Do you agree to this?Is brain really same as mind or mind is the mental activity in brain?I mean what do you spiritual people think?What is the connection between mind and brain?(from a spiritual view) |
Mind & brain, hmmm... I think of the mind/body connection that is talked about a lot, that your mind can effect your body and does. How you think effects your health.
Neuroscience studies what the brain is and doesn't actually say the mind is the result of the matter inside of the head. In other words, they study the processes of the brain of things like this area of neurons light up first as the planing of moving one's arm, and then the cerebellum coordinates the signals to the spinal cord nerves to make the muscles contract or relax. But what they study does not answer what made the planing neurons light up. Well, some are relfexes and they have decomposed those. But the non-reflexsive actions would be the mind doing that, our spirit or awareness that starts the brain's functions to do that moving the body action. Some brain functions are learned behaviour responses (actually a lot of them) and we don't have to think about that. All we do is decide what it is and the brain does the lighting up and such to carry out what we decided to do. Like we decide to stand up and the brain starts up the "stand up" program that we worked on when we first were trying to stand up.
The mind is that part of us that can not be decomposed out of looking at the physical brain. That mind part is our spirit and we tend to forget that somewhat in habitual thoughts. Since the brain can generate lots of thoughts that we have gotten used to thinking and those thoughts are not our mind, just patterns that we put in our brain to help us deal with the 3d world.
Brain is all the matter inside your head, neurons and chemicals runing around. Mind is the thoughts and awareness - that is the spiritual part of us, I like to think. Out brain may actually be some kind of receiver of spirit and sensor for the spirit to perceive the 3d world through our body/brain. Like we are walking attenaes that jump and such to the will of the spirit but also has lots of storing of patterns available so we don't have to do everything from scratch.
