   No, I do not think they are all one. This is how I feel inside. It seems inside me that my mind orders my body, but  my spirit is independent of the two. For instance, I am 50 yet my spirit is still 19-20 (hasn't changed). However, my mind (conscious and subconscious) rule completely differently from the essence of my spirit. In the end it's a bit sad because my spirit is more like Scarlet O'hara yet I function more like hardened cement. How do you view the body-mind-spirit?
   
   Very interesting question by the way.

    It is my belief that the body is a product of the mind and the spirit is a product of both, working in conjunction. The essence of life, or spirit, is given at birth and improved upon as time moves on, within the mind and body that holds it in place. What we call genetics may be a little too simplified in defining the spirit. It is more, and is witnessed by others when they see and hear another person in their humanity, be it in goodness or in wrong doing. Spirit comes from deep within the recesses of the mind and body, to form the whole of each being that walks upon this earth. When we die, our spirit remains and will join the others in one great spiritual light. This is my personal belief. When we speak of the soul, I believe it is one and the same, as the spirit.

    Without meaning to offend anyone, I'm not entirely certain that the spirit exists? And if it does, I don't really know how it's any different from the mind? My mind is who I am, my thoughts, personality etc.
    I think that the mind and body are very much connected, but the mind is the more powerful of the two. If you are upset or stressed then you can also become physically ill, but if you are physically ill then you do not normally become unhappy. (Obviously I don't mean terminal illnesses or disabilities here, of course they are upsetting. I think they're not upsetting in themselves though, but they can depress you because you know they might kill you or radically change your life.)

So what we are shows up one way in the body, another in the emotions, another in the thinking mind, another in our energy, another in our Soul, and another in Spirit. Both the pure and healthy, and also the cracks and flaws in us, inside the gem, show up in each of these facets.

    My feeling is that the spirit is manifested in the mind and the body. You can have the spirit without either one of the former, however they are connected. How connected depends on your acceptance or allowance to spirit in your being. For those that doubt their is a spirit, I ask you to consider the moments I think everyone has experienced of the first time you felt awe or wonder or deep love or even expansive peace. These things cannot come from the "little" mind, unless there is a pre-existence of the experience before. Your mind and a brain, neurons, etc - does not fabricate emotions of bliss, love, connections beyond being. Yes, there may be a God gene, but if science ultimately proves this to be true, is the gene the reason we can sometimes experience God or is the gene the conduit for God to be experienced through us.
    
    For me, there will always be different ways of looking at things - but the things that really resonate with us, these are the things that will impact our lives. If you don't believe there is a spirit, your experiences in life will support this belief, and so on. I believe there is a spirit because I have experienced it's presence in my life. I can't prove it or even adequately describe it, but I know it nonetheless.

    When you are self possessed, the body dominates. When you are asleep , imagining or concentrating on something that is removed from the reality of your immediate being, you are in the mental state or your mind is doing all the work. When you are able to decide where you are in relation to both these states , then your spirit is at rest.
    Spirit need not be at rest, because it may be on a quest. The mind does not know about it. So, it is peaceful. When the answer is revealed, the mind at once realizes that some force (spirit) has moved his being to some new point in space and time.
    So, in that respect it is all one.
