Spirit and flesh and mind

The flesh (body) is attracted to flesh.
The Spirit (Awareness) knows itself as pure presence.

So where does the mind come in?????

The mind is the one suffering identity crisis.
The mind is the identifying tendency.
Mind is identification. The notion of 'I'.

The only problem there is is for the mind.

Neither the Spirit nor the flesh is confused.

Confusion belongs only to the ignorant mind which has no idea of what to identify with.

Truly, the only problem (if there be one) is the ignorant mind.

Mind is identification. The only problem therefore is a problem for the mind which does not know where to turn to. The mind is confused about what to identify itself with.

But since there is only Spirit and flesh, there seems to be no mind there. This non-existence of the mind is the mind's greatest fear. For it is trying to sustain itself, and that which has no existence cannot sustain itself.

Thus, the only confusion is a confusion of identification. This identity crisis itself is the mind.
