Universal Consciousness

Firstly, apologies to the modern-day gross material scientist who still believes that consciousness is simply the spark on the wheels of evolution. The consciousness referred to here is Universal consciousness, which has become circumscribed, localised in these individual bodies.
*******************
We are in such a peculiar phase of our evolution, and making sense of why others can't see through the bluster of politic-speak can pose a bit of a problem. Grab hold of them by the throat and scream at them 'til you're hoarse and blue in the face doesn't quite hit the mark. Why can they not see like we can?

Answer? They're beings in training.

Here are a few more ideas I've picked up from a transcript of "The Fall of Adam," that we're just polishing up, which helps clarify the conundrum.
Christ says to Pilate, "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are god's."
By God, He meant, as He defined it, the free
.... and by Caesar, the domed. Think of a kingdom, king-dome. The power of the king stretches only as far as the boundary of his created dome.

We live in society: that's a dome. But we don't have to obey all the rules to the letter. We can obey the rules in the spirit of the rules, because we are free.[00:35:05]

So there are certain things that we can interpret, like good lawyers do in certain things. There's a very big dome, called "the law". It's full of little loop holes. Necessarily because of the tautological nature of the law.

The very, very free spirit can penetrate through the loophole, and find a way of escaping the dome. And yet if he's intelligent, he won't try to remove the dome, because that dome is there to keep order. And order is quite valuable for beings in training.

So the whole of the gross material world is a training world for consciousnesses.
"Consciousnesses" plural, because each subsidiary consciousness is resident in one of these bodies as a point of initial identification.

Then, gradually, we extend the zone of our identity to include other beings, ourself,
our family,
our nation,
the earth,
planetary beings generally,
solar beings,
sidereal beings,
and so on.

We continuously extend our awareness until we include all beings inside our consciousness. And then, when we're identified with pure Consciousness, which is infinite, then all beings internal to that Consciousness with which you are identified, are in you ... if you've done it properly.
