You are mental! Oh yes you are. You are a Subconscious Mind and Conscious Brain. That is,  your mental process looks like that.

There are without doubt 2 mental process’s at work, one is called the conscious and the other the subconscious. I think the easiest way to think of them, and to get a handle on what they do and how they interact is to think of them like this.

Mind, the part of your mental process that is emotional, creative, playful, childlike, irrational, capricious, illogical.

Brain, the part of your mental process that is unemotional, objective, serious, adult, rational, analytical, logical.

Now it doesn’t matter whether we consider the Mind as a Separate entity or some kind of attached energy or Soul or whether we see it as product of the Physical brain. Whichever you prefer as both suffice.

The Brain however we know for sure is a physical biological computer. It handles the nervous system and our judgements and calculates all the stuff we need to pick up a spoon right through to working out why E=Mc2

The Mind does and makes us do, everything else.

All the evidence points towards there being two separate process’s that sometimes work in harmony but more often work independantly or worse, in conflict with each other.

The fact is that science is only able to speculate as to what your subconscious may or may not be. Logic seems to suggest that if the mind is a product of the brain then it’s an absolute sign of inbuilt design fault as emotions are largely unneeded and retaining a playful and spiritual immaturity is counter productive to maintaining a social status.

On the other hand it could just be that the Brain is simply a tool of the driving Mind. Which appears to be the case as regardless of logic and objective reason we are way more likely to do what the Mind wants. Emilé Coué said “If there is conflict between the Intellect and the Imagination the Imagination will always win.”

The other notable thing of course is that even when the brain is at rest and not much is being thought the Mind continues to create, desire, feel, play. Doesn’t matter if that’s in sleep, trance or coma.

So my take is that the Mind is the driver and the Brain is the pedal, steering wheel and control system of the body – vehicle.
