    What is the mind? Is it identical to the brain? Can work in Artificial Intelligence throw any light on the nature of our minds? Is a science of consciousness possible? How can the mind represent the world outside?

    The mind cannot represent the world outside as the world outside is an illusion of wave patterns used to keep you under control and locked into a singular reality. Without this, we would all live in the infinite...

    The way I see it...

    mind is your universe, that which you experience -- it is your experiences, your senses, it is you and your universe. Mind is the universe in which you inhabit, through which you interact with a parallel but non-traversable (cannot 'enter' as it were) universe.

    I think a good analagy would be a person locked in a room with a television; to that person the universe is everything they percieve within that room and whatever they may come accross on the television.

    The mind is not identical to the brain, that would be like comparing the operation of a computer to the hardware of a computer.

    again, only my thoughts on the subject
