As to developing awareness:
If you were to go deep within the structure of the "individuality" THAT
YOU ARE you would eventually find an interior frontier within it's
center, beyond which, (i.e., further in) you as an individual person do
not identify. A veritable mystery in the middle of who you think you
are. To stay there might be to see the Great Light. To venture further
inward is to vanish into the Great Deep.
To return and assume again the personal vestment is to be reborn, never
to be again the same.
I am that I am.
As to origins:
Some earnestly asked the question "who am I?" Others did not.
As to dogma, faith and authority:
You can hear about it. You can talk about it. You can think about it.
But the actual journey no one can make for you. No one can leap for you.
"If the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
"What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of man, that thou
visiteth him?"
"Faith is the substance of things not seen"
Void = Pleroma
Despite everything to the contrary, Yang is identical to Yin.
Love is the key.
Deep, deep mystery.
