To me, “self” is an aggregate term. I see the “self” as encompassing the spirit, mind and body, and the relationships between the three equal parts. I think all parts of the self must be understood and honored equally to achieve a balanced life. People seem to speak of the body as sort of a second-class citizen in the self game (i.e., attending to purely physical needs and desires is somehow less worthwhile than spiritual/emotional/intellectual pursuits). The metaphysical is not somehow “better” than the physical – for me it’s all rolled up in one great lovely ball, and it’s all good. |
