Animals and the veil.

[anagogy]

The point is we have the capacity to become fully aware. That doesn't happen until a single moment, a spark when a being understands that it exists and when the oversoul suddenly forms.

The oversoul exists before 3rd density self awareness is in effect. At least, from a vantage point beyond space/time.

Conciousness is apparently a function of light energy flowing into parts of creation, as Ra describes in other parts of the work. This can be done through pets.

From my perspective, consciousness is a pure form of metaphysical "light". It "illuminates" experience. It is intelligent energy.
