On the nature of the personal mind

[tsuki]

What you call „mind” is just the unintended consequences of what you are doing. That includes all use of imagination (voice, image) as well as grasping things and making them real (that, of course, includes yourself). Feelings can only exist because you believe what you think, and you project that onto time, or onto the world.
 

Pro tip: all imagination about the future is extrapolation from knowledge, which is essentially, past. You can never know what will, or even can, happen. You can only be present.
