Body, Mind, or Soul?

Nubclear · February 13, 2003, 23:34

Which of these three areas do you focus on? Do you focus on your body, your mind, or your soul?

No banana.

I've given up on soul. Haven't focused much on body in my life, except in the past 6 months, and have been studying and learning and reading actively since I was 3 and a half. So yeah, I think mind.

I voted mind as well. Though soul comes a close second.

I've never focused on body. Your just going to lose it anyway

I don't separate mind from soul. I consider it to be one thing.

Then vote mind and keep it in the majority.

Sava · February 13, 2003, 23:41

what if I don't wanna?

Ted Striker · February 13, 2003, 23:55

Soul by a mile. It drives everything I do.

Those other 2 things just assist.

The soul transcends body, mind, and this earth.

ted,

Have I introduced you to Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World?

Jon Miller · February 14, 2003, 00:07

mind I have to admit

I would like to focus more on soul though (I have been making in effort to focus more on the other two because I Think I am (and was) a little unballanced)

No you haven't.

What's it about?

Ted Striker · February 14, 2003, 00:17

I bet it has the word, "billions" in it though.

Urban Ranger · February 14, 2003, 00:19

It's about demons.

More specifically, it's about demons of the mind, and how people have been exocising them. A must read for everybody.

Kramerman · February 14, 2003, 00:32

This is really tough. I really focus on both my mind and body.... i dont believe in souls, so thats cast out right there, heh... I suppose ill have to go with mind, as i so spend more time learning than i do working out or somethn.

Ohhhhhhh now that sounds like my kinda book.

This isn't one of those anti-spirit books that leaves you with an empty feeling is it? The reviews on Amazon make it sound that way...

Tuberski · February 14, 2003, 00:39

Mind, trying to keep it occupied.

ACK!

Inverse Icarus · February 14, 2003, 01:25

mind.

Asher · February 14, 2003, 01:48

Mind
then Body
and Soul about is about ten miles away from the middle of nowhere.

monolith94 · February 14, 2003, 02:18

This board is mostly white guys who spend alot of time on computers so yeah, it doesn't have as much soul as it could...

Que pasa people![/James Brown]

Ben Kenobi · February 14, 2003, 17:58

Body is definately last. Soul probably a bit more than mind.

Tassadar!

Az · February 14, 2003, 18:09

Mind and Soul are one for me, so, well, those guys.

Japher · February 14, 2003, 18:25

No banana? Then I'm not voting!

(Really I tend to focus on soul, mind, then body...my mind still gets a lot of attention, but my soul needs it more)

St Leo · February 15, 2003, 16:22

The body.

The mind is part of the body and the soul doesn't exist.

Ted Striker · February 15, 2003, 16:52

You'd change your mind if you've seen Uretha Franklin sing St. Leo!

Provost Harrison · February 15, 2003, 17:10

Urethra Franklin?

Oh the mind definitely. I'm an atheist (soul?) and the body is merely a unit to transport my brain around and to feed in basic raw data. F**k it, in years to come I'll have a nice jar to do that for me

General Ludd · February 15, 2003, 17:14

Mind and Soul.

By mind, I do not mean intellectual or educational pursuitsm which is what I think most people associate it with, so I will go with soul.

MrFun · February 15, 2003, 19:58

I can't vote, since I'm trying to focus on all three at this point in life.

Mind -- academic work, studies, independent reading, discussions

Soul -- past few months I have been trying to find some active, meaningful way to affirm my belief in God and Jesus without compromising who I am; I might convert to a Protestant denomination that is more progressive towards homosexuals, but I don't know for sure yet

Body -- my increased effort for more nutritious eating on day-to-day basis, and my regular workout routine that I do four days a week for 40 minutes (gay community has this philosophy; no pecs, no sex)

Actually, not sure where this fits in, but for the past four months I chose to abstain from one night stands, and waiting to find the right guy to start a monogamous relationship with.

Dis · February 16, 2003, 03:58

none of the above

Skanky Burns · February 16, 2003, 06:02

I would have to rate Soul as my primary focus, if that entails looking after the "me" part of me. By which case I mean ensuring that I am happy, fulfilled, etc.

My mind comes second. Without some form of intellectual stimulation I would go insane.

Body last. My resolution to eat lots regularly and exercise every day generally gets implemented as eat little and exercise twice a week at most. I need to work more in this area.

Provost Harrison · February 16, 2003, 09:23

Body? Mind? Soul? Bugger then, I concentrate on the stomach!
