Hmm, I guess I feel the person observing is my true self? That voice I go to when ruminating on a big decision and am not sure what to do.

I think it's interesting AVRT refers to it as The Beast. I just got done reading a religious-based book: Battlefield of the Mind. It talks about the same thing, but refers to these thoughts as "Satan" talking to us. There really must be something to becoming programmed to objectifying these thoughts as it seems to be a trend in things I happen to fall upon reading these days.

AVRT, thank you for the PM and the info in it - I could not respond via PM b/c I do not yet have 5 posts under my belt.
