and frankly there is not really an I if I understood the latest research : there is a series of massively parallel network working on different stuff and interconnecting, and the emerging stuff is what we see as the I.
The misunderstanding here is caused by erroneous default assumption that the brain contains only one “I”.
The human brain contains billions of neural cells however the man perceives himself as having only one(1) personality, one(1) consciousness, one(1) “I”, and people who believe in the existence of the soul perceive themselves as having only one(1) soul. Human brain contains billions of neurons however vast majority of people strongly believe that all these billions of neurons contain only one(1) personality, one(1) consciousness, one(1) soul, one(1) “I”.
This “one human body contains one consciousness” model is sufficient to explain the majority of events in casual normal routine life and this is the reason why this model has become de facto accepted model in all human cultures and societies without ever doubting its validity. Medieval scholars were debating the question “how many angels can fit on the head of a pin?” (a.k.a. “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”), however nobody has ever raised the question “how many souls can be contained in one human body?” assuming by default that one(1) human body contains only one(1) soul.
Neurocluster Brain Model claims that neurons in the human brain are organized not into one “personality” (one “I”), but instead these neurons are organized into many (more or less autonomic) clusters of neurons and each such neurocluster forms (more or less autonomic) “personality” and there are several ways to prove that experimentally. However only single one from these multiple neuroclusters has access to the control of the body (control of speech, control of body movements) and
Neurocluster Brain Model calls this neurocluster as the “main personality”. Other autonomous neuroclusters remain hidden from the outside observer and also they are hidden from the “main personality”. However under some special conditions these hidden autonomous neuroclusters can become able to manifest themselves for the “main personality” (by communicating with “main personality”, by generating various images/sounds/etc to “main personality”) and after this happens the “main personality” decides that he is communicating with “spiritual beings from the spiritual world” – this is the underlying mechanism of how religious adepts communicate with spirits/angels/Gods/etc and also the underlying mechanism of other religious and occult phenomena.
One of the simplest experimental proofs of multiple autonomic neuroclusters residing in the brain is the analysis of features of the dream characters.
During the dreaming process the man sees various characters (people/animals/etc) in the dream scenario. Let’s ask a simple question – do these characters (which are seen in the dream) have their own consciousness or not?
Let’s suppose the answer this question is “no, dream characters do not have their own consciousness”. Such answer raises a simple question – if the dream characters do not have their own consciousness, then how can it be that these dream characters can communicate with you, talk with you, ask questions to you, answer your questions, etc – how the dream characters can accomplish such tasks if they do not have their own consciousness? If the dream characters do not have their own consciousness, then this leads to the conclusion that agent (dream character) does not need to have the consciousness in order to appear like it has consciousness.
Now let’s analyze another scenario. Suppose the answer is “yes, dream characters do have their own consciousness”. Such answer raises a simple question – who is the physical carrier of dream character’s consciousness? The most common answer which people give to such question is “non-material spirits hover beyond the material world and these spirits come into the dream where they meet other non-material spirits and these spirits communicate between with each other.” However let’s analyze the following situation. Suppose you go to sleep and you see Susane in your dream. However while you are sleeping and while you are seeing Susane in your dream, the real physical Susane is located in the next room where she is cooking food, reading book, etc. If Susane would be asleep while you are sleeping, then the explanation would be that your spirit and Susane’s spirit have met beyond the material world. However problem lays in the fact that Susane is not asleep, Susane is awake and Susane’s spirit is inside the physical body of Susane and Susane is busy with some action. If you are seeing Susane in the dream, then how can the spirit of Susane be in two different places simultaneously – in your dream and in the next room? These are very simple questions which lead to insolvable paradoxes.
However all these paradoxes can be easily solved using neurocluster brain model. Susane which you see in your dream is not the Susane’s spirit, but instead a neurocluster into which the model of Susane is written and stored. This neurocluster simulates all the behavior of Susane: how Susane moves, how Susane talks, etc. The more accurate and the more detailed the model of Susane is, the more realistic the dream scenario becomes.
The characters (which are seen/met in the dream) have different intelligence level – one characters can speak fluently, while other characters are incoherent, and third characters are unable to stammer out a single word. Why there is such difference in the intelligence level? The underlying mechanism is very simple.
If the neurocluster which models character X contains low number of neurons then character X will have low intelligence level.
If the neurocluster which models character X contains big number of neurons then character X will have high intelligence level.
The good analogy for the model of object X stored into neurocluster is the computer file. However such neurocluster is not a simple computer data file, this neurocluster also can act as executable (EXE) computer program file.
During the dreaming process the models of various characters become “alive” autonomic personalities which are able to act independently from the main personality.
Under some conditions the character which is stored inside the neurocluster can become able to communicate with the man’s main personality while the man is awake.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the hearing/vision areas inside the brain, and neural links reach hearing/vision areas, then such neurocluster may begin “tele-radio” translation for the man’s main personality and the main personality with begin to hear the voice of “God/angels/cosmos/etc” and see images of “God/angels/cosmos/etc”.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the motor areas inside the brain, then such neurocluster can take over the control of the man’s body – and this is the classical scenario when “demon possessed” man can attack nearby people and/or accomplish some other actions with the man’s body. As a rule, the neurocluster which contains the model of the “demon” has very limited and relatively small number of neurons at its possession and this is the reason why the intelligence level of such “demons” is very low – the “demon” can only induce shaking convulsions or physically attack somebody nearby, however maintaining meaningful highly intelligent conversation with such “demon” is not possible at all. During sleepwalking (somnambulism) when autonomic neurocluster takes over control of man’s body usually the intelligence level of autonomic neurocluster is also very low and this is the reason why it is not possible to carry meaningful highly intelligent conversation with the sleepwalker.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the areas of the brain which control the mouth and voice, and neural links reach voice control areas, then such autonomic neurocluster can take over the man’s voice and begin talking via man’s mouth – this phenomena is known under the name of “channeling”.
If the neurocluster has huge number of neurons at his disposal and if the neurocluster has full access to the control of the man’s body, then this manifests itself as „multiple personality disorder“.
The typical classic example of autonomic neurocluster is so called “archangel Gabriel” which dictated the text of Quran to Muhammad.

The Quran is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe that it represents the words of God revealed to Muhammad through the archangel Gabriel.
