While most in the forums appear to like saying that all is illusion (and I would agree inasmuch as I can express myself properly) it seems to me that powerlessness, laziness (is there such a thing?) and equality are all illusion too.
If we think that we are any of these things, then surely we can only think that outside oneness? So in time, for example as spread across millennia, one soul may appear more advance than another, but it is just due to incarnations and learning at a certain 'pace'. Both are part of one, so in reality 'behind the scenes' neither is in front or behind.
I seem to remember reading something Ra said about no level of being actually being 'ahead' or 'behind' another. Thus, while I remember being of Ra (singularly) long ago, I am now of the UK in this time and living an ordinary life (if a life can be called that). Ra of 'now' as we perceive them are not 'ahead' of us, nor are we 'behind'.
Our ego-minds in this state of being have a penchant for seeing everything in terms of better or worse, in front or behind; in other words, separation in all things. So, just trying to see through the filter of ego-mind into an attempt at oneness should tell us that 'ascension' is nothing more than change. Not better, not worse, no prizes for hard work or 'winning the race'.
