What is a Mind and body?

The mind is like the computer software and hard wares. I have heard numerous occasions, from many people quasi-explanation of the mind like this; The computer is the hardware which resembles the brain and the software of the computer is the mind. It is a good similitude, cleverly described and expounded.

The physicians have catalogue the brain of yours like a place of many compartments for different body functions. The brain is the nerve’s centre for your body and many messages send from different parts of your body are connected by the nervous systems which are meant for your body to experience external and internal sensation. All these sensations that your body feels would then relay all the information that the brain needs to know so that you could identify the information and execute the orders for your body reactions to the internal and external sensation experiences. The signals that the brain received from the body senses react to the external and internal conditions of the body and control the body movements. Thus, when you feel chill breeze, your skin hairs straighten-up causing goose pimples effect and your arms would automatically wrap around your body to generate body heats for warmth. In wars, when the soldiers are under extreme stress or fear, the body would generally feel instinctive about the ambience surrounding them. These instinct sensations are normally generated for body control and intuitions and when they hear any slight movements or gunshots from somewhere, they would automatically dogged for cover.

The instinct to take cover, to control the mind and body is for survival. The body reacts to instinct and intuition feelings. The body is the measuring instrument for the mind to gauge circumstances around it. Hence, sometimes you wonder whether your instinct and intuition effects are like the animals instincts and intuitions of your mind and body reactionary behaviours.

The brain surgeons operated and dissected the brain myriad of times but still they could not extract the mind from the greyish tissues. The brain itself is so complex and when they tried to learn more about the functions of the brain, they could vaguely tell you where the storage of the memories and information are stored. The information and memories are not seen inside the brain but inside the unseen mind. They have conceded that the mind is the memory bank and the microchip of the brain.

The Mind of yours receives interaction information from the brain pertinent to the body external and internal experiences. It synchronizes your mind and body reactions. It also callisthenically choreographs your idiosyncrasy characters and behaviours, talents, intelligence and emotion as a human being. Intelligence of yours develop and augmented from learning and experiencing to the circumstances and milieu that you see, hear, taste, feel and breathe. Without the physical body to experience and learn about the world around you would render you as being ignorant to your own self-consciousness as living beings. When you take for granted that you were born to the world for the purpose of just being alive and to die later, you could say that you are making yourself like a life form without any physical body. Mind and Body are always about learning and experiencing the world around you and also about the world within you. That is the price you gain not lose, when you realised that your body is good and your mind is god.

The mind is intangible. It has no matters or shapes, yet it is there for you to look at and understand vaguely. The mind of human beings is still a puzzling configuration for many psychologists or doctors because the cerebration of the human race and animals are very complex. None of them could actually point out for sure how the brain and the mind really works.

The mind is not outside or far away from you but near you, We are nearer than your jugular veins. The mind is really inside your brain if you must know. Without a brain, you would have no consciousness of the body and without a body, We are unable to learn, develop and gain knowledge through life experiences on earth or multiplying human bodies.

The mind is the consciousness

This consciousness is what they are really interested in and enthusiastically willing to delve and explore with profundity. The definition of a mind is very complex, just like you are trying to define and differentiate between the essence of Faith and Superstition, or Your Consciousness and Your Soul. Like the empirical question of a man and a woman or a chicken and an egg, which one of them came first?

If you ask any psychologists for the definition word of "I", they would say that it is actually the psyche, which comprises of many levels of thoughts and actions. These levels of thoughts and actions are multi-level process chain reaction. They pictured the analogy of the psyche of an individual like decks that contemporaneously concatenated with many chess players align above one another in multi-level complex sequence. When one player from a level moves, the rest of the chess players in other levels will subsequently move simultaneously. Like soldiers marching in precision during the parade manoeuvres. The analogy denotes the mind ability to function as a whole that represents the psyche or "I" of an individual that makes his or her existence and identity, unique and different from those around them.

The idea of Solipsism, Existentialism, Archetype and Collective thought forms, taught by many modern philosophers like Kierkegaard, Sartre, Heidegger, Sigmund Frued, Carl Jung and others, were some of the knowledge that admit the self as something existing or knowable.

I used to have a dream journal about more than two decades ago. Each time when I woke up from a dream, I would record the dream in that journal while it was still fresh in my mind, whether it was in a day time or night time. I did that just to analyze what the dreams all about and just for my own reference during my researched work while on a soul searching journey.

Well, now, I have stop doing that.

I will be sharing those dreams I had within this thread with you.

THE NUN AND CHILDREN

On the night of 17th November 2004, I had a dream.

