What is mind over matter?

Question

someone said,the brain is not the mind,that the mind is somewhere outside the human body feeding information to the material mass known as the brain.Did this mind can help the human body to lift 500 lbs.? Whose doing the job,the body,the brain,or the mind?How does it works?

Answer 1

Firstly, dualism is not true. The brain is the mind, in effect. But other than this, it is you mind (or brain) pushing you past your body's typical or normal limits (be it strength or pain barriers) and any other limitations in the way (lack of dedication, uncertainty).

Answer 2

While the mind is often used in context as being the physical brain, it's quite different. True, the brain fires off all the signals it goes through to form a thought and process information, but thoughts originate in the heart (not the literal, beating organ) or mind. Here's how I see it. People are three-part beings: spirit, soul, and body. The spirit is that thing that makes a person alive, and when you're dead it leaves for its journey to Heaven or h**l. There's a little more to that, but that's not what you're asking so I'll stop there. The mind is the interestingly complex part of you that thinks, feels, hopes, dreams, imagines, and is creative. The body is the physical shell we live in. Mind over matter in essence is how you think, reason, and feel about a situation, despite the physical aspects of it. It's associated with psychic phenomenon, but I'm not into all that psychic stuff. There are motivational speakers who can convince people to walk on hot, live coals and they can't feel the pain. This is mind over matter. Those motivational speakers are glorified salesmen who can talk eskimos into buying freezers! It basically boils down to the power of thought, like the power of positive thinking can solve all your problems. Again, I disagree. It's a tool but not the total answer. That leads into my belief about God. To me, psychology is a tool, but God is key in it. Take from this what you will.

Answer 3

if you don't mind

it doesn't matter

i don't know what YOUR talking about

Answer 4

I'm not sure that the mind is outside the body but it's like a second brain. It won't help you lift 500 pounds but it can help you put off your hunger until you can eat and other things like that, stay warmer in cold places and such.

Answer 5

the mind does the job of course. the human mind is a computational system, it is capable of doing anything you want. just like a servant to his master.

u should try movin a cup u'll b surprised.
