It is the impressions of separations from the total unified Mind that constitute the ongoing building of space and time. These separations allow the formation of a dual consciousness: a witnessing consciousness and a consciousness composed of the images of memory which reflects through an object. However as a result of engaging ourselves in this false separation we are also probing our own minds unconsciously through a denial of unity whilst being trapped in the illusion of a reflected creation. One thing emphasized must create its opposite. The 'still' or ring is inert to feel without the probing awareness that allows it to appear to live through blind denial. Realisation of this at all levels of awareness allows a cleaning of karma to take place as manifestation cannot be separated from creation. The probe and the ring actually emanate from the same place without return. We can withdraw the 'noise' of an increasing multiplicity back to the 'peace' of a singularity.Accession Number154.2018Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
