If a mind (not to be confused with a brain) can be said to have a position at all it would be the place it is thinking about, which is usually the place the sense organs are observing. Due to human anatomy the sense organs and the place the data is processed are in almost the same place but that need not be true for mind ingeneral.>// /You are implicitly assuming a unity of mind which it might not have. /Assume it? I don't even know what "unity of mind" means. I assume nothing, I observe that a mind has no way of determining its position without input information from sense organs and therefore its problematic to say a mind occupies a unique position in space at all.
Did I write /*spatial*/ unity? Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
