‘One Universal Consciousness’ – One Ring To Bind Them All
It’s all about control.
“…One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
and in the darkness, bind them…”
– J.R.R. Tolkien
Look at the manifestation of the ‘One Source’ – one God, one Self, one Universal Consciousness. Look at the effect of this concept – it actually creates division.
When we forget or ignore what we are, we become serious, heavy and reactionary, bound to ideas and judging others which separates us.
Pure consciousness is an individual realisation of reality – the light in the illusion of darkness. On the contrary, the one universal consciousness is the darkness we currently live in; this is not pure as it desires gain.
Pure consciousness doesn’t want more.
We aren’t all one consciousness. If we were, then when one was enlightened, all would be enlightened, but we aren’t. Enlightenment is an individual realisation that sees the unity in all. It is not the illusion of oneness, but a simultaneous recognition that all phenomena is our teacher, reminding us of that which sees. Thank goodness 🙂
We have to make effortless effort.
This is a very subtle journey.
