What does it mean to be 'higher' in the first place? If there was nothing 'lower' would the 'higher' still exist? Or is speaking someone like me, somewhat of a nondualist (at least I hope that's an accurate enough term, not completely solidified yet here... >.>) trying to explain some abstract concept as the teachings of the bible to some other existence such as a pet cat?

A lot of people mistake spirituality for religion.

I never said anything about the Bible. It contains some truth, and some falsehood. But I do not call myself a Christian.


As far as your other questions, I prefer to give no reply.

I believe I was just using that as an example, and you may replace it with something more suitable to you if you'd like (i.e. your views on consciousness ).
