What is the mind?

The interface between body and soul (spirit)

Interface. That is the word I was looking for. Thanks.

Inter

The soul views the mind.

The mind views the soul.

What do you think?

The mind constrains the soul into the limitations of the body (brain)

would the soul and the mind be separate?

the mind or the brain is psychical real.

but the soul is a not psychical, your mind and your conscience create your soul.

The mind constrains the soul

Further explanation please

TZ: would the soul and the mind be separate?

E: The way I am visualizing it mind, body, and soul are entities that are subsets (i.e., aspects) of an entity.

E: I am currently a monist; many people are. The ONE (in this model) is two interdependent entities neither of which can exist without the other.

E: The ONE begets the TWO, The TWO begets the three. The Three (mind, body, soul) begets all things..

TZ: the mind or the brain is psychical real.

E: The brain is physical and the mind as NOT Physical. The body is a physical entity. The mind is a non-physical entity. The relationship between the mind and body is called the mind body problem.

E: The mind creates Subjective reality. Subjective reality is an illusion based on evidence.

TZ: your conscience create your soul.

E: Hmmm... I would use the word consciousness.


E: the mind creates subjective reality (i.e., my reality) and presents it to the soul.

E: the soul is composed of two interrelated entities. These entities are a polarity. I have labeled the polarity the SELF. The soul is the SELF

SOUL <=> Self

Me is objective (i.e., the object of experience)

I is subjective (i.e., the subject that experiences.

One bit of imagery/analogy I get is like a funnel.

There is a funnel in the top of a bottle.
It's raining.

The rain is the soul/spirit
The funnel is the mind (interface)
The bottle is the brain (physical)

As the rain falls, the funnel catches it and is contained (constrained) within the bottle.

.... are there more funnels and bottles of different shapes and sizes (in different worlds/universes) that our mind/brain does not know about, but that our soul/spirit is filling?


(this is just a developing experiment of the mind. I do not know where it will go)

In many cases our body is referred to as a vessel; aka container.

Good

Please post more when you have it. And ...and (of course) do not force it.

Another funnel would be sensory perception.

Another funnel would be intellect.

I have been conceptualizing the soul as an entity.

You view the soul as infinite.

Is that correct?

Mind = the conscious and unconscious aspects of the central nervous system which functions by electro-chemical signals.

The actual information storage, (long term, short term, and sensory), which might be called or include knowledge, is "recorded" by way of groups of neurons which (probably) use proteins.

For some reason our human brain has developed a level of self awareness that seems to exceed most if not all other sentient beings on planet earth. This self awareness it the face of what we call mind, though mind actually includes both the conscious and the unconscious.

Or something like that.
