   Stop there. Laws don't need to be outside the mind. Laws in mathematics   
   or logic for example don't require more than a mind.   
      
   Also, all senses are processed by the unconscious mind. So senses are   
   mind too.   
      
   Here's an interesting thing which I read, apparently most of the   
   information which flows between the eyes and the brain is from the brain   
   to the eyes, and not the other way around. This is because the brain   
   tells the eyes what to expect mostly, and the eyes tell the brain if   
   something different happened. This is the way digital TV works too, as   
   it is more efficient than transmitting the same things over and over   
   when they haven't changed.   
      
   When was the last time you saw the blind spot in your eye? Your senses   
   are deceiving you.
