  1. Wow this is cool "One possible way of envisioning the human passage is the following. We think of ourselves as originally emerging from the unknown, from darkness, nothingness or non-existence into the light of consciousness. But as consciousness develops we discover the increasing ability to see in the dark, see into the nothingness or mystery within ourselves and eventually realize that this darkness and nothingness is the divine from which we emerged and with which we are one. Thus we discover that our original darkness IS true light. Midway in this passage, divine light (darkness or unknowing) and the light of consciousness are in balance, with neither outshining the other. But as we move beyond this mid-point, divine light begins to outshine the light of consciousness until, in the end, the light of consciousness goes out and only divine light remains. From this vantage point we look back on the passage and see that although consciousness was the veil that dimmed the light, this dimming was necessary in order to make the human dimension possible. But if consciousness makes human existence possible, it is also not separate from the divine, nor does it completely hide it; on the contrary, consciousness or self is manโ€™s faculty or medium for experiencing the divine โ€” so long as it remains, that is [this is key]. Our passage through consciousness is the gradual return to the divine; we leave the divine unknowingly and in darkness, but we return knowingly and in light"

  11. I gave this Metaphor to Claude adding some other points connected with a human mind biased and an Unbiased Gods mind and it gave me this food for thought: This is a remarkably vivid metaphor. A few things make it especially striking: The image of the rats-nest is honest in a way that more flattering spiritual metaphors aren't. It doesn't suggest the mind is a diamond to be polished or a seed to bloom โ€” it acknowledges genuine disorder, tangles that have built up over time through neglect, habit, and accumulated experience. That's a more accurate starting point. The act of combing implies patience and method, not sudden enlightenment. You work through it section by section. Some knots yield easily, others resist. Some you have to approach from a different angle. It's labor, not magic. What's philosophically interesting is the endpoint you describe โ€” the Unbiased Mind of God. This maps onto a striking convergence across traditions: In Buddhism, the goal is the removal of kilesa โ€” mental defilements, distortions, the tangles of craving, aversion, and delusion โ€” revealing the innate clarity of mind that was always underneath. In Advaita Vedanta, the vrittis (fluctuations of the mind) obscure the pure awareness (Atman/Brahman) that is already present. Spiritual practice removes the obscuration, not adds something new. In Christian mysticism (Meister Eckhart, for instance), the soul must be detached โ€” emptied of preference, image, and self-will โ€” to become a clear vessel through which the divine acts. The common thread is that God's mind, or pure awareness, isn't achieved โ€” it's uncovered. The rats-nest was always covering something that was already straight and true. The one tension worth sitting with: who is doing the combing? That very agent โ€” the one working to remove bias โ€” is itself part of the tangled hair. Most traditions acknowledge this paradox. The comb is also, in some sense, made of the same stuff it's trying to straighten.
