Is your body your enemy?

Is your brain a body or a mind? Can your thoughts exist without your body that feeds the brain? The best analogy is probably a computer. Body is hardware, mind is software. Brain is a physical entity powered by nutrients, hormones, electrical signals (neurons), thoughts are electric signals projected onto your brain. Brain (hardware) generates signals of pain and feeds into your software, which produces pain signals onto the screen that your mind (software) recognizes.

 

Your brain is an organ, just like your liver or spleen!

 

Ok, so that’s why we say Mind Body Syndrome and not Brain Body Syndrome. So the brain is part of the body like all other organs. So, healing is the unification of the mind (software) with all the organs and nervous system (hardware). I think I got it. Silly question, is the mind just part of the brain or is the mind co located in various organs including the nervous system? Can someone define “mind” from a TMS perspective? I have always used the terms brain and mind synonymously.

 

I consider the mind and brain to be the same thing because to me the brain is the thing doing everything, but according to google ai the mind is the abstract mental processes of the brain. I looked this up the other day cause I saw a Sam miller video talking about how the brain and mind are different. I’m not really into the psychology of those videos (ego, self) and don’t think neuroscientists even delve into any of that but I could be wrong.

 

Indeed, the brain is the organ, the mind is the “life” part of the brain. That’s how I see it. The mind, as I understand it, only exists within the brain. The mind communicates with the body via the cables known as the nervous system. It’s my working assumption that the nervous system and body do not have an intelligence centre. All the intelligence work is managed and coordinated by the brain/mind.
