Dear Hillary and All,

Deepak Chopra discusses this subject extensively in his book "How to Know God." That book is not the first time Chopra discussed/speculated about body-mind-cosmic connection. From what I gather, the Mind is the total Whole and yes we do own it -- collectively. It is our brain that is transitory -- born/lives/dies -- . The Mind is Eternal and when connected to the Mind, we bridge the Gap. The "Gap" is what Chopra focuses upon. He believes that memory doesn't exist within the body, so that means it doesn't exist within the brain. And, I guess "we" don't own our brain (in the "end") so therefore...we don't own ...Our Mind. Perhaps we are only contributing to the Whole? To Dog/dess? WHOOPS! That's a typo, but I'm going to let it stand.

Love,

Hety

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
