This forum is primarily dedicated to higher quality posts and discussions. Those are welcome from everyone but will be filtered by the moderators. In order to foster more discussion, we have decided to start a weekly stickied discussion thread for the subreddit. This discussion thread is a place for people to post things that are more casual regarding subjective idealism, and things that are more exploratory. Here is a place for individuals to propose ideas and ask questions and figure out subjective idealism.

Threefold Capacity (Being/Will/Intellect)

I explain it as knowing/willing/experiencing. This "being/will/intellect" thing is not anything I talk about. Threefold capacity is my term for the mind. Please don't get mixed up.

To me "being/will/intellect" doesn't make any sense. I would never talk like that.

Regarding Self, I could say that my position is: Mind is a Capacity, I'm the Agent which exercise this Capacity.

It's you who knows, who wills and who experiences. Without you knowing, there is no mind that knows. Without you willing, there is no mind that wills. Without you experiencing there is no mind that experiences.

SI is an extremely personal, 1st person perspectival way of comprehending experience. Even if you have an experience of operating in 10 different bodies, it's still 1 experience and not 10 different ones. There is always one root will, and it's always yours, from your perspective.

You are not something other than mind in the way I explain things.

The important thing here is to realize that mind is not the same thing as a mindset. A mindset is a specific way to configure mind. You use this or that mindset here and there, but you do ultimately transcend any and all mindsets in the sense that you're never limited to the mindset you currently find yourself in.
