Wow. Great question. I see the mind as the consciousness and the unconscious, thought, emotion, analysis. It is the inner conversation we have with ourselves about everything. It is our curiosity and our quest for experience and knowledge. It is our personality and who we really are beyond the part of us that can be seen or touched. It is our brilliance.
