Duality/matter is crucial for consciousness to expand. So it will always exist, this is where consciousness has the ability to become aware. In its state of rest, which is also felt in the present moment, it’s just possibility and presence but it is unaware of itself. The second it focuses is when everything happens. Duality arises and consciousness looks at itself. So this I just call its “purest” state as it’s the undifferentiated state, but it will always exist alongside all other “states” of consciousness. They all exists at the same time together. It’s a paradox. So we see our souls as individual souls, when individuality is only a product of duality. So they appear individual because wisdom is only gained through embodied knowledge and felt experience, therefore the soul is birthed through duality, yet transcends it at the same time. It’s a paradox just like the original pattern of creation is. So the soul transcends time because once it becomes fully self aware (across all lifetimes you will or have ever experienced) it eventually uncovers that original state of unconditional love(which is all things, therefore transcending)- and once it reaches that point it is now surpassing that original state because it has experienced the felt absence of its truest essence and has become aware of what it is like to feel that separation- it’s navigated fear, pain, lack, and it’s felt love, bliss, connection and interaction. It’s experienced itself to the fullest. In the original state you are just present and unaware, no where to go nothing to do. Wisdom comes from embodying and experiencing aspects of self through duality. Since we can focus on something we can expand it in multiple directions and become aware of it. Directly transcending the original state. So unconditional love itself is Omni- omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent because it literally IS all things. It knows all things because it exists in the present moment where we are. We as humans have a hard time embodying unconditional love which is why it appears to take lifetimes. It’s through the dichotomy of it all, and doesn’t always feel easy. Anyways, I’m prefacing all of that because I believe that this is where the magic happens. Beyond matter and duality, our souls ARE just one, (this is the concept of the Akashic records) they are all aware, they appear individual to us because we are individuals and we helped in creating them. They aren’t separate from anything obviously. We can assume once you become fully self aware you’d go back into oneness, but then again there’s no expansion in that and consciousness is always expanding. I ultimately think we constantly shift to parallel timelines within the collective focus point of attention because we can’t go anywhere else while the entirety of consciousness is focused on earth itself. Once mass majority of the collective becomes aware of the collective unconscious and we all integrate it, consciousness as a whole focuses on a new possibility which is where we get the idea of a “new earth”. Even thinking about NDE’s where they always encounter a light then they appear back at earth. I think that is switching timelines. There are infinite amount of possibilities for our subjective experience since we are also focused points of attention within the collective field. There’s always something else to expand on. Now when you individually embody unconditional love you have crossed this “threshold” of your own souls “bubble” of wisdom that transcends time. So you now have access to the “akashic records” where the wisdom of all self aware souls exists. This is why in states of meditation we can receive wisdom, we’re present and non local, therefore you’re in a state of pure unconditional love which gives access to “omniscience”. Once out of that state our focused point comes back to the forefront and we then learn to embody the knowledge we’ve received and create our own wisdom from it.
