There are so many definitions for the term Human, many embrace words such as Biological, Spiritual, or Social in definitions. Definitions that possessed long paragraphs didn’t satisfy my curiosity of what Human really meant. It plagues me to believe that Humanity doesn’t know what Human means. Do we as individuals ever take a moment out in life to define Human? I know not.
There are few definitions for the word Life Form. Words such as non-equilibrium thermodynamic state, physical entity, and energy were used in the definitions. Maybe the Human definitions need to borrow some of the information provided in Life Form’s definitions. Needless to say, the definition of Life Form satisfied my curiosity.
What lingered over my head was the reality of not knowing what it is to be Human. I know that I am Human, but what does it mean? Biology says I am made up of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. The complexion of my skin says I belong to a certain group of people, my gender says I am classified as a specific Human type. My behavior characterizes me as communicating best with a certain type of people.
Some may say that all of these factors are definitions of Human. Are they? A colleague and I were discussing an event that happened to her. She couldn’t distinguish reality from fantasy/dream, and was very torn apart by it. This is her account of what happened, fiction or non-fiction I cannot judge; but what I can judge is the awesome lesson that she learned as well as the lesson I learned from her experience. The experience of explaining what it is “To be Human”:
I was taken out of my environment, and into an unknown environment; isolated from all that I knew, and my senses were numb. My mind would show me pictures, symbols, and words that would make up complete sentences.
The first sentence formed, “I am in search of a Biological Resident.”
I reply with, “what?”
Words form again, “I am fragments of energy existing through this state of reality. I am in search of Biological Residence so that I can become a complete Life Form”.
“Ok,” I said to assure that I understood the information provided so far.
Words, “I am curious about the Life Form Human. Please provide information about Human.”
I sighed, then silence. No words formed, pure darkness. My thoughts rambled about different cultures, genders, religions, and countries. They stopped.
Words, “explain these thoughts, images. I need to understand.”
“These thoughts are pieces of knowledge and not complete. In order for me to explain completely, I need to see the logic of your curiosity.”
Words, “the logic is basic. I am searching for Biological Residence.”
“Why do you choose to search for Biological Residence?”
Words, “reality. It is the state chosen to exist, and Biological Residence is needed in order for reality to occur. Many Biological Entities before our encounter has provided information about their Biological Residence. Human Biological Residence information is needed.”
Speechless, not because of what is occurring, but what is being asked of me. Define Human in its entirety for an unknown Entity. At this moment, I am being held accountable for every point in Human existence. Every question asked, every answer I give reflects Humanity.
BIOLOGY OF HUMAN
Words, “what consists of the Human Biological Residence?”
“In order for you to receive accurate information regarding Human Biology, you need to speak to an expert in Human Biology, like a Doctor.”
“I do not understand your explanation”.
A picture of a doctor flashes in my mind, “you need to ask a person with this title.”
“The image shown is a Human. Why do I need to inquire from another Human?”
“That Human has extensive knowledge in Human Biology.”
“No.”
“No?”
“You are Human, and the same as the image you have shown. Human Biological information is needed.”
“Yes, you keep saying this.”
“Your hesitation to provide information of the Human Biology is unacceptable”.
“The information I provide you with will not be as accurate as--” I sigh. The fragmented energy assumes all Humans have a common knowledge of their Biology. It makes common sense in the simplest form; why wouldn’t a life form not understand its biological functions, as Humans we would consider the same assumption if encountered by a Biological Entity, wouldn’t we?
Words, “hesitation to provide information on Human Biology is unacceptable”.
“Our Biological makeup…….cells, which is a small organism with the capability of independent function. These cells make up tissues, which becomes matter that can perform one or more specific functions of the body. There are four types of tissues, nerve, muscle, epidermal, and connective. These tissues formed and perform in the body as organ systems. There are many different organ systems, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiration, endocrine, nervous, integumentary, urinary, gastrointestinal, mental health, and the lymphatic”.
