Consider: It is 10:00 PM. I am tired. If I want to wake up, I can't just say to myself: "Wake UP!" Instead, I have to drink coffee.
Now take this minor example, which I am sure we all have dealt with. Apply it to bigger issues, like sexual attraction. Do I wake up and decide: "Today I will fall in love with Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss X" NO. My body decides for me.
Now what about "deeper" ideas, such as religion? Are those also controlled by our bodies?
Am I me, or am I my bodies whims and desires?
