The games our minds play
“The mind is the cause of all sickness and the heart is the source of all healing. And when you don’t create problems, life opens up all its mysteries to you. He never opens up in front of someone who keeps asking questions.” (Osho)

The mind and the boundaries of the mind continue to be kept confidential even today. No matter how much work is done, no matter how much technology advances, there is still a lot waiting to be discovered. As the work progresses and goes deeper, what is discovered carries deeper meanings.
It’s like the life we actually live. The world inside us, our mind, and the outside world, our lives, are on the path of constant change and progress.
Mental illness
The mind, as a thinking being, has undertaken a task that separates us from other living things. What distinguishes humans from other living things is actually the ability to use the ability to think. This phenomenon can be both an advantage and a disadvantage for us from time to time.
Just think about it, you have a never-ending machine in your head that never shuts up and constantly makes comments both about itself and about the people around it. And this machine feeds on thoughts, so you charge it as you think.
In fact, even if such a point of view makes an inference about what could be bad, one cannot always have good thoughts. In fact, it has been seen in studies that around 60 thousand thoughts pass through our minds during the day. While 80% of these thoughts belong to negative thoughts, positive thoughts only cover 20% of them.
Sometimes we ask ourselves how much I think. And this question often remains unanswered. The thoughts that are constantly circulating in our minds multiply by spreading from one thought to another, like a contagious disease.
As I mentioned above, most of these are negative thoughts. And most of the time, we cannot get out of this confusion of thoughts and enter into a huge thought cloud. When we are aware of it and do not ask what I am doing and whether I need to stop and rest for a while, we become an aggravated life sentence prisoner of the thought cloud prison.