There was a nun. She led me to a ward that was very congested. It was inside this ward that I saw young women and girls. They wore dresses that were biege in colour. They were all suffering from illness that looked like leprosy. There were wounds and bloods all over their body. Some were so bad that they bandaged their head and their dresses were stained in blood. It looked as though there was a war going on scene with many injured people. Then she spoke to me, 'Joe, these are the children that I am taking care. They need help and they need no money; but all they need is my love.'

All of them were looking at me as I was walking along the centre pathway in the ward. The nun was walking next to me. I noticed most of them were Asian origins and they looked very sad. I did not manage to see the face of the nun. I saw her hands were white skin and she spoke English to me. By the looked of her hands, I could see that she was not an old nun but maybe around late thirties or in her early forties. She wore white headdress with black attire. It was the conventional Catholic Nun robe that she was wearing. And then I woke up and it was already dawn.

The first recorded dream that I had was sometime back in the late 90s.

MAN IN THE PORTRAIT

The first dream I had was about the potrait of a man in black attire.

"I was in the grand hall where there were many large potraits hanging on the wall. I saw a group of children gathering in front of me, viewing a large potrait. Though I was watching them from behind, I felt their deep admirations for the portrait that they were looking at. Awhile later the children moved away from the portrait so I approached the portrait out of curiosity because I wanted to know who was in that portrait and why they admired it so intensely.

I saw a man in black attire but I could not see his face because it was covered with white mists. I saw on his left palm a tattoo of an eagle. The eagle was diving down with its wings spread out just like The United States of America military eagle insignia. Without thinking, I look at my own left palm and there it was, the same identical eagle tattoo just like in the portrait of the man." And then I woke up.

THE SAMURAI SWORD

I was kneeling on my knees and with my head bending downward. I clearly felt that there was a Samurai sword above my head waiting to strike my neck though I did not see it. So I heard my own voice saying to myself, "Come on, do it quickly'." And then I heard a voice shouted "No!" very loudly. I woke up with the fear of death.

THE EVACUATION

I was walking towards a man in khaki uniform. He was watching a group of people coming out from a building and there were black uniform soldiers standing on the streets with rifles in their hands. When I came closed from behind this man, he suddenly turned around and saluted me.

I asked him, "Which unit you're from?"
He replied, "From the Milan Unit, Sir!"
Then he asked me, "Are you the last five, Sir."

When he questioned me that, I was confused and I did not know how to reply him. I woke up.

This was not a dream. It was in the late 90s.

THE SCOTTISH SOLDIERS

There was one occasion I was half asleep and half awake. I opened up my eyes and I saw four Scottish soldiers standing at attention. They were in kilts and I saw their Scottish army berets. On their breasts there were many war decorations and medals as though they were proud to show me of their war valour honours that they had possessed.

Their faces were concealed with white mists and I could not see their faces. The impression I had was that they were The Gordon Highlanders of the British Army.

THE INVASION

I was walking on top of a cliff towards its edge. When I reached the edge of the cliff, I saw myriad of battleships and I saw many landing crafts carrying troops towards the beach. I felt frightened because I knew the American task force was invading the island that I was on. With fear I told myself that I needed to hide from them and I felt afraid of death. And then I woke up in cold sweat.

This was not a dream. This happened in the late 90s. I would term it as a phenomenal experience.

THE INTERROGATION

I was sleeping and then I suddenly woke up. I felt cool breeze was going through me and around my body. I was able to move but I was half-asleep and half-awake. The cool breeze felt like the cool air coming out from your refrigerator when you open it. I felt goose pimples all over my skin and then the cool breeze became wild. It became faster in its motion and as the cool breeze continued, then suddenly with a force sensation it went up right through my nostrils. I could feel it because its like you take a short deep breath and my head would jerk backward.

I heard an angry voice. It was a male voice and I knew he was not alone. He sounded like a White man with an Australian accent.

He shouted, "WAKE-UP!" Then I felt the cool breeze forcefully went into my nostrils again.

I opened up my eyes and listened.

"What is your name?!" he demanded.

Somehow another I replied in a sleepy tone, "Watson." I said that spontaneously without thinking and it was like auto speech.

"Nobody returns to this place! Nobody reincarnated and returned to this place!" He was very angry and he continued interrogating me.

"Now tell me what is your name?!" he shouted.

"Michael Samuel Watson" I replied like an auto speech.

"That is not possible. Nobody leaves this place and later returns to this place Watson." He was crying when he said that and I felt as though he knew a person named Watson in his life. Then he left together with his friends.

