	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Mind
		Mind refers to the collective aspects of intellect and consciousness which are manifest in some combination of thought, perception, emotion, will and imagination.
		Pre-scientific theories, which were rooted in theology, concentrated on the relationship between the mind and the soul, the supposed supernatural or divine essence of the human person.
		Although Freud did not deny that the mind was a function of the brain, he held the mind has, as it were, a mind of its own, of which we are not conscious, which we cannot control, and which can be accessed only though psychoanalysis (particularly the interpretation of dreams).

	mind
		The brain may decay, disintegrate, and be forever annihilated, but the mind (or soul) does not depend on the body for its existence and so may continue to flourish in another world.
		Behaviorists consider 'mind' to be a catchall term for a set of behaviors.
		Yet, despite the fact that the key to understanding the human mind is likely to be found in the study of the functioning human brain, many philosophers and psychologists continue to be guided by the belief that the mind can be adequately understood independently of the brain.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Green, Celtic Myths
		A useful definition involves the perception of a myth as a symbolic story, similar to a parable, a means by which human imagination can express a concept whose meaning is too complex and profound to be conveyed by simple verbal messages.
		In this way myths can deal with fundamental issues such as who we are, why we exist, what happens when we die: universal concerns which are unanswerable in terms of the rational explanations born of human experience.
		The main difficulty in reaching Celtic myth and religion is that the pagan Celts were virtually non-literate and therefore did not describe their beliefs and their attitudes to the supernatural world in writing.

	mind control, brainwashing
		Mind control is the successful control of the thoughts and actions of another without his or her consent.
		She is where she is through bad luck and a series of bad choices, not because of mind control, assuming, of course, that the woman is not mentally ill. In that case, it is Nature, not her man, that has reduced her capacity for free choice.
		You and I might think that a person is out of his mind for joining Scientology, Jehova's Witnesses, or Jim Roberts' The Brethren, but their "crazy beliefs and behaviors" are no wilder than the ones that millions of mainstream religious believers have chosen to accept and engage in.

	Amazon.com: Mind Myths: Exploring Popular Assumptions About the Mind and Brain: Books: Sergio Della Sala (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Currently there is a gap between what scientists know aboutthe mind and brain and the assumptions that others draw from sources of everyday information such as newspapers, popular press and television.
		Mind Myths attempts to close this gap by bringing together top international neuroscientists and psychologists to provide a fascinating and scientifically reliable insight into the neuropsychological and cognitive phenomena that are frequently reported in the media.
		"Mind Myths...includes the remarkably persistent fallacy that we only ever use 100f our brains, the assumption that our right brains function as artistic hippies and our left as desiccated accountants...the book is written in a lively style and will, I hope, be read widely by science journalists, and others who help perpetuate the various myths...

	Who We Are: Our Mission, Our History, and Our Beliefs
		The degree to which a former cult member claims he or she was the victim of mind control is dependent on the degree of exposure to anti-cult ideology.
		The media, for their part, do not mind this symbiotic sensation-seeking relationship with the anti-cult faction, as it's good for their ratings as well, and the new religions are frequently not powerful or popular enough to fight back effectively.
		The "mind control" myth is the basis of many legislative efforts around the world, to curb, control, and limit the free practice of religion.

	Mind myths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Some philosophers consider that "brain" is synonymous with "mind", while others (such as strong AI theorists) believe that the mind is analogous to software and the brain to hardware.
		However, Descartes thought that although this explanation was adequate to explain the brain functions of animals, the higher mental functions of humans were accomplished by the soul.
		This theoretical separation of the mind and brain became known as the mind-body problem (Bear, 2001).

	Mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this view the emotions - love, hate, fear, joy - are more "primitive" or subjective in nature and should be seen as different in nature or origin to the mind.
		These studies offer the hope of discovering the "scientific" essence of mind phenomena and of suggesting novel methods for improving the quality of human life at all ages.
		These observations add credibility to the importance of the nurture side of the “nature versus nurture” debate and thus emphasize the importance of mental exercises that heed the “use it or lose it” paradigm.

	A Glass of Wine :: Alcohol and the Mind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In 2004, surprising research started to come out about alcohol's ability to "sharpen the mind." Research published by academics at University College London found that those who even drink only one glass of wine a week have significantly sharper thought processes than those who do not.
		However, the researchers were unable to test the effect of higher levels of alcohol consumption, saying that drunkenness probably negates any positive effects on the brain.
		The overall effect of alcohol on the mind and behavior is an important fact that should be considered in an individual's decision to drink.

	spirit
		By Barry Bittman, MD It’s not surprising that the sticky questions people avoid asking concerning mind-body medicine most often relate to how spirituality is integrated into its practice.
		Without fully understanding the underlying basis for including spirituality in medicine, many erroneous assumptions surface that tend to distance people from the care that may very well be exactly what they are searching for.
		What does typically occur, however, is gentle encouragement to follow each person’s spiritual path¾ to build upon the power of one’s beliefs to aid in the healing process.

	Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - Creativity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If machines cannot be creative, then they cannot have "minds of their own", in the sense of being able to generate their own ideas, and it is difficult to see how a system that cannot generate its own ideas can be intelligent.
		We can 'give someone a good mind' and (as we say) 'give them a mind of their own'.
		Haugeland (1985: 10) asks, "Why should an entity's potential for inventiveness be determined by its ancestry (like some hereditary title) and not by its own manifest competence?" If we discovered that we were created, it would not follow that we cannot be creative.
