Is that the mind or the brain? It sounds like that's the brain, the mind is what we call the soul, and is the one that's conscious, it can also be called Jin because it presents and we can't see it and what makes us, the only way to find who you really are is when you can let go of your ego than you will be left with God-image which is His attributes, it's not by meditation or anything like that, it's just let the soul take the driving seat by saying NO to the ego or worldly desire.
Dear Friend, I just saw your comment. Thank you. Hazrat Inayat khan explain our being in 4 parts. Body, mind and soul. For him the mind has two part: surface and deep. Surface of mind is thoughts and emotional reactions. Deep of our mind is hearth. hearth means deep love(selfless love)harmony, beauty....such deep feelings. Hazrat Inayat khan calls this world Jin-Worls. In Quantum-philosophy it is the "field". Soul world is quite different than Jin-Worls. It is independet from body and mind. It is pour conciesnous. Soul has also two part: one is surface, the other is deep. The deep of soul is directly bounded to source, to Allah. That`s why Kuran says, soul is amr Allah. Ego belongs to the mind. It is part of mind. According to Hazrat Inayat khan, we can not destroy Ego, but we can make it transparent. That´s why the building of personality so important. It means make the ego finer and finer. That is the famous Makamat-theory in sufism. My warmest greetings
