Dear Zero, I would never wish to be an umpire! You will have to perform that function for yourself, I'm afraid. While I am always intrigued by what our minds are up to, I can't really speak for anyone else's but my own.

I do notice though that minds such as yours can be used mightily by Being in just such ways as you envision. So if you are inspired to integrate any or every thing, I hope you go for it! Sounds interesting.

But as for a comprehensive mental understanding of anything having to do with Consciousness, here my sense is that the rational mind will always fall short, will always be the kid brother who never really gets it.

On the other hand, isn't it grand that from the viewpoint of Consciousness we can observe our minds and finally see just how they've been trying to run the kindgom in our absence. And one of the things I notice that they do very well is defend us against feeling the pain of being fully embodied here. The reason I know this is because mine tries to do this all the time. Fortunately it's not very good at it.

Many blessings, Cassandra
