Mental body and language [IF56-7focus]

From what I have explained to you up to this point, one could easily deduce what the various functions of the mental body are, however perhaps it is worthwhile to make a slightly more structured discussion on them, in order to provide you with an overall and organic picture and thus facilitate a more unitary and logical vision of what I have said fragmentarily.

We have previously observed what the brain actually is and how, although it is an extraordinarily complex and useful organ for the individual, it should not ultimately be considered that a sort of sorting unit for the various vibratory signals that come from other bodies. and, in particular, from the mental body.

Yes, because - and perhaps from my words it was not clear enough - vibrations from the astral body also reach the brain and it, using them in conjunction with those that come from the mental body, modulates and articulates them in such a way as to be able to make them emerge in the way in which the individual faces the experiences that occur to him in the course of life.

It is evident, from this analysis, that the brain becomes a kind of interface between what is internal in the individual and what of sé it appears on the outside of the individual himself. We can therefore see it as a translator of internal stimuli into external reactions and, ultimately, as the tool that allows the vibrations of other bodies to come to manifest themselves on the physical plane in the life of relationship with others, giving a form that can be represented by itself. and to the others of what we have defined with the term "Io".

"I" which is certainly illusory, because none of the embodied people is truly what is manifested by the ego but which, however, offers the representation of how what is needed by the akasic body to reach elements of understanding influences the way the person acts. individual, and interprets the needs of consciousness in daily practical experience.

In relation to the brain, therefore, the function of the mental body is to provide it with the decoding of what it receives from the akasic in such a way that it can in turn make it suitable for interacting with what the individual is going through on the physical plane. .

If it is true that the individual can reach understandings even if he is alone, at the top of the highest mountain, it is also true that he has a greater possibility of understanding in the moments in which, instead, he is in contact with other people, with who can share the experiences he has, comparing their reactions, their reasonings, their deductions with those of others.

In the first case, the understanding achieved will be less complex and will, however, need a verification in which what has been understood is applied in the relationship with other individuals. In fact, one of the fundamental aspects that characterizes the human being is his evolution it is given by his being a "social" man and constituted in such a way that the life of relationship is necessary and indispensable for him to understand all those nuances, small but important, which specify and clarify the understanding, making it complete.

It is obvious that in order to make the most of social life it becomes extremely necessary to be able to communicate in some way with other human beings, and to be able to do it in such a way that communication is not limited to categorical answers (yes-no) but provides a more complete picture to the interlocutors.

That is, it is necessary to have a common platform on which to interact and on which to insert the personal elements of the individual in order to be able to seek a sharing of the common traits of the experience, or to be able to offer a plurality of possibilities to each other. other to ensure that there is truly an exchange and not just an ascertainment of the other's way of being.

This is made possible by the presence of the language. Undoubtedly, a portion of communication also takes place through that body language which is made up of gestures, physical expressions, facial expressions, but this type of non-verbal language can show what are the individual's needs of the moment, without however providing, to himself or to the observer, any additional element that serves to understand the complex interior reality of the person. 

Language, on the other hand, offers a much more structured and complete possibility because it presents a myriad of additional data and, if one pauses carefully to listen to a person speaking, one can meanwhile deduce important elements of the person himself: the culture he possesses. , the social environment to which he belongs, the ability to express himself and so on, all basic notions that immediately give a first vision of what that person is, in that life.

It is possible to glimpse what his interests are, what is his ability to build relationships, to carry out analyzes, what are his mental limits and so on making the picture that one builds of the other person even more defined.

Of course, we must not forget that often, in observing others, we only see what, for some personal reason, strikes us in a particular way, perhaps because it satisfies something in ourselves, and we neglect or do not see things that for us they would be uncomfortable to accept.

This does not mean that we act, however, on a common basis, because the starting points and the mechanics that drive us are common: from the need to reach understanding to going towards suffering when we cannot do that last little I pass that it would lead to the vision of a more real portion of ourselves, because maybe we are afraid of realizing it, without realizing that the only way to modify it and make it painless is to look at it, recognize it and accept it, thus inducing it to transform itself.

