The immateriality of the mind

The immateriality of the mind suggests that our thoughts, feelings, and consciousness aren’t simply physical processes like brain cells firing—they have a non-physical aspect. While the brain’s neurons enable mental functions, many argue that the mind’s subjective experiences and awareness cannot be fully reduced to physical matter. This perspective sees the mind as an immaterial or non-physical entity that interacts with the brain, highlighting that consciousness involves more than just biology, and remains a profound mystery at the intersection of philosophy, science, and spirituality.
