Is There A Such Thing As The Mind Or Is It Just A Steady Decline Into The Originality That We All Claim? Options

the concept of the mind is an illusive one at best at least to me. we use our "brain" to think up things such as equations and problems that we cannot seem to understand. yet when we put our "mind" to something we can achieve all things. the strangest part of this scenario is we dont even know which is which since we confuse "mind" with "brain" all the time.

it appears that the mind is the inner metaphysics of our body or the "soul" while the brain is the main part of the body we use to think and even stay alive. yet the "mind" too is the main thinking vessel in our system so some would say. i personally do not know what to think about the mind/brain coincidence. seeing as to the brain we use is not even half of the power we could use and the mind is this force that is blurred too easily with the notion of energy/matter manipulation in the brain. where is the distinct line and if there isn't one than why the hell do we make ourself accepting to this schizophrenic type manner of thinking. in most ways that we think we want to be individual.

how then can we be individual and somehow limit ourselves to the same mistakes of our forefathers by following the leader that is as blind to the ways of everything as we our. their guess is as good as ours and yet we put ourselves in the same sheepish behavior as those that came before us. such as listening to the psychological bull that no one to this day truly understands. and if you truly understand this dying principle philosophy that states we are all flawed enough that we need others to tell us what's wrong with us and not trust our own instincts anymore, the one thing that has helped us survive for so long as we have, than you understand that it is nothing more than mind manipulation on a grand scale.

there is a brain, mind is just a state of "mind" which is nothing more than the principle of acting. getting yourself into that "mindset" so as to think of yourself as something you are not constantly searching for that which is right in front of you but not accepting it. screw that!
i believe everyone is responsible for their life and no one can tell them what they are. i wish this "great" land we live in would believe in this again. because we are declining so that the current "mindset" of America is not the right thing anymore it is now the "POLITICALLY CORRECT' thing. this sux. we are so close to destruction and yet do we even realize the horror we shall all soon face.

feedback and such

Mind is term that I use for referencing the specific process of my body’s brain whose purpose is both the analysis, and the actualization, of patterns for interpersonal behavior.

Mind functions according to two levels: subconscious; and, conscious.

The subconscious level of mind involves autonomic fulfillment of mind’s purpose.
The subconscious level of mind can influence the conscious level of mind.

The conscious level of mind involves manual fulfillment of mind’s purpose.
The conscious level of mind can program the subconscious level of mind.
