The body is the Mind?

So far the blog concerns mainly about the mind and its operation. In the realm of thoughts. But do all that come from the mind has to do with the limit of the body. It there really a separation of what is called mind and body? After all the brain is part of the body, all the thinking seems to be done by the brain, yet if the body is sick or in pain, can the brain continue to function? Or thinking differently? Before I talk about super human capabilities of the reinforced body, or trans humans, human imagination attempts for a long time to transcend the limits of the body. Now with the advancement of virtual reality, we can imagine having superhuman capabilities in the virtual world, in a way the body  is expanded and transfigured in the virtual world. Still the body is a gateway and threshold to the physical transformation of human and human thinking. If the body is changed the way of thinking is also affected. In ancient scriptures and texts, the body is a source of reference to many spiritual concepts : such as the twelf apostles of Jesus very much related to the 12 human bodily system and the astrological months.
