Nothingness in us
The complexity of brain-mind processes and the importance of understanding them beyond just words, advocating for a broader, big-picture perspective.
“Nothing” — it is just a word. At the quantum level, everything is small and unseen; to us, that is nothing. So, I am saying that even within us, during meditation, we are shutting down brain activity to less activity but not towards nothingness.
Now the word “nothingness” might sometimes be used in a spiritual context — but when we slowly shut down at night towards sleep where are we heading — towards “nothingness” in sleep, until we dream, then hey what’s that, perception in mind while I am sleeping — we give it a word dreaming.
So be careful of trying to understand the brain-mind using only words. language. Try and see the processes for what they are and especially so in a larger context, top down big picture way — baseline processes. Everything is so complicated in us in how we work — if you look at the baseline processes then you can see how the rest work by the way things arise from them.
So in this way lets look at the brain operating processes — mind spaces in you:
Look at the brain operating frequencies:
There are about 5 main mind spaces in you. That is not much to deal with if you want to try and understand them to see how…
