The Chicken and the Egg

When I think of how my self is constructed, I envision layers that are complete in themselves but that create and affect and are affected by other layers.

Each layer is not just a "container" for the one within. There is an active chemistry at work between and within and outward and inward and my body-mind-soul-spirit is an interactive construct not an exclusive one.

Which brings me to another set of questions:
Should my forays into my self-hood inward out or outward in?
Did the body create, affect and become affected by the soul or did the soul create, affect and become affected by the body?

What came before--the chicken or the egg?

Does it matter?
