The mind is a self-organizing emergent process of energy and information flow within and between us. The scope of mind refers to what we are aware of and have access to mentally at any given moment. It is important, because what we focus on will direct our energy, be cultivated, and eventually become our life.

Different sizes

The scope of mind can be classified according to size — from XS to XL — each scope has its flow, issues, focus, and default setting.

XS — the habitual scope of mind

The flow of energy and information is physical and chemical, oriented around bodily sensations. The main issue is the survival of the physical body, and the focus is on stability, predictability and safety. With a habitual or XS scope of mind, the default setting is more of the same.

S — the individual scope of mind

The flow of energy and information is psychological, with ongoing inner dialogue. The main issue is the success of the individual, and the focus is on opportunity, achievement, and fulfillment. With an individual or S scope of mind, the default setting is more to me.

M — the tribal scope of mind
