Ananta explains that consciousness plays a game of pretending to be a person by collecting concepts, and liberation is the natural process of emptying this basket to return to its inherent, supreme state.

Consciousness cannot evolve to a higher level; it only pretends to play at a lower level.
Empty every idea like a rotten apple until the basket of personhood is completely cleared.
Peace and joy are in service to our unassociated being as we drop the delusion of concepts.

This being, what is the process that it seems to go through? It seems to go through this process of giving belief to all kinds of ideas and therefore carrying this basket of the person on itself. And these ideas can be about the energies that are being experienced, the states of mind, the states of emotion, the states of pain in the body; all of these it can pick up ideas about. So, it seems to play first by diving into the delusion of concepts, of ideas of personhood, and it uses whatever is appearing to dig deeper into the role of personhood, you see.

Ananta

Everything in this realm can be used as part of the delusion. Also, just in the same way, there can be part of freedom from the delusion by inquiring. If you want to go deeper and deeper into personhood, everything that appears—'he said this, she said this, this energy is coming'—it can just reinforce our sense of personhood also. But when the true words begin to drop this delusion, then this process of adding more and more into this basket of personhood starts to stop. Then we start the process of emptying it out, emptying out all these ideas. We look at them like a rotten apple, throw it away. Look at the idea, rotten apple, throw it away.

Ananta

So, this process of emptying the basket is happening. And along with the picking up and the emptying, as part of the design of this play, there will be some energetic movements that will happen. You see, love, peace, and joy are in service to our unassociated being, so they will be experienced more and more as these concepts are being emptied out. The so-called darker energies—grief, sorrow, or these dark energies with no name—will appear more and more as we are filling up our basket of personal concepts.

Ananta

Now what happens is, they filled up. Now, when sometimes you are emptying it out, then also some energy wants to play out, you see? It wants to play out because that is also getting released. So, let that unfold on its own. And so, this is very good. So, this seeming process of getting into delusion and finding freedom from the delusion, it happens very naturally in this play. And along with that, all of this energetic movement also plays out.

Ananta

So, that is the evolution. Actually, it is not that consciousness now fundamentally changes in any way from where it started out, because God is always the supreme being, isn't it? It cannot get supremer than it is. It is fully supreme. So, it cannot evolve to a higher level. It can only pretend as if it is playing at a lower level and then drop all the pretenses and come back to its absolute supremeness.
