unless i'm not totally grasping the idea of how Charon explained the idea
of mind and mind activity, i would have to say in response to John's
question, "can someone be out of their minds?"- yes. my understanding of
Charon is that during every waking moment we are engaged in some kind of
mind activity in which we are symbolically acting on our selves and covertly
determining ways in which we can act on our environment. therefore when
asked,"can someone be out of their minds," I would have to agree with the
thinking of Charon by stating,"only when sleeping." for it is this time
when we are no longer thinking or interacting with our selves.
