The mind can only influence my body that is seen, but only the spirit can influence both the seen and the unseen.
Notice the spirit influences both seen and unseen but it takes substantial faith to dominate the seen body while I am seen. Otherwise I do not know. The again as in born again is a term can be problematical it seems to me.
Our mind and our spirit
Confusion can stumble in to the mix with the word "again" because the spirit is, I think, born additionally when the body is born and is not connected to the heart as such. So if one is born again that means the spirit is born within and the mind is born, as it is, of involuntary physical control of the physical body.
My mind tells my body what my body wants
So if the spirit is born with the body I guess you could say it is born again, but it seems to me the spirit is making its presence known for the first time. That would mean the word again lumps it in with the body, suggesting to my impression at least, that the spirit was born previously, as the word again suggests.
In all events, the mind influences the body while the spirit controls the body once it is born, either for the first time or again.
The mind con influence the body, not with its own power, but only as the spirit being in harmony with the Holy Spirit. I say harmony because there are many negating spirits with various amounts of power and control that can take over the mind along with the body easily.
