Is mind an individual "perception". ?
Is it something to be "tapped into"...or is it something that is always in constant movement ?

There is only one mind but all seeming individuated minds are just aspects of this one.
With persistence one can break through the illusion and tap into it, but it is difficult even than to prove that it exists.
It always seems to be just your mind.

The mind is something that has to be "tapped into". The average person only uses about 1% of their brain power. And you have the people who use zero percent of their brain.
I feel that we are all on this earth to evolve and grow to the very best of our ability. Learning something new every day.
Those that learn nothing are just taking up space on this earth. (A total waste).

Yes! It IS our general source for ALL to make use of, or individual perceptions, and is forever in constant movement. It's your personality, it's your soul, it's your personal preferances it's your great great grandmother...yes...yes...yes......It's all true!....
I'm sorry, I got a little carried away. But Yes. The box at the bottom...all of the above.

We already know everything there is to know, because of the collective unconscious. We do tap into that, some people think we do it when we are asleep or when we daydream. The only drawback to it, is there is nothing new to put into it, Everything that there ever was or will be is there, and we just draw from it when we need it.

The brain is a muscle. If you work it out you'd get better results. There are a lot of brain games that help you improve the function of any parts of your brain. Our minds should be tapped into, but in many cases they aren't :)

The opposite of a mind, whether you perceive yours or not, is the mental state called "unconsciousness." You "tap into it" only when you might have been day dreaming or thinking of other things, or when your dreams invade your consciousness and you wake up thinking about them.
It is a "general source," but it begins "tabula rasa consciousness" which begins to fill up with your perceptions of existential reality.
Yes, it is in constant movement, consciously or sub-consciously, until you become a vegetable or until you die.

Like a Rousseauean general will? Or like Spinoza's monist world?
I would think this is an illusion borne of shared ideas and because our brains are similarly constructed.
