Is there any sensation of pain remaining in this state?

[Quindary]

I was talking about this not too long ago in a different place, and came up with the following:

Consciousness is the living state that allows perception. Mind and soul are two basic supporting components of that entity - mind is the component that operates, deliberates and moves, and soul is the component related to being, that "simply" exists and holds your past, identity etc.

Within this framework, then --

Mind moves because thought requires motion. Consciousness can mediate and create the stillness needed for the mind to operate outside of sight, but thought itself cannot be stillness. Mind moves around what exists to understand it, define it, use it in constructs, form new conclusions from it, come up with new derivatives and pass them back to soul and consciousness...but mind itself is defined by operation.

As a side note, this is why I would not put this topic in Soul. It does not belong there.
