Veriatas,
This is in the realm of roadmaps, and is inadequate as an argument until the experience refered to is had. Then there is the possibility of conversation and no argument is needed. Untill then it will be taken as intellectual content and is debatable. That is OK, as the referece is not shared as experience. But here is an attempted analogy, by no means adequate to relate the experience, but perhaps adding to the fire.
Consider an ordinary radio. It works by modulating energy by the utilization of potential. Say there is a very particular frequency, one definable to thousands of decimal places Hz. It has that frequency as its innate “being.” It differs in discernability by tuning, (attention) and yet coexists with every other frequency in the same place and time. When modulation is happening, the content of attention to it is the nature of the modulation itself, or the program. It is why we listen to a radio, to hear the program. But sometimes, in the world of broadcasting, something terrifying to adevertisers* happens: “dead air.” “Dead air” is when the carrier wave is still transmitting, but has no content, eg AM or FM modulation. It appears to be blank, silent. But it is not blank, it is still itself, being its own ferquency, undisguised by content.
That can happen to humans, too. The thing is, that the wave form we are talking about is in the Body of Consciousness. It is self-aware. So when this cessation of modulation happens in a human, whether by prayer, meditation, grace, or trauma, they have an experience of what they are without modulation. That is pure awareness, and that has its root in Consciousness. The human can then experience itself as an overlay on the substrate of awareness. This overlay includes everything the human thinks (modulates) itself to be, or be about. That contents is very much like a kelidescope, the attention is taken up with the pretty patterns, forgoing the understanding that what is actually being witnessed is light. Diffracted light.
If the human has all its life taken the content of its mind and senses to constitute “reality,” this experience of unmodulted awareness is a shock. The human discovers for the first time that it sense of self is based on a pre-existing somethingness that appears as nothing when attention is occupied with the world (co-modulation). But now that it has had such an experience, it starts to be aware of being aware in a different way than before. It becomes aware of the carrier wave as the source its ability to be in the experience of enjoying, or not, its program. It attributes its ability to “be” to that carrier wave, understanding experience to be modulations of that wave. One migh even say, as my Mentor did, that the awareness move sfrom the Animal Magnetism band to the Father/Mother band.
But it knows, irrevocably, that it is* not *the program. Once this is known, and the feeling of being trapped in a body is begun to be dealt with, then the activity can become more integrated with an appearence of ordinaryness. This can be very painful, excruciatingly so, because the new being understands something about itself that most don’t, and perhaps never will. It knows it experientially, not as book learning, or as faith, or as philosophy, or any other thing. It is suddently a pink monkey among the others, as the mokeys view him. To himself, he feels like a new man who has to act like a monkey or be damned. Suddenly life is explained, made a mystery, and sacramentalized at one fell swoop.
If the pink monkey is Catholic, it might make a sincere and prolonged effort to find a reasonable and fitting explanation for this experience, because one of its contents under the sub heading “faith,” it has the now questionable data that the faith had all the answers. Appearently not, though that perception is modified in future.
But then the new man/monkey goes elsewhere and searches for ones who have had like experiences and an explanation thereof, and lucks out. He discovers that this is an experience that has been happening to individuals since the time that we, as humans, had a reflexive awareness. In fact, that was what being human was about: being the localized reflexive awareness of the undifferentiated Consciousness in order to manifest experience. This dynamic was mytholagized into a map for those seeking a greater experience than afforded by the programming-only mode of awareness. That way it would make a fun story for many, and be a serious guide for others who were ready.
Somewhere along the line, though there were myths and philosophies that were prettty clear about all this, a small accident happened. A group of people who had been under the redeeming influence of a Proponent of this Way were somehow misunderstood in their intent of transmission. Instead of being a map, the story turned into the “history” of that one person. That person was all that was claimed, but somehow, in the translation of utilizable symbology, all that he stood for was skewed sideways into a historicisation. That was dogmatized and made into an adamantine structure that mimiced the original intent, but now hid it because it relegated each person’s potential birthright to a single unrepeatable case lost in the depth of history, where the original Proponent had no defense against the heresy.
Fortunately, the Proponent gave a promise. And it is so. It is so since before, after and as long as Man is. The fall of Lucifer happened. The fall in the garden happened.The burning bush is real. The whole Jesus story is real. It is just all misunderstood and taken backwards by too many.
Is that simple enough? It is unbelievable, (thank God) but experiencible. The purpose of the resurection? Know thySelf; do it and discover. “Vamos a ver.”

*who might that be? Could it be anyone invested in keeping attention on the modulations? who would be such a deciever?
Nice.
