Your mind is your brain functioning in particular ways. And yes, facts are impermanent. Your mind is not your conscious awareness. This goes way beyond the ego mind. The brain functions the motor responses in our "physical" body and caches the experiences and memories within that physical experience. But what are these experiences and memories? When you don't think of something or someone, does it or do they even exist? Yes, facts and knowledge provide us with the ego ability to achieve and move forward, but this is all just an impermanent transition phase. You are forever, our bodies and memories aren't. "Your mind is not your conscious awareness." Yes it is. There's no good reason to believe otherwise. "Ego mind" is just garbage Freudianism. The brain does things that aren't mental, sure. When you don't think of something or someone, it doesn't exist as a thought. |
