Hat der Geist eine Form, eine Farbe, ist er jemals gefunden worden??

According Buddhism:
(Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes, )

"Some people think that the mind is the brain or some other part or function of the body, but this is incorrect.

If the mind is not the brain nor any other part of the body, what is it?
It is a formless continuum that functions to perceive and understand objects.

Because the mind is formless, or non-physical, by nature, it is not obstructed by physical objects.
Thus, it is impossible for our body to go to the moon without travelling in a spaceship, but our mind can reach the moon in an instant just by thinking about it.

Knowing and perceiving objects is the uncommon function of the mind.
Although we say, "I know such and such", in reality it is our mind that knows.
We know things only by using our mind.


The brain is a physical object that can be seen with the eyes and that can be photographed or operated on in surgery.
The mind, on the other hand, is not a physical object.
It cannot be seen with the eyes, nor can it be photographed or repaired by surgery.
The brain therefore is not the mind but simply part of the body."

Clearly, there is a relationship between the mind and the brain, but this should not lead us to infer that they are one and the same.
For example, there is a relationship between a driver and her car — when she brakes, the car stops, and so forth — but one would not infer from this relationship that they are the same entity.
When the car stops, she can get out!

Western science has observed that there is a relationship between brain activity and cognitive processes, but it is a false inference to then say that cognition is the brain or a byproduct of purely physical processes.
This has not been proved, and never will be, because the mind is a different entity from the body.

In Buddhist scriptures our body is compared to a guest house and our mind to a guest dwelling within it. When we die our mind leaves our body and goes to the next life, just like a guest leaving a guest house and going somewhere else."

Being a different entity from the body, the mind has its own causes that are not physical.
You can see how your present body exists within its own continuum, each moment of body giving rise to the next moment of body, your body of today coming from your body of yesterday, and so forth.
If you trace this back, eventually you come to the sperm and ovum of your parents as the substantial causes of your body.
The mind also exists in a continuum, each moment of mind giving rise to the next moment of mind, the mind you have today coming from yesterday’s mind, and so forth.

If you trace your mind back through your life, childhood, and birth, you once again come to the germ cells in your mother’s womb, but these cannot be the cause of consciousness because they are physical and the mind is nonphysical.
So where did your mental continuum come from?

It came from your previous life.
When you died in your last life, your mind left your previous physical form and entered what is known as the intermediate state, or bardo, in Tibetan.
From this dreamlike state, your mind entered the fertilized ovum in your mother’s womb and you were conceived.
Both a mental continuum and a physical continuum had to come together to create a new human being.

Similarly, when this present physical form dies, the mental continuum does not die with it.
It leaves like a bird leaving its nest, and is blown by the winds of your karma to your next incarnation.
