However, I still don't fully understand what is meant by this.I read "Inner" as in temporal (interior) vs spatial. In time, things related to each other "resonate". This is how we come to know things through other things which have the same conceptual congruence and why analogies work to reveal information.

The idea is to become aware of how each resource is informing awareness. "Mind" is a principle. It's also ultimately "one thing" so aspects of it would be shared depending on what needed to be accessed.
Does anyone have any clarification to offer on what is meant by this? What types of ratios are there to be observed?

Usually you become aware of the feeling or emotion first, then you find the cause of the disturbance by thinking/feeling the disposition.
