The question of the “contents of the mind” comes down to the question of the relationship between the Psychocosmos and the Macrocosmos in the perceiving part of consciousness, and usually this interaction comes down to the periodic “immersion” of consciousness into being, and then to the interpretation of what is “caught.” It turns out that in the process of awareness two stages can be distinguished - the actual “perception” and its “processing”

The second stage, when consciousness actually interacts only with its own contents, is called “bardo” in Buddhism, and it is clear that this state occupies most of what we usually consider consciousness. These “gaps” between the immersion of consciousness in being tend to close in on themselves, endlessly transform impressions and intertwine them beyond recognition. This is why consciousness usually chases impressions, empty experiences that provide food for its own bardo games

Then, when consciousness effectively relies on the perceptive system that connects the Psycho- and Macrocosmos - the body - it receives food in the form of correlating the energies of being with the elements of consciousness, at the same time when the body is either used for other purposes (for example, it becomes a dictator from a tool), or is absent (for example, in the interval between rebirths) - consciousness operates only with its own images

For a magician, it is very important, on the one hand, to make the most effective use of the embodied state for "direct perception", correlation and awareness, which means the transformation of Forces, and on the other hand, not to mistake the bardo games for force–forming phenomena, and not to plunge into either intoxication of being or games of imagination
