I also disagree that all is mental satisfaction, because I see the whole complex totality as a tool, including the mind, so there is nothing to satisfy in the mind because the mind has no attachment in its natural state. In my experience the mind is fundamentally empty, clear, like space.
Also, I am aware of a heart-based consciousness that does not include mind, which also adds to my thoughts.
I see the mind as a tool of consciousness. But what is the 'mind' are brains as far as I am aware are receivers so what is the 'mind'. Does it receive thoughts or create them?
Edit:
Tool could be replaced with sense perhaps?