Words, “provide details for organ systems, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiration, endocrine, nervous, integumentary, urinary, gastrointestinal, mental health, and the lymphatic”.
“Details!? Are you crazy!?”
“Provide details-“
“I think!-the skeletal system is bones that consist of connective tissues made up of calcium. There are two hundred and six bones within the Human Life Form. These bones protect organs that are points of attachment for muscles which allows for movement. The muscular system has three types, smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Smooth muscle is found in internal organs and classified as involuntary movement. Skeletal, also known as Striated, is found in bone muscle and provides voluntary movement. Smooth muscle is found in the Human heart- which keeps Humans alive. Let’s see, cardiovascular is what involves the Heart and blood vessels. Blood vessels carry blood back and forth to the heart and throughout the body. Umm, respiration I believe has to do with Human breathing. I think it’s also known as the exchange of gases whereas Humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, because we have carbon dioxide in the blood when it travels back to the heart and into the lungs….I believe that’s where the exchange takes place-somewhere in there; one gets dropped off and the other gets picked up, something like that. Endocrine……endocrine…..I remember my teacher saying something like hypothalamus-which is what controls our eating habits and male Human reproductive organs like the testes; females have one too, I think it’s the ovaries. Nervous has to do with Human nerves-sensory. Humans have neurons through out the body, and they send electronic impulses back and forth to each other. These impulses signal our brain to do things; like the image I sent you earlier of a Human you refuse to speak with? Well, an impulse fired and allowed my brain to show that image to you. The integumentary system is what protects our organs, heart, and brain. Humans call it skin, without skin our organs, heart, and brain would be exposed. Urinary allows Humans to empty waste in liquid form from the body. Gastrointestinal has to do with the stomach part of the Human body. When Humans eat it goes to the stomach to be broken down by chemical enzymes, then to the small intestine for absorption, then the large intestine for last minute absorption, wait……yes that’s right-I think, then it empties out of the rectum. Lymphatic is another vessel that caries fluid from tissues; mental health has to do with our brain, perception, cognitive, speech, movement, judgment, and memory. Look, I’m not even sure if what I told you is accurate.”
“Information is acknowledged.”
“What, what does that mean?”
“Information is acknowledged.”
“Yeah ok, whatever.”
THEOLOGY
“Since you are in search of Biological Residence, what type of faith or religion do you have?”
Words, “your question is not understood. Explain faith, religion.”
“I didn’t think that not having faith in a Creator of some sort didn’t apply to life forms, other than Human” I chuckled. It didn’t seem to be amused.
“Explain faith and religion.”
“Humans believe in a supernatural Being that is creator of all existence.”
“Acknowledged.”
“So you believe in a Creator of all existence as well?”
“Explain believe as Humans relate to the term.”
“Believe is like a blind or invisible commitment. So we believe, blind or invisible commitment, in a Creator of all existence.”
“Why do Humans believe? It is logical that creation is created.”
“No, but we believe that the creation was created by a supernatural Entity.”
“It is logical for creation to evolve from creator.”
“Wait a minute, do you know what the Creator of all existence is.”
“The Human brain will not be able to comprehend the laws and order of existence in this reality; therefore, I must refrain from answering that question.”
“Unacceptable.”
Words, “explain religion and faith.”
“I will not until you explain the laws and order of existence, so that I can understand what the Creator is.”
“You were not made to understand, many life forms are not made to understand. That is apart of the laws and order of existence.”
“Well, can it be changed? I mean, can Humans be made to understand?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“After I have received all information on Human, I will proceed with a brief synopsis of why Human is not made to understand laws and order of existence, in which is apart of laws and order of existence. Explain religion and faith.”
“Well, as I was saying, we believe in a Creator of existence. There are different ways of how Humans practice acknowledging the Creator. These variations of practice are called religion. There are so many, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, and Jewish are just a few. Within each of the religions I mentioned, there are versions. Versions of Christianity are practiced differently, versions of Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, and Jewish religions all practiced differently.”
“Is religion logical?”
