Doesn't it feel like there is two entities? Not like two voices or personalities.

 

The external body is dependent of the internal mind. The body does what the mind commands but the body can never command the mind.

 

Walking is the body and mind working together. There is two entities because the mind wanting to walk but the body doesn't listen causes conflict. you need two entities to have conflict.

 

Yes or no?

Neuroscience proves you wrong. Evidence shows that the mind and the body are actually the same thing.

It could be that all we are is a bunch of chemical and electrical reactions and what we call the mind is just the biochemical workings of our brain.

Meditate on this, OP: Discover all you are not. Body, feelings, thoughts, ideas, time, space, being and not being, this or that - nothing concrete or abstract you can point out to is you. You must watch yourself continuously - particularly your mind - moment by moment, missing nothing. This witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the not-self ........be aware of that state which is only, simply being, without being this or that or the other. What is seedless and rootless, what does not sprout and grow, flower and fruit, what comes into being suddenly and in full glory, mysteriously and marvelously, you may call that 'god' It is entirely unexpected yet inevitable, infinitely familiar yet most surprising, beyond all hope yet absolutely certain....You can do nothing to bring it about, but you can avoid creating obstacles. Watch your mind, how it comes into being, how it operates. As you watch your mind, you discover your self as the watcher. When you stand motionless, only watching, you discover your self as the light behind the watcher. The source of light is dark, unknown is the source of knowledge. That source alone is. Go back to that source and abide there. Refuse attention, let things come and go. Desires and thoughts are also things. Disregard them. Since time immemorial the dust of events was covering the clear mirror of your mind, so that only only memories you could see. Brush off the dust before it has time to settle; this will lay bare the old layers until the true nature of your mind is discovered.

Not necessarily. I took a philosophy of mind course a semester ago at college and we looked at neuroscience and what it has to say about the mind. The problem lies in the fact that neuroscience can see all of these reactions going on in the brain but it can't explain why each reaction causes the effect that it does. The brain is still a huge mystery that even the best neuroscientists are far from understanding. While it's probably the case that we just haven't found all the information yet it's still interesting to think that if we were to copy the entire brain and transfer it into another person would that person be you? It would have your memories but it wouldn't have those experiences. The way the mind and body work is very fascinating.
