F.: So, in conclusion, it should now be understood that for 14.5 billion years, awareness has been functioning in this universe. Then, as a result of innumerable cosmic events that just happened, for the last 700 million to 1.1 billion years, consciousness has been manifesting on planet earth in something with a nervous system, namely, plants. [Note that light-energy reflects off of objects without a nervous system—such as the earth’s moon—but is absorbed into plants which have a nervous system.] Then, 200 million years ago, consciousness began manifesting in mammals, via plants. Then, about 4.5 million to 14 million years ago (archaeologists are still debating their timelines) consciousness began manifesting via plants in human-like mammals; and then in the last 200,000 years, consciousness has been manifesting via plants in the space called “humans” (or homo sapiens). Today, persons may think that they are conscious as they walk, talk, drive, work, etc., yet they actually have no awareness at all. Thus, they sleepwalk across the stage of the “Drama of the Lie” because they are caught up in the “Dream of the Planet.”

That noted, do not confuse the teachings that discuss “the manifesting and unmanifesting of consciousness via plants in humans” over the last 200,000 years with the eternal presence of awareness. Awareness is infinite and limitless. The manifesting of consciousness in mammals and humans on earth via plants is the new kid on the block, as far as the cyclings of consciousness in plants, mammals, and humans are concerned. Too, this universe is the new kid on the block in terms of all universes. All who suggest that “we” or this universe or this planet are special are nothing more than persons, self-absorbed in their ego-states and thus feeling “pride.” The invitation is always to find the lies and to dismiss the ego-states that result in the egomania which in turn supports the false belief in dualities and separation and thus drives human suffering. Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
Tomorrow: “So I take it from your recent postings about humans (mutants with bastardized consciousness) that you wouldn’t agree with those of us who believe that all human life is precious and to be respected?”
