The concepts I referred to in the context of mind
have been observed. That is, they are written in my
post, and in the posts of others, so they exist. A
question about the nature of mind itself is a separate
discussion. As far as such concepts are concerned,
the mind, in the narrowest sense, refers simply
to that which produces and uses them.

As far as your reference is concerned, however, I
think it would not be surprising if a non-physical substance
was not observable by physical means, would it?
