Our Mind Is Not a Sealed Container

A man asks whether, when he is trying to think about his mind, he is actually referring to his memories? Rupert replies: If we presume that there is an entity called a finite mind, then what we’re aware of in the waking state – thoughts, sensations, and perceptions – would be the top layer of that mind. But there are other aspects of our individual mind that are not available to us under normal circumstances in the waking state such as the personal unconscious that manifests in our dreams, and the memories that lie below the threshold of the waking state. Also, the collection of thoughts, sensations, ideas, memories, etc., which we think of as the individual mind is not a sealed container.
