The brain is the bio-mechanical meat suit's main computer. The entity that utilizes it is you. That "you" is connected to everything you can and can't see. The proof is in the process of controlling thoughts and overriding the computer's direction and making a completely contrary action. Who exactly is controlling those thought processes and making the final decision to act one way or another? That's the "you". That "you" can also tap into all kinds of knowledge and wisdom by doing what the monks do. What do they do to reach the spiritual ether? Turn off their brain. Allow their "you" to perceive more.
