DUALISM OR PHYSICALISM

I do agree that the mind (not the brain) is a non-physical event as we are not able to touch the event as it occurs. However, if non-physical things cannot interact with physical things then Descartes would be implying that it is not possible for the mind and body to interact this is where he lost me. Then I sought to see if I could apply myself to everything being one physical substance including our consciousness which makes us aware of the non-physical events that occur. But it is seen as physical even though we are not able to touch our consciousness. In the end I am left with a feeling of incompleteness regarding the nature of reality. Nevertheless, I choose the thoughts of Dualism as explained by Descartes even though it has its shortcomings. Mental events will always seem connected with the brain because most of it begins or occurs in the brain. How it interacts is just another mystery added to the list of wonders.
