The Processor

The mind is a diligent worker. It labors relentlessly and realistically to assemble the expressions of the spirit. And while the tongue blurts out the partially assembled interpretations of the mind, the eyes can take control at any time. What the eyes take in, the mind must gather and assemble. Close our eyes and our mind no longer intakes. It either shuts down or works on what information it already possesses in its factory. Control the eyes, and what they scan, and you filter down the amount of information the mind deals with; but the disciplined eyes don't just control the quantity of flow, they become picky shoppers. Eyes that are directed by the spirit shop for the best quality, most nutritious consumption, giving the mind exactly the right parts for the assembly of the understanding. When the spirit directs the eyes, the mind does not waste time sifting through unnecessary and unworthy tangents-- tangents that consume time with processing and investigation to determine worthiness. Thus, the spirit directs the eyes, which feed the mind lean and mean. This speeds the processing of the understanding. Speeding the process of the understanding produces a timely, effective tongue, rather than an impatient scattering voice. Spirit-led eyes produce wise and constructive speech. In order to stay in this pattern of beneficence the entire process must be locked in place with wisdom, and adorned with knowledge. Knowledge completes understanding and presentation of the voice. Wisdom ensures that the final product is of the highest standard before it can be spoken. If the voice is not worthy, then wisdom reduces it to the junk pile of "good intentions" and "never will be good."
