Are we the machine or the man operating the machine, or both.
If we extend our existence from our controlling mind to our physical bodies, then why not extend further into our surroundings, as a definition for our existance.
To me it's not BOTH, because the word separates to two unnecessarily. The mind is a part of the body.
I'm saying yes to this one cuz I believe it can happen like at least I wasn't the one asking to make sure if it was real. These words are my mind, my opinion, me. My body is the one making this message happening right now with the typing of my fingers. So, yes, it IS a fact.
G They are not separate. It's not both. It's multiple dimensions, or aspects, of which body and mind are two clusters of aspects. Tientai posited 3000 aspects of one thought. Even his system implies 145,000 aspects, when you go into the depths. Just look how many aspects of mind investigations there are. How many have not been thought of yet? How many aspects of body investigations are there? How do they affect each other? The variety is dizzying and it's all one web without limits in space, or time.
Yes. I certainly have a body, as far as my senses tell me. And I wouldn't even be able to comprehend that I had a body without a mind. So, yeah, I have a body and a mind.
