Mind Field
"Return to Mind Control Index"
The Mind Field is the 'area' of the mind. It is the blueprint in which all mental activity goes on and in which all information is stored. All different thought-forms exist in there. This field is the container holding all of the mind's content; the different kinds of thought-forms.
You can picture this field as a personal space within the universal space; an individual energy field within the universal energy field. Every thought is a local disturbance, a local fluctuation within the universal field. Though individual in nature, the mind field is universal in essence; meaning that all minds are eventually connected, but if we want to be enlightened we need to master our individual nature in order to realize our universal essence.
There are latent and active thought-forms. Both exist in the mind field though the latent thought-forms are often beyond recognition. The latent is of a much subtler, inactive nature and that makes it hard to discover. The best way to get to know the latent is by observing the active, because the two have an inseparable correlation. As soon as the latent impressions in the mind are triggered and activated, they express themselves in the mind-field as thoughts; the active aspect. By analyzing, or: Witnessing the mind-field and the active thought-forms that present themselves in the mind-field at any time, you will slowly discover the latent thought-forms that form the the mind's structure.
Every thought-form that arises will take it's place in the mind field for a certain period of time. As soon as the thought-form dissolves or lowers back into the latent impression that it originated from, it is no longer an active thought-form. That's why even though an individual may silence these active thought forms and experience superficial silence for the moment, it does not mean that he fully enlightened, liberated, because as soon as he is disturbed by a certain external event or internal thought (see: Sources of thought), the latent will still be triggered and express itself actively in the mind-field. So enlightenment is not simply the temporary inactivity of the active thought-forms; that is meditation, or temporary Mind Control. It is not until even the most latent thought-forms are roasted or dissolved that the individual soul is enlightened.
This mind field is what we will be dealing with most of the time when we dedicate ourselves to the practice of Mind Control, yoga and meditation. Especially in the beginning will the active aspect of the mind field be your primary play-ground.
