Most people take for granted the interplay of body and mind in everyday situations, but for more than 45 years the artist Aleksandra Kasuba explored that interplay by tracking personal sensations from point to point in schematic drawings and studding them with notations. The information she collected prompted her to make sense of her findings, which she outlined and illustrated in The Mind Gazing at Itself. Readers will find that feelings, emotions, thought, and intellect, when stripped of historical interpretations and taken as simple energy events, respond and move in patterns similar to those found in nature. The book’s drawings illustrate these patterns and suggest where interference with the long-established flows of energy tends to upset the processes.
This book has no specific religious, spiritual, philosophical, or psychological agenda, nor is it intended to improve anyone’s life. It is instead a mere record of the artist's findings, shared for the interest of other curious people.
