Well, here I am in school learning about development of the mind
and the instructor explains that dualism is too tough of a concept to
grasp, so the instruction will be based off of monism. That the brain
and consciousness are one and the same. I beg to differ. So here I go:
Existence vs. Existing
(my being, my body)
My body is aging, yet my awareness of conscious existence is
maturing in the reverse. I have the recognition where my body is
capable of existing separately from my consciousness.
Is it possible that I have found my "soul" ?
Is my "soul" caught in the middle between my being and my body?
or
Have I discovered my person is two in one? Is my body host to
my existence? Is my existence using a host?
I feel like I have lived many lives, but had different features.
When I expire, do I cease to exist? The expiration of my life
frightens me. Am I the host or the being? If I am both being and
host (meld), does that mean I have a split personality, separate
entities living together as one?
An awakening of perspective that I might be two entities
simultaneously existing, gives me a new outlook on my reality.
Is my mental health treatment trying to keep "us" a synonymous
entity? Is that why I have lost most of my freedom? Is treatment for
my host side or my being side or both?
Again' my being, my body? Host or being or meld? What am I?
