One of the products of a physical brain is called mind.
The function of a mind is to regulate the behavior of the body within which it resides.
Regulation means mathematical operations, how do we add behaviors, subtract them, multiply them, divided them. This is also called self control, Government, etc.

If one cannot do these operations with the simple, they most certainly cannot do them with the complex.

The ability to perform these operations is called reasoning, literacy, wisdom, etc.

No brain can produce a mind when it is insufficiently evolved to do so.
Scream at a fool all you want, that fool cannot process the information.

It helps to test this, with real interaction with one's self and other people. And one should continue to test it in order to firmly instill a conviction of truth in the matter. But, no one can stop trying to be what we are to become. Practice makes perfect.

Descartes famously wrote: 'I think, therefore I am'. However, following research into embodied cognition it is time to replace that claim with 'I move, therefore I think'.

Only the mind moves, not you.
The mind can only be of past or future, never the unmoving ever present.


It is the entire organism rather than the body alone or the brain alone that interacts with the environment...When we see, or hear, or touch or taste or smell, body proper and brain participate in the interaction with the environment.

Everything known is already written, and can be accessed on demand to know. Anything unknown, is yet to be discovered, become known eventually. But that which is “unknowable” can never be known.

Unfulfilled potential belongs to the ego, that sense of being separated by the limitation of language. In reality, everything is automatically functioning at it’s optimum fundamental potential.
