Dear Dean, Ken,
Coincidentally :)) I was just reading "The Last Talks" by J Krishnamurti. Here's what he said on the subject...
"Here, we must separate the brain from the mind. The brain is the centre of all our nerves, all our knowledge, all our theories, opinions, prejudices... is there a difference between that brain and the mind? The brain will always be limited...This brain which is conditioned by knowledge, by experience, by tradition, cannot have any communication with the mind which is totally outside the activity of the brain. That mind can communicate with the brain, but the brain cannot communicate with...[the mind]--the mind is too immense because it doesn't belong to you; it's not your mind. p. 96
Thoughts anyone?
Love, Hillary
