What is individuality and the personal reality? Is individuality separation and does it isolate the Ascendant into the personal reality? Is the personal reality something you can own, or control? Is it separate from the Universal reality where everyone can step in and share, or is it private only to you?
There is really only one reality. The Ascendant reality.
Anyone who has been to a First Sphere, and learned how to Ascend from a Teacher of the Ishaya Foundation has heard that we typically think up to 100,000 thoughts per day.
Why? Because you can. Should you? That depends on what you choose to do with your mind.
Some people are really good at multitasking, and others... not so much.
Imagine if there was a mind so powerful that it could follow every thought, but never lose sight of where it was and what it was doing as it followed every thought simultaneously. Such a mind might be Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent.
The state of consciousness known as Unity has several qualitative levels to it, such as immortality, miracle power and Brahman. Brahman is described as having the awareness in a thousand places at the same time.
Some of us get confused if we try to manage more than one thing at a time.
Something else you probably heard in the First Sphere; "Every thought has direction".
IF such a powerful mind created you, then that thought must be more than a haphazard and random eruption of chaotic energy. That thought came about by an activity within consciousness.
If we compare our 100,000 thoughts a day with the seven billion individuals we share this planet with, as well as the planet and all that it is composed of and how it neatly fits within the order of planets in this solar system, and how that fits within the arrangement of other solar systems that make up the galaxy that is the Milky Way Galaxy, and how this Milky Way Galaxy fits into other Galaxies to make the known Universe.... That's a lot of thoughts.
Have you ever just looked down onto the earth and observed the complexity of form and function in your back yard? The blades of grass in a lawn, with the many insects that live and move in that lawn; the other plants, shrubs and trees that live and breathe in the same air. They inhale and absorb a gas which we exhale and we inhale and absorb what they exhale, creating a symbiotic relationship. Everything interacting together in such grace and form... although, I still have not found much appreciation for ticks and mosquitoes. Consciousness must have had some idea about them that I don't share in my personal opinion.
OK, so looking at the idea of individuality. If you were consciousness and gave a thought some direction, it would take its direction but would be transmitting all of its information and experience back to you. Sort of like sending a satellite into space to observe something your physical body can't while seated in your chair in front of the TV. Though I doubt Consciousness as the source of all is preoccupied in the same sense as my analogy, you might still get the idea. This satellite then is on a course that no other satellite will duplicate in its position and direction as it encounters the other objects of nature which have their own course, as
they are making their way through the created universe.
This satellite is connected to the source of all creations and through the source can get feedback as to what course changes it could make so that it does not run into something the source knows about, but it (the satellite) does not. Its senses are programmed to receive and send signals, within the limits of its construction. The source that it connects to is not limited to its construction or senses. By its very connection to the source it has unlimited resources, but physically it can only perform within the limits given to it by its design.
Each human individual is similar in that it is like the satellite but the mind of the human is not only connected to the source, it has all the capabilities that the source has to create the reality it moves in.
The human soul is a mirror of the One Ascendant consciousness and it has many forms. None of which are lesser or greater than the other. The soul also has an Over soul. It (the soul) is one of many forms imagined by the Over soul. That Soul is neither less nor greater than any other soul. Each soul has its own direction and its own abilities to make choices.
Matter contains ether (conscious particles), or matter is ether in form. Quantum physics tells us that matter takes its form from consciousness.

The Conundrum of Consciousness
Though perhaps counterintuitive, consciousness cannot be easily sidelined from scientific examination. Doctors have found a person's state of mind can have significant effects on their body's ability to heal itself.
While that anecdotal observation has not provided enough solid evidence to cause every doctor to prescribe meditation as a form of medicine, quantum physicists have found definitively that at the sub-atomic level, the act of observation actually affects the reality being observed. This fact became known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: one cannot observe a phenomenon without changing or affecting it.
Some physicists have wondered whether the universe in some strange sense might be brought into being by the participation of those consciousnesses that have chosen to participate. The term 'participator' then has become an incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the idea of passive observation, given by classical theory, and shows that the vital act is the act of participation. In this way, there can no longer be a scientist who stands safely behind a thick glass wall and watches what happens in an isolated manner from the observed experiment without influencing the outcome simply by observing it.
Quantum mechanics insists such isolation cannot occur.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli described that from within one's inner center our psyche seems to move outward, experiencing, influencing, and even creating the physical world through the act of participation.
Thus physicists have found themselves, through the study of quantum mechanics, to be in the unanticipated field of the study of the structure of consciousness.
Christian de Quincey likened this phenomenon to being in the odd position of having to confront daily the indisputable fact of one's own consciousness, and yet having no way of being able to explain it.
What is consciousness and where does it come from? That is a philosophical question that dates back thousands of years. We can conclude consciousness is not composed of matter. But we have only assumed thus far that matter does not possess consciousness.
We must still ask, 'From whence then does consciousness originate?'
Greek philosopher Descartes was famous for his ability to doubt any given theory or philosophy. He could doubt what people said. He could doubt the validity of what his eyes showed him of the world. He could doubt himself; his own thoughts and feelings. He could even doubt that he was present in a physical body. But the one thing that he could not doubt was the fact that he was doubting. This revealed his one and only certainty: he was thinking. Descartes thus concluded if he was thinking, he had to be a conscious, experiencing being. As he put it in Latin, Cogito, ergo sum: I think, therefore I am.
This was and is the paradox of consciousness. Its existence is quite undeniable, and yet it remains totally inexplicable.
For the materialist meta-paradigm, consciousness is a monumental anomaly.
Religious people may claim God is the creator and the source of all creation. But physicists might say the same of consciousness.
Philosophically, the implications of quantum mechanics are mind blowing. Not only does quantum mechanics insist that we influence our reality, but also, at least to some degree, we actually create our reality.
Because quantum mechanics tells us that we can know either the momentum of a particle or its position, but not both, we are forced to choose which of these two properties we will want to determine.
Metaphysically, this is very close to saying that we will create those specific properties because we have chosen to measure them. In other words, it is possible that we can create something at a specific position, like a particle, for example, simply because we were intent on determining some thing existed at that position.
Returning to the discussion of conscious interpretation of the physical world, it can even be argued that our entire physical world – everything we can see, hear, taste, smell, and touch; as well as our private, inner world – every thought, feeling, fantasy, intimation, hope, and fear – is a form that consciousness has taken on for our benefit. Thus, consciousness becomes both the source and creator of everything we know.

Getting back to the topic at hand, regarding individuality and the personal reality, we can determine that the state of mind has everything to do with scope of vision. If you are of the mind that you are separate from the whole, then the whole will be isolated from your experience by the walls you create between yourself, and the outward appearances of isolated objects of interest that you project from your mind.
A big part of this isolation was initiated as a momentum of thought which had its direction at the level of the soul. It began before your physical body came into creation, but still exists in the potential now. Or you could say, that the impulse of thought made you manifest as you appear and make yourself part of your surroundings. You (from the level of the ego) have no clue as to the ultimate direction of your future, but that doesn't mean it's not available. There are no absolute futures but there can be probable futures within possible choices in reality. You have free will so there is no set course in your life that is not open to deviation towards the probable outcome that is the eventual end of the form (body), that consciousness inhabits, even as it turns to dust.
The level of consciousness (waking, sleeping, dreaming, ascendant consciousness, etc.) will determine just how you experience yourself, whether it is as the isolated form or whether the awareness is seated in the Heart of the soul where consciousness is more expanded and omnipresent. There is nothing that is separate from you, and unless your reality is set to the standards where the unknown is the unknown, anything
can be known. You will simply have to step out of your current mindset to sample a different experience, in life as a human being.
