The mind is likened to the canvas of the artist, the artist needs a medium in order to express his creation . It is likened to a mirror also so that you can perceive yourself and everything else in reflection of that .
If you associate the mind with just brain activity then it falls way too short of explaining how other non physical life forms experience what they do without a brain in reflection of my understanding .
The mind is not capable of doing anything .. just as the mind cannot hold you in the ego's clutches or be addicted to beer ..
What you are of the mind is what is capable or not ..
Any clearer?

Sorry Daz. Not happening. Anyway I dont want to get into the detail of which life form, with or without some form of brainlike mechanism may or may not have a mind:).
Lets limit it to people who we know have a brain. So it is being suggested that Mind in people is the activity of the brain. What else are you suggesting is mind in people other than brain activity? Lets get past this definition stuff asap so we can talk about the substance of this thread.
