Mind Sandwich

An ice block in a brook on a warm summer day.
 
Think of its bottom and top surfaces. One is in water, the other is in air.
 
Compare it with one's mind - think of range, stability, movement, changing state or vibratory levels. (Ignore evanescence, solidity, physics of ice.)

Ponder:

What is at either end of the mind?

At one end, it's obvious - the body. But at the other?

Is there another end? Or does the mind just become subtler and subtler?
