Very well, liken it to a firewall on a network, many of the ports are closed, maybe even pings are dropped. Earth is an intranet. This is to protect the information on the network, only what is requested through the proper channel/port is allowed through. This serves the creation, not just a self, it serves all selves on this planet. Does it create seperation? Yes. Is it impenetrable? No. The purpose is that by learning how to program your port list to allow/deny access you are able to send/receive data from the extranet or larger network. This inherently is a catalyst to learn about your system. When you know how to program the system in place, not textbook idealism, but what is actually in the firmware and software in situ, some legacy, some right out of the box - well then you know how the intranet works. You don't just read a book on network security and jump into an existing corporate scale system and everything is right out of the book. You are probably going to have to ask the admins for history and advice before you get a functional understanding.
Likewise there are always those that try to exploit a security system.
In this case the data on the network is your mind/body/spirit complex, and you are the author of the port list. The admins and techs are there to assist but it is ultimately your responsibility to decide what you and/or your workgroup to decide how your data is accessed beyond a set of archetypal boundaries of the firmware/hardware and fundamental purpose of the network.
