Re: Re: Mind is life
Hi Stephen P. King I overlooked the most important attribute IMHO of mind, that being intelligence. And indeed I may often seem to have a private language of terms, although I try to use them as straight-forwardly as I can. Those attributes to my mind are obtained but what mind enables us to do. Self-animation probably covers the whole list.

Dear Roger, That definition seems to work for me. ;-) But I worry about the meanings of some of the words that you use. -- Onward!

Mind is life
Hi Stephen P. King A mind is the medium through which a self with an unchanging identity or soul actively senses, thinks, knows, can choose, imagine, create, and perceive, subjectively, all on its own, to whatever extent that is possible. Thus mind is the same as life. And not the organs of the brain per se, but the life which lives in or is associated with the brain, and more broadly with the whole body. While it still lives. I think, therefore I am. Roger Clough, rclo...@verizon.net 11/5/2012 "Forever is a long time, especially near the end." -Woody Allen - Receiving the following content - From: Stephen P.
