But the experience of time (and of all else) requires the mind, does it not? Our body would just be existent without a mind to perceive it. The memory process is based on the mind. Sensory perception by means of eyes, ears, nose, etc. can only be interpreted by the mind: cognitive perception. Without the cognitive process of attention, we may perceive someone we know walking by on a sensory level but not realize we know them because we are focusing on something else or merely daydreaming. Our mind drives our conscious experience of life, our own, as well as the existence of and interaction we have with others, including even G-d. Without a conscious mind, we are not alive in a realistic sense.
