity of the mind
but not its content or consciousness. From this point of view like space it is not measurable unless it has a point
of reference to perhaps triangulate or compute, but space is space and the
empty mind, not of stupor and lassitude, in its joy and bliss and inner peace
is merely a stand alone entity and being without depth, height, high, low or
any position, it is open wide and all embracing, it is seamless and is what it
is and therefore beyond all aspects of measurement.
To
the experienced it feels limitless and eternal and vast and yet not definable
so all sorts of measurement and containment, description and explanation fall
by the wayside.
