Mind As a Myth Does the mind exist as a distinct entity apart from our thoughts about it? U. G. Krishnaumurti is a disquieting skeptic and author of Mind Is a Myth and The Mystique of Enlightenment. As "mind" is a myth, he says, so is the notion of "self." The human being is like a dog chewing a dry bone. When its gums bleed, the dog may believe the bone is rich with blood. Just so, we believe the mind is real.

The Mind-Body Problem Most brain researchers believe we will eventually explain the mind in terms of neurological functioning. According to Dr. Julian Isaacs, an applied psychologist, this materialist view is not consistent with experimental evidence. New developments in areas such as theoretical physics, he says, may eventually lead to an understanding of the common ground connecting mind and matter.
