The Body is the Creature of the Mind

[Shin'Ar]

I see two answers.

Creature defined is "image of being" or "the living part" or "under control of". Therefore if the body is the creature of the mind, it shall be at the mercy of the mind. Furthermore, the mind has power over itself to create an image of the body within the constructs of the mind without the reality of the body being present.

With that said, I would challenge anyone to think mindful thoughts after their head has been severed. in that respect, the body has all the control.

If the body was under the control of the mind we should be able to will ourselves to death, and yet we cannot. There must be an external physical event to take place that disrupts the biology. So the body is not controlled by the mind. However you are right in that the mind is able to create illusions about how we perceive the body, and also to suggest attitudes toward wearing it.

With regard to thinking once the head is severed, one would have to consider the age old mystery of exactly 'where' the consciousness resides in the human form. If one supposes that the consciousness resides in the head than it would not be surprising to hear them suggest that a bodiless head can continue to think because it has the brain inside of it.

Or there are those who believe that the brain cannot function without the whole body and the head would therefore be an unthinking piece of flesh once removed from the body.

We know the brain goes into shock during extreme violation of the bodily functions. Which is probably why the eyes and mouth do not work once the head is severed even though all of the organs and muscles that would be used for those functions of sight and speaking are located in that same piece of the body.

Does a person actually need their legs to see, or their abdomen to speak?

What a strange thing for me to be saying?

Point made I think is that true consciousness is not found in body parts, but is found much deeper in the physical makeup and not associated entirely with the physical but exists on a level that transcends both.

Ever further evidence of reincarnating consciousness.

Body and mind are principles. I tend to think of the most simple manifestations of body and mind as being the space and time of 1st density.

If by 1st density you somehow refer to the origin of life and existence, than I would agree.
