Akasha, This is how C.C. looks from the point of view of Brahman, NOT from its own point of view. From its own point of view, there is the Absolute, and the Relative, completely separate (again, using the Purusha- Prakriti model, C.C. is Purusha/Absolute activating Avyakta/Unmanifest in Cosmic brow, and Prakriti/Relative activating karmendriyas/organs of action in Base), so we get Absolute and Relative together but at completely opposite poles. Absolute is the uninvolved "Witness" of the automatic activity of the Relative. However, there is also, as yet unsuspected by the person enjoying C.C., (among other elements) the Ahamkara, our personal Brahma or Causal/Solar Body or Soul or storyteller, intermediating between the Absolute and the Relative. This is the personal ego or "I AM" who still binds the rest of the sheaths by time and space, denying the immediacy of Wholeness or merged Absolute/Relative or "Absolativity" by placing conditions upon it. So long as we are unaware of the true nature of this personal Brahma or Golden Child, we project it onto the external authority of God/Christ/Guru/Shankara/whomever. This Ahamkara remains even into U.C., though by then the Purusha/Absolute has moved down through the bliss-sheath and wisdom-sheath to touch it from above, and the Prakriti/Relative has moved up through the senses and lower mind to touch it from below. We then merge with that Solar Angel, but probably don't yet think to apply that experience of NOW to all of Life. We're still conditioning the Wholeness with at least some of our habitual stories and projections and expectations. It is not until one is willing to stand completely in the utter naked perfection of one's own Truth NOW, completely unattached to all external authority and all space-time phenomena (and that includes all states of consciousness) yet embracing it all, that the Brahma/Personal Ahamkara/Causal Body/Guru/storyteller is seen for the non-existent "man behind the curtain," the small self, and the "Great Immensity" of emptiful paradox or Brahman or Wholeness or Absolativity is directly Understood as our own Soul -- the World Soul. NOW the C.C. witnesser is seen as having been a small self, by comparison to the Wholeness which has taken its place. I hesitated to write again of this, because I suspect this may add yet another layer of glamorizing and conceptualizing and concretizing and projection over the simple immediacy of NOW. But it seemed to be a problem for you, and so what can we do? We do our best. Hope it helps.
