What is the difference between the MIND and the brain?

I ask this because modern mental health [which I refer to as BS&bp (Behavioral Science and the oxymoron "behavioral psychology") often write as though these two are the same. Brain is physical, MIND is not. But aside from this, what's the difference?

@Brother James,

your MIND is the response product of the brain and the sensory system

It's the same difference as the one between propulsion and the jet engine. Propulsion emerges from jet engines; minds emerge from brains.

@farmerman,

This is what you "think". I was rather inquiring as to the actual difference between the physical brain and the non-physical MIND.

@Thomas,

If one is enamored with the brain, and in denial of phenomena beyond the physical dimension, your answer is no doubt adequate for you. The brain is new with each birth, the MIND however, travels with the Soul from birth to birth.

Because he's intelligent, not goofily insane, and ACTUALLY welcomed here unlike some nonsense spouting conartists/witch doctors.

You were eh? Well the word "mind" is an english construct, from an early german "gemund" which translates to "FEELINGS"

What you wish is what I implied, its apples and cumquats

Apparently, Bubba here is grossly offended by the word bullshit. I wonder what he has against bulls . . . or ****, for that matter.

The brain is the hardware/bios and the mind is the OS and other software.

I suspect it is of some pleasure for one to think of himself, or herself as intelligent. And I do appreciate this level of achievement of the brain and thinking. One can spend lifetimes engaged in thinking about life. My desire is different, that's all.

@Thomas,

I invite you to read: The Path of the Masters, by Julian Johnson. But then, if you actually demand physical "evidence", there is none to be had. Imagine how confident a person might be to demand in the 1600's that anyone who suggests that someday a large metal object will fly is insane and should be locked up.

I understand you can read a dictionary, that was not my point. My point was what is the MIND, and how does it operate within Man, and for what purpose?

@BillRM,

Other software? And that to you is an explanation of the operation and existence of the MIND? I would have thought that the fact the brain and MIND are differentiated was inherent in the question.

Thanks --- I suspected as much.

Never mind the 1600s. Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine, sketched in the 1400s, comes close enough as a proof of concept.

Nobody locked up da Vinci for proposing it. You see, Renaissance people weren't as dense as you want us to think --- and neither are the 21st-century people who are probing for substance behind your confident new-agey proclamations.

No that is putting the cart before the horse. The brain is a muscle in the head the MIND uses to insure a person does the Karma he or she is obligated to do.

@Thomas,

On second thought... there is "evidence" but one must shift one's Attention from the brain into one's faculty of Intuition, and from that perspective one begins to "ExperTuit" the difference between the brain [which is physical] and the MIND [which is composed of the energy of the Astral region [Lower MIND] and the Causal region [Higher MIND].
