Corinthians 4:18
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Define it.
According to it, we are not able to see what to come and what had came except in our current position, but we also cannot see what we are, and feel ourselves as what we see or perceive.
But illuminated man has separate existence, this body is like an idol of Salt, which resides in sea of consciousness or Chitsamudra in abyakta or undescribable form, thus fully mixed with it, thus feeling his existence is its waves, of maya or illusion of mortal world, with no separate existence, so it flows with the tide of the water, as a playing doll in the hands of fate or destiny as moulded by the tidal waves, which are his works or karmas moulding time, favourable or unfavorable. But if he has separate existence as watcher in the banks of the river, either facing upstream or downstream, he could watch the tidal waves move by,either upstream or downstream, and know he is separate from samsara, thus able to mould it, like an angel, the lowest designation being Watcher, then higher by Cherubim, then higher by God. If he watches downstream, he is Brahma or creator or Allah or God, flowing from above to below, thus able to mould future, with no fight for sustainance, but may have to take rebirth if he falls. On the other hand, if he sees upstream, he is Shiva or Semiazas or Holy Ghost able to know past deeds and change them so as to cause effects in future, thus he is like a Ghost, dealing with past, and no mental serenity as he is always haunted by past deeds as of Evil. The flowing water is the menses of createress or mahamaya's mahamudra yoni, the vagina of Vishnu or Hariel angel as preserver, being the mortal soul or consciousness or being the conglomeration of souls.
