i for one am nothing like my moot personality
whilst here i might come off as arrogant sometimes, talkative often, and quite outgoing maybe, i am nothing like that - i am quite a shy and retiring person usually |

I wasn't sure how to answer so I addressed all the parts of Mr. Bishop's first post, and tricked myself into thinking I was going to post it to see how it'd feel. I really don't mind that much, but I just don't think anyone'd care, really. Or rather, I don't like people who complain and tell me about how they cried themselves to sleep. Or something... I think if the crowd wanted to know my soul, I might be able to bare my soul easier. But, if I didn't like them as a whole I'd probably go with body. And probably it'd be that the more they seemed like they wanted to see my body the less I'd want to show them. I hate to say something like "it would depend on the audience" but it would, and it'd depend on my mood. Also, baring the soul is a lot more draining and takes a lot of energy and deep thought. But if I was in the mood, I might not mind. Because I like talking about myself I guess. This is a terrible question because every fiber of my being is telling me "Don't share anything, just keep it to yourself."

A rough idea.
Quote:
...It can happen without your conscious mind realizing it. You usually feel totally different. You will not necessarily recognize the people around you. You may have lapses of memory of the other occupant and will not be able to recognize the reason you came. It is usually quite a shock to the body especially if this has happened due to a car accident, operation, or a very long illness. You will feel somewhat estranged from everyone around you though you retain the memories of your body's past history. After all, you are a totally different entity. MY USE OF THE TERM IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE FOLLOWING: Have you ever felt like you didn't "belong?" That you just weren't like everyone else? Are you mystified by many of the things that excite and interest other people? Do many of those things seem boring and meaningless to you? Are you amazed at the degree of selfishness that most people exhibit? When you were a child, did you lose yourself in fantasies and daydreams? Have you always been fascinated by fantasy or science fiction books, movies and television? Do you feel that you came from a better place and do you feel that someday you will return there? Have you investigated many religions or religious denominations but in the end found none of them to be quite right? Finally, have you always had an interest in UFOs and extraterrestrials? Do stories of alien contact fascinate you and feel somehow familiar to you? If these questions strike a chord in you, then maybe it's because you're a wanderer. What's a wanderer? Well, basically, a wanderer is an extraterrestrial soul that has been incarnated in a human body. This is a matter of choice by the E.T. soul, and they do it for a purpose: to assist humanity's evolution or to help humanity through some upcoming crisis, such as major earth changes. Sometimes, if they are invited by the soul-in-residence, extraterrestrial souls even come in and take over an existing human body. These cases are called walk-ins. These and similar ideas are expanded upon in books like Strangers Among Us and Aliens Among Us by Ruth Montgomery; The Star People by Brad & Francie Steiger and Starborn by Brad Steiger & Sherry Hansen Steiger; and in From Elsewhere and Universal Vision by Scott Mandelker.

Body, definitely body. My soul's nobody's business but mine, but my body - I don't mind, look away!

Good fish catch Lotesse! And I have to agree with you there.
I will show just enough of my soul as I wish, but I can deal with the ol bod being naked. Try going into the army....

Hmmmm, I guess I am at a point in my life where I could do either.
Soul - I have done a bit with you guys already and I also shared some very personal experiences with the teen girls at my church. So, I think I could handle it. Body - A few years ago I would have said "NO WAY", but I am now very content with my body....even though it is already on the decline.
