Email conversation

September 6th, 2008

This entry is an email conversation I had with Marcelo, you best read it from the bottom up. Enjoy, Volker

You keep asking/teasing me with mind vs brain – I do not know know where it is. Would it not be above our head. Where is yours?

I know from people reading it because it is different! Because we just write :-)

Am I? That’s good….
Try to point me at where is your mind? I am not talking about brain, I’m saying “mind”…

This is a mere name, mere imputation to cognise something.
Describe mind, soul, “heart”, energy to me?

I love to play with you! Things are not established, they are impermanent,
even the concepts of everything.

You inspire me.

Shall we post those emails on our blog?

You baffle me!

There is no mind from its own side? What do you mean?

Volker, I am afraid to say to you that I cannot have my life in my hands,
either control it by mind, just because there is no hands and there is
nothing outside of your mind (remember that), how surprise would you be
if I said: there is no mind from its own side.

Is that all crazy, isn’t it?

Hello Marcelo,

Good to hear from you. I had a brief look at the blog, will respond tomorrow.

Your whole life is in your hands but controlled by your mind? Would that suit it?

I reply asap.

Trust you are well,

Volker, I think is better to say that my whole life is in my mind other then in my hands.

What do you think?
