Stretching the Mind

Greetings from Cheyenne, Wyoming - on the way to the gathering.

I think the term 'stretching my mind' is an understatement in regards to this plane. I was feeling pretty 'stretched' in the last discussion about intuition! I've done a little of studying, and what I've discovered so far is this -

And you did a great job of "stretching" Dave. You gave some insightful remarks. Now to make us stretch a bit more let me give some additional seed thoughts about this plane, which even DK says he has difficulty putting the concept of it into words.

All form originates on this plane and is reflected to the mind, which is in turn reflected in physical reality. Think about a consciousness that originates ideas, which later appear as new form in physical reality. How would you describe it such a consciousness?

Intuition brings down these ideas, but atmic consciousness creates them.

Atmic consciousness is governed by spiritual will whereas buddhic consciousness is governed by love/wisdom.

DK uses what he admits are inadequate words describing this consciousness. They are "realization," "magnetized consciousness," and "identification."

What do these three statements tell you about this higher consciousness and what do they have in common?

Atmic consciousness is the highest point of the Spiritual Triad. Perhaps some industrious member can give us some of DK's teachings on this.
