If the mind is an 'interface' what can it change to? What's the mind conscious of, if not itself? First let's move away from the fallacy that the mind actually exists. It is just an abstract perimeter around our consciousness but not a real entity by itself.

Is something abstract necessarily 'unreal' or 'inexistent'? I doubt it!

Then it does not exist.

No its this way, to the question if the answer was 'no' (which it was going to be) then it does not exist.

No its this way, to the question if the answer was 'no' (which it was going to be) then it does not exist. A symbol always points to existence.

You are emotional, if ease is primary for you. Hence you are not thinking.
