Complexities of Mind

Life offers surprises everyday and the list of events that either trouble you or delight are innumerable. Over the last few days I amount of events I have been exposed or rather I should say 'My psyche' has been exposed stand a testimony to the utmost and unrealistic complexities of human life. All i have been trying to capture over the last few days are really beyond comprehension to my mind. I tend to see even the monotonous activities in life with a implied or figurative meaning underlying. I have been exposed to several theories trying to explore several complexities of the mind. I use the word complexities of mind because when we say we are not able to understand some theories it is not that they are tough or not understandable. But, only the orientation of the mind or senses that determine the potential to simplify things and absorb them in a consumable fashion.

The important fact here is to tune the mind and not blame your potential to understand. Mind is the master of everything in life next only to the supernatural. For example, trying to analyze exams - what are exams? Certain standards required to be met by the process of institutionalization of education. But, in a symbolic sense what does an exam connote? Vertical and horizontal advancement of the mind to process more than what it used to do before. (May agree or may not :P). In a metaphysical sense, its used to combat the spirit of evil from defeating you which is what we call a Pass or Good marks in exams. Failure is considered to be yielding to the evil spirits in the battle. Exam is a very simple example.

However, there are more complex and complicated day to day realities of life. Lets take the concept of relative deprivation. In simple sense, it refers to the deprivation faced by an individual when he/she uses some social group as the reference. So what does it signify? What makes an individual think that he/she is deprived? is it because of the social construct of what is happiness or what one ought to enjoy? Probably, the deprived individual thinks that he has fallen short of what the social group is enjoying otherwise. Does this symbolically signify that the person is being pulled down by the anti-forces of internal harmony that ensures the alignment of mind and soul in a person.

First to deal all this in detail, there needs a very careful analysis of certain definitions. Mind? soul? what are all these? . This list is definitely unending. These are abstract realities and the definition of these terms lie on the individual who is trying or attempting to define these. The scales of measurement is primarily developed or designed by the individual in the context of personal and social milieu. While, I strongly think that these are left to the scope of individual comprehension and a external force to decode things would only be futile. However, there lies a social responsibility in every individual to contribute to the areas of lack of clarity.

Rest to be continued.
