To clearly understand the mind-body problem  and if human mind and brain are the same, You need to first understand the nature of  parallel universes / multidimensional universes and the illusion of time. Well first what do you think? do you think mind and body are related or mind and body are two distinct separate substances. Sometimes it is good to have some sort of foundation before you face the problem.

“Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, quote

Mind – Body Problem

In philosophy of mind the mind body problem  is the term used to point out the  problem whether there is a connection between mind and body, is mind and body separate or they are one material substances?. The problem was first pointed out by René Descartes . There are two theories;

•  Dualism; suggests that mind and body are two separate substance.
• Monism; suggests that mind and body are one of the same material substance.

Is  Mind and Brain the same

The question of whether  the human brain and the mind are the same or they are separate you need to understand what is the relationship between the mind and brain. The brain acts as the receiver and the connection between the mental realm and the physical realm. The human mind and the human brain are one but not the same in such a way that the mind exists in a higher dimension while the brain exists in the denser dimension. Or brains processes information while our minds are the master control unit. so  the answer to “is mind and brain the same” is yes as to the mind and body are the same.

The nature of Mind and Body

Our physical body are clearly visible, we see our hands, legs , head and so fourth. If i ask you where is your hand you would show me without any point of doubts. But when it comes to mind, what is mind? Just as you would use your hand to grab and manipulate the environment around you, the mind is that which we use to learn, process and identify the environment around us, without the mind the body will be more of the Inorganic matter, or in other words it will be a dead object. However even the dead objects or the inorganic matter also have some sort of mind it only depends on how you define a mind.

Mind over matter meaning

Most of the readers  already agree that mind or at least our thoughts have some effects over matter. So to illustrate mind over matter meaning consider the following example; If i had an intention in my mind and i hold it in my mind for sometime it can cause some effects, this is the basing meaning of  mind over matter. The famous scientific experiment that demonstrates how mind over matter works is that of Dr. Masaru Emoto (message from water). watch the video below:

So you can see that mind has power over matter. Here is another interesting fact that demonstrates mind and brain are the same. Even the objects we understand as inorganic matter have a mind. For example a rock has a mind because it has physical properties, that holds it in the way it is, like it’s shape, color, structure, the ability to react with other materials and so fourth. Simply because there has to be a mind to identify all these properties. If we can tune our mind to the greater consciousness we are able to alter the ‘mental states, of matter changing their molecular structures.The big question is can your use your own mind to heal your body through mind body connection?

How is mind and body one of the same material substance?

We know that our physical body or this plane of reality is composed of molecules, atoms, electrons and sub-atomic particles. But that is as far as our science has explored, if we go further down the quantum particles it is hard to see what is down there. The human brain is composed of countless neural networks, in these neural networks passes a variety of messages instructing our body what to do, like how to move your hand, when to run, when to laugh etc. these messages are carried out in form of pulses which is micro-electric in nature just as close to that of our electronics. As for now in quantum mechanics they understand that light is both particle and wave, it has a ‘dual nature’ or in another words wave particle duality.

 The image showing the famous double slit experiment where light exhibits the property of matter both energy and matter. where it acts as wave and particle. this signifies that mind and body are one.

This takes you close to realizing the material existence of mind but not quite yet, you need to understand the nature of multidimensional universe, multidimensional being and the illusion of time. We know that light travels in a very high speed, considering that fact and imagine that you are able to perceive electrons with extremely slow speed, you will see the mind as a material existence with its form. Our bodies under a microscope are gaseous of loose molecules, and if we slow down time, we will not be able to perceive our physical body because the blood pumping into our veins and the rate of exchange of living and dead cells will be extremely fast for us to see it.So the mind body problem and if mind and brain the same is the matter of angle of perception.
