Beyond the brain Then how do we know who we are Some people may say that I am the mind Not the soul That’s possible See first of all We can take this One step at a time First step is that there is something More to me than the body Just understanding that That itself is a huge Leap forward in our spiritual Understanding, spiritual growth Now What all is there beyond The body, beyond matter That is something Which we ourselves May not immediately understand And in western Philosophical history Whatever Is beyond the body Has been called the mind So That’s why you are talking about Rene Descartes Mind matter duality So that’s why they often say mind above matter Mind above matter means Okay, things are there But think about them and don’t get influenced by them Keep your mind above matter So And the meanings of words Are not frozen In dictionaries Words have meanings In particular contexts And the same word can have different meanings In different situations So In the western philosophical context The word mind Is simply used To refer to something Beyond the body Everything that is beyond the body is called as the mind And that way if you see the word Mind has many meanings For example A child did not A student did not study He is not paying attention in the class The teacher will say give this to your full mind And here it means Give it to your full attention Or somebody speaks something crazy Have you lost your mind?
