I've heard all this recycled poop over and over again with no new insight into the theory. Just same ol' you are everyone and everything so be nice.
Anyone care to add new information or we going to rinse and repeat?

Let's play a fun game of Apples to Apples. Tell me what kind of Universal insights I can receive by "waking up" to this God Consciousness idea; and I'll tell you if I've already been there, without pretending to be my own little Divine Engine. Ready, set, go!
I don't see any reason to teach my children that they are little gods. Nor do I see it as healthy to teach them that they are of the same consciousness as the white-supremacist Neo Nazi marching in the square; or the loquaciously bigoted fundamentally racist Christian damning the husbands and wives of deceased American soldiers; or the lunatic reigns of Gaddafi and Osama Bin Laden. If you ask me, that's a rather negative thing to teach my children.
If you want your children/future children to grow up thinking they must show kindness to rapists, tyrants, murderers, kidnappers, psychopaths and the like: that is your own choice. I would think that you'd be smarter than to encourage your children to embrace such walks of life as "a part of themselves".
Wow. I haven't encountered personal affronts of this nature from anyone, other than the immature spiritualist; who's ego is so wide he believes he is the center of the Universe. So, he attacks the character of his opponent, rather than propose an advancement to the poorly built theory which has been presented. A theory which, at it's core, is nothing more than an amalgamation of watered-down New Age ideologies, coupled with narcissistic egomania.
I didn't agree that it was a picturesque theory either. I ended my initial response by stating it was too flawed to ever be the one Great Truth. But, you know how the acolyte mindset can be. They'll defend their theory with gnawed and gnashing teeth to the bitter end. Everyone wants to believe they are their own God, and that the life they live is somehow their own creation. It helps them cope with the—often—petty little insecurities they have to endure to get through each day.
So, rather than exercising to rebuke depression and eating binges: instead, they believe that they're testing themselves. That they must "connect" with the lazy, overweight consciousness.
Rather than try harder, or set lower standards for a job: they hold their own prejudices and instead tell themselves this is of their own doing, and they'll find that "perfect" job if they just believe in themselves.
I'd applaud your lacking grasp of Quantum Mechanics... if it weren't so lacking. Yes, we are all "connected" through atom structure. However, that does not mean consciousness is atomic in nature. Consciousness is energetic in nature. So, yes, in some respects it can never be destroyed, so some semblance of life-after-death exists. However, all consciousness is not linked together.

The physical plane in one of 7 "levels." Evolving through one to perfection would allow you to enter the next level to evolve there. So on and so forth.
- Became aware of your soul/spirit body?
- Astral projection
- Higher intuition
- Love and Peace wherever you go
- Better Health
- More rest
- Wisdom
Please, real answers to those. Not the standard rhetoric you have been leaning on.
Not sure if you are referring to me in that first statement but I am sure you are. My rebuttal: You and muzzleflash are the only two attacking people in this thread.

So, my question to you: why did you respond as if it was directed at you? Americanist and ImNotAnother are not two accounts from one person, are they?
I'm curious what the "standard rhetoric" I've been leaning on is.

Without hate, anger, and racism you would not know what love was.

One day, some kind of event will happen to you. It will be a great event because that first moment of true enlightenment is mind blowing. Life changing and eye opening...all 3 of them.
I hope you remember me telling you that because you will not find words to explain it and everyone will want to tell you that it isn't possible.
Cheers
