The very knowledge and will that you displayed while typing that paragraph is nothing more than a culmination of developed and nurtured behavior that has been molded in what you call your "self."

The gift of concious thought is painful at best, it makes you want to explain, that which you are intimate with permantly (self). Only when you can remove yourself from a situation, can you accurately and objectively evaluate it. Thus, it is so difficult to explain your concious thought. So we have given it names like soul and spirit.. ..but we just wana sugar-coat it and make it special.

With one leg on the soapbox attempting to not stand up... ...don't you just love the way that we as humans enjoy the idea of cooking up great wordy and quite impossible explanations to the very RAW nature of our being? Soul, Bah!

...and I digress.
