The inner self

Who is the real me?? am i jus my so called inner self putting up a facade by the name of alok? or am i really a person with two layers of existence?

i will elaborate a bit more about the two layers thing.. long ago when we were doing some experiments with planchetting (i hope u know wot tht is .. talkin to dead spirits etc etc.) i had thought of the two layers an tried to describe y we see stuff in it. The human psyche consists of the conscious and the subconscious... while they cant really be separated, a human being can live with multiple personas in the conscious layer (we call them politicians !! nono, wot i mean is people can put up facades .. but thats not really different personas in a conscious state.. its a deliberated thing.. but i still think a person can live mutiple personas at a conscious level... i think i m confused by now!!) .. but as i was saying, there are two layers of a mind, conscious and subconscious... most of the times, the subconscious is guiding the conscious, telling it wot to do... most of the times... the subconscious is a far more powerful thing than the conscious, an with far less malice... however, it is also beyond the control of the conscious, most of the times... subconscious is wot reaches the nearest to wot is called the soul of a person...

thats my two layers... but then it doesnt define my soul right? soul is something at the core of all this... its the 'atma' .. they say its indestructible...

"nainam cchindanti shastrani, nainam dahati pavakaha,
na chainam kledayantyapo, na shoshayati marutaha."

thts a sanskrit shloka saying that it cannot be cleaved by a weapon, cannot be burned by fire, cannot be soaked by water, cannot be sucked away by wind.. such is the nature of a human soul...it has the ultimate control over everything, eveything wot a person does....but then is it that bad persons, (i mean it as a generic term) have bad souls?? but why would be bad souls produced in the first place??
i believe that no soul is bad.. rather a soul is neither good nor bad, we cant judge it that way... the 'bad' character is in fact generated by defying the ultimate control of the soul.. it begins with defying the control of teh subconscious.. then we graduate to a biased and 'baddened' subconscious... then the ultimate achievment is the throwing off of the control of the soul over wot we do... so, bad people are the real achievers in defeating the soul !!!

but however you try to cheat the soul, it would silently watch and laugh.. because at the end, it decides your fate ryt?? .. all this makes me feel that a human mind, or the human existence is marked by THREE layers.. the conscious, the subconscious, and the soul !!...

i hope by now i have confused you enough.. so think about it... on the conscious level, cuz i alreadu know that on a subconscious level u r already thinkin about it.. ;)
