Response:

The differences one form of consciousness displays from another form has to do with the degree of self-awareness of that being and consequently the nervous system through which it then interfaces with the world. As we learn to direct our attention inward to the source of our being, instead of outward through the senses, we experience our connectedness to all beings, all forms of consciousness, and so we escape the prison of our separate ego self. We can gain the ability to feel true compassion for all life and creation, because we are part of the whole, and that wholeness is contained in our pure being.

Love,
