Can you explain this ‘mind realizing’ in a bit more detail for me please. What is mind? Do you mean thought here? Understanding?

Can you elaborate?

Resistance as in the way of confusion.
As in things that made me worried and hold grudges for days now are different.
There is no sense of something vital within being hurt, just a sense of hearing something ...

Thank you, I am waiting.
