“Whenever possible, substitute constructions out of known entities for inferences to unknown entities.” Bertrand Russell

As the mind evolved it too evolved the process of substituting fabricated constructions subconsciously for the unknown even during self-reflection, constructions that permeate and populate conscious perception.

What is our mind and what is on our mind are very different things. As someone who at times 'hears' other peoples thoughts, and can prove it, i am well aware that what is on our mind is not always even ours! Having clear abilities of resonation and emanation is very crucial in incarnating clearly and without dis/ease.

"What is the first business of one who practices philosophy? To get rid of self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows." - Epictetus, from Discourses, Book II, ch. 17 c. 100ad
