    I haven't really studied any of this stuff till just recently but it seems like im teaching myself well. I smoke alot of weed and 2 months ago i had no perception of the internal workings of the universe. Now, I strongly believe that there is much more to life than meets the eye. Everything that I learned in those 2 months is unbaised. I think for myself and still retain an open-mind.

    But i have a question. hope i don't sound crazy but while high, I notice little things which seem to be apart of something much much bigger. For example, none of my friends(cept one, maybe) are enlightened spiritualy and probably dont even care about that stuff. But when they get high they say and do things that seem like coincidenses. To me, there are way to many coincidenses going around to be a coincidence. When they do something i ask to myself why did that do/say that? And to me, it seems like there is a force that is influencing them. I don't think they are aware of it tho.

    I haven't decided If i got marijuana induced psychosis or if somehow everyones mind is connected subconsiously or something else. Eventually ill make sense of it, its only been 2 months so far.

    just wondering if someone could give some insight into what the cosmic mind is?

    Quite literally.

    We perceive what is infront of us as solid, unchanging, still. The eye is deficient in that regard. The world is constantly changing, everything is constantly changing. Right down to the molecular level. It's like grains of sand that slip through your fingers. Reality is never the same, in each new moment everything is different. The body, for example, is reborn many times in each lifetime, shedding billions of cells and growing back again. Thoughts come and go instantly. It's a stream like motion, in every new moment the stream is different, yet it never ceases to be a stream, in this same sense, that which knows of the transient nature of reality never changes, it is always unchanging amongst the changing, it is in the world but it is not of it.

    As for your question on 'cosmic mind' I don't have an answer for that.
