Insights on Awakening (Part 2)

The moment Consciousness vibrates, it expresses itself through limited forms. The Infinite expresses itself as the finite. The Timeless, the Eternal, the Unborn expresses itself as the born, the time, the form. The Infinite assumes the finite within Itself and all you ever see through your phenomenal perceptions is actually Consciousness.
We clearly see that phenomenal forms tend to evolve towards sentiency. It is not that these forms contain Consciousness - it is Consciousness assuming energy forms. What we really are is not the body carrying Consciousness, but rather Consciousness carrying the body. Truly said, we are not 'conscious beings', we are Consciousness expressing itself as human forms.
