I am not saying that my body is not an appearance of the Totality, I am not saying I am separate from the Totality, this is what I meant by speaking of being an extension of, or an emanation of, the Totality. But, in order to be so, there can no moment when the Totality is unconscious. Rest is not unconsciousness. While I sleep, as you so correctly pointed out, my heart remains beating, does it not? How can That which beats my heart, be unconscious? How can That which moves my dreams, be unconscious? Understanding the Source to be unconscious, and then, to be conscious from this unconsciousness, is not only very poor logic, it is insane thinking.
There is no heart, no blood, no body, no world, no you, there is only Infinite, unbounded Mind
appearing either conscious or unconscious,
appearing as you, as the world, as the body, as the blood, as the heart.
How can That which moves my dreams, be unconscious? Understanding the Source to be unconscious, and then, to be conscious from this unconsciousness, is not only very poor logic, it is insane thinking.
When you dream, do you consciously have to beat the hearts of living things in the dream? No because they don't exist, they only
appear to exist while you are in the dream. When you wake from the dream, you understand it was all in your mind, all that
appeared real in the dream was just an illusion.

And, if the Totality is the appearance, the world, and the appearance, the world, is the Totality, how will you overcome it? Also, it was you who said "Something higher is calling each of us every moment, it's the degree to which we believe in the world that we miss this calling." If the Something is calling, how can it be unconscious, and how do we stop believing in the world if the Totality is the world?
The world is overcome by realizing you are a dream character, in a dream world, just as in your own dream above you understand your dream characters aren't real. Appearance = "outward look." Outwardly the world looks like a world, inwardly there is only infinite mind, no world, no you. Something higher calling is symbolic for what seems to be a real journey, through a real world, by a real person to the understanding that there is only Infinite unbounded Mind.

If there is only ONE thing, where would you be coming from, or going to? Who believes light is darkness? Darkness is darkness, light is light, and neither exist in the way you think they do.
I think we've beat this horse to death, now we're just going round in circles, my words just creating confusion. I will leave you with this; When we think we know everything we cut ourselves off from new understanding. Like pouring water into a full pitcher, it just flows around, wasted.