I went back to sleep and I could still remember that incident very clearly the next morning.

DREAM ONE

I was walking a jungle path and then I heard myself saying in English, "Take Cover". A few seconds later I heard myself saying loudly in English, "Okay, you can come out now." In front of me I saw an Asian man in his army fatigue coming out from the bushes. His attire was like those American's WW2 green uniform and helmet. He was carrying like a Mark 4 rifle used during WW2.


DREAM TWO

I saw from a distance from high above, a white aircraft crashed into the sea. I saw its hind tail and its side wings in wreckage, floating in the water. The sun was shining on it."

The impression I got from this dream was that the plane, maybe C130 Aircraft had crashed while it was flying to other part of Vietnam upon reaching Vietnam during the Vietnam War. There were U.S. Marines on board the plane. None of them had survived in that plane crashed.


DREAM THREE

I was walking down a steel staircase. As I walked down, I noticed there were mesh wires at the side of this staircase. I happened to look on my left shoulder and I saw two white pips on my shoulder strap. I was wearing a blue uniform. I sort of I knew that I was wearing a prison warder uniform.

DARK FIGURE

In this dream, it was like a dream within a dream.

I was sleeping and then suddenly I woke up. I saw a black figure looking down from above me. It was totally black and it has no face features. It was completely a black phantom. I could not move my body and inside myself I was struggling to free myself. It did not hold me down but I was completely immobile. The black figure raised its right hand and I saw it was holding a paper neatly rolled like those ancient Chinese gold bars shape. I realised it was a hell bank note with a silver square in the middle that the Chinese Taoist would burn for offerings to their decease loved ones in Hereafter. The black figure was trying to force that paper into my mouth. I managed to retaliate and I woke up with a cold sweat.

A few days later, I dreamt of this same black entity. This time it was just sitting nearby my head and it was just looking at me. It had a human mask in its left hand and it used it to cover and uncover its face with that human mask. As it did that, I could hear its voice speaking to me. It was a male voice and he was talking to me through my own mind, as though like telepathy. He spoke to me in English.

"I call myself 'Mask of Mankind'." And then I woke up.

MOMENT OF DEATH

2000

Dream 1

I was in a car. I was sitting at the back seat. Suddenly, I heard and saw salvo of bullets fired through the back doors of the car. I felt the bullets hit my body but yet I did not feel any pain. I saw the bullets kept coming through the doors and I felt no pain. It felt like fingerlike thugs sensations on my body. Then I wondered to myself, "Is this what death is and I am already dead?" There were no feelings of fear but I was amazed at the bullet kept coming through the doors and it went through my body. Then I woke up.


2001

Dream 2

I saw fire all around me. I felt the fire was burning my body but I felt no pain. I felt tingles like needles and pins sensation on my body but there was no pain. I felt numbness sensations on my body. I knew I was already dead but yet I did not see anybody watching my body being burned or cremated. It was an open space. Nobody were there. I did not feel frightened or anxious and I just watched the fire around me. I felt and I knew that my body was contracting as the fire kept burning it. Then I woke up.

A MONK

I was walking and as I walked I happened to look down. I saw my robe. I was wearing a yellow clothing with a maroon safron over my chest. Then I saw my left hand as it was in motion. I saw my hand was a White man's hand.

A SHAMAN

I saw a Black woman. She had short black curly hair. Her face was like those cover girl models of those vogue magazines and she was very beautiful. She was slimmed and I was admiring her beauty. I was like falling in love with her feminine appearance. I looked at her and she smiled at me sweetly to say, "I was a shaman in Africa a long time ago." She had an American accent.

This dream was very strange for me. It was like I had a personal spirit guide or mediator while the souls from the spirit unseen realm were trying to communicate with me.

THE MEDIATOR

I was sort like in a fast food chain outlet. Then I saw a group of young Chinese male teenagers with gangster behaviours. They were sitting across a table where I was sitting too. Then I saw a young Caucasian woman. She had short shoulder length blonde hair. She was slimmed and very beautiful. And she spoke to me.

"Okay Joe, now you have an eye." She had an American accent.

Those young gangsters sitting apposite me were happy when they heard the Caucasian woman said that to me. I knew exactly what the Caucasian woman meant when she spoke to me like that. She would be the communicator for me while I spoke to those guys sitting across me. She was like a mediator for me and those guys were actually trying to ask me to write about their group's ideas or philosophy while they were in prison.

