That's like asking, can you show me an immaterial soul? Yes, there are arguments to be made in favour of the existence of such things, but given all we've learnt about things like biology, computation and the brain, we can hardly just assume that such things literally exist, and there's many reasons to think they don't.

Precisely my point. Saying "the mind is material" is like saying "the soul is ether"
