Some years ago I wrote a paper on the "Plasmaforming" of human bodies, as a form of colonization by non-human intelligence. I even presented it to the "Invisible College".
By 'plasma' I was referring to room temperature effects; there is 'cold plasma' but I was really using a metaphor.
I ran across something in some old yoga texts, that led me to formulate the notion that the purpose of 'yoga' always has been to enhance 'colonization' of the human body.

If there's an here and there in consciousness, I guess?
My actual opinion on consciousness is roughly an outcome of an "encounter". That is, the body and the mind, as separate "entities" reunite and generate some processes. Depending on the body side constitution, the mind would be expressed differently, hence for human; consciousness/awareness.
So I'm not sure if, within the "self", there's an here and there. When house becomes home, it takes, or absorbs, some of the "self" qualities, with which consciousness is influenced, that's what I think.
I mean, the shape of the house, the environment/sector, decorations (or absence of) are all bound to the "self" living in it. And living in it also shape the "self", somehow like a part of its body.
To be honest, I'm not fond of appropriation (though consciousness seems to be all about appropriation), I don't consider the body as "mine" in my "self" perspective, I'm loaning it to experience that consiousness.
Anyway, what I am getting to is humans are capable of budding off at least one shell (boundary of self).
You sure are interested in Fae reproduction systems!
There's this one 'psychological operation type' that I find fascinating, but generally abhorrent. I've noted various groups using it, to attempt social engineering.
It's a variant on the false flag alien invasion scenario. It's a low key type. But that makes it much more cost effective to do, and ultimately extremely powerful.
Now, sometimes the authors of the operation know full well what they are doing, but other groups are being 'used' so to speak, and are doing the operation without realizing it, they themselves being 'true believers'.
One of the best examples is the 'core story' that was cooked up at a Denny's by Jacques Vallee's friends.
Now that STORY has LEGS. It has spread out and done so much extreme harm.
Ultimately that's why some people choose to use "Twilight Language" to discuss such things, as they don't want to release another version of that into the world.
Another great example is ATS's own "@str0".
He was another infection vector for a 'core story'. It was done with military approval or at least the person in question was a kid of a worker at a classified site. I'm not certain. Almost nobody is an 'amazing kreskin'. It breaks all the rules and is generally not allowed.
Another GREAT EXAMPLE was the attempted power grab by 'pseudo-anarchists' is how they are viewed, the UK Crowley'ian based 'armageddon.co.uk' initiative, which had their ALLICE alien AI thing.
I can list many of these type of operations.
So here's the schtick:
Most of these groups think that aliens are real and that yes, eventually we will meet them.
But at least the upper tiers in the organization know that they haven't arrived yet, not in any enduring way.
But what they do is a 'war of the worlds broadcast' type thing, to convince people that 'the other' is already here, and that we must learn to communicate with it. They either promote the 'event' or more powerfully, they make it 'esoteric' and leak it. Given human curiosity, that is far more effective.
To cause social change, to throw off the 'great lie' that infected the world.
Or, for some groups, as a way to enforce their will on the world.

Interesting!
I have read reports that poor FiFi was feeding off grandmothers cheeks when she passed days ago.
What other parasites may influence our thoughts and decisions?
There's another form of 'budding' that humans do constantly, that is not often talked about, and certainly not understood. They DIE.
. . . certain aspects of humans faded away to nothing with death

It pretty much goes back to your "strings" metaphor earlier as I understand it. The ramified "lower part" exhibits a kind of "self", or differentiation, properties similar to consciousness, without necessarily developping awareness within each "branch".
I may not put consciousness on a pedestral, it is nonetheless a fascinating topic. But I have a particular interest for patterns within the feedback loop of a body and its environment; how the two develop themselves from each other. Subsequently, it unfolds on relationships within a group of consciousness and the "cloud" it forms from each individual within the group.
I understand your view (at least I think I am), though I disagree about "boundaries" of self. I believe it is rather "forged" while one's growth, and more data either become more available, or comprehensive, hence awareness growth.
If I use KPB's water metaphor; primordial water is mind, and the body "swim" in the water. Consciousness, as I see it, would be an ice structure, it requires both a water, and a body "swimming" for an ice structure to be build. In other words, the structure, like any, needs a foundation upon which to be build and an "intelligence" to actualize it.
