>>15032043Human consciousness is a self-similar reflection of the day-night cycle of Earth, like a fractal. The active, conscious mind, just like the Sun, outshines all subconscious influences. Those subconscious influences are always present, however, just as the infinitude of stars are always in the sky, whether we can see them or not. As sleep approaches, the conscious mind slips below the horizon, and the variegated influence of infinity dominates.
Think of the mind as having a primary locus (lucid consciousness) with an infinitude of secondary, unconscious influencers, of varying magnitude.All is one; your mind reflects the consciousness of every star (each a sentient collective, or "social memory complex") whose light touches it.
This duality of consciousness was well known to the ancients. The Mayan, and Aztecs used the concept of “tonal” to represent the Sun and our conscious mind and the concept of “nagual” to represent the unconscious, shapeshifting, astral mind. When these two forces meet from a given perspective, an eclipse takes place at the macrocosmic scale, and a lucid dream takes place in the microcosmic individual (as above, so below). The eclipse is thus a synchronization moment when the system becomes lucid across two or more planes of consciousness. This is the nagual viewing the tonal; it's like looking in a mirror in a lucid dream.
As a sentient entity, you are present in the minds of every entity as an unconscious influencer, one star out of an infinite variety, across all worlds, galaxies, and planes. All of humanity is linked in this way because we are all one. This is the collective consciousness. Each focal point of consciousness is the universe experiencing itself from that unique perspective.The physical realm can be thought of as the dream's consensus, finalized, formalized, and crystallized in matter.
