"Mind implies conscious awareness which involves brain power" Translation: Thinking is done in the brain. "Without brain you can have no awareness" Translation: Thinking is done in the brain. "Without awareness the brain has no consciousness." Translation: If the brain is not thinking it is not thinking. "Consciousness of the Universe is not the universe" Translation: thinking about the moon is not the moon. "Nor does the universe have meaning without consciousness" Translation: Dead people don't care. "If you take away the Universe there can be no consciousness." Translation: Everybody has to be somewhere.

<Similarly with your discussion on mind and brain. Mind implies conscious awareness which involves brain power. Without brain you can have no awareness. Without awareness the brain has no consciousness.> But that's the point... does the 'brain have consciousness' or does it 'interpret' for our consciousness? <They both exist as inseparably as the wave and particle of an electron.> Agreed, but a change in many scientist current view that mind "emerges" from the material brain would be a huge change in the view of many things, including the topic at hand.
