They have said that there are three worlds in creation. Above is the Celestial, a world of pure energy and spirit. Below is the Telestial, a world of pure matter. The nexus of the two is the Terrestrial, a world that is a dynamic nexus of the Celestial and Telestial. True matter is really true energy condensed, cold and coalesced. Can we conclude, the Telestial worlds are Celestial worlds condensed, cold and coalesced?
Consciousness is sweeping. Surely, it is the mind of the Universe. In the way that matter is condensed energy, so individual consciousness is concentration of the Universal mind.

This formula, shows a direct ratio of matter and energy within a given event. Might we conclude, there is a direct ratio between the sweeping consciousness of the Universe and the individual awareness? As matter is derived from energy and will be returned to the same, we derive our individual consciousness from, and will be returned to the Universal mind.
The Principle of Conservation declares that energy may be converted but never lost. They say that Elohym made the individual mind in the image of the Universal mind. We sometimes call the Universal mind Tao, Brahman, IAOH, Maabben, god or goddess. The myriad of names is irrelevant except that they reveal our ignorance and desire to know. We must hospitably receive the report of reason. We sometimes call the individual mind jive, spirit, animus or anima. Again the myriad of names is irrelevant, except that they reveal our ignorance and desire to know. We must hospitably receive the report of reason. These also reveal the wealth of human culture. The voice of truth — even half-truths — must be reasonable and clear. So! We will arbitrarily use a name for the unnameable mind, and jiva for the individual mind that survives even the death of the body.
The jiva has various parts -an ego, an id, an anima, an animus, & al. It seams that God has various parts — an ego, an id, an anima, an animus, & al, except that we call them by different names — The Brahma, nature, god, goddess, & al. Together, these parts are artificial categories, but they are useful. They are Maya, the mask of personality an actor uses to portray the part within the illusion of the play. The occultist perceives Maya and becomes more of a director within that play.
