we so often identify our minds with ourselves, and look on the body as something external to the self that is in opposition to it

but my body is me as much as my mind is. i am both, a single continuous entity of two distinct natures, the emergent property of the mind interacting with the body and vice versa

hunger, lust, fatigue are as much mine as temperance, caution, yearning and so on

i am not my body. i am not my mind. i am both in concert.
