So what's on my mind? What is my mind?
It is made of of thoughts. Where do those thoughts come from? The must come from memory. Memory is always in the past.
Can I know anything other than my mind? Well, whatever it is that I know must be known from my mind.
When fast asleep in a dreamless sleep, my mind has gone quiet and I know nothing at all, and remember nothing at all about it, yet I am still existing.
The mind is just a record that lives in the past and cannot be totally in the past which makes knowledge an illusion. Cannot be in present yet believes it can, which makes present knowledge illusory, And future? that does not exist! The mind reflects everything. So Lunar. Such a mystery!
