| Mind is the entity formed from the evolving mental activity of a person and can be thought of as the accumulated thinking of one's life to date. All mental activity takes place using the symbols of language. Even mental images are interpreted and understood only through language, so at a fundamental level, mind and language are intertwined to the point of being inseparable. Helen Keller, who became blind and deaf as an infant, wrote in her autobiography that before her teacher broke through her mental darkness by communicating language through the sense of touch, she could feel objects and react to experiences but not understand them. When she was in the warm sunshine, she would feel the warmth, but had no words to describe or understand it. After the sense of touch was used to link language with her experiences, she began to develop her awareness of life. She went on to become an articulate writer, and even a public speaker. Individual mind revolves around the nucleus of name. Every person alive has a name. Your thoughts and experiences are linked to your pattern of thinking, which is linked directly to your name. Once you study this principle, you will come to realize that when a name is changed, the thinking changes, and therefore the pattern of experiences changes. The name is the formula of mental energies that you translate to create your life. Mind expresses as qualities of intelligence that can be either constructive or destructive. These qualities of intelligence are related directly to the mathematical formula of the name. The 1 quality, when found in the name, can express constructively as individuality and independence or destructively as dominance and self-centredness. The 2 quality expresses constructively as diplomacy and understanding, or destructively as lacking in confidence and procrastination. The 3 quality expresses constructively as enthusiasm and self-expression, or destructively as intolerance and argumentativeness. Each number, from 1 to 9, encompasses a complete sphere of related mental qualities. These qualities express constructively if combined in a balanced manner in the name. If the name is unbalanced, these qualities can express destructively as discordant thinking patterns. Once you realize that your thinking is measurable through this unique application of mathematics, and that these qualities of mental expression are linked to the mental laws relative to name, inner potential, and cycles, you will have a new avenue to understand the mechanics of mind. Think of individual mind as a receiving instrument - not unlike a radio - that receives and translates universal impulses of reason. The mathematical balance of the name translates this reason into either a balanced or a discordant expression depending on how the forces of intelligence are combined. Some radios pick up static, or two broadcasts on the same radio frequency. An unbalanced name causes the mind to receive conflicting impulses that result in confusion and discord, thereby expressing destructive qualities of mind rather than constructive ones; anger rather than happiness, irritation rather than patience, criticism rather than understanding, narrow-mindedness rather than vision. What happens when the keys of a piano are struck randomly without using the principle of musical harmony? When parents choose a name without an understanding of the principle of language as the vehicle for consciousness, they may unwittingly affect the child’s future adversely. The child will reflect the lack of harmony in the name in his or her life and suffer accordingly. Life, through the principle of duality, is both physical and mental. Both aspects of life operate under mathematical laws. By understanding these laws, we can predict the behavior governed by these laws. When a chemist combines one element with another, he can predict the resultant chemical reaction. The chemist built his confidence in the theories of chemical interaction by testing and proving them in the laboratory. By studying Kabalarian Philosophy, you can predict the behavior and expression of mind by analyzing the influence of the names used. As you gain experience testing and proving this theory of mind in your everyday life you will know why Peter expresses independence and originality, why Ruby is expressive, why Julian is detailed and thorough, why Terry is driven by challenge but prone to tension and temper,and why Diana procrastinates and relies on other people’s opinions. Even though every individual is unique, the name one uses operates within a range of mental expression. There are other laws to consider fully to appreciate mind, but the name operates as a basic principle for all people. Everything in your life is linked to your thinking pattern. Discover the principle of balancing thinking to become master of your destiny.
