The mind is a tool, just like the hand. The hand isn’t you; the mind isn’t you. But you can control both of them.
I have a dumb joke that I used to subject friends to. I would say, “Watch me levitate that glass of water, using only my mind … through my hand.” And I would raise the glass of water with my hand. At best, it got a sympathetic smile, and I dropped it from my repertoire of bad table jokes, along with my “I am full of helium”…
