be said of the heart, circulatory system, respiratory system, liver,
kidneys etc. If they are not working, the life of the body ends,
unless extended mechanically. We don't know if it continues in
another form - or I could say, our knowing is not contained in the
mind.
While the brain is not the same as the mind, there is an awareness
beyond mind. If you have not experienced it, you may think me out of
my mind. If you have never had a completely quiet mind, you may not
have had the opportunity to go beyond it. (and I mean you in the
general sense of everyone, not you in particular, Lee) My mind is
located in me, with my thoughts, feelings and sensations - and is non
local, and that is the infinite aspect.
