DIANETICS:
UNDERSTANDING THE MIND


	As a rough analogy, the time track could be likened to a motion-picture film, if that film were three-dimensional, had fifty-seven perceptions and could fully react upon the observer.

SURVIVAL AND THE MIND

Dianetics states that the purpose of the mind is to solve problems relating to survival.

The mind directs the individual in the effort of survival and bases its operations upon the information that it receives or records. The mind records data using what are called mental image pictures.

Such pictures are actually three-dimensional, containing color, sound and smell, as well as other perceptions. They also include the conclusions or speculations of the individual. Mental image pictures are continuously made by the mind, moment by moment. One can, for instance, examine the picture of what he had for breakfast this morning by recalling breakfast; and similarly recover a picture of an event which occurred last week by recalling it; or even recall something which happened a much longer time ago.
