What is the mind.....?
 
Studying away like a good one here, doing stuff on biological psychology etc and suddenly one question came up that I can't get rid of........

What is the mind?
Where is it?
We can't "find" it through modern science located anywhere - so what is it?

Any thoughts on the subject?

Sending you all good vibes and hoping you are all doing well

The facetious answer is that you aren't looking very hard are you - but I assume you mean mind as distinct from conciousness (which is an emergent thing that goes on inside your brain). The non facetious answer is that you can't separate 'mind' and body like that. Duality is an illusion - albeit a very good one.

Besides, to be even more meta-physical, it's possible that none of us is actually really here. According to some physicists reality is just a 3D holographic projection from the edge of the universe. So, even if you could locate it, it may actually be somewhere else.

Yes, but just not where you think you do, apparently.

As an after thought, how can you "loose your mind" if you don't know what it is in the first place? :confused:

The mind is what the terminally superstitious confuse with a "soul"...

C for the noun
S for the verb

or just listen to how they are pronounced FFS

Just one of the many things that wind me up!

Except and accept.......grr.
