I think though that when this true self is brought into this world in the form of us, it is limited/confined and our process of growth is simply the process of regaining that unity which we truly are. Whether we get there or not, well, that is a matter of circumstance/consequence.
There are two different STATES of the mind, mainly, that are of significance to our creative awareness, and that is the state of dreaming and the state of waking. The mind is one, a single entity which is our awareness, but it passes through many states, depending on the individual.
Anyway, just to clarify, that's what I was trying to say.
I like what your saying about the states of mind, however I always carry a slight almost background sence of is this real or not where ever I go, Its like an instinct, so in essence you could say I am sortof split, but I control both me's.
