Chapter Six "Different Points of View: Universal Consciousness and Separate Consciousness" continued... 

<PREVIOUS PAGE

Separate Self Consciousness 

         “Every human being is obviously an individual ‘self’.  And most people are both ‘conscious’ that they are an individual self, and believe that their individual self is separate from other people, and everything else in the Universe.  Thus, people generally have ‘separate self consciousness’, and live their lives based on this consciousness.”

         “So it is ‘self’ consciousness that creates the separate consciousness?”

         “Yes.”

         “And this alters the point of view.”

         “Yes. In regards to a point of view, having separate self consciousness, means having a point of view that is limited to seeing things from only one ‘place’ - the ‘place’ where the separate self ‘is at’.  This can mean seeing things from an actual physical point of view that is limited to just the place where the person is located, such as in the car allegory.  Or it can also mean seeing things from a point of view that’s limited by the person’s beliefs, and programming.  In any case, the point of view is very limited and the perspective is ‘narrow’, when a person has separate self consciousness. There are varying degrees of ‘narrow’ mindedness of course, but even the most broad point of view that comes from just one person with separate self consciousness, must be limited and incomplete, because it is a view that is still from only one place, only from that one separate self.  Thus, it is a point of view that will have limited understanding.  And if a person has such limited understanding, what kind of thoughts are they limited to?  And if their thoughts are from such limited perception and understanding, what kind of action will they take regarding other people, and the world around them?  For the answer to that, just look around at the world.”

         “Do you mean that this creates problems in the world?”

         “All problems spring forth from this.”

         “How?”
