Lets seriously try to solve this. It's just words, I don't mind changing words if it helps understanding. What we need is a different word... Lets say "Unity mind" when we speak about the mind concept that Unity uses.
Let me try to summarize your concept of "mind"...
Mind is what the western world calls the mind, but it is broader than that. It also includes the masculine concepts you mention but not the feminine. Would you say mind is many information processing systems?
For example, you would call instinct mind? You would call the subconscious mind? But you would not call intuition mind right? That's a more feminine energy right there.
I mentioned instinct, intellect, intuition emotion and sensation. Would you please categorize those as "unity mind" or not "unity mind". If your definition of the word mind is vastly different than mine we can talk for days and get no where. And it's true I came from an occult background. So it's not weird to expect some differences in vocabulary.
Let me remind you once more though because it's important to me that I NEVER EVER said that you should NOT use a system. I simply stated that various of our systems cannot handle certain tasks. If you were to use ONLY that system. As it seemed you were doing. Then you'll get no where... Just like the bird trying to climb a tree. It's just not going to work for him. He also does not need to unless he's an ostrich or something and even then failure is imminent.
So I never suggested only using 25% of capacity as per the example you used. I suggested the opposite, going from 25%, (A lot less actually if you use my limiting definition of mental reasoning) to 100% by using everything you've got... My goal just like yours is to optimize my function. So if it seems I choose to use less of my faculties please assume something was distorted in translation.