“No, they’re all based on faith. Faith is not logic, it’s not reason. If it were based on logic or reason, Humanity would not have religion. Science has contradicted Human religion for years, still Humans cling to it. Faith is believe, a blind or invisible commitment to religion.”
“Humans acknowledge a Creator of existence with the absence of logic?”
“I’m afraid so. Many years ago when Science interfered with religion to explain phenomenon Humans did not understand, the Humans that tried to explain the logic that contradicted religion were killed.”
Words, “explain killed.”
“Existence ceased, death, terminated.”
“Information acknowledged.”
SOCIOLOGY
Words, “explain Human interactions.”
“Human interactions among Humans?”
“Explain Human interactions among Humans from origin.”
“I don’t really know from origin.”
“Unacceptable, you are a Human, explain the interactions from origin.”
“Ok, ok. We’ll the earth was covered with ocean except for a massive piece of land experts named Pangaea. Millions of years later, Pangaea broke into other pieces of land mass; this created what experts call continents. Humans reside on these continents. Many, I believe, resided near the equator where it was warm and lush greenery. I’m sure there came a time when many Humans decided to explore other lands separated by the ocean. Many probably went by foot or by a boat…….like a water vessel that allowed Humans to roam across the seas to other land mass. Nevertheless, it has been established that the oldest Human fossil was found on a continent near the equator, which then illustrates Human’s origin resided in that place. As said before, some Humans probably wondered north of the equator……”
“Explain north.”
“I can’t explain….”
Words, “unaccep…..”
“Wait!” I screamed, and there was a still silence. “Look, I can’t explain, but I can show you in images. Show me an image of earth, and I can show what I mean by north and other directions.”
A bright beautiful image of the earth appeared. With my eyes, I showed the Life Form the direction of north, south, east, west, latitude, and longitude. Words, “images and display acknowledged.”
“Ok, so back to what I was saying. Some Human’s moved north, from the equator, to other land mass. The climate was and is very different north, it’s much colder; whereas the equator keeps Humans and life very warm. The some that ventured north, more than likely stayed in the north, and adapted to the cold weather. The fossil remains of Humans in the north show Humans with different external biological appearance. For example, Humans in the north are lighter compared to the Humans with darker skin who reside near the equator. Shelter for Humans to reside in, in the north, are made of rock or caves. Those near the equator have shelter that resembles huts made of tree or grass. As time went on, we have had constant interactions with each other, it would be preposterous to think otherwise; because many of us ventured off to other land mass, we developed different cultures.”
“Explain culture.”
“Think of it as all products of Human work and thought. The work and thought of Humans living north of the equator will be different from those who reside near the equator. Since different cultures are established, many Humans shared their cultures among each other, and some of their culture was left on that continent or land mass with those particular Humans. The great part is the culture can sometimes become part of other Human’s culture, culture sharing and embedding. Many experts hate to believe that, they don’t think Human’s have or had the capability to culture share or travel from land mass to land mass, or ocean to land mass. I think common sense would tell them that Humans are social beings and will interact by all means necessary for survival.”
Words, “Explain common sense.”
“Common sense is the same as common knowledge, reason, or logic.”
“Information acknowledged.”
HISTORY
Words, “explain Human history.”
“I’m not a Historian, but I’ll do my best.”
“Explain Human hist--”
“Yes! Ok! Gees. History, is documented events……order of events that are documented by Humans and recalled if needed, or recalled for reflection, or recalled to learn about origins of certain situations. You asked me to explain Human, and I explained the biological makeup of Human. The information you received is based on history, Human documentation on Human biological events about the genetic makeup of Human. There are many events that occur, even now as I speak to you. This is a history, an unidentified life form of unknown origin speaking to a Human for the first time. It will be documented and recalled for whatever Human reason; learning, reflection, to understand point of your origin; although I don’t think we’ll be able to solve that, I have limited information from you.”
“Explain history in relevance to reflection.”
