They say that we only use about 10% of our mind so can we increase that so more of our minds can be used for thinking. Do those other mind spaces think the same way that our minds now think or do they think differently.
So lets find out. You understand the mind you have now. There is psychological thinking, pictorial thinking and other ways the mind can spin itself to create things in your head for you. These are all different types or ways of thinking.
There is a kind of thinking where you have to silently speak what you are thinking for you to have to think at all. These 2 processes are linked together. If you force yourself not to silently speak what you are thinking at the same time you will find that you cannot think at all. Psychological thinking comes in this category. Thinking of this and that when anxiety fills your mind of the past in you or you are planning what to do in the future. Sometimes you have to think to build up an idea in your mind – and here too, you will find that you have to silently have to speak what you are thinking for you to have to think at all. It is a strange phenomenon where it is as if the brain has to hear what you are thinking for it to process your thoughts.
Psychological thinking and the other types of thinking creates a lot of noise in you mind behind which all the other spaces in your mind are hidden. If you want to open up your mind so that you want a greater percentage of your mind to work for you and if you want to see what is behind all that noise in your present mind then you need to shut down all your thinking in your present mind to see what is behind it.
There are different ways to shut down your present mind of thoughts. Just remove all your thoughts from your mind. You can do this in different ways. One is to use a mantra and meditate and this will distract you from thinking and can bring on a silent mind with no thinking. But you will be stuck in a corner of the room with your legs crossed and no where to go. If you look closely at the process of meditation and the process of thinking and see if there is another way to stop thinking while you are in a walking talking mode doing your daily activities.
There is an anomaly in your thinking process where thinking is tied up biologically with the fact that you have to silently speak what you are thinking for you to have to think at all. This is an anomaly in us. It is as if the brain has to hear what you are thinking for it to know what you are thinking so it can process the information. So if you break this link between silently speaking your thoughts and thinking – you will find that you cannot think anymore. This is what the mantra in cross-legged meditation does – it distracts you from silently speaking what you are thinking and so you don’t have to cross your legs anymore in the corner of the room, if you want to stop thinking and “meditate”. You can do it anytime. Just watch those vocal cords working during the thinking process and try and stop them intentionally from working and you will find you cannot think anymore.
what I am saying is that these vocal cords are repeating what you are thinking. If you intentionally stop these vocal cords working then thinking stops. You can use this anomaly to come to a silent mind by stopping all thinking.

What happens when the mind becomes silent? You will find a new space behind that thinking mind of yours. The thinking that you know of, of this and that is gone. You do not generate thoughts anymore in this space BUT there is a different kind of thinking at work. It is an intuitive stream thinking at work. It is a kind of streaming with intention in mind. If you ask a question with intention and the answer is given via a streaming of information, but no thinking as sorts from your previous body-mind. This just happens for as long as you have an intended intention in mind. It is streaming thinking in a very quiet space with no thoughts as you knew them before. You are just listening with an intuitive-ear to know what is being “said”. It is still silent thoughts but it is intuitive in nature — it is there and you know what is being said and the vocal cords are silent/still so it is not coming from your normal body-mind. You can also use this thing about the vocal cords and thinking to see if you are naturally psychic. If you are silently talking while you receive these thoughts then you know you are really generating them with your own mind. If you get yourself into silent mode – the thoughts are all from another realm. It seems that way. You still need to observe and watch its operating system to try and understand the phenomenon of the universe and its relation to your mind and body.
My impression is that all the streaming is true and correct. It just passes on the Truth of things to you. No thinking by you is needed. If true, then what is its source? When you are able to enter this space and live in it for a while try and find out what the mystics say about this other world that is in you, as to your normal world mind. When you use both worlds together – both operating differently have you increased the capacity of your mind? Are you using more of your brain/mind. 2 spaces instead of one. What can you do with 2 mind spaces together. How does “speak thinking” in mind-1 compare to mind-2’s stream thinking with intention?
So now are there other spaces for you to explore. I find that perhaps this space in mind is an evolutionary space. I am saying this because with spending more time in this space I find that all the pictorial images that were in the previous mind also slowly disappears and in that sense it is evolutionary.
The question is how do I will-my intentions in mind to stop so I can look for other spaces. I find I can do this by not receiving the streaming of thoughts. That is by not accepting it. If I can make this 2nd space in mind completely silent of its streaming – then what other space might open for me to explore.
The mystics have taken this state of Samadhi to its extremes and into a silent space of nothingness. I gather you can push it to its end and with it into a state of stupor of nothingness. You are trying to find mind spaces and the end could be extraordinarily nothing such that the body cannot function off its mind.
So perhaps the idea is to find that sweet spot of a type of thinking that will serve you well in everyday life and work off it. Body-mind thinking in space-one for practical purposes, crossing the road thinking, kitchen preparing a meal thinking and so on. Reading the newspaper you need to silently speak what you are reading for the mind to know what you have just read. You try reading the newspaper or a book without your vocal cords also having to silently speak what you are reading. You can scan the words with your eyes but trying to understand what you have just read with your eyes without you also silently speaking the words – it is almost impossible. This is a good indication that the brain needs to hear you to understand or know what you are reading. This is reading but it is the same with thinking. The implications are different.
Mind space=2 with silence in mind – streaming with intention – only the Truth shows up here from its repository in the ether. Anything and everything that appears in this space is true. You just have to intent a question in mind and the repository will know what you want. If you write a sentence down – the next line comes naturally with no effort on your part. You can use this phenomenon in many different ways with your daily activities and see how it works and study its movements. Try and find and see what is the source of this repository.
As high as the sky and into Mars with a Tesla and deep into the mind into Samadhi or anywhere in between where you want to visit and stay for a while.
I am not the first one to be in this mind-space-2. It is a natural state to find in you. Osho describes it very well:

The question one needs to ask is are these states mystical in nature and only for the mystics or are they just processes of the mind and it is really for everyone to discover. The advantage is know thyself, as they always say, discover the spaces in the mind and get on with your life. You have set the evolutionary pattern of the mind to continue after coming out of the noise of the body-mind via silence and then functionally normally with more spaces of the mind at hand and then in the background the evolutionary process in the mind is switched on and on its way.
Look at this video below where Swami Sarvapriyananda – a swami with a difference and one for the modern man as he speak mysticism, philosophy, science and puts it all together as one tool. He describes how Sri Ramakrishna, an Indian Hindu mystic and saint in 19th century Bengal, used to go into a stupor, when he enters the depths of Samadhi and Ramana Maharshi would have died if his devotees did not force feed him when he is in this state but they found a space in their minds where they could function normally in silence. It gives you the impression that the real secret is that mysticism and spaces in the mind is a natural phenomenon and is for all of us to discover.

I love these mind games. You never know what you will find.
