wow -> so many interesting responses and comments!

first off, i do apologize for any confusion or upset or anything else that this has caused! it was not my intention at all. i just thought it was a thought-provoking idea.... (one maybe some hadn't considered before)

2nd... i guess in the basic sense, it is physical and mental.

this 'question' or idea had been on my mind for a while now, and was pondering it. for me, it kinda came from a physical injury to my brain. and along with that, came the limitations (so to speak) on what it could do and handle.
so i was encountering days where no matter what my mind 'wanted' to do, the brain was like 'nope, we're done now'! i'm sorry if that sounds confusing -> not sure how else to word things...

The PHYSICAL brain can have chemical imbalances, tumors, anurisms, etc. that can have an influence on the way our thoughts & actions function...but we still can override the physical with our thought processes (most of the time)

good interpretation here! probably more insight than i had

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