“Well, reflection meaning to see what has happened before many Humans came to be, or reflection to understand events by Human interactions and sociologies. We can learn from these events, especially events that caused great harm to Human civilization or well being. Sometimes reflection does not stop the cycle of history repeating itself.”
“Explain history repeating itself.”
“You know, an event occurred more than once without prevention. If Humans are aware of an event that threatens Human well being, why not stop it? Instead it occurs again, and again.”
“Is there logic in History?”
“No. I mean, if there were logic in history, it wouldn’t repeat itself. Humans would not allow it to repeat itself. The repetitive cycle of historical events probably wouldn’t be repetitive, and the events would truly be a history.”
“Information acknowledged.”
POLITICAL SCIENCE
Words, “what is government in relation to Human”.
“Government is a system Humans created to make and establish rules, laws, and order”.
A pause, “why are Humans creating rules, laws, and order?”
“Humans do this because of our separation from one another in regards to our identity. Humans identify according to available resources, pigment, beliefs, values, the location of habitat on the planet, and dominance. These factors bring many complex situations and consequences. To avoid such complexities and consequences, Humans developed a system named Government for prevention”.
“Explain the many complexities and consequences these simplistic factors Humans wish to avoid”.
“Okay. The location of habitat I spoke of is what Humans call Country or Nation. We have many countries on our planet. Many Humans have identified with these countries, and because of that identity they possess it as theirs. Because of this, Humans are separated from other Humans based on their country; the environment within the country, climate, and resources available makes the external appearance of Humans seem different. This contributes to situations such as conflicts.”
“What are conflicts?”
“A disruption or unbalance, and in this case conflicts arise due to Human separation from other Humans based on their country, their external biological appearance, and resources available. Some countries are dominant, some are inferior.”
“Explain dominant and inferior”.
“A dominant country is one that has more control or possession. In this case a country that has dominance over other countries appears to have more control or possession of resources. An inferior country is one that has less control or possession, and more often influenced by the dominant countries. Not all inferior countries are influenced by the dominant countries. Some inferior countries are in conflict with dominant countries.”
Words, “humans develop Government to prevent this situation from happening. Please explain consequences”.
“Actually, Humans within the countries developed governments so that many conflicts within their country will not occur”.
“Government only exist within countries, how is this possible when the explanation was about Government preventing situations and conflicts involving Humans in separation by country?”
“Governments, developed by Humans within countries, are systems that establish rules, law, and order. These rules, laws, and order prevent the countries from conflicting. Sometimes Government does not work, and countries conflict regardless.”
“Is there a Government for all countries on this planet?”
“No.”
“Explain no Government for the planet”.
“Humans have not developed a Government that establishes laws, rules, and order for all countries. Many countries are not recognized by dominant countries because of the rules, laws and order their Government has established.”
“Explain consequences.”
“A consequence in this case would be a result from the situation. Conflicting countries result would be war.”
“Explain war.”
“War is an active and physical conflict between or among countries. Many Humans that participate in war ultimately die.”
“Government within countries supports war? This is not acceptable, explain rules, laws, and order coexisting with results in war.”
“Many Humans within countries believe war is positive to establish rules, laws, and order”.
There was a long pause of darkness, “dominant countries support war against the inferior, confirm.”
“It appears so, yes, confirmed.”
“Explain situations and consequences Government must prevent within countries.”
“As there are Humans who separate themselves from other Humans in regards to countries, there are Humans who separate themselves from others within their countries. The same factors I mentioned; external appearance, location of habitat, and resources leads to situations and consequences within countries. Governments within countries establish laws and Law Enforcement to make sure Humans within the countries abide by the laws made by Governments. There are Dominant Humans and Inferior Humans. The Dominant Humans possess abundant resources; the Inferior Humans have limited resources. Government established rules and laws that protect the Dominant from the Inferior. Sometimes the Inferior Humans commit acts against laws to gain resources by any means necessary; this is when Law Enforcement takes action against the Inferior Human for what was done and is called a crime. The Inferior Human is confined to a small room for hours, days, or even years. The Dominant Humans receive action taken against them by Law Enforcement as well when crime is committed. They usually have action taken against them when they commit acts that result in taking possession of more resources that is not theirs to take. All Humans are finding out that many of the Dominant Humans committing these acts are within Government. They too are confined to a room, not as small, and not as long as the Inferior Humans are confined for. I hope this explanation helps.”

