If you don't believe that the brain is made of matter you can go to an anatomy class and see if you can find
anything there other than matter.
The mind is not there anymore.
Is the mind dead?
If it is dead where is it?
Scientists think and guess but so far no solid evidence has emerged.
The vehicle carrying the mind (body, brain) is dead.
Shell we say that also the mind is dead?
From the experience that we have in the physical world we know that when the vehicle die the driver pop up in a new
vehicle.
We never ever seen that the driver die when the vehicle die.
Have you Cat?
Maybe you have seen a driver that die when his vehicle die because he was so attached to his vehicle.
Let us know about your experiences so we will have to rewrite history.

Quote:How are the mind and brain connected?
It is like when you enter your car.
You and your car are connected.
According to yoga the consciousness enter the body-brain that suit most in order to
progress towards the goal of life.
Until there is life in that body the consciousness is connected to it.

Every action will have to experience an equal and opposite reaction so when YOU and not your brain produce an action that
will produce a reaction in the good or in the bad this will affect your body as well.
According to yoga the reaction may be experienced in this or in future lives.
If you eat a lot of saturated fat it is most likely that this will affect your body in this life.
Although physical science has so far being unable to find out the reasons behind dementia it is quite possible that the bad fat prevent the blood from flowing
to the brain in a normal way so the brain get weak and weak preventing in this way the mind from operating in a normal way.
Brain and consciousness are connected to each other that is why when the brain is weak also the mind is weak or the other way around.
To say that people with dementia have an intact brain doesn't make any sense.
The brain is not the mind and people with dementia have a damage brain so your question doesn't make any sense.

Interesting question Phil.
It is true that cells have informations and therefore some consciousness.
This however doesn't mean that the matter which compose the cell and the consciousness
are the same thing.
They are connected and live together so it seems that are one but they are not.
Would you say that the driver and the car are one?
As the cells are made of matter also the brain is made of matter but the mind is not made of matter.
Do you follow?
