Three Minds
There are three minds within each human being. They are the
sensual mind, the intermediate mind and the inner mind.
We think we only have one mind but not quite true Gnosis
says we have three.
If we are careful in observing ourselves we can actually
know which one is active in a given moment. For example, it is so easy to know
when we are using the sensual mind and when the inner mind is working.
The sensual mind is very useful for life here in the
physical world. It lacks the knowledge and understanding that creation is
dual. There is always matter and spirit in everything created. The sensual mind
unfortunately only sees the matter side of things.
Matter in creation is needed to provide a vehicle for the
spirit to animate and express itself and matter needs the spirit to give it
life.

| The senses - the data for the sensual mind. Subjective data because it is data seen only from our point of view. Not from a bird's eye outside point of view. |
All Minds Reason Even the Inner Mind
All three minds are the same in that they depend on a data
source. Once they have received their data they then fulfil their function of
reasoning.
The inner mind is like a special screen which allows the
messages from the consciousness to be displayed on it.
So when the data of the consciousness appears on the screen
of the inner mind, the inner mind can then reason. When it reasons it will reason
objectively, because it has objective data upon which to reason.
Three Minds and the Three Types of Love
The three types of love, sensual love, emotional love and
conscious love correspond to these three minds as well.
Certainly the sensual mind corresponds to sensual love. Most
people love on this level because we use the sensual more than anything else
and the inner mind is more or less closed in human beings.
