Essence of the Mind

The "Essence of the Mind" refers to the fundamental nature or core aspect of our mental experience. It encompasses our conscious awareness, thoughts, emotions, and perceptions—how we perceive and interpret the world and ourselves. This essence is what allows us to think, feel, desire, and reflect, forming the basis of our identity. While it is intangible and not directly observable, understanding its nature helps explore consciousness and the human experience, bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to better grasp what it means to be aware and to exist as a conscious being.
