Is it the Matrix?
Imagine The Matrix world - what if the computer simulation already had characters running around, operating according to basic programming. Neo wants to join the game, so the computer ‘models’ him and then overlays that model onto a generated character within the Matrix. Neo would need points of interface to be able to make the character do things other than its programming, but when Neo relaxed, the programming would run the body for him.
What would it be like to be Neo? Necessarily he would need to be unaware of his ‘greater’ life or he would not actually be ‘playing’ the Matrix game. In very short order he would become adjusted to using the model to do things - like driving a car, very soon you cease to think through the steps necessary to drive. Neo could even get to the point of wondering about and perhaps reasoning towards a knowledge of a greater life, but until he dropped the body and model imagery, he’d be unaware of the existence of something above his Matrix world.
The model would be like an astral body – a copy inserted into this reality by the original or perhaps by a ‘higher self’ to play and learn. The links back through the astral body might account for some of the mystery things that occur – there have been numerous cases where people have somehow ‘known’ of future events. There is no satisfactory explanations for this, although there have been numerous attempts.
Maybe the reason we have so much trouble identifying who we are and how things work with us is because we are trying to encompass two varieties of life within one description?
