In Two Minds

A person cannot be in two places at once, they say. Which sounds reasonable when you think of a place as a physical location. Like in Here and There, where we think of time and locations as fixed, but does that mean they are? We all do it, though, thinking of Then and Now sometimes as if they have no direct connection or bearing to each other than our own perception of them. A person being a link or bridge to the past and future, but without us being the connector, one does not know of the other.

However, it seems that is quite possibly not the case. That if you do not restrict your thought process or understanding of matter, then it is possible to project your being somewhere else or to what we would refer to as a different time. Perhaps the multiple versions and universes theory should be applied here as well, as that would mean there are many ‘locations’ for your own personal being.

But I suspect we know about these splits, convergences, and other anomalies which we try to allocate words to, phrases, and things that end up having extra meaning and are not ‘just a saying’ after all.

In two minds – when you are unsure or indecisive, knowing there are two options or choices and you explore the idea from both angles.

Knowing your own mind – when you are of a singular thought and will not be swayed.

Out of Your Mind – when your mind is full of rage or despair, taking refuge from reality by stepping outside of itself, often not with the most positive consequences.

Be Mindful of the Labyrinth – the mental landscape of our thoughts and minds likened to a labyrinth. Real ones and the film.

Stuck in Mind – a loop that can develop, where it seems a form of procrastination takes hold, where thinking about things can keep you thinking about things. A thought loop, where action is required to interrupt it or change it. Unless remains in that loop is your purpose, of course.

A wandering mind – when it occasionally might take a leave of absence, for good and bad. Entertaining perhaps that which might seem like fantasy, yet not fully appreciating the power of thought and imagination. Creating a reality somewhere, and if followed by action, can bring that into the physical realm. They say it all starts with an idea and be careful what you wish for. A wandering mind can indeed lead you astray.

These days, though, on the internet, media and entertainment feels like a battlefield for wanting to be in your thoughts. All competing for your attention, time, emotions, desires, and thoughts. Against each other and against you. Making it even more important to Choose Your Thoughts Wisely
