I think the mind is a product of the brain, so essentially equal, but like Adrian pointed out, there's much we do that our mind is not aware of. I think in general the mind is the brain experience itself.

I definitely do not believe in dualism or souls. However despite that fact, I still enjoy using a metaphorical use of the world soul.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
