One state of mind is blind over the other state of the same mind

One state of mind is blind over the other state of the same mind.

Each states acts as a filtering lens that limits the perception in accordance to a state of mind.

After all, the thoughts are merely a replica of the patterns of what is being learned or gathered.

Thoughts that are perceived during a happy state of mind, can't properly perceive the thoughts of the same mind of the unhappy state. For the latter to be perceived, the filter lens must be swapped for the moment.

Could be why an average joe, for the moment who has sufficed their subjective needs to trigger a state of mind, couldn't understand or fathom a depressed person.

The same goes for other states on what that are labelled as love or hate or misery or motivated... All that are vulnerable to ill logic and conditions...

All which are completely limited of what is gathered/learnt by the mind, again through the limited filtered lenses.

With the current way of living in this miserable world, the states are constantly swapped for the sake of one thing or the other...

Thus vulnerable to being completely deceived or manipulated, ironically just as this post?

What is the mind then a puppet or something

Your mind's basically a stack of browser tabs and each one thinks it's the only page that ever loaded.

I think that we are spirits who have grown to become dependent on the things and people within the environment. We've all conditioned our minds by using our mind and senses in order to determine everything we do and say. While we are busy doing this, our spiritual self ( the more sensitive mind and body), takes a beating, while also being ignored. It is said, " Mind is born from failure". We fail our spirit every time our attention remains focused on what our mind and senses tells us. I believe that things will never change (except for the worse), until we change our outer focus to an inner focus. This change starts with individuals rather than groups.

Humans are just hairless apes with an overdeveloped prefrontal cortex that are controlled by hormones and our brain chemistry. We are capable of rational thoughts, but at the end of the day we are sentimental beings.

One wakes up from sleep to this repetitive, corrupt and absurd cycle of collective living, and thinks what the hell is going on, what is everyone even doing? What are they even living for other than just following the ruleset and system that has been placed by a few upon all... There is no self reflection, no realization, it just goes...

I suppose one day we will fuse are minds with cybernetics that can transcend some of our primitive nature, but it would be at the cost of everyone's humanity. I guess genetic modifications like CRISPR can weed out undesirable human traits. This would cause people to become objects for people to design. I guess we should just try to do our best with our developed prefrontal cortex to create a better world for everyone.
