What Color is a Mind?

What Color is a mind?


A Class of first graders sat down for a lesson. The lesson was on tolerance and treating people fairly. The world in its busted up state had so many problems with racism and hate because of differences and colors that, obviously, many first graders have a hard time understanding it.


The teacher drew stick figures in various colors and sizes holding hands around a heart. She talked to the kids and said "people come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. We share this world together and the differences between us is what makes the world beautiful."


A little boy in the back row, who is often quiet in class and keeps to himself, asked the teacher, "what color is a mind, teacher?"


The teacher, taken aback by this unusual question, looked a little baffled and confused. She looked at the boy and said "I honestly don't know if a mind has a color, buddy."


Unsatisfied, the boy asked the teacher another question, "what shape is a mind?" 


Again the teacher was puzzled and perplexed by such unusual, yet somewhat profound questions coming from one of her students.


She answered "honestly, buddy, I don't know if a mind has a shape. These are good questions, though."


The boy was still unsatisfied, and he asked one last question, "what size is a mind, teacher."


The teacher was very challenged by these questions coming from someone so young. After thinking on them for a few days, she was struck with a realization. The little boy, in asking such innocent questions, had stumbled upon one of the most important and profound truths of being human. The mind of every person on the planet, at its core, was sizeless, shapeless, and colorless, regardless of the size, shape and color of who has that mind...and the mind is the core component of a person's being. 


It is the essence of who everyone is at our base and core.


...and it is shapeless, sizeless, and colorless.


Prejudice only sees the simple, the surface, and the trivial. Enlightenment and understanding lights up our core.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
