Hierarchies, levels of consciousness, degrees of complexity, orders of difficulty in problem-solving, in miracles - these concepts all require 'gaps' that exist only in illusion; only in a mind made to be deceived about itself.
In truth there is only unity; integrity - Oneness.
Beliefs are perception-based, prone to error and often have been adopted from other people, ideas consented to at some point in the past.
A belief rising in the present then is like a filter limiting present experience.
"I am a spiritual being having a human experience." - ?
Or "I am a spiritual being consenting to the belief I'm having a human experience."
One is effect, the other is empowered as cause. We are free to withdraw our investment of belief to see all that is beyond 'human.'
Raising consciousness to a higher level only teaches your mind levels are part of Reality. Levels are illusory. Truth is beyond Levels - there is one Consciousness.
If we choose to form an identity based on concepts like gender, sexual inclination, religion, skin tone, nationality, age, skills, etc, we build a persona (mask) on sand, which has nothing to do with who we are.
Most of us imagine facing a barrage of decisions every day, when really there's just one: Love or fear.
It takes many forms - Truth or illusion; Heaven or hell; Self or ego.
These only seem to be a choice – because only one is real.
Opposites expose illusion. Only Truth 'is.'
The body serves flawlessly the mind that serves Spirit.
Identifying as bodies, most reverse this natural order, literally splitting the mind - made now to serve the body first, Spirit secondary if at all.
Mind is severely limited and handicapped by this artificial allegiance.
