I like similes and metaphors. Here are some mind similes.
The mind is like a fertile garden. Like a fertile garden, we can choose the seeds we plant and nurture. We are the master gardener of our mind. We can choose good seed to plant with a vision of the good result we would like to see, thoughts of love, faith, and forgiveness. We can choose to plant nothing and allow the weed seeds of the world to grow. We can also choose to plant bad seed, thoughts of hate, fear, anger, or resentment. We are the master gardener of our mind.
The mind is like a computer. Like a computer, good programs or viruses can be loaded. We can choose to load good computer programs with specific good results in mind. We can set up security programs on our computer to help prevent hackers from putting viruses on our computer, or we can avoid using security programs. We could even deliberately load viruses on our own computer, but why would we want to do that? We are the computer tech for our mind. We can load thoughts of love, faith, and forgiveness into our mind. We can let the world hack into our mind and load the weed seeds of the world. We can even deliberately load thoughts of hate, fear, anger, or resentment into our minds simply by continually thinking about them. We are the computer tech for our mind.
The mind is like an ocean. Like an ocean, beneath the choppy waves on the surface there is calm water in the depths. We can choose to dive down deep and swim in the calm waters in the depths. We can also choose to swim in the choppy waves on the surface. We can be a scuba diver in the ocean of our mind.
The mind is like a magnet and it can attract or repel. We are the handler of the magnet of our mind. We can make the magnet attract something by choosing the end of the magnet that attracts. We can choose what the magnet attracts by what we point it at. We can ignore which end we use and repel rather than attract, our choice. We are handling the magnet of our mind.
The mind is like an untamed horse which is difficult to ride and in order to ride it needs to be trained. We are the trainer of our untamed mind. We can choose to train the untamed horse daily so we can eventually easily ride. We can also attempt to ride the untamed horse while it gives a good try at throwing us off. We are the trainer of our untamed mind.
The mind is like a mirror reflecting what it sees. We are the holder of the mirror who determines what it reflects. We can choose to reflect beautiful images. We can also choose to reflect envy, anger or even murder or other negative images. We hold the mirror of our mind.
The mind is like a fire where the flames can be erratic or controlled. We are the builder of the fire of the mind. We can choose to start a small fire, take steps to adjust the flame by how and when we add the fuel, and build a controlled fire. We can also start a fire that burns out of control. We are the builder of the fire of the mind.
