differently, there are two fundamental possibilities for human consciousness: the dualistic and the unified plane. The majority 143 UNITY AND DUALITY

precise theoretical knowledge of the unified plane of consciousness is misread and therefore sought on the dualistic 143 UNITY AND DUALITY

totally attached and adapted to this state of consciousness. And even when you learn about this other 143 UNITY AND DUALITY

will be anticipated. On the unified plane of consciousness, because there are no more opposites to be 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING

must be as limitless as the reach of consciousness. Hence life is limitless in its possibilities for 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE
nature of life on the absolute plane. Human consciousness is incapable of conceiving of the possibilities that 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE

this individual would not assume human form. The consciousness would not seek this particular expression. When you 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE

of the dualistic misconception operative within all human consciousness. Actually, there is only one power. This is 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT

This, in short, is the state of human consciousness as a whole. When you begin to become 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
not entirely accurate to state that the universal consciousness manifests. It would be more correct to say 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
notice the life principle's ever-present power as autonomous consciousness or as energy. The separated ego-personality possesses both 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
to use. The same applies to the energy. Consciousness and energy are not separate aspects of universal 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
life principle's basic characteristics, whether expressed as autonomous consciousness or as energy, is that it is spontaneous 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
existential conflict between the ego and the universal consciousness. The spontaneously manifesting universal consciousness has nothing to 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
and the universal consciousness. The spontaneously manifesting universal consciousness has nothing to do with religious precepts of 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
new ways to experience itself. As an individual consciousness separates itself further and further from its original 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
so often say, the state of humanity's present consciousness creates the world you live in, including its 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
is an expression of humanity's overall state of consciousness. One of the physical laws expressing this state 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
of the physical laws expressing this state of consciousness is the law of gravity. It is a 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
special law that pertains only to your dualistic consciousness. The law of gravity parallels, or expresses on 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
the sole form of individual existence. Spheres of consciousness that have transcended the dualism of this plane 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER
have different physical laws, corresponding to their overall consciousness. Human science, even from the merely materialistic point 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER

The identical laws apply to the level of consciousness, although there they are less obvious. It requires 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
experience as any outer fact of life. When consciousness is harmonious and in accordance with the universal 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
laws, the rhythm occurs regularly. The dimension of consciousness is not three-dimensional, as the physical organism is 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
