Consciousness is Insignificant

A Course in Miracles says, "Consciousness, the level of perception, was the first split introduced into the mind after the separation, making the mind a perceiver rather than a creator. Consciousness is correctly identified as the domain of the ego." 

People think consciousness is really significant because we want what we made to be important. So we glorify it and measure it and attach specialness to it when it's really just a symbol of separation from our Source. It's separation, because in order to have consciousness, you have to have more than one thing. You have to have a subject and an object. You have to have something else to be conscious OF. That's where twoness came from to replace oneness. That's what makes the resulting symbolic illusory opposites, polarities, and dualities.

So from twoness springs forth multiplicity, but it's all symbolic of the original idea of separation. Multiplicity breeds chaos. But underneath it all there are basic ideas, and these ideas can only seem to be real when you experience yourself as being apart from oneness - for example, the ideas of scarcity and death. There can be no scarcity in fullness, but once you have ideas like separation and opposites, then you have the possibility of all kinds of weird things showing up. ~ Your Immortal Reality
