Hi βαθμιαίος,
the following is just surmise on my part, but when Ra said that the mind became complex, the body was also made complex as a result, in that certain bodily functions were 'hidden' behind the Veil and assigned to the autonomous nervous system, and other functions of the body were left on 'this side' of the Veil, and were able to be consciously directed.
"83.20 Questioner: Would you give me an example of a complex activity of the body that we have now and how it was not complex prior to the veil?
Ra: I am Ra. Prior to the great experiment a mind/body/spirit was capable of controlling the pressure of blood in the vein, the beating of the organ you call the heart, the intensity of the sensation known to you as pain, and all the functions now understood to be involuntary or unconscious."
I can only surmise (and extrapolate) that a similiar 'veiling' was applied to the functions of the spirit, possibly leading to the situation that Spaced described up above.
as for specific examples (which you asked for), maybe 'inspiration' would be one? definitely the functions of the spirit are manifold and quite encompassing.
