Episode Description

If the mind is our thoughts, then what is it that observes those thoughts? 

What are we without thoughts? 

Do we ever truly see an object, or only its mental reconstruction? 

Though we are all convinced that we have one, science has no agreed definition for consciousness or mind. Even subjectively, the mind is elusive, difficult to pin to any specific mental experience.
