Human consciousness is a manifestation of a single Consciousness. Human growth and evolution can be understood as integrating the self back into a larger, more inclusive Whole. Human development thus occurs as the self loosens its exclusive identification with some aspect or part, and reidentifies with a larger Whole. This more inclusive Whole embraces that which the self thought it was, and that which the self thought it was not. In this manner a succession of splits or dichotomies are healed and a more inclusive self emerges. It is through opening the constrictions of self-definition that one can appreciate the satisfaction and fulfillment that lies in the essence of our being
