Mystical Philosophy of Universal Consciousness<br />

separate entities, not realizing that they are all parts of a whole organism. Even as you breath air<br />

you are communing with the atmosphere. As you breath, minute particles of your lungs leave<br />

your body through the breath and go into the atmosphere. This happens to all beings on earth.<br />

Thus as you breath you are ingesting the particles of the bodies of other people from your<br />

community and from around the world since the world atmosphere carries particles across the<br />

world in a short time. Further, you are communing with the cosmic particles of dust which have<br />

traveled across the universe into the earth’s atmosphere .<br />

Modern medical science and genetics reveal that while human beings appear to be different<br />

on the surface (sex, race, etc.) in reality all human beings are remarkably alike. They make use of<br />

the same food and their bodies are made up of the same substances although these are arranged<br />

in slightly different ways. Skin coloration is mostly a difference based on the arrangement of<br />

pigmentation in the skin. Some people have more and some less but all have it in varying<br />

quantities, therefore all are in reality the same.<br />

Sexuality is another example. Upon close examination, men and women are found to possess<br />

the same organs although arranged slightly differently and exhibiting different emphasis on<br />

certain levels of development. For example, the male penis has its counterpart in the female<br />

clitoris, the male testicles in the female ovaries and the male prostate with the female uterus. It is<br />

this understanding of the oneness of the androgynous nature which underlies male and female<br />

human bodies which is at the heart of Tantric philosophy. When this understanding is reached<br />

and integrated in the human heart it constitutes an extension (Tantra) from limited consciousness<br />

based on a sexual (dualistic) understanding to an awareness of the non-duality which is the<br />

ultimate reality. Thus while <strong>sexuality</strong> exists as a practical reality of life the practitioner of Tantra<br />

discovers the a-<strong>sexuality</strong> of existence as well, thereby expanding in consciousness to encompass<br />

all (<strong>sexuality</strong> and androgyny, duality and non-duality, etc.)<br />

Many more examples could be given. The point is that the true identity of a human being is<br />

not sexual, not the body, mind, senses or anything which is in the realm of time and space<br />

because the realm of time and space is the realm of duality and illusion. Sexuality is only an<br />

expression of the personality based on an emphasis of the spirit which has tended toward a pole<br />

within the range of human consciousness (male-polarity, female polarity). Human existence is<br />

based on the karmic desires of an individual soul which is expressed within the limits allowed by<br />

the genetic basis of the organism. This means that the spirit can express as the DNA of the<br />

particular life form allows it to. These limits are divinely ordained and this is why they follow set<br />

rules (cosmic law-MAAT). Thus the spirit can manifest (incarnate) as a male or female within<br />

the given species. This is the range of expression which is allowed by the Divine Will which<br />

created and supports all life in the universe.<br />

Simply stated, the spirit operates through the genes and is limited to the modes of expression<br />

which are dictated by the genes which fall within the range of either male at one extreme or<br />

female at the other. However, human beings are in reality the same essential being. In other<br />

words, all human beings are of the self-same nature. This factor becomes most evident when the<br />

egoistic feelings and sentiments of desire are cleansed from the heart. When this occurs the<br />

underlying unity which supports the appearance of duality, which expresses as <strong>sexuality</strong>,<br />

becomes most evident. These are only a few examples out of hundreds which can be presented to<br />
