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

How is banging on about mind any different from banging on about soul,
