I think it's neither. I think your imagination lies within the relms of your mind, so if you imagine your mind, you're in-turn, imagining your imagination. Good question. That's my 2 cents on it for now... I will think about it more and maybe change my mind... or maybe my mind will change me?

if you are imagining your mind, you are imagining your mind. to me it really is as simple as that. but as sad panda delved into, it really does depend on one's definitions of who or what defines "you" and "mind". though i will add, mind is not the same as brain. Your "brain" is the large internal organ in your cranium. Thinkers of all kinds have tried for millenia to pin down what exactly "mind" is. "consciousness man!" ![]() edit- that first sentence could also read as: if you are imagining your mind, your brain is imagining your mind. or; if you are imagining your mind, your mind imagining your mind.

This discussion reminds me of Descartes' First Meditations. He proves a number of different truths using deductive logic after simplifying to as great an extent as possible the other variables that could call into question his conclusions. For instance, he uses a technique called "radical doubt" to question his own existence. In this particular discussion, he insists that it's impossible to know if we exist unless we can use deductive logic to come to such a conclusion. After determining that the physical world we observe is unimportant to his analysis of himself, he realizes that the simple fact that he has asked the question proves that he exists. You've probably heard the expression "Cogito ergo sum." Well, this is its source. "I think, therefore I am." In relation to the discussion you guys have been having, he assumes that there is no difference between the concept of "I" and the entity that thinks (not the physical mind, but the force that compels it). Later, he continues this line of reasoning in such a way that it allows him to prove that God exists. The spiritual portion of Sad Panda's post contains some of the same ideas as his explanation. Okay. Rambling as usual. I wish I could say that I'm high, but I haven't been able to find any for nearly a month now. It's a sad, sad world when you live in a big city like DC and know no one willing to hook you up. I hope someone found that interesting, at least.

Your brain is your mind. Don't believe all the hype.

| Re: A philisophical question
The way I see it is that our brain is the physical manifestation of our mind. Your mind is beyond your brain, your brain is merely an illusion of your mind in a physical plane. If you imagine your mind, then you are using your mind to imagine itself. Oh but wait, your mind is an intangible object. How can an intangible object imagine itself? When I try to, I visualize a bunch of planes and empty space, a peek into planes beyond this physical reality. This is where the mind resonates. However, you can use your mind to imagine your brain, since the brain is a tangible object. This physical plane is the core of all the planes that have come into existence due to our minds.
