The Mental Matrix

The core of the Individual is a physical body, which is enveloped in a thinking mind. The current understanding of the mind is based on either the conscious/unconscious model of Freud; or on the analytical/reactive model of Hubbard. But none of these models explain what is happening in the mind.

We apply the mathematical notion of matrix to Beingness. The individual is a matrix of physical elements surrounded by a matrix of mental elements. Physical implies matter and energy; mental implies thought. We call physical matrix the body; and the mental matrix the mind. The mental elements may be referred to as “percels” (perceptual elements) because the mind produces perception by organizing these elements.

When the mind senses, it breaks those sensations into percels, and assimilates them into the mental matrix. The assimilation establishes continuity, consistency and harmony among the percels. The degree of assimilation determines the clarity of the perception generated.

All the information is present in the sensations, but it is not available until complete assimilation takes place. Lack of assimilation occurs when there are Fixations in the mind in the form of lack of differentiation. This affects the clarity of both the perception and the memories.

The fixation, or the lack of differentiation, manifests as aberrations in the functioning of body and mind. The individual, therefore, behaves erratically. Such aberrations are made up of the anomalies of discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), and disharmony (arbitrary data).

It is this fixation that makes the “observer” appear separate from the “observed.” In the absence of fixations the observer and observed simply reduce to an awareness of Oneness. The individual then operates in perfect coordination with other individuals.

Misconception

It is a misconception that all experiences are available from the mind like perfect recordings. The criterion for truth is the Oneness of what one is aware of.

Good luck!
