    I mean, mental illness is still going to exist, no matter how much power you give your mind.

      Mental illness is treatable, and being aware of the symptoms as they’re happening is a major part of the treatment for many such illnesses.

        Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it completely goes away. Mental illness is the human equivalent of software issues, the very definition entails you can’t be like Neo from the Matrix and seize one’s own mind.

          I’m not understanding your comment. Mindfulness is paying close attention to the actual experiences in consciousness, as opposed to just being carried along by thoughts. It’s not about taking control of your mind.

            Oh. Yeah that makes sense then. The way you described it in your original comment made it seem like gnostic-esque advice.
