The fact that having a mind is an involuntary imposition helps with the realization that it is not a personal choice or decision.

“Like the body, the mind is not one’s real self, and like the body, it is basically impersonal. It has thoughts, but these thoughts are not a product of the self. Even if a person does not want a mind, they have one anyway. There is no choice in the matter; the mind is imposed and thrust upon one unasked. The fact that having a mind is an involuntary imposition helps with the realization that it is not a personal choice or decision.” – David Hawkins
