Thetans have been described in the Church of Scientology in a number of ways.

* A "thetan is an immortal spiritual being; the human soul."

* "The being who is the individual and who handles and lives in the body."

* "A thetan is not a thing, a thetan is the creator of things."

* A thetan is "the person himself& — not his body or his name, the physical universe, his mind, or anything else; that which is aware of being aware; the identity which is the individual. The thetan is most familiar to one and all as ''you''."
