The mind is definitely stronger than the body. The mind is a very powerful thing, it controls your emotions, reactions, and it attracts negative or positive things to your life, depending on your attitude towards life, If you're a positive person, positive things are more than likely to happen to you.
According to Descartes, these realms are forever separate such that the mind and body cannot influence one another. The mind works according to the rules of the spiritual realm and the body operates according to the mechanical world of physics. The problem is that the mind and body obviously do work together. I have a thought and if itâs a good day, my body puts that thought into action. Descartes' solution was the equivalent of putting duct tape on a leaky faucet. He suggested that the pineal gland in the brain stem was a single point of communication between the mind and body.
