First off, this post has gotten much bigger than I had thought...

Secondly, the above posts are correct in saying that mind, body, and spirit cannot be separated. However, it was either O-sensei or Tohei-sensei (or both) that said "To unify mind and body and become one with the universe is the ultimate purpose of my study." So, why bother to try separating mind and body, when we could instead unify them?
