And it doesn't really matter if you think that consciousness grows from matter—one knows better. (Money doesn't grow on trees; neither do you.)
So it appears consciousness ascends from body-mind, but body-mind is where consciousness descended before its focusing resurrection.
And this is the genius of resting in consciousness—such natural knowledge informs the I in I-Am who the I really is.
For I is absolute, am is consciousness, and the universal dream of body-mind is the reflexive process of self-awareness.
But don’t believe these metaphysical words when you can rest there for yourself.
