Well, to me its the ego, for lack of a better word, that we are either conscious of or unconscious of. I don't feel the ego is at all present in the moment but can certainly try convince me otherwise.  I'm very down with trying to stay conscious of mine even when I am aware that my "little guy" is shooting off at the mouth. I can't say I have great control over it, but I am increasing my awareness each day and that's about the best I can hope for.

Is the spirit horny? A rhetorical question I'm guessing you didn't see.. er.. coming. To me that's about the body, and one example of how the body computer "chatter" mingle with spirit "chatter". The spirit is eternal, whilst the body is not, and is sort of an indicator of whom has a lot to lose, and is fearful about it. Anyway, I figure it's about finding a balance with the ego as with many other stuff. And at the end of the day I think it's best for an individual to cater for his/her own path than expect others to do the hard work.

Self control, one of the few useful tools amongst the rubble in the control box. 

Beau,

"Yes, it is a good question and I'm glad its rhetorical because I don't have a solid answer on that."

Haven't got it all neither but think it's a good point. That'd be an interesting topic for anyone going to a psychiatrist: the schizophrenic relationship between spirit and body, and which thoughts are body- and which are spirit consciousness. Hehe. Maybe not. Could perhaps prolong the sessions into more coins for the one helping some body back into tolerating the earth system.

Not long ago a couple of dudes got into a quarrel. That is, one very passive and the other smacking his face repeatedly so that the glasses flew off. I asked the smacker to hold the phone, and he told me to back off or he'd kick my ass. Went back and forth testing how angry he was, and I backed off. Then the smacker finished telling the passive one about the dangers of drugs, neglecting to mention his own behaviour and drunkenness. He turned and asked me to feel his muscles, and repeated how he definitely could kick my ass because he had worked out a lot. I told him I liked him better when he exercised his mind as a joke and eventually got into mindier stuff with him. Ego? Many times it seems more like body issues. More than our bodies indeed, but it's part of the experience captain obviously, it's what makes this experience possible.
