Mind is he biggest thing in cosmos. It is even bigger than cosmos. So it is bigger than science. It is the overcoat to science.

Normally we think about science as bigger than its specific subject. If it studies a disease, science is bigger than the disease. Science is overlooking the disease.

But mind is bigger than anything else, so mind is overlooking science, also when science is about mind. Science about mind is unusual. Science about the brain is more usual. The brain is smaller than science.

The traditional task for science to establish how reality works is irrelevant in the study of mind. Mind is changing all the time. You can not say that it is an a particular way because it has changed before the sentence is spoken.

The science of mind is thus about us. How do we relate to mind? How well is the overcoat of mind fitting us living now?

If we look at this question broadly, we see that the material circumstances are reasonably good for very many of us. But the understanding of our situation is bad, so we suffer nevertheless.

We can also see that we are better in solving material problems than in solving mind problems. We even need one extra planet in order to do all the material things we actually can do.

This shows that we need to focus more on mind factors. It is a change in paradigm.

Instead of asking "How can I use material factors to my advantage?" we cold ask "Mind is urging me to live in harmony, joy and happiness. Why resist?"

A problem with mind is that it can not see the difference between right and wrong. It is a serious problem, causing death and destruction globally every year. It can be solved.

The impulse to be in control is a strong one, and over time strong means like violence have been used to achieve control. But control based on unreliable means is no real control.
