A meeting of the MINDS

I am convinced that Von Neumann, the dude who suggested the architecture for the Computer has unknowingly cracked the way the human brain works and we will find out one day.
Research continues to investigate whether there exists something called the mind, separate from the brain (Classical paper discussing Yorrick and Dennis .... must read ) 
So lets go ahead with some geek talk. The computer architecture involves, CPU (Central processing Unit), with Random Access Memory, ROM (read only memory) and secondary storage (disks) I am convinced that the CPU that makes all the decisions is analogous to our mind, sometimes more in tune with our body than the brain (who we are) .  the brain is the assortation of all sorts of permanent storage with many a corrupt file which however can be restored by a random event that triggers the search.
For example, when you really really like a girl, and u're hung up on her, and she says something mean to you. Part of you hates her, and part of you loves her. The mind records the harsh words and generates hate, the brain who you are and cannot trick knows you love her . torn between mind and brain ......   Dreams seem to be this weird phenomenon seen by people when their bodies power down and there is communication between the mind and brain (some sort of backing maybe), resulting in pictures (audio n video)  in their sleep,  reflecting a confused mix of reality or the  present (stored in mind), and everything else (in the brain) ... have much more to say but am starting to crave a dream as i talk about it ... bandy2005 is shutting down.

So your argument about the mind and body , I shant comment on that because you know my view on that and the discussion has become rather baroque! Dreams beiing a conduit or a connector between the mind and body---hmmm, i couldnt resist i just had to say something about that. So since thinking and pondering over cognitive issues is one of your fetishes, Im sure ure aware that the brain ia all about electricity, so one of the most imporatant primitives you have to consider when talkign about brain stuff is circuits. So the connection between the brain and the mind that you talk of is not only created during dreams , its alwys there, the circuit is always there but its presence is rather tacit! Dreams make the connection a conscious event and somehow only certain circiuts crank up!
