Attempts to Occupy the Mind

A man stood before a mirror and proclaimed, “I am a paradigm!”  And his consciousness punched his mind and said, “That’s me he’s talking about – not him.”

Religion:  Another attempt to give the mind something specific to do.

Expanded Historical View:

Speech:  The first attempt to give the mind something to do.

Mythology:  The attempt to give the mind something specific to do.

Religion:  Another attempt.

Science:  Yet another – and…

Conversation of all sorts:  Still another, and perhaps, ultimate attempt.

Update Regarding Words:

To a more conscious man – all definitions are obsolete.

Do note that, like consciousness, the mind is not a “thing” but an operation.
