What is the speed of the mind or the speed of a thought?

The speed of thought is the distance which the electrons in the brain can take ina sample of time. As the speed of electrons/electricity is variable, I don't know. But as the brain is organic, the spee dmust be near to the speed of electricity to the body. Definatelly the speed is not superluminal. But there are some processes that are lightspeed, one of them is described by Roger penrose's and Stuart Hameroff's theory of quantum conscioussness, in which the process by which our minds decide an existence out of all the possible outcomes (~infinite) of existences.

[AntonioLao]

The speed of thought into the past is instantaneous, into the future is nil.

At our Core we are already there,going within is the only real direction of course
like our minds which are capable of infinite expansion,we seem to locate on the
surface,much like being on an onion,when you are on the surface of it,you do not realise howmany layers there are between the surface and the core.has
thought got a speed,I would say no,that all minds are inter-linked,inter-connected,and inter-twined with all,this has been apparent to many through the
ages,with the internet the process is gaining momentum,Toequest is contributing
to this process as I type!We are totally immersed in mind,superluminally,and
factually. Going hand in hand so to speak,with the superluminal mind and a
process that I would call Naturalness,is that the mind seems to want Sponaneity
if you listen it seems to be saying,use your In-tuition over your itellect to gain
understanding,be Sponaneous,trust in yourself and just be,we would then,
become more natural,and Fluid-like,this is the next jump in consciousness.
Spontaneity and in harmony with the superluminal mind.

are we assuming that the mind and the brain are one?

No.mind is the nomenon,and always is,the brain is the phenomenon
that withers and dies.

so where do the the process of thoughts occur in the noumenon mind or the the prenomenon brain? if it is in the mind the concept of speed does not really apply in my opinion. if thoughts take place in the brain well than those could possibly be measured. if i had to take a guess assuming thoughts take place in the brain I would say close to the speed of light as long as it take for nerve impulses to fire between synapses.

The speed of thought into the past is instantaneous, into the future is nil.

Thoughts are instantanous if and only if thoughts don't move through a distance, thus, they don't move. Thus, they don't have speed, not even instantanous.

I have continiouslly tried to develop a theory of the the brain-mind duality without allowing any case in which it is derived that the mind is reduced to the brain, but it is absolutelly impossible. The mind is the set of all ideas (objects) and thoughts (processe) of the brain. The mind is educed to the brain, definatelly.

This definition of mind is actually more like one of spirit or soul. But, if it's true that the same mind (here, the definition of mind is the collection of all thoughts and ideas) incarnating, then it would definatelly remember previous lives, and would have all the thoughts and ideas of it's previous minds. Anyway, the mind cannot exist witohut a brain.