The real language is inserted on this common fabric, a wonderful tool of communication and evolutionary interaction: it is mainly through language that one defines oneself not only in the eyes of others but also in one's own: individual thought comes to the consciousness of the embodied being mainly in the form of words (to a lesser extent in the form of images or otherwise).

Do you want to find a way to hide who you are from yourself or others? Nothing could be easier, language offers you two extreme possibilities, two masks that you usually know how to use instinctively with enviable dexterity: don't talk or talk too much; in the first case the support of language is not offered, hiding behind impenetrability, in the second case it submerges oneself under a mass of words with the result of providing so many elements in such a short time as to make it impossible to derive the reality of who is speaking that it is found to be thus, also in this case, impenetrable.

One of the functions of the mental body is also to provide the individual with the ability to reason, or rather to draw deductions, perform analyzes, extract syntheses from what the individual is experiencing.

Let us repeat what has already been said at other times: the mental body is made up of matters coming from all the subplanes of the mental plane which can, for convenience, be imagined divided into two large sections: the lower mental and the higher mental.

The lower mental (not in the sense of space or of quality) is the one composed of the coarsest matter, closest to the limit at which one passes from mental matter to astral matter. Among other things, it provides vibrations related to language true and proper, the one made up of words and linguistic patterns learned in the course of the incarnation.

The higher mental, on the other hand, with its more subtle matter, it gives the individual the possibility to make abstract reasonings, less connected to the language of the individual but more connected to the needs of understanding and, therefore, to the vibrations that come to the mind from the Akasic body.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to explain how and on what basis this analysis and synthesis is carried out, as you have not yet been given the necessary foundations to be able to implement an acceptable reasoning (the topic will be published around May-June 2022, ed)

To satisfy your obvious curiosity, however, I can anticipate that the fabric on which the work of analysis and synthesis is carried out by the mental body in the course of the evolution of the embodied individual is made up of what comes from those elements of reality. which we have named archetypes. In particular, as far as language is concerned, give it transient archetypes.

Another non-negligible function of the mental body can be identified in its interacting and feeding the desires and emotions that cross the astral body in search of an outlet, of a manifestation on the physical plane through the physical body of the individual.

Although emotions are an expression of the astral body, it is undoubted that their manifestation is not casual but follows a logic that can be related to the interiority of the individual and, having their own logical basis, it seems obvious that they have a rather strong connection with the mental body of the individual, although apparently very often it may seem that emotional reactions are almost completely devoid of logic in their manifestation. 

Indeed to every emotion (and also to every desire) a reasoning of the mental body is connected, consisting of several elements:
- first of all by the attempt to understand something required by the Akasic body,
- secondly, from the search to translate this drive in a useful way to the individual to synthesize new data on the basis of analyzes and deductions made within the mental body on the basis of Akasic drives,
- thirdly by sending signals to physical reality so that we can receive responses from experience. 

Crossing the astral body these requests provoke reactions in the astral matter, more or less violent or complex reactions in accordance with the intensity of the need to understand or with the complexity of the required understanding and it is precisely from the intensity of the need to understand that they arise. from the astral body the emotions come to manifest themselves, in the way that you all know well from direct experience, on the physical plane.

When the emotional intensity reaches a threshold that can be harmful to the individual (who may not yet be ready to face a certain understanding), an automatic reaction is triggered by the mental body in realizing the level of danger and this is how the individual reaches a kind of both emotional and mental blackouts: the mental interrupts its vibrations to give the astral time to put order in the vibratory chaos that has arisen and, on the basis of that data, the mental body will try a different or less intense approach to the problem that he feels he has to solve for the Akasic's requests.

I realize that what has been said in this paragraph should be analyzed even more deeply because it has implications that are not insignificant, but this is beyond my task (and probably also from my abilities) so I am happy to have given you this general vision of multiple functions of the mental body.
