thetans Definition

In the belief system of the UFO religions and religious groups such as the Unarius Academy of Science and the Ardblue Group, a thetan is an eternally-existing spiritual entity or conscious being that constitutes the individual self or soul of a person according to Dianetics and Scientology. The term is considered synonymous with English spirit, soul, and self, specifically in a Scientological context. In these belief systems, a thetan can be freed from the body through various spiritual techniques.
