Abstract

Even though civilization is developing at a fast rate, human beings and their living environments do not look happy. Given that the civilization comes from the human mind, which is changing in interaction with human body, society, and nature, it is hard to think that the human mind is changing in the desirable direction. This paper described a whole changing paradigm of the human mind and its causes through the cognitive mechanism in the brain from which all the diverse minds are formed. According to the cognitive mechanism, the human mind can change from the first free and peaceful mind through the middle mind to the last obsessive and anguish mind in accordance with the change of one of the factors in the origin of the human mind. Today's unfavorable changes in human beings, society, and the natural environment including the excessive development of civilization are the results of the undesirable changes of the human mind. This paper specified the respective characteristics of the first, middle, and the last mind and discussed where individuals' minds are and where they are going. Lastly, this paper suggested the specific ways to return to the first original mind based on the cognitive mechanism.

오늘날 인류의 문명은 빠른 속도로 발전해 가고 있음에도 불구하고 인간과 삶의 환경의 모습은 더 행복해지고 있는 것처럼 보이지 않는다. 문명이 인간의 정신, 즉 마음의 산물이고 마음은 육체뿐만 아니라 사회 및 자연환경과 연결되어 서로 상호작용하며 변화되어 간다는 점에서 오늘날 인간의 마음이 바람직한 방향으로 변화되고 있다고 보기 어렵다. 이 논문은 불행한 현상들의 근원으로서의 인간의 마음을 이해하기 위해 인간의 모든 다양한 마음이 생성되어 나오는 두뇌 인지 메커니즘을 통해 본연의 마음이 무엇이고 또 그것이 어떻게 변화되어 가는지, 마음의 전체적 변화 패러다임과 그 원인을 밝혔다. 논문의 결과에 따르면 자유롭고 평온한 인간 본연의 처음 마음은 인지 근원지의 구성요소 중 하나인 내부 인지 공간의 진화에 따라 중간 마음을 거쳐, 극단적으로 내부 인지 공간 안에 갇힌 자폐상태가 되어 감각 기억에 극단적으로 강하게 구속되고(극단적 집착) 내적으로만 사고(극단적 번뇌)하는 끝 마음으로 변화할 수 있다. 오늘날 지나친 문명 발달을 포함한 인간, 사회, 자연환경의 부정적인 변화의 모습들은 모두 이런 마음의 변화과정의 산물로 해석된다. 이 논문은 본연의 처음 마음, 변화되고 있는 중간 마음, 극단적인 모습의 끝마음의 특징들을 기술하고 현재 개인들의 마음이 어디에 있으며 어디로 변화해가고 있는지를 논의하며, 마지막으로 두뇌 인지 메카니즘을 통해 인간의 본연의 첫 마음을 회복할 수 있는 구체적인 방법을 제시하고 있다.
