Let me try this on(e)... it's because the brain is the physical
structure within which our thinking processes occur and collectively
those processes we call the 'mind'. I don't see a way to say the same
thing or anything remotely parallel, about soul, aura, the Great
Unknown and such. Is there an argument to say that the brain, or the
thinking processes don't exist in the same way we can argue that the
others don't (or might not)?
Thanks
