When Steve says he thinks he is consciousness, it is something I am creating in my 'dream'.
I can create many people, with their fictional(dream, illusion) stories.
"[There once was a pink elephant that discovered it was not really a pink elephant - it was actually a human lying in a bed, dreaming that he was a pink elephant. Then the human discovered that he was not actually really a human - he was something more, he was that which was aware of being human. And then he became aware that he was really awareness.]"
There is only one dreamer. There is only one "real me." Only one "
I".

If awareness centers on Shindra, Shindra is the main character.
I created Shindra, and I created the experience of being Shindra by forgetting what I really am.
I am making Shindra unravel the mysteries, see the incongruencies in the common belief systems, so that I, through Shindra, can experience the wonder of being what I am, in relation to what I am not, to the forgetful, illusory experience of being a fragile ego that can suffer.
Nothing exists without it's opposite - no hot without cold, for example. No greatness without something 'lesser'.
For something to be experienced, it has to exist in relation to something else.
So I created things that seemed different, that seemed seperate, so that I could experience fear and suffering, after which I could experience Love and oneness.
I created the illusion of seperate consciousnesses, of something existing 'out there', so that I could experience fear that 'the other', the 'something else', could 'do something to'/'impose upon' the fragile ego I thought I was.
I can in fact not be harmed. Awareness is aware is awareness, unchangeable.

At any point in time - and there is really only one, Now - awareness only has direct control over one character.
