AngelBlue,
It is not a separate being but rather our very selves. Specifically it is the ego. The ego is our mechanism for self survival. Because we are not spiritual we only perceive the physical world. The survival of this world is dependent on death(our food,etc). The ego sees this death and is attracted to shortcuts.
