the brain is the representative of our personal consciousness. it is our consciousness' self localization in this apparent physical world. the brain can interact on the mind much like a whirlpool interacts on water. you cannot say the whirlpool produces water just because it affects water much like you cannot say the brain produces consciousness because it affects mind. this is the mind brain interaction I conceive in my idealism.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
