    This document discusses the human mind and experience. It presents the mind as existing at the intersection of an embodied brain, relationships, and mental experience. The mind operates within a plane of possibility defined by neural firing patterns and diversity. It can function with ease or dis-ease depending on the flow of information between top-down and bottom-up processes in the brain. Developing mindsight, an ability to see the mind with clarity and understanding, relies on using three tools: an observational lens, objectivity, and openness.
