    The mind is the source of all experience. True nature of Mind is limitless, transcendent awareness and creative power. Thoughts and beliefs which direct the human minds activity, when mistaken, distort and constrict it. Consequently, a change must be achieved in order to correct perceptions and restore the mind to full potential. "Let this Mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." (phil. 2:5)
    If a mind perceives without love, it conducts an outward search and perceives an empty shell and remains unaware of the spirit within that perception. Love is the spiritual vehicle of Mind which goes not outside of Self. Within itself, it has no limit and no misunderstanding.

    The human mind is an amazing thing and is capable of learning and teaching more things than we use it for. There was a study I heard about in which we only use about 10% or something like that of what our minds are actually capable of.

    I think the mind is intertwined with the soul. The mind carries out actions that are carried out by the soul. It is one of the things that we need and make choices on as we have free will. The mind performs activities that may be shell directed. The mind is sometimes unaware of what the soul wants or needs. This is my perception anyway. We have free will and thoughts.

    Truth turns to bullshit in the human mind just like food turns to excrement in the human body. Mind that serves God's Purpose is unlimited forever, always and in all ways....beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions and with the strength and power to do whatever it is asked. The awakened Mind is One....and knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness.

    Contrary to popular belief the mind is not a black box and we aren't machines. The active use of our imaginations and the feeling of being inside our own head, our own world surpasses any ideological thinking in my opinion because we experience ourselves as we live, we all experience life differently.

    I think that the nature of the human mind is too complex to really fathom. We can figure out that there are electrical signals and things going on between synapses when we think. To think though how we have this thought process that is ever developing is pretty insane.

    The human mind and our conscience is simply amazing to a point where it's scary when I, ironically, think about it. I too have heard that we only use 10% of our brain power and if that is true, then what could a human be capable of if they were using the full potential of their brain.

    There are people who have been said to read others mind or be able to move things with their mind and we're very quick to dismiss them as complete bull, but what if they are actually using parts of their brain that are not yet "unlocked" to others? It certainly makes one wonder.

    That "fact" that we use "only 10% of our brain" is complete hogwash. Yes we don't use our whole brain for conscious though, but we use it for all the unconscious, mechanism of keeping our body alive and other processed we aren't aware of.
    How this ever got twisted and inserted into pop science that we only utilize a small fraction of brain power I'd like to know (i'm sure there is a long winded theory/article on it somewhere.)

    The nature of the brain is fairly straight forward, it's a collection of cells that act as the central point for nervous systems. It's not a unique system to humans, most of the animal kingdom has a similar setup, ours is just more complex. Although there is still debate, and subsequent research around how exactly the brain does what it does, but I am very confident that we will reach these answers in the coming years or perhaps decades.

    There are so many theories as to the "nature of the human mind" this one is probably one of my favorite:

    I think human mind has developed more than it should, now we understand more than is good for us, unlike other animals we understand the nature, the world and how it's pointless. nature has created something beyond itself.

    The human mind is the most complex thing ever created by Jesus Christ, the true God and Savior. It's more complex than any computer anyone could invent. And if evolution is true, then how can you trust your thoughts or emotions? It's all just random chance according to evolution. But nope, we were created intelligently by an intelligent Creator who designed us. He gave you your conscience, emotions, electrical impulses like fight or flight response, etc.
