The mind is not limited to the brain. I'm talking about direct experience fostered by practice: actually observing how these things occur in real time, empiric observation, not intellectual abstractions.

I have no idea how you misunderstood "stress is actually physiological" as some kind of claim about dualism.

> The mind can be a contributing factor but it is absolutely not necessary. Injuries that you're entirely unconscious of can cause significant levels of stress which are measurable.
You're making a division between mind and body, stating that stress can occur without the mind.
No, I think this is meaningless. What you're refering to is the brain. Positing a subcoscious mind adds nothing to the explanatory model since everything this supposed entity does is already done by the brain and pretty well understood at that. Occam's razor. You're stuck in old Cartesian metaphysics (dualism and parallelism) which has been superceded by better scientific undetstandings for quite a while now.
