SoM -> God -> So -> Se -> HA
SoM is Son of Man (highest)
So is soul
Se is self
HA is human animal (lowest)
The SoM judges God. God judges the soul. The soul judges the self.
The self is in the driver’s seat.
Now, God doesn’t want to be judged and condemned by the SoM. One way to avoid this is for God to hide in the darkness of non-existence.
However, since the self is in the driver’s seat, then as long as the self isn’t completely hidden, then the soul is exposed, which means God is exposed. So God commands the soul to hide in non-existence and the soul commands the self to do the same.
At this point, it’s only the human animal disconnected from the self and the rest of the chain which is hidden.
The point of the game is for the HA to become one with the self, for the self to become one with the soul, for the soul to become one with God, and for God to become one with the SoM. When you do this, you win and enter into paradise.
So then, as the HA, how do you overcome when God gives the command for the self to hide, which I mentioned before? How do you win this game?
Since the SoM is the only being above God in the hierarchy, the move to make is for the HA to identify with the SoM. The self must listen to whoever is higher in the chain of command, so when the HA (identified as the SoM) shines the light of awareness onto the self, the self must stand in existence even though God + soul are commanding the self to hide in non-existence.
It should be said that the self is still mostly going to see the HA as the HA even after the HA has identified with the SoM. This is why it’s important that the HA go slow and gradually build trust with the self until the self recognizes the SoM through the HA.
