Brain versus Mind - do you make a distinction?
To me, my brain is what I use to do my accounts, or write out a list of things to do and to prioritize that list. I also use my brain for some routine conversations especially ordinary low-stakes business and even some so-called 'thinking on your feet' which implies creativity but is often merely summoning up well rehearsed phrases and techniques that fit the apprently quick-fire situation you're dealing with.
Obviously from what I've just said, I view my mind as my creative resource and also as what provides my drive and ambition as well as controlling or giving rein to my feelings and emotions.
You may think that 'controlling feelings' is a brain function but in my little world at least, it is mainly the job of my mind for complex reasons which I can't really explain - but I'm working on it.
I also think that inside my head there are other 'mechanisms' for which I have no real words but are in the faith/belief realms.
Does anyone have similar (or opposite) views?
