At least in AmE we use "sort of" as a synonym for approximately or vaguely. So in this case what follows is somewhat neutral but not perfectly neutral.

على الأقل في AmE ، نستخدم "نوعًا ما" كمرادف تقريبًا أو غامض. إذن في هذه الحالة ما يلي هو محايد إلى حد ما ولكنه ليس محايدًا تمامًا.
Neutral here with the full sentence does not make sense to me. I mean I it's meaning a lone, but I couldn't understand it with the whole sentence 😥

She's talking about what she refers to as the 'quality of mind'. The mind is neutral until the verbal cue is made, which changes that quality of mind.
