In order to better understand what universal conscience is, we may compare it to the ocean: a fluid mass, undifferentiated... creation in its origin would correspond to the formation of waves.
A wave can be considered an individual entity, but it is obvious that the wave is the ocean, and the ocean is the wave. There's no division nor distintion.
The next pahse of creation woul be a wave crashing against a reef evaporating into the air like drops of water that will exist as individuals for a short period of time just before being swallowed by the ocean instantly. There we have fugitive moments of individual existence.
And then, imagine the water evaporating into the air forming a cloud. The original unit fades and hides behind the illusion of a separate form of existence. Might even appear to be a transformation, but a little bit o physical knowledge will inmedaitely show you that the cloud is the ocean, and the ocean is the cloud. At the end, the water in the cloud is going to return to the ocean as rain.
The ultimate separation, where the link with the original source appears to fade completely away is as a snow flake, a cristalized form of the drop of water in the cloud that had evaporated from the ocean. There you have an entity very well structured, a separate individual, in appearance not related with the original source; but the source in essence.
Now, do we really need a sophisticated set of values and high level education and knowledge in order to realize or recognize that the snow flake is the ocean, and the ocean the snow flake? The truth is that to return to the origin, to the essence, the snow flake must give death to ego, must abandon its structure and individuality to return to the source.
