It totally depends upon the definition of “mind.”

Enlightenment or transcendence is not the tree realizing it is “in the forest”, it is the tree realizing it “is One with the forest.”

When we are truly “Born of the Spirit” we begin to perceive directly with our consciousness beyond our physical bodies. As we expand this conscious awareness even further beyond our physical bodies we become aware of the greater reality in which we exist.

This is why Jesus stated “My Father and I are One.” And why Buddha stated, “ I am One with Everything. “

In John 14, Jesus stated. “ The things that I do and even more, you too shall do in my name.” It is the truth..

We are souls, using these physical bodies as seeds pods to sprout and grow here on earth. (Read Jesus’ explanation of the Tares in the wheat” parable st the end of Matthew 13.)
