This article is a compilation and refinement of material I have previously published.

I had a dream:

A Martian accidentally stumbled upon the rover Curiosity, created by employees of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which was moving across the surface of Mars, and decided to thoroughly examine the object he found.

Disassembling the rover “down to the last screw” and studying all its components in detail, the Martian made the following conclusions:

• The object is an automaton that operates according to a strictly defined algorithm stored inside the device and very similar to an operating system in its functionality. It is the operating system that controls all the resources of the object.
• The object explores the planet Mars and constantly systematizes the information obtained in this process, forming its knowledge and life experience based on this, i.e., its consciousness. The volume of systematized information is very small because it is stored on media of limited capacity inside the object.
• The object is, hypothetically, a robot that can be compared in development to a primitive creature…

But after assembling all the details together, the object found on the planet’s surface turns into a very intelligent, highly developed being, which has quite extensive knowledge and life experience, which did not correspond to its internal structure and far exceeded the theoretical capabilities of the components that made up the object’s body.

The Martian could not understand that the rover has a controlling entity that performs many functions of the operating system and the rover itself is a tool in the hands of the controlling entity. As a result, the consciousness of the controlling entity becomes the consciousness of the rover for a certain period of time and represents a collection of knowledge and life experience of many highly developed beings. During these moments, the rover’s modules become the hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, brain… of specialists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) NASA, who are physically located in Pasadena, California, USA, on planet Earth. And the rover itself during these moments is nothing more than an embodiment of this cohesive team of specialists. It is worth noting that only the Operating System constantly “resided” in the rover, while all other objects, such as Creators, Administrators, Operators, and Users, could either be present or absent, or simply periodically replace each other.

Unaware of the nature of what was happening, during his interaction (communication) with the rover, the Martian actually communicated with various entities — with the Creators of the rover, with the Administrators of the Control Center, with the Operators of the rover, with the Users of the rover, or even with the Operating System of the rover…

In learning about humans, that is, studying themselves, people differ very little from the Martian described above.

When I woke up, I thought:

A human being can be conceptualized as an entity consisting of two interconnected “parts” – a unique Body (the manifested aspect of a person’s flesh) and a unique Personality (the manifested aspect of a person’s Soul). The essence that governs all the resources of a human being and organizes their interaction with the objects of the Universe, ensuring the stable functioning of the human as a unified system, has long been called the Soul by people.

By default, the Soul reflects the intentions of Nature through itself, but in some rare cases, it can reflect the intentions of a certain controlling entity through itself, which is capable of acting as its operator.

“The soul uses the body as an instrument, and the soul itself is an instrument of God. The virtue of every instrument is to manifest the thoughts of the user through itself. But an instrument cannot show the thought of the creator pure and unharmed, but it also adds something of itself in the transmission. So too the soul, using the body as an instrument, transmits through it the intelligible forms, but not in a pure form, but also adding something of itself, and this “added” is nothing other than its own movement.” Plotinus (205-270 AD), Roman philosopher, Treatise “On the Soul.”

• looking with the eyes of the flesh;
• listening to sounds with the ears of flesh;
• smelling odors with the nose of flesh;
• tasting flavors with the mouth of the flesh;
• creating new objects with the hands of flesh;
• moving around on planet Earth with the feet of flesh;
• etc. 

Conclusions:

1. A Human Being is the instrument of the Soul, which reflects through itself the intentions of Nature or the intentions of its Operator. It represents an object created by Nature, conditionally consisting of two interconnected “parts” – a unique Body (a “part” of human flesh manifested by the subject) and a unique Personality (a “part” of human Soul manifested by the subject), and also a multitude of other conditionally “visible” (perceptible) and conditionally “invisible” (not perceptible) by the subject Beings and Entities, who chose the flesh of a human being for their bodies as a dwelling place and incarnated into it for the purpose of realization of their own tasks and desires.

2. A Human Being is the “face” (personification) of their Soul.

3. Any flesh can be a home for many Beings (micro- and macro-organisms) or Entities of the Universe. These Beings or Entities can incarnate into the flesh and leave it at any moment of time.

4. Any flesh can serve as an embodiment for any Essence that is able to take complete control of the flesh of the being by partially intercepting the control functions from the Soul. As a result of such an interaction, the entity provides them with its flesh to carry out their activities in the Universe. Such Entities are called controlling entities because they fulfill the role of the operator of the Being. The controlling entity is able to “leave” the flesh (“break” the connection with it) at its will at any moment of time.
