Rational Thinking and how it consumes Awareness | The Subjective Nature of Reality
What is human rationality? Do we live within a matrix of subjective patterns? Are we trapped in the first Attention.
Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today would like to share with you about my understanding of the mind from the prospective of rational awareness.
Rationality is the quality or state of being rational that is, being based on or agreeable to reason. Rationality implies the conformity of one's beliefs with one's reasons to believe, and of one's actions with one's reasons for action.
The rational side of humanity can be divided into two categories of perception.
Preference awareness
Concept construction
Preference awareness is humanities ordinary awareness. Preference awareness also imprisons the mind by consuming its attention and compelling the mind to become absorbed by its preferences and this process occurs because of the minds innate ability to recognize patterns. Since Pattern recognition is unavoidable and is the main or majority state of consciousness that most humans exist within, you could say that it is man’s natural state or that it is the comfort zone for the mind.
Pattern recognition is an unconscious state where the brain identifies patterns that it can use to predict and expect what is coming, the brain by making the connection between memories and information perceived, identifies familiar patterns and from this the individual is able to construct a mental representations of their situation.
It is not possible to ignore preference awareness, as these patterns give order to our lives, they give us meaning and purpose, but they also consume us, compel us and drive us to obsession. But the fact that there are a multitude of preferences also shows that we can choose whether to accept our preferences or to discard them.
Concept construction is the highest state that the rational side of the mind can achieve. It has its roots in a Monotheistic idea of reality. This Monotheistic view focuses on the philosophical idea that there is one God or one interconnected multi dimensional reality, a singular Divine, which manifests it in many ways, including as the Christian Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but equally so are concepts such as Mindfulness.
The act of Mindfulness is a final development of the monotheistic view and concept construction, since mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment. And this has the effect of stepping the mind outside of its natural preferences and into a moment by moment awareness of the subjective nature of reality.
