It's close to 4:30 PM here in Costa Rica and it's raining like hell. So, I've been working on an essay to try and articulate my �no� and �yes� response. In Korea it's approaching 7:30 AM.

I'll post my essay tonight around midnight--3PM Sunday in Korea.

Then anyone interested can follow suit.

Thanks for respecting my quirky thread.

I'm hoping Rteacher will weigh in.

Man oh man did I ever open a can of worm for myself when I said I would post an essay explaining my answers in detail at midnight (my time).

It�s 11:30 PM here in Central America and I swear to you I've been writing for hours upon hours and I�m at over 2000 words.

This isn't easy. I need more time. I'm dizzy. I need sleep. My essay is a ramble right now that needs a lot of work. This is something I would usually spend a week or two on to complete.

But, I will finish as soon as I can. It's not like people are sitting on the edge of their chairs waiting for my post anyway.

Depending on how I hold up, It ill be a few more hours or in the morning.

Thanks for your patience and your responses.

My essential identity is the minute particle of conscioiusness commonly referred to as the individual soul (or jivatma.)

I accept the Vedic concept of transmigration of the soul so I've probably been associated with all kinds of animal bodies in previous births, but the material body is just a gross covering (and in some cases, really gross Razz

)

As far as thoughts are concerned, they are associated with the subtle covering of the soul - commonly referred to as the mind. The mind utilizes the physical brain to process thoughts related to accepting and rejecting things - usually on the basis of material sense gratification.

Since the mind transmigrates with the soul, we still may have many vestigial thoughts from our previous births stored in our subconscious.

The Supreme Being, simultaneously omnipresent and localized as the "Supersoul" (paramatma), monitors the thoughts and activities of all individual souls - and is the ultimate source of all knowledge, remembrance, and forgetfulness.
