I (my self) is not the same as my body. Yet we are the same. My body takes care of itself, does all the little things I can't be bothered with. Keeps my heart pumping, lungs breathing, etc. Tells me when it wants food, sleep, whatever.
Sometimes it's not my body that is talking to me, but just a part of it. Like when my bladder tells me it is full and wants to be emptied. I don't have to listen to it, but it is telling me what it wants. And if I don't take care of it, eventually it will take care of itself. But my body is good, and lets me delay things so that I can take care of them as I see fit.
Not to say my body talks to me in words, it doesn't. But it does communicate all the same, in it's own simple way. Like right now my knee is telling me it doesn't like how it's resting. I can ignore it, it's not a real problem, but eventually I should move my leg to make my knee happy.
Online here there is no body, just me (my mind). Although I use my body to type this out, it isn't really here. Yet if any of us met in real life the difference would likely be insignificant.
So it's a partnership. My body does what it does, and by keeping it happy I can do what I want too. I'm not really crazy

I guess I don't think deep thoughts like that (I heard somewhere that eventually your mind turns into the minds of those you teach...so eventually I'll be a first grader! Ack!). Interesting.
