Thank you for this astute explanation. Mary Baker Eddy also figured this out and founded the Christian Science movement to apply absolute truth (pure unified consciousness with no opposite) to seeming material reality.
I love your expression of ourselves as consciousness. Makes sense that we would struggle to relate to absolute since we seem relative. Really- this realization is brilliant- now to use our brilliance to make the world better by not buying into the very problems we set out to solve. That is effective , dare I say, scientific prayer.
