Questions from universal consciousness

My answers are intuitive and common-sensical. (See Meditation on Universal Consciousness post for context.)

1. Which is your particular body or mind?

Consciousness is now the subject and it permeates all bodies and minds in its space.

2. Are the thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations of one body-mind complex any qualitatively different from those of any other body-mind complex?

No, they shouldn't be.

In heartfulness meditation, I have fleetingly experienced thoughts and images unconnected to my life. But there was no attachment or even much curiosity.

2a. Are they any more or less important?

No, I don't think so. A universal standpoint seems to preclude prioritisation of one body-mind complex over another.

3. What distinguishes consciousness in one body-mind complex from the consciousness in another?

Samskaras. They colour the actions and reactions of each BMC.

5. What about the consciousness existing in the space between the two complexes? How is it different?

It is not localized, and so has no ahamkara or has a universal ahamkara.

The term vaiswanara is close, but encompasses too much technical detail. Para Brahman is better.

Meditation on universal consciousness

At some point, advaita started making sense experientially. It needs a complete change in perspective [1], transcendental rather than localized to a single body.

Try this meditation/visualization:

Imagine the place you are seated in is filled with consciousness (or awareness).

Imagine that you are that awareness.

Feel that you are filling that space completely.
Feel the presence of every living being there (human beings, animals, insects, plants, sub-microscopic things,...) [2]
Then the presence of every non-living thing (furniture, soil, water, air, ...) [2]

Let the space of awareness expand gradually, stepwise.
With each expansion, feel the presence of everything in that space. [2]

Continue till the entire universe is included. [3]

Questions:

You are the consciousness spread over a large space, both inside and outside all the body-mind units in that space.

[1] Trying to merge into universal consciousness while aware of your individual consciousness is probably impossible. Ramana Maharshi has termed this as trying to stand on your own shoulders.
[2] Details may become fuzzy after a point, don't fret.
[3] Consciousness fills the entire universe, you are simply dissolving the artificial boundaries of your localized awareness.
