Your question intrigues me. I am both. I've been both. Brilliantly minded and disabled and fully functional. I know what it's like on both sides of the spectrum and I must say "a fully functional body" any day over a brilliant mind.
Thanks GoGo. You're question was almost as good as the thought that comes to mind when I say your name.
Edit: a stupid mind comes with the disabled person I once was (I couldn't relay my messages to anyone).

Stephen Hawking's Public Lecture on "Life in the Universe"
Imagine that one forgets he is "joe blow" and thinks he is his computer..
Well you don't have to imagine that... cause you already forgot WHAT you are and think you are "Joe Blow"... that's what happened , most people. 99.9% have given all their awareness to the mnd.. now by default they think they are their minds..
Hard to imagine... actually, can't be imagined.. until one gets a glimpse... only way to get a glimpse is coming close to what the mind calls death...
The pathway to awarenss is through the body... STILLNESS ... STAY still.. DO not react... let yourself die... you don't really die.. but your mind doesn't know that, so it won't dare let you stay still.. and aware.. don't believe.. you don't have to, you can try it..
AND if youexperience stillness... you to can laugh at hawking when you see the sadness of being trapped in ones mind..
i love you

So if 'you' isn't your mind and your body, then what is 'you'? Surely you're talking about one's soul? Because the existence of the soul is debatable, and i'm always willing to debate it.

But, just try, and forget all you've forgotten, for the last time we were speaking of an occurance, as relevant as the one we are speaking of, then we might not be able to lose sight of the trap, and keep it all, you know, within us.
I hope that answers your question.
I love you too, homeboy

Stephen Hawking's Public Lecture on "Life in the Universe"
the soul is also a creation of the mind... the mind creates all..
except for, what IS... what is NOW.. stop thinking.. what you have left is what I am talking about... or rather pointing at.. 'cause it can not BE talked about
using absolute STILLNESS...with ZERO reaction...
Awareness is re-directed into the body... this will open up a gap of space in the mind so that one can experience.. the NOW.. to reside in the NOW... form there it is unspeakable..
there is no debate.. cause that is MIND also.. there is only NOW
i love the GHOST

The Brain (or Mind, as you call it) is such an amazing thing.
If you get a hit, 3 out of every ten times you're at bat (in Baseball) then you're deemed a star (which is about as low as a success rate, you're gonna find, and still have it acceptable).
I know I'm gonna be refuted on this, but we use less than 1 out of 10 times our Brain capacity. 6-7 %. I may be proven wrong, but that is what I think, and the highest I've seen is 13%.
Holy Crap, need I say more? Anyone should know what I'm gonna say next, so in my drunk state, I wish not to type anymore, I need to smoke another bowl, please forgive me, I will come back, here, to this place, In a short while, but it's not like you're gonna really want to care, because I don't know the topic anymore. I'm just looking for an ending to my post.

Wow. I wish I was high.
I agree with your first statement, but would you not agree that the mind does indeed create everything? How we percieve the universe around us is only what our minds interpret. When you touch the sensation of touch is only a signal being sent to your brain. The same goes for when you see, or smell, or taste. Your brain the interprets these how it can.. but that doesn't mean that the way we percieve the universe is the way it really is.
I saw a documentary once that explained that the brain can only process so many bits of visual information at one time. This number is signaficantly smaller than the number of bits of information our eyes can see at one time. So somewhere in the process there is alot of information being lost. So would it not be safe to say that, based on this, our minds create the universe around us, at least in our minds? That we interpret this information how we see fit (or how we are designed to, i'm not sure) but that how we interpret it is not precisely how it is?
I love the GHoST too.

EditEditEditEditEdit: I onced used %27 of my brain. By this I mean I was stoned, and tried to figure out how I ended up in the kitchen making some pasta at 2am. I know it was %27 because I counted using an abacus made of pasta. I called it the, uhh, pastacus? No, that sucks, but I can't think of anything better right now. True story.

NOW.... right NOW.... is what I am pointing at...
soul, god, reincarnation, allah, etc... all mind stuff.... it can play with itself and defend its stance FOREVER...
to take ones awareness away from the mind... the mind will flip out.. it will think it is going to die... and boy oh boy, it will through a FIT... but if you have NO fear, a gap will open... and WOW... you too can take a peak into eternity..
it is just stillness..
