            Today,        two        sciences,           Quantum  physics  tells  us
            philosophy  of  mind  and                 that  the  world  is  made  up  of
            cognitive sciences, discuss the           an      invisible     field     of
            mind  and  mental  states.  In            consciousness  that  manifests
            both,  the  mind  is  a  complex          itself in various and unlimited
