Mind (pronounced /ˈmaɪnd/) is the aspect of intellect and consciousness experienced as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination, including all unconscious cognitive processes. The term is often used to refer, by implication, to the thought processes of reason. Mind manifests itself subjectively as a stream of consciousness. Theories of mind and its function are numerous. Earliest recorded speculations are from the likes of Zoroaster, the Buddha, Plato, Aristotle, Adi Shankara and other ancient Greek, Indian and, later, Islamic philosophers. Pre-scientific theories grounded in theology concentrated on the supposed relationship between the mind and the soul, human's supernatural, divine or god-given essence. Which attributes make up the mind is much debated. Some psychologists argue that only the higher intellectual functions constitute mind, particularly reason and memory. In this view the emotions—love, hate, fear, joy—are more primitive or subjective in nature and should be seen as different from the mind as such. Others argue that various rational and emotional states cannot be so separated, that they are of the same nature and origin, and should therefore be considered all part of what we call the mind. In popular usage mind is frequently synonymous with thought: the private conversation with ourselves that we carry on "inside our heads." Thus we "make up our minds," "change our minds" or are "of two minds" about something. One of the key attributes of the mind in this sense is that it is a private sphere to which no one but the owner has access. No one else can "know our mind." They can only interpret what we consciously or unconsciously communicate. From Wikipedia under the

I can't speak for everyone, but I think that the best way to tell if your thoughts are Christ's thoughts would be to really step back and think about what you know of God. If what you're thinking is in line with the truths you know about God, then you are probably O.K. However, if your thoughts seem to lead you in a direction that is self serving or sinful, then you know it must not be of God.

Try to watch the thoughts come, but just observe. Hear your own voice in your head, but still, just witness it. View your thoughts like you view a TV, just watch it. Do not attach to any thoughts, do not feel emotional about any thoughts. Become stillness. Become space, empty still black space. Feel peace and innocence in your pure raw space. No thoughts, no idea of who you are, no feelings about your current situation. Just be the moment of stillness right now. -Sometimes I throw pebbles one at a time into a still body of water, and watch the ripples expand. Allow your own attention to be like these ripples.
