2.1 Concepts of Cognition

Article 3 - Mind

Canon 675 (link)

Mind is the term used to define certain systems, properties and functional states of consciousness of a higher order being as distinct from the physical and biological processes of its body.

Canon 676 (link)

The word Mind originates from ancient Gaelic word múin/múind meaning “educate, instruct and teach” and first used in describing the seat of cognition from the 16th Century.

Canon 677 (link)

As Mind defines certain systems, properties and functional states of consciousness, the term Mind is equivalent to the term "Awareness".

Canon 678 (link)

Mind is not solely determined by the physical form of the being. Mind is simultaneously a concept possessing non-locational metaphysical attributes and objective existence manifested in observable phenomena.

Canon 679 (link)

There are only three (3) forms of Mind being Lower Mind, Higher Mind and Divine Mind:

(i) Lower Mind, also known as "lower self" is physically constrained Mind derived from physical apparatus producing Mind, such as a biological brain. When such an organ dies, so does a Lower Mind; and

(ii) Higher Mind, also known as "higher self" is non-physical Mind derived from the production of a Lower Mind as well as a Divine Mind which is not constrained by physical location but chooses to obey the rules of universal laws as if it were constrained. When the Lower Mind dies, Higher Mind continues to exist; and

(iii) Divine Mind also known as "divine self" is non-physical Mind equivalent to Unique Collective Awareness.

Canon 680 (link)

All higher species capable of Mind are endowed with all three (3) Minds being Lower Mind, Higher Mind and Divine Mind to some degree. The collection of these three (3) types of Mind is still known as one (1) complete singular "Mind".

Canon 681 (link)

The whole of the Mind is greater than its constituent parts being systems, properties and methods. Therefore, the attributes of the whole Mind are not validly deductible from analysis of merely the parts in isolation.

Canon 682 (link)

The systems of Mind are five (5) Fundamental Systems of Mind being the Unique Collective Consciousness (UCC), Unique Collective Interconscious (UCI), Unique Collective Subconsciousness (UCS), Unique Collective Superconsciousness (UCP) and Unique Collective Ultraconsciousness (UCU). Together they form the Unique Collective Awareness of Mind (UCM):

(i) Unique Collective Consciousness (UCC) is a key system of Lower Mind or "lower self"; and

(ii) Unique Collective Interconscious (UCI) is a key system of Lower Mind or "lower self"; and

(iii) Unique Collective Sub consciousness (UCS) is a key system of Lower Mind or "lower self"; and

(iv) Unique Collective Superconsciousness (UCP) is a key system reflecting Higher Mind or "higher self"; and

(v) Unique Collective Ultraconsciousness (UCU) is a key system reflecting Divine Mind or "divine self".

Canon 683 (link)

The term Unique Collective Awareness of Mind (UCM) is equivalent to the singular and whole Mind.

Canon 684 (link)

The Unique Collective Awareness of Mind (UCM) is similar to Unique Collective Awareness (UCA) of the Universe in that once Mind is created, it cannot be uncreated even when the body of the physical higher order form dies and decays. Therefore Unique Collective Awareness of Mind is similar to Unique Collective Awareness (UCA) in that it is immortal.

Canon 685 (link)

The Unique Collective Awareness of Mind (UCM) is different to Unique Collective Awareness (UCA) in that UCA created matter through Natural Law as defined by previous canons. Whereas Unique Collective Awareness of Mind is born from sophisticated structures of matter itself within the Universal dream.

Canon 686 (link)

The properties of Mind are the seven (7) primary classes of properties of Mind being Cognition, Perception, Identification, Sensation, Comprehension, Relation, Volition and Communication:

(i) Cognition represents the properties of thinking, learning and processing of knowledge; and

(ii) Perception represents the properties of consciousness, awareness and observation; and

(iii) Identification represents the properties of self-awareness, unique personality and source of complex social interactions; and

(iv) Sensation represents the properties of senses, emotion, instinct, impulse, intuition and habit; and

(v) Comprehension represents the properties of intellect, competence and information discernment; and

(vi) Volition represents the properties of will, intention, needs, and wants; and

(vii) Communication represents the properties of communicating information through language and other forms of expression.

Canon 687 (link)

The states of Mind are the seven (7) Functional States of Mind being Pronoia, Pedonoia, Catanoia, Hyponoia, Ennoia, Epinoia and Metanoia:

(i) Pronoia represents the first state of Mind and the birth of first thought within the mammalian womb; and

(ii) Pedonoia represents the child state of Mind and the first child-like thoughts and child-models of information; and

(iii) Catanoia represents a voluntary state of under performing Mind often through substance or physical abuse of the biological apparatus of Mind; and

(iv) Hyponoia represents an involuntary under performance of the Mind due to temporary injury, disease or permanent disability of the biological apparatus of Mind; and

(v) Ennoia represents a normal thinking state of adult Mind; and

(vi) Epinoia represents the highest state of thinking and knowledgeable Mind connected to its original living body; and

(vii) Metanoia represents the state of Mind and existence after the death of the living body.

Canon 688 (link)

Mind is a feature of certain higher order life possessing suitably advanced neural architectures such as mammals on planet Earth. Mind is not an exclusive quality of one (1) species.

Canon 689 (link)

While a Mind may be measured and determined through manifested observable phenomena, such behaviour can never be completely accurately presumed to infer the cause, nature or reason of Mind even if agreed by the Mind itself through questioning.
