Unlike a computer we are sentient beings and are able to know what is self and not self. I have often felt that the computer is much like how we store data, it's humans that made computers anyway. My brain is incased in a thick skull which does not see, taste, hear, feel, or touch.

I used to freak myself out by contemplating I see the world through darkness, everything sound, light, feeling, taste, smells are just vibrations translated by the brain which is a sense organ too. Buddhist text have several words for mind and their meaning is based on how they are used with other words in the sentence. It gets complicated...It's easier to meditate and see how naked sensation is translated into thoughts and actions rather than try and talk about it...hahaha

When I talk about mind in relation to the article, next time I will try and give the Pali word and link about it's origins and definitions.

Words are so small :p
