THE FABRIC OF THE MIND: EXPLORING THOUGHT, BEHAVIOR, AND CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH PSYCHOLOGY AND EASTERN WISDOM

Abstract

In social psychology, we try to understand what the impetuses that shape human behavior are. To understand deeply, we have to study the human mind. This research studies the structure of the human mind and how human behaviors are formed in the mind. The human mind is a collection of thoughts; the function of the mind is to create thoughts. Thoughts in the human mind can be divided into three major categories or sections: Intelligent section, Emotional section, and Sex section. These three major types or sections combine to form thoughts that we call mind. The human mind is like a fabric, the fabric is made up of threads, and the threads are thoughts. The color of the fabric is our emotion and our habits give the fabric strength and durability. This research seeks to explore how thoughts individually and collectively affect human behavior and decisions. The awareness of mental faculties-i.e., thoughts will lead an individual to act empathetically and make rational decisions in order to ensure peace and harmony in a society.
