Society has a deep-set bias against the mind as an entity, for obvious reasons such its intangibility & its dependence on non-stop dynamic action. 

A: The body is solid, tangible, capable of being imaged, even dissected into its component structures which can be examined in increasing detail. In contrast, the mind is an entity of pure process & zero state. It seems so nebulous but without the mind, nothing is really real to us. It is our window on what we believe to be reality or at least on one reality out of many.
