The Theatre of Our Minds

The mind is a wonderful phenomenon

It can’t be seen or read, or duplicated

Nor controlled fully by the person

It wanders uncontrollably at times

From and to many extremes, and places

The conscious and the unconscious

And what about it’s relationship to the body?

Thoughts, real or imagined, good and bad

Creating the will to carry out actions with or without intent

 

Sensations from mind to body, desire, hatred

Perceptions, deep inner feelings and reactions

The experience of pain, either physical or emotional can dominate our thoughts

Beliefs, desires, feelings, being acted out

on the stage, in the grand theatre of our minds.
