The cognitive identity claim used to argue for dualism does not apply when working from these absolute heights. If
the only thing I know with certainty, I am, I exist; then I must be inferred by all in the same way. We are never alone!
I named him Friday (Daniel Defoe)
Away and beyond the temporal planes nest an unconditional state of affairs the Hindu calls Atman. The endless vistas of Atman are
inaccessible to travelers burdened with binary baggage of the mental world. Light travelers find it easy and most natural to zip and skip
across the endless worlds of cosmic awareness. Mortal associations no longer seem to link together logically as we step across the
etheric threshold of timeless eternity. Here now at a point in spacelessness, our tiny planet and the universe in which it spins, nest. All
things that come to be already exist as the mystical imagination of Cosmic Divinity. To know Atman is to awaken into a forgotten
familiarity of your own understanding.
As understanding propels us to the center of truth, we gain unfathomable momentum easily overcoming the speed of light. We quickly
penetrate the etheric sheath bursting with a big bang of uniform silent stillness; awakening to a quite world of endless horizons
stretching into the formless- purity of form. Our bare feet trod the cool grass of a mystical garden the Hebrew calls Eden; where Adam
was formed in God’s image from moisten dust of this plane, archetype clay of simple shapes bored by Divine Ideas.
Atman is the birth place of the Atma, our own identical individualities. Set apart by experience, we know one another by way of empathy
and we are seen as shining stars sparkling about in a cosmic sea of unconditional freedom. Atman is the birthplace of Iness, or i-
ness,coined the Atma by ancient Indian Sages which is synonymous with the soul body of Hebrew, Christian and Islamic faiths. When
we talk about the Sanskrit term ‘Atma’ we are talking about the same soul body referred to by the majority of religious beliefs.
Just as creatures of the deep, Atmas take on a form or body that is best suited for a particular plane of operation. The individual soul is
marked only by the experience acquired under conditional restraints of the lower planes, the first of which is termed the etheric plane.
The conditional properties of the etheric plane are the frame works that fence in the painful playground of the school of hard-knocks.
The Atma takes on an etheric jiv-Atma body like a set of clothes or costume. The jiv-atma is the mask of soul, the first manifestation of
the archetype Atman properties by way of negation, limitation or undefined schema- all things that come to be already exist within the
Atman consciousness. The etheric plane is sometimes referred to as the mental plane with aplus-one characteristic illustrated as a
sheath enveloping both Mental and Etheric Planes. Each of these universes must have corresponding bodies of awareness or the
experience of such would be impossible without the * Iness of the inquirer.
We might consider our humble beginnings as the Big Bang of consciousness- no longer a subject object relation of rocks, dust,
gases, and things; but the shadows of ever- expanding awareness, illuminating the dark unknown of our universe.
