“More Whole” and “More Whole” Forms of Unity Consciousness

As regards our ultimate nondual unity state, the idea, of course, would be to spend some time getting used to this, your Original Face, the nondual Suchness or Thusness or Isness of this and every moment. It is your own Primordial Being and Becoming, the groundless Ground and sourceless Source and goal-less Goal of evolution itself, the summum bonum of a human being—or any sentient being, for that matter. That pure nondual or unity state—especially its “Emptiness” component—can itself include a vast, even infinite number of items—especially in its “Form” component—and this includes things like, for example, the 6-to-8 structures (or Forms) of consciousness that we have already reviewed. And we will be adding a few other items that this unity consciousness can incorporate, increasing its “Form” or “Fullness” aspect, and thus becoming a unity that is actually more and more Whole. Remember, as we just saw, you can experience this unity state, this unity of Emptiness and Form, at virtually any of the 6-to-8 levels of development. But if I experience it at amber, I will indeed experience a direct unity with the entire world I am aware of—which means everything from the physical universe (atoms and molecules and stars and galaxies, etc.) to the biological universe (plants, reptiles, mammals, Gaia, etc.) to the mental universe (in this case, everything from infrared archaic to amber mythic, which is as far as I’ve developed at that point). But, as we noted earlier using “mythic Enlightenment” as an example, in the mental universe, if I am indeed at mythic, there are several worlds that are still “over my head” and that I therefore cannot be one with—I am not one with the orange rational world, or the green pluralistic world, or the turquoise integral world, and so on. But I will not directly experience this as a gap or a lack—I will not be aware of this at all. All I will experience is the pure unity of my world (without ever knowing that “my world” is actually more limited and narrower than it could be—that my “unity experience” could potentially be even deeper and more Whole).

So that is why we want to continue to learn about aspects of the manifest world of evolving Form—because the more of that world we are aware of, then the more Whole (and therefore more inclusive, more moral, more embracing, more expansive, with greater and greater depth) my “unity consciousness” will become, expanding into more and more of the world of Form with an ever-increasing Fullness, and thus likewise expanding the very nature of the union of Emptiness and Form—expanding Enlightenment itself.

And so, in that spirit of greater expansiveness and greater Wholeness and greater depth, we will be introducing, in the following chapters, a few more items (called “quadrants” and “lines”) that will, with our already included states and structures, add to this increase in expansiveness, add items that not only are of great interest in themselves,
