Man as a human being has truly been observed to be made up of 2 parts, the human body and the being, similar to a one-seater car and the driver, or a one-seater plane and the pilot. In a life time the human body and the being are inseparable and seen as the human being. When in motion the car and the driver are inseparable and seen as the car-in-motion. In the case of the plane and the pilot they are also inseparable and seen as the plane-in-flight. The life of a human being is therefore similar to the life of a car-in-motion or to the life of a plane-in-flight.
The human body of the human being is well understood but the being of the human being, which is similar to the driver of the car-in-motion or similar to the pilot of the plane-in-flight, may best be described as the soul-driver of the human being, the driver of the human body.
The driver gets into a car, sets the car-in-motion, and the car-in-motion is said to be born. Once the car is in motion the driver learns to drive the car better and better, keeps on learning about the dynamics of traffic, other aspects of the driving environment, the world around him, and therefore acquires knowledge and experience as the car-in-motion moves along in life. For the purpose of our discussion, once the driver gets into the car, when the car-in-motion is said to be born, the driver stays in the car during the life time of the car-in-motion, and keeps the car in motion until the car gets out of order beyond repair. During the life time of the car-in-motion the driver makes decisions, expresses his or her emotions, makes friends and enemies on the road, refuels the car, gets the servicing and repair of the car done, parks the car to get some sleep, wakes up and continues his life in the car-in-motion, and keeps on learning, acquiring more knowledge and experience. If the driver takes a wrong turn and gets lost and eventually finds the way to a destination, the driver has learnt how to get to that destination and may not get lost the next time. Apart from learning the hard way the driver may also opt to learn from drivers of other cars-in-motion. The driver may be a fast learner or a slow learner. The driver may have the talent of being a fast driver or a careless driver. The driver may always keep his car shining good or dirty. It is the driver of the car-in-motion who is in charge of the car-in-motion. It is the driver of the car-in-motion who does the learning to acquire the knowledge and experience, and should the car become non serviceable, the driver has no choice but to abandon the car but retains his acquired knowledge and experience. That car-in-motion no longer exists and is said to be dead as the car is no longer serviceable, and the driver has departed from the car.
At birth, a soul-driver and a human body form a union to become a human being, remaining inseparable until there is total failure of the human body when the soul-driver departs from the failed human body, and the human being is said to be dead. Between the birth and death is the life cycle of the human being when the soul-driver is observed to be in charge, going through the motions of life, expressing emotions, being taught the lessons of life, discovering the natural laws, finding out more and more about the world, learning from each experience, making choices, taking decisions, all resulting in the accumulation of knowledge and experience by the soul-driver. The total sum of the acquired knowledge and experience differentiates one soul-driver from another. The total sum of acquired knowledge and experience becomes the knowledge profile of the soul-driver. This knowledge profile keeps on growing as more knowledge and experience is acquired during the life cycle of the human being. All the actions of the human being becomes a learning process leading to the accumulation of knowledge and experience by the soul-driver, and therefore defining the knowledge profile of the soul-driver at any point in time. Upon total failure of the human body, the soul-driver also departs taking along its acquired knowledge profile being the accumulated knowledge and experience, and the human being, at this time, is pronounced dead. The end of a life cycle.
