You don't have an explanation for how the mind and brain are connected so you conscript Newton's third law of motion and apply it to a yin/yang spiritual context in an attempt to give your still unsubstantiated position some legitimacy by using 'sciency' language.

This reasoning has disastrous consequences for your position. We diagnose dementia through changes in behavior and cognitive ability; attributes typically associated with mind. It is only after, either through autopsy or imaging, that we observe a damaged brain. A reasonable conclusion is that the mind is of the brain. Your only out here is to argue that the mind is undamaged by the brain damage, but its ability to control bodily functions is hampered because of the brain damage. You cannot demonstrate this or give a plausible explanation because you have yet to explain the brain/mind interconnection.
