Define mind, and you'll find it.  Define feelings, and you'll study them.  Define existence, and you'll look through a telescope.

Basically, you're saying "Use philosophy, and we'll see if science can say anything useful about it."

The mind is nothing more than electrical impulses between neurons. Feelings the same thing set in a particular part of the brain. Existence is the state of being in an objective reality, but that can't be defined with science. It can be proven with science, though.
