Your body has its own mind; in physical terms the cerebellum and the autonomic CNS, or the subconscious. In most creatures, especially simple life, that mind is the one making most of the decisions. In humans however we are very good at convincing ourselves that our conscious thoughts are our totality.
The reality is somewhere in-between. Experience is not subjective, what we think about our experience is subjective. This is observable given the fact humans converge on the same precise ideas across time and space, just as life converges on the same body layouts regardless of environment.
This is absolutely not a materialist view but it's also not as reductionist as what you're purporting. Unless there is a defect, every person's body reacts to pain the same way. If you react differently, you've just conditioned your conscious mind to suppress your autonomic responses.
If you conceive of a great innovation, that thing has been created before by a lifeform that is essentially human. You've just convinced yourself through complex society, belief system and chronology that this is the first time man has made the achievement.
Hence why Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavat gita.
