Understanding the concepts 'mind' and 'brain'

THE MATTER

Open up the skull and take out the brain, then say which part of it is the mind. It doesn't take a person with a brain to even begin to know the mind behind that mentality. This then would determine that mind is more than just the 'matter' called a brain; but a consciousness within the being, called a person with a mind as well as a brain. It is debated how much of our brain we use, and long stated we use only one tenth of it's capacity. Who's mind is the judge of this? The degrees to which many do use their brains, would have more to do with just what magnitude their awareness was.

It has been a known thing that the workings of a mind are sometimes even way beyond even being able to be understood, even though psychologists and psychiatrists claim to analyze a persons mind. By using mind altering drugs which may claim to be of help - only when in use - some of these poor beings have in truth been altered mindlessly via. brain fixing chemicals. Sometimes, doing great harm to the very mind of the being within the body which holds this brain they claim to keep under control; even at the expense of the individual person who owns the brain.

Again, there is division between an understanding of the whole concept of mind and brain. A mind can 'wander' out of the body leaving all memory of time and space of the body to which the brain is a fiixed organ of matter. This would have to imply there is more to mind, referred to as the spirit and soul substance of existence to whom the brain is attached. The brain cannot leave the body as the mind can.

Nanotechnology has helped in reading words of meaning from what they term 'the mind' in this pin-point they believe is part of the brain. Let's just call this point in the frontal lobe, our data processor; in which words are stored, randomly or in perceived cognizance. The internal representation of a discussion by function of the brain's electrode-wired contact talks, and viola, the person's memory to whom the brain belongs, speaks!

Yet! Without anyone operating the computing machine, although it remains with every conceivable function of operation only fed into it, it is useless unless 'that somebody' is at the helm. Either a person at the steering system of the nano-computerized mechanism, or the mind of the person operating the bodily brain's engineering.

This is the essence of explaining or understanding the concepts of mind and brain. One, the brain is the computer network of the person it belongs to. The other, mind, is that person, the essence which carries on even outside of the body to which the brain is fixed. The core of the being which is not bound by the limits of the programmed reckoner; but who can feed into it's network, more and more outside information, from an even greater consciousness of Life.

A brain can loose many functions; before it would be classed as brain dead. No use to anyone. The mind, spirit essence of that same person's brain, can carry on, within a still living dimension outside of the body where the brain cannot go, and still live on in a state of life's vital spirit principle of consciousness and not die. Facts have proven... some live to tell.

One - brain - is the concept of not fully understanding it; the other, mind, is not an opinion at all, but the life which uses the brain to function only bodily.
