What is mind? Is there any evidence for the notion that mind is separate from and not dependent on the brain? Why or why not?

The mind is the brain. The view that the mind is seperate from the brain (like the view of a soul) is unnecessary and therefore useless. With a few cuts and electric jolts, the 'mind' can be destroyed, multiplied, improved, or reduced.

The mind is a process executed by the brain.

The mind may be regarded as the web of interconnected neurons that operates the processes of integrating sensory data with memory.

What is a schizophrenic? Is it not a collection of multiple minds within the same brain?

A schizophrenic has a flaw in their wiring. That, if anything, destroys the concept of mind. I can give you bi-polar disorder for instance.

There are many theories about mind, but no one really knows what it is or its cause. Regarding it as nothing more than an interconnected web of neurons, however, is like explaining a driver in terms of the mechanics of the car he’s driving. There is a continual flow of information between driver and car, but the one is not the other in spite of their interdependence.

I have described mind as the inevitable technique used by the ONE to unify the ever-widening divergence of the universe manifestations, which is the result of its act of its self-differentiation. Using the brain like a radio receiver, mind in man exists in a highly condensed form — as a field of influence within a field of influence. (This is alluded to in Christian theology so it is not completely off the wall.) From our highly material point of view, there’s no telling how many layers and variations of mind there really are.

All what I’ve said here may or may not be, but I think it illustrates why I think it is vain and absurd to think we understand all the workings of mind.
