Forget Me Not

The natural resources that comprise all human beings' mind-body capacities are, in essence, reminder systems. They are the "forget me nots" that infinite consciousness has created for itself. At first, we can interpret such human capacities as those that enable us to think, feel, relate, perceive and remember, for example, superficially as survival systems. More profoundly, we see that they are infinite consciousness's way of reminding itself of itself. How? Because they give us human experiences of oneness in the form of understanding truth, perceiving beauty and feeling love.

At some point in our endeavour to be happy, we understand that our relative happiness is experienced through understanding, loving, and appreciating. These three aspects find their most profound level when we know we are at one with all existence. In these human experiences of oneness, we are reminded of our essential oneness that is beyond individual human experience and from which it derives.

Why is this necessary? Because in the process of individuation whereby infinite consciousness becomes a finite perspective, to be that finite perspective, we have to have the capacity to "forget" our source and focus instead on objective experiences. However, if we never could remember our source, we would forever be lost in objective experiences and mistakenly see them as our source of happiness. Then we would forever be unhappy and ultimately destroy the very experience of individuation into human form that, as infinite consciousness, we spontaneously created as a natural expression of ourselves.