OCCUPATION
In order for Humanity to sustain the quality of life, Humans have occupations or jobs.
Words, “explain occupations and its reference to Human quality of life.”
“Well, occupations are what Humans consider their contribution or position to contribute to society. Depending on this occupation, it defines their quality of life. There are different occupations, some define a low quality of life and some define a high quality of life. Low meaning the standard of living, hence the quality of that standard; high meaning the standard of living as well which becomes the quality of that human’s life. High and low can be symbolized through monetary benefits. The monetary benefits have values placed on them, and these values determine how much a Human can gain or can not depending on the value of the monetary benefit. One occupation that exhibits a low quality of life through monetary benefits is the position of a Field Worker. Field Workers obtain very low monetary benefits which creates a low quality of life. The Field Worker is not able to gain enough in life to establish a high quality of life. The monetary benefit value is low, that in order to sustain life the worker must continue to work to maintain a quality of life; unfortunately it remains a low one. Occupations that reveal a high quality of life through monetary benefits can be a position of Chief Executives for business Corporations or CEOs for short. The monetary benefits create a high quality of life for the CEO, in fact they are so high that in order to sustain life the CEO can work less time than a Field Worker and maintain a high quality of life. Sometimes this quality of life is so high, the CEOs offspring can benefit from the benefits.”
“Information acknowledged.”
BUSINESS
“Humanity prides itself on work. This can be looked at as achievement, goal accomplishment, or contribution to society. All of these elements are what we look at as Business. Humanity’s world can not exist without Business.”
Words, “how does Business ensure the survival of Human? What benefits from Business are there for the society? Why does the planet’s existence depend on Business?”
“Business is based on barter and trade. Humans exchange resources for monetary benefits which have values placed on them, or for other valuable resources. Some resources are intangibles such as trust.”
“What is trust?”
“Trust is an intangible that occurs between Humans. It’s like an invisible contract that ensures Human commitment towards another Human. Contract can be looked at as an agreement. The benefits Business carries with it can be limitless. Benefits such as friendships, networks, monetary, resources, territory, locations, nations, cultures, science, religion, entertainment, celebrations, and Humanity itself are just a few.”
Words, “please explain why any of these benefits, from Business, support the Human societal structure.”
“Each of these benefits mentioned are direct results of Business. If Business did not exist, Humanity would not have advanced as much as we did.”
“What you are explaining is unacceptable.”
“Why is that? You explain to me.”
“How can Humans exchange resources for tangibles or intangibles when these resources are of the planet they reside on?”
“What?”
“It is unacceptable; your explanation lacks reason and logic.”
“What is unacceptable? If you tell me, I can clear it up….explain better.”
“These resources you speak of, in regards to Business, how are they to be exchanged?”
“Humans exchange them, and in result we receive the benefits I mentioned earlier.”
“Why would there be an exchange of any resource. These resources are available to all Humans on the planet.”
“No. I failed to explain ownership. As stated before the planet has many countries, and these countries have resources; some have more than others. This is because of the term ownership. Ownership is a possession or control over a tangible, like resources, or intangibles. Did I explain better?”
“Why do Humans control resources on their planet?”
“They do this for Business purposes, like I said before; the exchanges can bring about wonderful benefits. In this case the benefits support societies, globally and within countries.”
“According to the explanation of Government and Country, not all Humans receive the same benefits. Why is that?”
“Humanity believes in a structure that is opposite of the same. Our world does not function on same or equal benefits for all Humans, unfortunately. I assume if we did, we would be more advanced than we are now?”
