Within my First-Second Degree of Illumination bubble consciousness, I experience the concepts of “Source” and “Oneness” in terms of separation and competition. This sense of prompts me to view life in terms of ME vs Not ME.
From this perspective, I am not the Source or One. I seek, pray, or connect in some way to Source or Oneness – because I’m conscious it is NOT ME. Even when I think Source is IN me, “it” appears as a separate concept competing with others.
An Illusion of Separation
I manage this “trick” of conscious separation by means of aspects I defend. Each aspect seems separate from others because each DOES something different from its siblings. Yet, they are actually all functions of ONE consciousness – ONE Source ME.
Separation Within Oneness
ONE (Source) provides an illusion of separation by flowing consciousness through functions of:
- Will that provides power for…
- Intent that provides beliefs and direction for…
- The Interpreter that translates belief thoughts into…
- Experience in the form of emotion, sensual awareness, judgments, and etc.
This process returns accounting back through the various functions to Source:
- Will accounts to Source by returning an appreciation for separation.
- Intent accounts to Will by returning a sense of purpose…
- The Interpreter accounts to Intent by returning value and meaning for beliefs and direction…
- Experience accounts to The Interpreter by providing validation for interpreted belief thoughts…
All without actually fragmenting ONE Source. Ingenious!
