Why Consciousness is 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."
