A DREAMER REMINDER
Piece of Mind
To See the World as Thought, Not Thing—A Test of Consciousness in Plain Sight
An easy exercise for living the One Mind hypothesis
What if the world is not happening to you, but in you?
If reality is a dream dreamt by a single field of consciousness, then everything you see—this screen, a passing bus, someone’s laughter—is not outside of you, but a piece of mind.
This isn’t a belief.
It’s a test I’ve been running.
And this phrase—“piece of mind”—has become one of my quietest, most helpful tools.
It’s a perceptual nudge. A pocket-sized hypothesis.
A way of walking through the world that begins to:
dissolve the lines between self and other
foster a sense of inner wholeness
reveal the mental fabric beneath the forms
You don’t need to get it.
You don’t need to feel anything special.
You don’t even need to slow down.
Just try this sentence:
“This is a piece of mind.”
“That too.”
“And that…”
Objects. Places. Thoughts. People.
Say it in your mind while scanning with your eyes.
Watch as it brings you into the present, fostering unity and serenity.
Sometimes, switch the meaning from Piece of Mind to Peace of Mind—and see what happens.
“For me, this practice gradually undid the sense that the world was made of separate things. It helped bring everything to the level of thought—simple, shared, and still. That’s when something peaceful began to surface. Not a grand revelation. Just a shift. A kind of mental belonging.”
Why Piece of Mind?
To Glimpse the Possibility That Everything You See Is Already Inside
Recognizing that everything we encounter may be part of a single field of consciousness—what some call the “One Mind”—has quietly changed the way I move through the world.
Repeating the phrase “piece of mind” became a way to dissolve boundaries I didn’t know I was enforcing. Not as a spiritual technique, but as a perceptual experiment. It gently loosens the grip of attachments, softens reactions, and opens a kind of flexibility in how I relate to change, tension, or uncertainty.
In my own life, it’s helped when facing the very ordinary frictions: digital overload, relationship tensions, financial pressure, moments of anxiety or grief. Saying “piece of mind” wasn’t a cure—but it was a cue. A reminder that what I’m seeing might not be separate from what I am.
That possibility—drawn from the crossroads of cognitive science, consciousness studies, and poetic perception—invites a shift.
Not from ignorance to truth.
But from fragmentation to a quieter kind of wholeness.
Sometimes, without effort, that shift feels like a kind of peace.
A “peace of mind” that emerges not from solving life, but from seeing it all—object by object, moment by moment—as something already inside.
Martin Lenclos
“At its simplest, piece of mind isn’t a call to action—it’s a quiet, up-layered thought. A soft interruption. A repeatable gesture that loosens the tension we carry from believing we’re apart.
It offers no answers—only a lens. A way to test whether the suffering of separation begins to dissolve when we stop seeing the world as made of many things, and start sensing it as one seamless mind, appearing briefly as many.
Try this: Ask yourself, what if nothing I see is outside me… but part of the same thought? And if there is only one thought, then—with no two—there can be no opposition, no contradiction.
There can only be Peace of Mind”
JOURNAL ANNOTATION
From Piece to Peace
These reflections weren’t written to teach, but to trace a shift in perception that unfolded through practice. The tone here leans more mystical, yet it remains part of the same experiment: What happens when I live as though the world is dreamed inside One Mind? Some of these thoughts were shaped by ancient texts in Eastern philosophy, others arose in silence or sudden clarity—and many emerged in the space between.
We are one in the now.
Sometimes I feel that—not as a belief, but as a strange stillness that settles over everything.
It doesn’t last long. But it leaves something behind.
Over time, this practice begins to sink in. Not as a lesson, but as a shift.
A slow, quiet change in how the world appears.
Moments that used to seem ordinary begin to feel connected.
As if the mind is piecing together something larger—
not by effort, but by letting go.
From initial insight to some unexpected calm,
the movement is subtle. But it’s there.
There’s a point when I no longer look for meaning in what happens—
and instead begin to see meaning in everything at once.
That’s when “piece of mind” starts to turn into “peace of mind.”
Not a dramatic revelation, but a reorientation:
from personal identity stretched across time
to something vertical, immediate, and hard to name.
Not me in the moment—but mind itself, quiet and whole.
At times, it feels like everything drops away.
Not the world itself—but the way I thought it worked.
The mind stretches beyond the edges I used to trust—
beyond location, body, and name.
And in that wide space, something else becomes available:
Not a better version of “me,”
but a sense of Self that doesn’t begin or end.
The usual concepts—roles, beliefs, the need to explain—start to dissolve.
What’s left isn’t empty.
It’s still.
A mind not bound by thought,
a presence that isn’t trying to be anything.
I wouldn’t call it enlightenment.
But it does feel like remembering.
That I am not in life—
but life itself.
Not someone seeking love—
but the space in which love quietly exists,
asking nothing in return.
