It is not until the soul has learned to truly overcome all of the seperation illusions in 3rd and 4th density and let go of a desire to be an individual that they are ready for the omnipresent non-seperation reality of the 5th-7th dimensions. Or that is the way that I understand it. David Wilcock has been studying the Law Of One material for over a decade. He would have a much more articulate and accurate explanation than the one that I am presenting here.
So I think that if you go strait to throwing out all aspects of your individuality while here in the 3rd dimension then you will fail to learn all of the lessons that are supposed to be tought while in this state of consciousness. So a philisophical / metaphysical understanding of the fact that we are all actually part of the same consciousness is important information to have if one is setting up moral and ethical rules to apply to thier life and how they interact with society.
Accepting this as a truth is what we are supposed to do. Actually living as though we have no individuality in this domain is not what we are supposed to do. It is one of those Zen paradoxes that you have to ponder and make up your mind about yourself.

I've got to admit something, tone...anytime I see a statement that begins with
'According to such and such..' or that we're
supposed to do a certain something, or that something is
supposed to happen this way - I'm automatically hesitant of what's to follow. I'm familiar with David Wilcock's work and I'm familiar with the Law of One. I'm also familiar with the Tao te ching, the Bible, and a number of other books and opinions. Which one do I endorse? None of them.
There's an amount of truth in just about everything, which also means the opposite is true as well. The idea that a greater sense of separation can be expected after/during/leading up to the shift doesn't gel for me. Also, the idea that we have anything to
learn is also inaccurate. Any lesson that validates our perception of time (as linear), or that a
process is necessary - to me - is simply inaccurate. The only thing that we
ought to do, that we
should do, is to see through the illusion that defines limitation as an unavoidable ingredient to this experience.
I would guess that you once belonged to an organized religion, possibly christianity?, then moved beyond that to embrace a greater truth. (Me too, btw). But when you talk of
learning lessons and
"Accepting this as a truth is what we are supposed to do"- it tells me that you're attaching yourself to truths that should otherwise be considered transient. It's only true
right now,
for you. It's important to recognize that you can't grasp the next truth if you're still holding onto yesterday's truth. I don't mean to harp on you and please don't take this the wrong way, but I've seen how the Law of One work in particular has managed to hit some of the same key notes that will feel especially familiar for Christians. The kind of notes that divide.
Beyond the lessons of this teacher and that author, what feels like truth? If something doesn't gel, don't just repeat it with the disclaimer of 'according to' but continue to do what all of us have BEEN doing....questioning EVERYTHING. That includes the opinions of so-called
enlightened ones.
I agree with Practitioner in that the challenges of truly understanding how it all works has so much to do with removing ourselves from the programming and the
accepted laws that define
this dimension. The egoic mind can't understand it because the egoic mind is forever concerned with the future and the past...but never the present. The truth is that the present
now is all there is. The ego will attach itself to different individuals and different books because it (the ego) LOVES to be RIGHT. But the whole concept of right and wrong is part of this maze we're trying to get out of! Just as the idea of linear time is also part of the maze/prison/maya.
just my two cents worth.
peace and light to all
