So what you are saying is that the mind is a mythical entity which can exist without the brain ? Sounds like fantasy to me.

More likely , hence why people who take drugs or get brain damaged , is that the brain controls the mind.

If you need proof of this then go down to the local tavern, consume or observe someone consume a large quatity of alcohol and then observe the change in their state of mind. The alcohol has affected their brain which makes them unable to think clearly .

If the mind controlled the brain then people wouldnt do stupid things while drunk.

Not all brains are the same , just like some people are taller , bigger, more muscle etc .

However alot of our emotions and thoughts etc are created during living from experiance and learning from the time we are born till the time we die.

We learn from our parents or people around us which shapes our mind.

Your brain is your mind. Saying your brain controls you is correct. We are merely a complex biological program which follows instructions .

We have decision making process but we usually make decisions based on what we have learnt and previous experiances.

For example we have muscle memory, for example fold your arms normally , now fold your arms with the top arm underneath . It feels strange right . That is muscle memory .

The brain also has Procedural memory

we are not concious of these controls but they also make up our mind.

It is a very complex system which makes us seemingly unaware of the fact that we are really at the whim of our brain.

Phil, youve got it backward. The mind controls your brain. The brain is just a vessel.Gradschool explained it well. Does the mind not exist because you cannot see it? In that case, I declare that you do not have a mind (because I can’t see it).

Are not all brains anatomically identical? So then… if our brain determined how we thought, felt, or acted then would we not all think, feel, and act the same??

Might want to find a better analogy “In fact, your brain has more connections in it than there are stars in the universe!” as the universe is widely perceived as being infinite.

Great article. Since now on, I’ll surely be trying to put them in practice and hopefully will succeed. Thanks.

I think this article is both very refreshing and helpful. It sort of reminds us that we do possess a supercomputer within us waiting to be unleashed and the only way to do it is to train our brain to unleash its untapped hidden potential.

Thanks, I enjoyed it and i think the entity mind and brain are often confused by many . So i may say that the brain is the physical manifestation of what we call brain (really isn’t it the center of all).

I really like the first one run up your brain. Kinda reminds you of how we are supposed to use Lithium batteries. for better performance they always tell you to run it all the way down and then charge. Just like the author is saying. Make sure you are exercising and using your brain, then have a good nights sleep….good brain keep up

Think of the mind brain connection as a pilot and plane connection. the pilot does not actually fly the plane. However, he does “activate” the right things to make the plane fly as it should. The author here is just basically stating how to make your plane extra responsive and able to take orders better. Someone stated that we only use 10% of our brains, which is true however these tactics can help you use more of your brain therefore giving the mind more to “Control”….I know this is kinda confusing. Let me know if you dont understand
