You cannot lose your mind. Mind is a function of Consciousness, your essential being. Mind is the activity of Consciousness … ripples on a pond. The brain processes these ripples into experiences that all those who share a brain understand and agree to label this and that. You cannot lose your mind, for Consciousness is the ground of all being. The brain can go a bit haywire now and then, causing the ripples to be processed and interpreted a bit differently than others are processing the same ripples. But never fear, you are this Consciousness, focusing for a while on a specific pattern of ripples that in your shared awareness as humans being you have agreed to call “me” and “you.”
The ripples are what connect you to and with all others. They are your heritage. They are your make-up, your connective tissue. These patterns known as “me” and “you” can never be lost, which is why Love—understood to be lack of separation—never dies.
You are so very loved.
I thought I lost my mind after a near death experience and some bad partying a year ago. I just cycled very low in consciousness. My mom wanted to commit me but my dad sat and listened to my stories. It was a dark time but now I am living an even better life through choosing love and wisdom by holding grace for myself and others.
