Seeking defintions: Matrix, Potentiator, & Significator

[ricdaw]

A concept does not need to be believed to be a concept.

An unknown, inchoate concept is potential only. It exists only through belief in its existence.

Concepts are the fundamental particles of mind, out of which all mentation is constructed.

At least, so you believe. (I'm just teasing! LOL)

The problem with using the word "belief" instead of the word "concept" is that "belief" has the connotation of emotional investment.

There is another definition of belief, a scientific sense, probably best described as doubt, and without any emotional investment. I believe China exists, even though I have never been there.

Is there an essential spirit of us that we bring into each life, and if so, how does it differ from our essential personality (mind)?

I believe there is a GodSpark in each of us. (And in everything else too, actually.) It is inseparable (though it can be divided) and we do bring it into each lifetime.

In meditation, when the thoughts are stilled, there is still an Awareness, the I AM of you. I think this might be an attribute or shadow of the Essential Spirit, or at least a cross-over point between the Essential Spirit and the Mind. It is at least a practical analogy you can hold in mind when trying to grasp the nature of the Essential Spirit.

I also believe that the Essential Spirit of me is watching me.

But in this, I am novice. Others may have more experience.
