Creator of Form
Without mind, there is no variety, discrimination or differentiation;
we see no form and hence, no beauty. The mind is the creator of
form, the creator of beauty, and understanding is that process
of creation, of unfoldment. So, the fulfillment of our lives is
to see life objectively, to see what is really there. To know,
for example, that life is the expression and fulfillment and celebration
of beauty. This is what we are here for. We're not here for anything
else. Everyone wants this life of fulfillment, beauty and harmony.
Most people want to reach it without going through the process
of understanding. They want it to come from someone else through
some magical transmission. They don't want to do it by understanding.
But the process is understanding, and can happen in no other way.
(Diamond Heart Book 3, pg 160)

Mind and other minds
Of course, your mind is interacting with lots of other minds,
and creations of other minds in our society; mind begets mind.
And you’re trying to live according to the contents of this
mind, your mind in conjunction with the collective one. But it
is a dream life, a ghost life. It isn’t really there. (Diamond
Heart Book 4, pg 142)
