We have a physical body. Mammal classification. The physical body has organs with which to keep it alive. The physical body is dependent upon air, water, food, & shelter.
The physical body is also dependent upon coherent organization of thought in order to accomplish obtaining that which the body needs.
If there is not sufficient air, water, food, shelter the body is in distress. The mind may not understand why there is distress. The body on its most basic level does understand; Breath is quickened, water and energy is taken from cells, and shivering or slowing of movement is initiated by the body in order to maintain status quo (homeostasis). This happens on its own without a conscious decision (thought). In other words, the body has a mind of its own.
You may make a conscious decision to "lay down and die" but unless you take action the body will not die until it can no longer maintain homeostasis.
Humans have a physical body and a spiritual body. The physical body is adopted by the spirit.
Some of us adopt dog bodies, cat bodies, snail bodies, tree bodies, rock bodies, etc.
