The Mind

I was thinking about a distinction between the mind and the content of the mind. 

The mind is an empty space without a boundary. It is an internal universe.

The content of the mind is therefore realtive in size. 

The content of the mind is all our thinking and memory.

Our awarness chooses how relatively big the content of the mind is. 

It does this by focusing in on the content or by becoming aware of the vastness of the space around the content.

The content is constantly trying to get the attention of the awareness.

It dwells on problems, future, time, fear, doubt, criticism, uncertainty, anger, hurt. 

All these things it uses to try to pull the awareness to it.

It is easy for the awareness to become lost within it. 

Consciously withdraw the awareness from the mind's content.

See what takes place.
