When we need the Mind to recognize patterns to perceive and be understood, we can say that while being studied becomes an Object of the Observed.

The Observer is some thing else.

The Mind is able to observe thoughts and There is something else that observes the Mind as well.

Indian Philosophy classifies three things in respect of Mind.

Brain,the activity of which leads to the

Mind, Buddhi, The Discriminator.

Chitha, the dispositions( not the predispositions of Indian Philosophy, which means Vasanas or tendencies acquired over years including the previous Births)

The Observer is different from the Observed at the mundane or Transitory world.

To recognize an Object as the object, for that matter as an Object, Recognition is required.

Recognition is possible only when there is Data stored already.

For instance, to recognize a Rose as a Rose, at the first instance, we need some one to describe it .

But extend the logic.

How a Rose would have have been identified as such for the First Human Being as such when there were none around?

This calls for apriori Knowledge.(Knowledge that is innate.

This is the foundation of Idealism of Philosophy. whic h has been explained by Rene Descartes in His Books Principia philosophiae (Principles of Philosophy),Regulae ad directionem ingenii (Rules for the Direction of the Mind)'

Mind lets us know what it wants us to know.

As Nature does.
