Compos Mentis, Lux Mentis
Compos Mentis: having mastery of one’s mind.
Lux Mentis: light of the mind.
The light is pure consciousness.
We are the light of consciousness.
If we have no mastery over our mind,
we are non-compos mentis: of unsound mind.
If we have no mastery over our mind,
we have no understanding or empathy.
Lux mentis is always present,
but appears dull when obscured by the mind’s ideas.
