I have a hard time conceiving the mind as freely functioning from the body. So much of my rationale, intellect, morals, ethics, beliefs, fears, instincts, preferences are based on the way my mind digests my physical senses. I believe that the body and mind are co-dependent on one another so that if one were segregated from the other we would not qualify as the creatures we question ourselves to be. I believe that in order to exist you must be aware that there is something outside of you (other than yourself) which is ultimately what makes you aware initially.
