Craig is a reality-based, carbon-based, upright bi-pedal symmetrical sentient primate with opposable thumbs and an enclosed spine and braincase, the product of millions of years of ongoing evolution.

Craig was born 35 Terran days before January 1st 1950, the exact middle of the 20th century (roman calendar), in an automobile factory-oriented corporate city-state along the border of michigana, a former Chippewa tribal land on the North American Plate at Lat43N01 Long83W41, on a water planet called, oddly enough, Terra in the Terran Solar System, The Local Group, in the hillbilly section of a spiral arm of The Milky Way Spiral Galaxy, Type Sbc, 28,000 light years from the galactic core.

Craig chose a human group to grow into that he had worked with previously on many occasions. He entered a nine month old male fetus in the womb of a 24 year old female host-mother, and came to first-breath during a Thanksgiving weekend.

The fetus was genetically created by a mixed-gender couple in the female host-mother and by a host-father, who contributed DNA to Craig and three other male nest-mates. The zygote was made and grown in a traditional way without GMO's or any recombinant DNA therapy.
 

After first-breath, Craig was harvested, registered, tagged, then assigned to and nurtured by the same two host-parents that grew the fetus that he was occupying. (To this day, he enjoys a relationship of varying degrees with his host-parents and nest-mates).

At 11 solar years, he was assigned a government identity number and registered with a federal agency. Craig attended training and indoctrination institutions for fifteen solar years.

Craig's mature form is right-brained, left-handed and dominant in language and art. It has a well-developed neo-cortex allowing him to enjoy deep and satisfying relationships with family, friends, partners and the world in general, intellectually, physically and spiritually. It has near photographic vision-memory, useful in learning new languages and remembering data.

Craig also has synesthesia, and frequently smells colors, feels aromas or sees fractal geometry in ocean waves.
Craig's host body has a Gaelic / Celtic ancestral genetic heritage and is subject to temporary imbalances in serotonin levels and requires periodic supplements of n-3 linolenic and linoleic acids and other blood
cholesterol adjustors. It has a medium frame, a great design for the compact inflexibility of early 21st century travel by surface or air.

Craig only eats plants and things that grow in the Terran deepwater oceans.

Craig's host body has a same-sex orientation that has grown to maturity from a polymorphous sexuality. Craig is currently in a same-sex state-registered monogamous domestic partnership since 1989 with Mexican herbalist Alberto Vazquez.

Craig developed quickly, realizing at an early age that he was more than the sum all the things I've described so far. Yet, when he had learned enough about all the various cultural and social institutions and supernatural beliefs built around popular creation myths, he began to reject them one by one. He actively sought out teachers and counsel that would resonate with his coagulating philosophy. Sometimes this search has taken him to the four corners of the world.

Craig has always sought out direct contact and experience with other seekers . Craig experiments with his life. Some of it has led to dead-ends.
Some of it still resonates and shapes his reality.

Craig thinks that that Time is not really a continuum. Craig thinks It is only one aspect of reality that exists in an relativity-paradigm of stacked events and bubbles of separate moments, all of it happening or occurring at the same time.

Craig believes that everything in the universe flickers on and off in a subatomic world of probabilities and blinking neutrons.

Craig believes he is already "dead" and on the other side, "watching" the paradigm unfold while "living" multiple lives in the Continuum simultaneously.
Craig does not believe he is a human being having a spiritual experience. Craig believes he is a spiritual being having a human experience.
Craig thinks all of this is true, yet all of this is false. And that all of this is a complicated, nuanced paradox that is both true and not true.

Craig believes he has an unknown purpose in existence. He believes he is probably supposed to try to find a way to rise above the distracting noise and monkey mind of incarnation and become a tool for a Higher Purpose. What that higher purpose might be, has not ever been revealed satisfactorily to
him nor can he recall any specific details from previous experiences.

He hopes that it had something to do with planting flowers and painting landscapes and having a sense of compassion, remorse, forgiveness and humor. But he has not been able to confirm this.
