In your opinion, what is a beautiful mind?

I'm thinking of several categories:
communication,
emotional,
intellectual,
social,
ethical

  • There's an old saying about pornography ... I can't describe it but I know it when I see it ... I think you're question falls into this category ... To appreciate a beautiful mind you have to know that mind and understand it ... We most likely pass then every day in the street but will never know

    I saw two presentations recently.  The first presenter tried to impress us with his intellect and achievements.  The second laughed at himself during his talk, was okay with us laughing along with him, meeting us on our level.  His mind was more beautiful than the former.  Even better would be someone who puts himself beneath us to lift us up.  That is a beautiful mind to me.

  • Very true ... Those that see and use knowledge to help rather than to separate

    Knowledge inflates, wisdom deflates.  That's an old saying that I just made up.

    The most beautiful mind is
    a mind that is  silent
    without any thoughts
    running through it
    ... no egoic touches
    just....the light of pure awareness.

    Can we start with somewhat-more-beautiful minds who will use their turn signals?...;-D...

  • I remember the subjective experience of mental silence was sublimely beautiful.

    To be surrounded by others in a similar state... my feeling response in their presence was  just very mildly pleasant, mostly neutral.

    A mind I find beautiful is overflowing (with a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, thinking skills, creativity, awareness, responsiveness, responsibility, authenticity, and empathy.) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 24, 2016 5:34 PM MST

  • A beautiful mind is one which acknowledges and accepts another without harsh judgement of the thoughts racing through the latter.
