We have here in our first slide a personality sitting, and you'll notice the aura around her. She has a myriad of images; and if we sit in a similar posture and note what we have moving about in our aura around our minds, we might notice something similar. Can you identify any objects in there, anybody? Are they descriptive enough to identify any of those things?

Slide number three says everything is recorded and stored in your mind—in your subconscious mind. It's a storage place, and the aggregate of our mental impressions becomes what one professor at Carnegie Mellon (if I'm not incorrect—is that the professor that uses this phraseology of 'Default Mode Network', or is it another one?)—we've been in conversation with several academics lately, because we're doing a project of sharing ideas from the Bhagavad-gītā and ancient wisdom literatures with leading academics.

In any case, one of them (and JM will find it) said this aggregate of mental impressions—recognized in modern psychology also as our subconscious mind’s storage of thoughts, impressions, and feelings—creates what's called a 'Default Mode Network.' And drawing upon that Default Mode Network, we might engage in what's called 'mind scrolling.' You know our phones... does anybody have a phone near them right now? If your phone is within arm's reach, give me a sign. A few people? It's nearby, right? If you look into your phone, it seems to have an unlimited source of faces, impressions, ideas, and so forth.
