    Sorry...the brain isn't controlling your body; brain is like a switchboard of a calling centre. He who controls the whole system is the operator, pushing buttons all over and linking lines.

    The whole job is done by the mind, and all thoughts are stored and gotten out by the mind. Brain is a via centre for spreading electric impulses through the neurones into the body. What makes the procedu

    re of thinking is the mind. Period.

    The mind and body form a system that creates the person as a Whole.

    THEY ARE NOT SEPARATE.

    The 'Brain' is like the most expensive computer system you could ever buy.. all of the info put into that system, is through the body, Sight, Smell, Auditory, Touch, Taste.. As a whole, 'that' persons experiences in life will determine which values are stronger.

    I think your brain controls your thoughts...

    Your thoughts take place in your brain so your brain controls your thoughts. Sometimes it feels like your thoughts control your brain, it feels like your brain is numb and your thoughts are possessing it. However, your thoughts do possess the brain, they take place, live and demand your attention.

    Then the question "Who are we?" comes in. Are we the brain? These questions make you think and think. I'm still not sure.

    Thanks for reading:)

    thoughts control our brain...

    thoughts come from,situations,emotions...

    all that is in our soul

    i would say the soul controls the whole body...(and the brain is just the main function)

    haven't u noticed that ppl in bad mental condition usually have also bad health condition...
