It is just so good to have you visit after such a prolonged absence,
Lensman. Many thanks for stopping by when I know your time is so limited. It was a wonderful surprise to unexpecedly read something you have written ; an even more delightful surprise too as it was in the form of such a nice comment that was so reflective of your writing style. I do miss reading posts from you every day. I look forward to reading your writing on a more regular basis.

Hi Muser
Great thoughts. I've often made the vehicle/body comparison. It just makes sense to me. I see the body as a contraption that carries around a higher form within it. I always like comparing areas of the body to man-made things we use every day. The eye works the way a camera does, the inner ear shares many of the characteristics of a stereo speaker, a giant earth-mover has an "arm" with an elbow, wrist and fingers, its pistons acting as tendons and muscles. Also, the heart is a pump with intake and outflow valves, the brain is so comparable to a computer it's astounding....and so on. And when it all wears out and breaks down, we need to open a door and climb out....
...and upgrade

I can so relate to this! I've always seen my body just as a vehicle. Sometimes when I'm driving I look at this pair of hands on the steering wheel and wonder... it can be a bit scary at times! But I know exactly what you mean!

Muser...
Perhaps you are more in touch with yourself than you think... this seems to me to be a pretty profound revelation. The physical body only houses the soul as we take this journey called life. Sounds like you are a step ahead of the game.

Hmmm I always know it is me.
Sometimes wish it wasn't though!

I sometimes catch sight of myself in a window and go who is that?

Muser so beautifully said. That was young for such a revelation.
I think of my body these days as a neighborhood. Be blessed... We're taking the same flight!

I think of mine as a cocoon; I know when my time comes... I'll fly away.

Muser - I agree. I have always thought our "packages" incorrectly ...
... imprison us, as well as mislead others. I think a civilization of blind people would yield more real exchanges, less misconceptions, less posturing, more privacy, and greater communicative rewards. Our packages hold us captive.
