The Map of Consciousness
on the Cone of Light
One mechanism explains the whole map. At the top sits the zero point — Source, whole and undivided, pure Light. Consciousness descends by expressing itself in ever slower, wider waves: each level further from the light is lower in vibration, greater in distortion, and more fragmented. The journey home is the same cone, climbed.
