Are spirit and mind one in the same? If not what's the difference?

What did Hegel mean by "geist"?
Are there any good critical works that deal with this topic?

My STEM friends roll their eyes if I speak of a spirit being seperate from the brain, but if i ise the word 'mind' they understand what I'm getting at.

The mind is the fourth dimensional apparatus of our consciousness.

Spirit is breath.

At any given moment, the entirety of linear existence is occurring simultaneously, only not simultanesouly apprehended. Awareness as a divine selection process, there are different vechilces to narrow down the fullness of the cosmos. The individual human body organism construct is a very profitable way for consciousness to explore itself in detail. God does not live in detail, needs us for that. There are other vehicles for awareness to explore in detail, vehicles that don't "bump" into anything, are fluid in a sense. Geist might be that, the spiritual world has no newtonian physics on the level of force as non-poetic, as purely cause effect phenomenon

Idk wtf im saying mang

The mind is embodied spirit (soul). Spirit depends on context but I think you are referring to an individual soul??

Spirit depends on a historico-dialectic context to be specific

to contextualize a concept?

That's because they've been indoctrinated into the religion of mind. They've been taught to laugh at the ancients' "soul" and the Christian "spirit," but when it comes to the "Human Mind" they're all reverence and dread.

I'm not well acquainted with Hegel, but in German the word "geist" can mean "spirit," "mind," and "intellect" interchangeably. It can also mean "ghost."

Yes, they are the same thing.

>tfw aphantasia; can't create mental imagery at all
>tfw throughout entire life I've thought that dreams/imagination are metaphors or something
I'm in the middle of a yuge paradigm shift, and this is a key aspect of it.
First of all, define mind/spirit.
Where would one end and another begin in a physical/functionalist sense? How about thought or memory?
>>
>>9265357
Hegel seems to have a conception of geist being all of humanity and taking the role of god. I probably just need to read more its all foggy still.
>>
Consciousness?

I think and perceive the world around me therefore I am. My thoughts, caused by a huge network of neurotransmitters, create a perception of a world around me. These biological cells emit energy and cause awareness of self on a scale much larger than those cells individually as to perpetuate their own lives. I have consciousness. A spirit or mind or some other pseudo bullshit duality created to give the self a sense of importance is a load of horse shit.

You're basically admitting you have no soul

>be me, five years ago
>meet qt 8/10 with short hair and cute southern accent

>go out with her for two months
>think she might be the one
>browsing rings when I have free time
>summer comes along
>never met her family before
>decide to go on road trip to meet them
>plan to ask her dad for permission, because I'm told he's traditional
>when I get permission, I plan to pop question on the return trip when we stop at Niagara Falls
>meet her family
>her mom is 400 pounds, and her dad can barely breathe on his own
>they live in a pre-fab house in the middle of nowhere
>her brothers are pocked-marked retards who think burning garbage is proper entertainment
>never get any alone time with her dad
>driving back north
>at Niagara Falls
>appreciate the views and have a decent time
>break up with her on the way back home
>feel nothing
tl;dr Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit is bullshit

>>9265139
Geist is just human culture
