It's funny. When I read such documents, I have to make a concerted effort to read words like "mental" with charity. Obviously, it has no crisp meaning. Yet everyone speaks as if it does ... kinda like reading science fiction or learning a foreign language.<br>

But there's evidence that when we imagine spinning, say, a ball around its axis, there's a lot of overlap with the neural structures that fire in our brain as when we're actually spinning a ball with our hand. That's body stuff. Even if my "imagining" seems entirely within the bounds of my skull, it's still body stuff. It's still tool-mediated, even if the mediation occurs longitudinally, through time/training. I just have no idea what you guys mean by "mental stuff".<br>
