Perhapse the "one and the same" statement was misplaced. I don't mean mind = body. I meant, the mind is a part of the body.

Haha, no I did not mean such a degree of connectivity, you are thinking too much physical here.
Anyway, I no longer believe that the mind is seperated from the body. Just like the waves are also not seperated from the ocean. We have been so much identified with our thoughts and ideas that we believe the proces of thinking/analysing to be seperated from our body. But let me remind you of the enormous tasks the mind, perhapse unconscious, handles, which are directly related to the body. Like breathing, or our heartbeat, or digestion. Furthermore, where is our mind?? Where is it's location?? Most westeners believe it to be in their head. While in fact it is everywhere throughout our body, from our big toe to our shoulders. You could actually say that the mind is the higher aspect of the body.
