yes, a large set of unsubstantial abiities. That's what makes 'mind' competely abstract. The experience of memory and thought etc is known, so lets just say that mind enables experience for the sake of simplistic illustration. As the mind enables experience, there is no experience of mind itself. It only exists as an abstract concept.

Well, it may be mind which enables experience, but what you may be failing to see is that it is mind which comprises the entirety of experience itself, according to it's definition. We don't experience anything outside of the realm of mind. Mind IS our experience. |
