I think it's possible that the "mind" is our very consciousness--it is who we are.
The brain appears to be a kind of adaptor mechanism that our consciousness needs to connect with this reality or dimension roughly the way a remote-controlled DaVinci surgical robot enables a surgeon to operate telescopically on a patient though the patient and surgeon are in different parts of the country.
The soul/mind is attached to the body through or near the brain but it's probably not even in the same physical dimension as the brain and body.
As some people who have had near-death experiences have said, the brain actually limits the mind in a way. But without these limitations, we would not be able to connect with this world.
Pretty good description..
The human soul is very large. About 30 ft in diameter at its smallest point.
Earliest life memories are stored furthest from the physical body. Current memories are stored close to the body.
The soul provides the consciousness for life to exist. It is the epigenetic influence that causes the zygote to form and for the stem cells to specialize.
The soul manifests the physical body, and continues to exist when the body is gone.
The Bible is very accurate in teaching what is necessary for the soul to grow.(Jesus’s teachings)
The entire physical body exists within the soul. It connects everywhere, but there are certain places with stronger connections. The braun, the spine, the gut (Vagus nerves), and the brain.
The most important connection is in the heart and its the reason the heart will continue beating for several minutes after removal from the body.(some beat for 30+ minutes, totally disconnected from the body.
The heart is also the location where two souls connect to become one in the eyes of God, per Paul’s statements. It also the reason for the heartache in grief when a loved one dies and departs the heart connection.
