0:00 Intro
0.08 What is the mind and brain and the difference between the two?
1:38 What does Babaji mean by the Divine and the mind?
9:13 Are we only aware of the mind when there are thoughts in it?
11:40 What happens to the mind when it’s happy?
17:00 Are thought processes voices and sounds that we hear when we think?
21:37 When we have an emotion, it seems to be drawn out over a long period of time – are emotions different to thoughts?
27:21 If we try to calm the mind down ourselves, is that a genuine improvement or are we fooling ourselves?
28:37 When we try to meditate, what is happening in the mind and the brain?
32:18 When thoughts come up in meditation, is it a failure or is it a part of the process?
41:46 When I get tired when working, it feels like, rather than the body getting tired, it’s the brain that gets tired?
46:53 When the brain reflects on the mind, does the mind have the capacity to decide whether it is good or bad?
48:10 Does Babaji experience fear in the mind?
49:30 How to purify the soul?
50:56 How to overcome unknown fears?
51:58 Is the time for the mind to operate through the brain limited?
55:25 Visions of seeing things before they happen – is this a coincidence?
57:39 Our mind can create illusions when in the world, how to distinguish what is real or unreal?
59:20 Is the energy and consciousness that Babaji talks about the same as how they explain it in science?
1:01:18 How can we utilise the power of our sub-conscious to manifest our dreams?
1:03:24 Are there any other ways to purify the mind other than meditation, for instance seva?
1:04:48 During meditation I try to find solutions to the problems in my life. How to avoid this?
