Hi’ I am the manufacturer
Welcome to You!
You see, you may think you know you
Lets take this questionnaire
Why do you desire sex?
Why do you desire marriage?
Why do you desire peace?
Not sure
You see, there are two parts to you
One which you can be aware of, the other secret
In psychological terms, one is subconscious
So, if something is subconscious how can you decide if you wish to do its wishes?
The answer, by becoming conscious of the subconscious motive.
So lets get to know the forces.
To begin, your body is not you – a dead or sleeping person is hardly you.
Your soul is the you in the body!
But as you are aware, you are conflicted (which is why you have conflicting desires, like dieting and eating chocolate.)
For there are fundamentally three souls competing on a subconscious level.
The one we are born into, is the animal soul, like all animals, its aims are simple, more pleasure and less pain.
There is uniquely, in a human, a pre-frontal lobe brain, which allows for objectivity, hence humans objectively can realize certain pleasures are bad for them, while other pains (going to the dentist) good.
Now the brain has a innate ability to override the instincts but only if you are conscious.
When you act without thinking (for example, all young children) you have no rational ability, hence no ability to change behavior.
As you well know, self-discipline is the hardest challenge God gave man.
But to make matters far more complicated our instincts (animal soul) is not us, nor even is our rational (which is only a smarter instinct) rather our Divine soul (compassion, striving for truth etc.) is the real us.