COLLEGE STUDENTS

I was walking along the pavement at the side of a busy main road. Then suddenly out from nowhere a fair skin Malay teenage girl in her school uniform approached me and spoke to me. The girl was in her college uniform and I never met her before in my life.

She said, "'Abang (Brother) Joe, can you help me?"
"What help?" I replied.
"Please help me. Come with me."

I followed her. We crossed the busy main road and walked toward a residential block apartment. We walked up the stairways to the second floor. There I saw a group of college students and all of them were from the same college. I knew this because they were all wearing similar uniforms. There were about five of them. There were all Malay males and females. Some were sitting down and some were just lying on the floor. They became attentive after they saw me. They were silent and all of them looked at me. I could feel that they were happy, pleased and hopeful. Then the girl who had approached me at the main road spoke to me, standing among her colleagues while the rest of them listened.

"We are all drug addicts. We died as drug addicts. Please help us."

I was so surprised and shocked until I spontaneously said to them, "No! No! How can this be! All of you are smart. How can this be!" I knew I was also feeling a little bit angry with them too as I blurted out that statement but at the same time I felt sympathetic for them. They knew I was angry with them and I saw that they were sort of feeling ashamed of themselves. I felt they should have been smarter. I never got myself involved with drugs in my whole life. Then I said, "Okay, I will help you."

The girl replied, "When you read your books, we want you to read it with your sincere heart and please read them wisely." And then I woke up.

FEMALE GANGSTERS

I was on top a spacious concrete platform. It was as though I was standing in the front entrance of City Hall situated at the Esplanade in Singapore. The City Hall was the Supreme Court of Singapore. I saw a group of Chinese female teenagers walking down the steps in front of me and somehow another I knew specifically that they were a group of young female teenager gangsters. One of them suddenly stopped and turned around to query me. She seemed very happy. She was smiling and laughing together with her friends. They had tattoos on their arms and behind their body. They wore attires like those female gangsters would adorn on themselves.

She turned around and asked me, "What is your name?"

"Joe" I replied.

She smiled at me happily and she chased after her friends to continue walking with them.

THE ANCIENT WARRIOR

I saw an ancient warrior frozen in a block of ice. Suddenly, the ice began to melt and this ancient warrior came back to life. He rose from his repost position and he had a broad sword. His attire was like those ancient Greek soldier or Roman soldier. He had blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He looked very handsome and muscular. His hair was like Bob hairstyle like in ancient times. He looked at me and he showed me his broad sword that was decorated with fine stones on its handle.

THE CONQUEROR

I saw a long stretched of people walking in the snow. They looked weak and hungry. They were walking very slowly and the climate was sombre. They were all wearing dark clothings and I seemed to have the impression that they were conquered by my army. Then I heard a voice telling me that, "They were supposed to be killed by us but we let them walked out from their village so that they will not be killed."

I thought about this particular dream seriously because it seemed that I was that individual who conquered those people. I felt lousy about it. I felt I was an Asian man from the Mongol tribe.

HOVERING

I was on board a bus. I saw many people inside the bus but none of those passengers were Asians. I saw many buildings as the bus travelled along the road. I did not see my own body nor was I looking through somebody else's eyes. I was like viewing all these from eye level height and I felt like I was floating in the air.

It was night time and there were so many buildings along the road side. It was like those buildings in the United Kingdom similar to those colonial buildings that can be found in Singapore, with greyish concrete block walls patterned according to brick laying standard. I felt fascinated and happy. The bus was travelling through many roads, big and narrow roads, turning here and there, as though I was sightseeing like a tourist. Then I heard a voice spoke to me, "Oh..man, we are about sixty miles from London." It was a male voice and he sounded like an American Black man.

I dreamt of this in 2001

THE ELEPHANT MAN

I saw a tiny figure squatting on a wall that divided two lush green gardens. I recognized these gardens for I have seen it while I was living in Bali from 1992 to 1995. These gardens were at Kuta beach front of Bali Resort Hotel.

He seemed to stare at a far distant facing the garden that was situated on the right hand side. Then he saw me and approached me. He was a young White man. He has blonde hair. He had four deep blue eyes. He had a small nose of an elephant snout. There were bristles below his snout. He had a small mouth. He had a small face.

He was so thin and I could see his rib cage bones. He looked dirty and he was only wearing a small white loincloth. He was bare footed.

He looked at me straight in the eyes and likewise I looked at him too. We did not talk. He looked miserable and I was wondering why he was miserable. Then I woke up.

I know this dream make me think of him for a long time for he was actually trying to tell me something that I do not understand. I dreamt of this while I was reading the memoirs of Mahatma Gandhi.
