That's like saying your sense of humor is a separate being from you.   If I 
appeal to your mercy, to your compassion, to your sense of justice, to your  
integrity -- have I just proclaimed you a victim of multiple personality  
disorder, with four or five separate selves??
 
Interestingly Christianity actually does this -- by calling Ruach Hakodesh  
("the Holy Ghost") a separate and distinct being in the trinity.    They got 
there by being excessively literal, which is what it seems to me you  are doing.
