Notes

Since you are self aware, you are a monadic intensification of consciousness. Since you are reading these words in the eyes of your physical body, you are a monadic intensification of consciousness incarnated in a Physical Unit.

Monads may or may not find expression in the physical universe. When a monad expresses inside the physical universe we may refer to them as Monadic Expressions. When monads "take a seat" in a Physical Unit, they may be referred to as Resident Monadic Consciousness.

The monadic nature of Consciousness is visually represented by the Tree of Lights.
