< Emergence 10 > We've been talking a lot of about the mind and the brain. A little differentiation here. The brain is this vessel that sits on top of your head. It is an electromagnetic chemical device, the brain that's in your head. Now, I use the word “mind,” which is really the psyche. It's kind of the human spirit, in a way, the human intelligence. It actually doesn't reside in your brain, believe it or not. I use the word “mind” and for some of you, particularly in some of the German speaking countries, this is a little challenging at times, because “mind” is similar to, I guess, “ghost” or “spirit.” But here the spirit is of the human mentality.
< Emergence 10 > The brain is simply a processor. The brain is an amazing processor and that's all it is. The brain is so good, it knows how to take a wide spectrum of energy and consciousness and reduce it down. The brain can take elevation and bring it into limitation. It's really good at that. So it's the processor, it sits on top of your head. The mind are the things that come as a result of that transformation into, what you would call, confined or lower consciousness. That's what the mind has and that's what the mind does.
< Emergence 10 > This thing right here (points to head) you identify with so much is not you. It is simply a processor that has the capability of taking broad bandwidth, a lot of spectrum, a lot of thought, and reducing it down, limiting it and then boxing it in. The brain is really good at that. The brain, your brain, holds no memories. There are no memories in your brain. None whatsoever. Your brain does not generate any energy whatsoever. None. It uses energy. It's not an energy source. Your brain has no intelligence whatsoever in it. It is simply a device. Your brain is simply a processor. Your mind is a little different. Your mind. Your mind is not your brain. Do not mistake it.
< Emergence 10 > The brain and the mind actually combine together – to create pain in your body. Pain is actually really not real. It's an impulse of the mind and the brain. But isn't it interesting that the brain and the mind were so deviously smart? The brain can't feel any pain. The brain – I could do brain surgery on you later and you're not going to feel any pain. There are no pain receptors in the brain. Isn't that fascinating? That should tell all of us a lot about the brain and the mind. Yet, it will deliver the sensation of pain some of you are feeling right now in your bodies. It's not real. It's not real.