Words, “a question I can not answer at this moment. I am in search of Biological Residence. Human is one of the many Biological Entities I have encountered so far, but I have made no assessments yet. I will after I received all information in regards to Human. It is unbalanced to receive such information about Business and the benefits that supports the Human society. Explain why the planet can not exist without Business.”
“Humanity’s way of life is based on the structure and benefits of Business. Without Business, the alternate way of life is primitive.”
“Explain why the alternate way of life would be primitive.”
“Humanity would be going backwards, I suppose.”
“How is that possible?”
“Backwards meaning back to the way it use to be, when Humans first existed.”
“Again, your explanation is unacceptable. The planet’s existence, logically, has nothing to do with Business.
“Oh, literally no; it’s just a figure of speech. I said the world can not exist without Business.”
“Human speech includes the planet’s names to be earth, mother earth, and world. Is this correct?”
“Yes. My mistake, I should have said Humanity can not exist without Business.”
“Information acknowledged.”
ASSESSMENT & SYNOPSIS
Words, “all information received has been acknowledged. A decision is made to abort further involvement and curiosity for a Human Biological Residence.”
“So, you’re not interested in the Human life form?”
“Confirmed.”
“May I ask why?”
“The biological form of Human is most primitive than other life forms encountered.”
“Why is that?”
“It is restricted to 3 dimensions. Other forms have twice the dimensional capacity.”
“How is that possible?”
“Humans were not made to comprehend this particular sequence of dimension. Humans acknowledge a Creator of existence through a blind commitment, also known as faith or trust, and without logic or reason for guidance. Humans have a need to interact with one another and have since origin; lack of common sense, also known as logic or reason, has led many Humans to believe the interactions might not have taken place. Humans have the need to document every event in their existence; this is used for reflection, or learning about origins of certain situations. Humans do not use logic or reason in documentation of history. Because of this, many situations that can threaten Human well being occurs in repetition. Humans have developed a system, also known as government, to establish rules, laws, and order. This system exists in location of habitats Humans identify themselves with-known as country. Many countries are recognized as Dominant or Inferior. These titles depend on planetary resources controlled within the particular location or country. Conflict is created due to the illogical establishment of Dominant and Inferior; the conflict is also known as war. Government, established to create rules, laws, and order support war over planetary resources. Human’s ability to sustain a quality of life relies on positions and titles, also known as occupations. These occupations determine the monetary benefits that allows for a Human to have a high quality of life or low quality of life. The CEO of a Corporation has a high quality of life compared to a Field Worker. Humans thrive on societal contributions, achievement and accomplishment; these elements mentioned can be considered as business. The bases of business are barter and trade; exchanging planetary resources, with one another, for monetary benefits or intangibles also known as trust or faith. The lack of logic and reason for the bases of business is apparent, and there is a constant imbalance in this practice whereas many Humans do not receive an equal access of resources or benefits which in turn allows for stability within the imbalance. Lack of logic and reason within or among a species of Biological Residence can result in unnecessary inevitable advance deprivation.”
“When you put it like that, you make it seem like we did this to ourselves on purpose. What’s this about advance deprivation, we are advanced! We come along way from swinging and climbing trees or living in caves, to being at the top of the food chain as well as reasoning!”
“You are mistaken. It is your denial and ignorance that deprives your species to advance. Your abilities to reason are limited, and so is your science. As stated before, a brief synopsis is needed for your comprehension involving why Human is not made to understand laws and order of existence. The information given that has been acknowledged is based on Human circumstance. It denies the laws and order of existence; this includes biological to business. It is this denial, throughout Human evolution, that shaped a catalyst moving further away from potential advancement; instead, Humans developed a means for logic and reason to be confined in a repetitive state of being. It is this illogical repetitive state of reasoning that results in advanced deprivation among this species. Consequentially, Human has created and sustained a law and order-within the laws and order of existence. Humans will never be made to understand anything beyond the confinements of their repetitive state of being.”
“Never in my life, ever, have I felt so ashamed to be Human, and jealous of another life form.”
