Mind over (doesn't) matter

Mind over (doesn't) matter
by Ta-Wan

Terminology traps. Is it mind, is it brain, the grand Mind? Is it ego, is it anything else? Does mind come first or does the brain produce mind?

None of these are really problems, but for the dualistic nature of language.

There is simply thinking. Thinker and thought are not separate.

  1. But if you want to communicate, a dualistic exercise, one to one, between the two or more of us, terminology and clarity IS important. It's easy to say "whatever", but intellectual rigor demands more. Otherwise why are we writing?
