Mind

"A man is but his state of mind."

"When anyone can still the minds of five, ten or hundred people, then work can be accomplished. Who can still the mind? It is the one whose own mind is still, he can still the minds of others."

"When our mental functioning is whittling away and our mind becomes a lame duck, perception does not form the context anymore and all connections on the social chessboard are conked out. Only patience and endurance may draw us out of the quagmire of numbness and allow us to tear open the cloudy screen that is hiding our points of ‘interest’ and ‘attention’, so long as we focus on the ‘singular moments’ and the ‘appealing details’ in our life. Awareness can help us shape a comprehensive picture for a functional future. ("Lost the global story.")"

"If our mind remains freeze-framed by inhibiting and hampering habits, in an ever-changing world, we won’t be able to get rid of that weird feeling of not belonging anywhere and not taking part in authentic life challenges. ("Not on the shortlist")"

"Mediation on the Holy Scriptures, awakens our mind on Christ Jesus."

"To have a mind of Christ Jesus is to be full of compassion."

"A president should be approachable; understanding of people's problems and needs; he should be fair and equitable; he should listen with an open mind and a closed mouth; he shouldn't make a decision without all the facts and above all else, he must be honest to the people. Anything else and he shouldn't be president."

"When your situation seems pathless and hopeless, this happens just because your mind is not talented enough to find a hope and to create a path!"

"Spend your time with the people who talk about the stars because to whichever place you put your mind in, you will move to that place! Stars pull you to the stars; mud pulls you to the mud!"

"What we call 'normal' is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience."

"You hear with your ears, but you listen with an open mind."

"No mind seems more peaceful than the mind of a sleeping innocent child because life has not yet planted the seeds of sorrow in that mind!"

"To storm, a mind, it must be balanced,by what can't be it must be challenged..."

"Our dominant idea about the mind fail to recognise the conflict between the two sides of the mind — the mind as machine and the mind as anti-machine, delighting in its powers of combination and transgression. They fail as well to appreciate the extend to which the relative presence of these two sides of the mind is influenced by the organisation of society and of the culture, with the result that the history of politics is internal to the history of the mind. In these as in many other respects, our beliefs about ourselves resist acknowledging the relation between our context-shaped and our context-transcending identities and powers."

"The mind is masterpiece."

"Not your eyes but the capacity of your mind determines how well you see the things happening around you!"

"One of the brain's most prominent skills is the ability to ignore anything that becomes too predictable, no matter how important it may be"

"Sometimes solitude is a real heaven for the tired minds and a marvellous sanctuary for the wounded souls!"

"Maybe he wouldn't end up the kind of man who needed to use his body for work. Maybe he'd be a new kind of black man altogether, one who got to use his mind."

"In the beginning was the word and the word was love and love was imagination. When love takes us through the sun-dappled garden of our imagination, no stalking horses can perturb the rainbow in our mind or fade out its bright colors reflecting in the blue sky of our memory. ("Alpha and Omega")"
