Comparing The Brain, Mind, And Altered States Of Consciousness

Personally I will say the Mind and the brain are the same. From what I have read about these two topics I can certainly say that the mind basically reenact the information that the brain is trying to relate to us. How ever one can also argue that this two part are different but they act in alliance of each other. According to (Carter pg. 15). “ The brain is the most complex organ in the body and is probably the most complex system known to humankind. Our brain contains billions of neurons that are constantly sending signals to each other, and it is this signaling that creates our minds” this just goes to show how much our brain would have being useless without the help of the mind.

Livergood in my last paragraph since in my study I have try to find a spiritual connection between mental illness and scientific definition of mental illness so throughout the course of this term I have move fort and back between the

Naturally, we cannot expect to find any compact description to cover every detail of all the processes in a human brain, because that would involve the details of the architectures of perhaps a hundred different sorts of computers, interconnected by thousands of specialized bundles of connections. It is an immensely complex matter of engineering. Nevertheless, when the mind is regarded, in principle, in terms of what the brain may do, many questions that are usually considered to be philosophical can now be recognized as merely psychological-because the long-sought connections between mind and brain do not involve two separate worlds, but merely relate two points of
