You keep saying mind and brian are equal. They are not. mind (mnd) - 1. The human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination. 2. The collective conscious and unconscious processes in a sentient organism that direct and influence mental and physical behavior. 3. The principle of intelligence; the spirit of consciousness regarded as an aspect of reality. 4. The faculty of thinking, reasoning, and applying knowledge: Follow your mind, not your heart. 5. A person of great mental ability: the great minds of the century. 6. a. Individual consciousness, memory, or recollection: I'll bear the problem in mind. b. A person or group that embodies certain mental qualities: the medical mind; the public mind. c. The thought processes characteristic of a person or group; psychological makeup: the criminal mind. 7. Opinion or sentiment: He changed his mind when he heard all the facts. 8. Desire or inclination: She had a mind to spend her vacation in the desert. 9. Focus of thought; attention: I can't keep my mind on work. 10. A healthy mental state; sanity: losing one's mind. |

You know what? It's obvious you aren't paying attention. Several of the questions you asked clearly show that. Because of that, I really have no desire having to go cut and paste snippets from several posts to satisfy your inability to scavenger hunt and difficulty in reading comprehension. I'm not your errand boy.

1. I didn't say it once. 2. Hence, I couldn't "keep saying" it. They are inextricably linked, are they not? Did I say they were the same? Show me the link where I said they were the same. I honestly wonder if you guys actually read what I say or you merely see my avatar and then fabricate something based on your caricature of me. |

Some believe what is said by the brethern in conference addresses are the same as commandment. I can't remember what either your or Tex's position is on the matter.
I do know that there are some people though who do believe that counsel given in conference should be taken as commandment. |

Do I try to apply counsel given in GC in my life as much as I can, given it's applicability? Sure. Am I going to lose sleep over it like I would about paying tithing or not? No way.

In what sense? DO you mean from a religious point of view (spirit/mind in the vessel/brain)? Or do you mean from some sort of empirical point of view? Isn't the notion of a mind apart from the physiological existence of our brain a religious construct?
