Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[FallentoReason]

P1: it is possible (meaning conceivably possible) for the mind to act independently of the brain.

I'm still not fully read up on modal logic, so please forgive me if I make a silly statement... but isn't this begging the question? So the big question is if the mind(/conscience/soul?) is separate from the physical body i.e. brain. But then without even knowing if the mind exists as a separate entity, it seems like this argument is valid only because of semantics i.e. the mind is *really* the brain, but because of the different label and the question-begging of such a thing even existing, it seems like we have the "mind" possibly being separate to the brain.

I'm going out on a limb here... but I just had this crazy thought:

1) The brain needs chemical energy to function
2) The mind is not the brain
3) Therefore, the mind does not need chemical energy to function
4) The mind commands our physical body to move
5) Our physical bodies require chemical energy to move
6) Therefore, energy is being *created* whenever the mind commands the body to move
C) Energy can be created by the mind
