The Mind-body problem (n.) may ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be an artefact of how intellect works rather than of how things are: the split is a cut we make in order to understand.

Mind-body problem (n.) are ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠two sides of one coin — an unknowable living being seen outwardly as matter and inwardly as images — and their separation may be merely a device of reason to which we illegitimately grant independent existence.

The Mind-body problem (n.) may ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be eased by synchronicity: if chemistry cannot produce psyche and an immaterial psyche cannot move matter, their co-ordination may be a causeless, meaningful orderedness.

The Mind-body problem (n.) need ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not end in psychophysical parallelism if living matter has a psychic aspect and the psyche a physical one: materialism and spiritualism alike are metaphysical prejudices, and reality may rest on one unknown substrate, the unus mundus.

Mind-body problem (n.) are ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠probably one thing that our lamentable minds cannot think as one, as light is both wave and particle: we must admit it without being able to conceive it.
