Two of my friends are whats known as pod incarnates. Their race uses frequency manipulation devices to channel the consciousness through the ether into dna modified flesh suits.Ok, hybrid like the Borg or the Cybermen?
So, on their planet they get into something that resembles a med bed, or cryo sleep pod as seen in sci fi shows, their bodies are fed all the nutrients and fluids needed for survival but they project their consciousness into the human body, live, laugh, cry and die, go home and wake up as if they were playing a game, only its not treated like a game, for them it is a mission to do certain things, just like the many other types of ET incarnates, lightworkers, indigo children are.
And as far as I know, that technology is fairly common out there, it's often used in clone like bodies to bridge communications between different types of species, like a whale species wanting to talk to an ant species, so both species have their own version of this tech, there are some kinds of bodies developed but empty of soul and grown I guess much like test tube babies, to be used temporarily when needed.
What I found very interesting... one of them I made orgonite for, and the entity that it channeled as it's consciousness was also from the same planet that the client was. I didn't even know that was possible with my technology. It's usually like dragons, ets and angels and that kind of thing that use my tech. But this one is a guy just in meditation up there, out there...what ever... that was cool to discover.
