There is no difference between the lower self and the higher self, i.e, there is no difference between god and man. Truth is very simple. There is only one self not wanting to be by itself. The cause why self perceives itself as diverse is loneliness and the purpose is companionship otherwise known as love. Hence the meaning of biodiversity. All diversity is self; self perceives itself as diverse for companionship otherwise known as love. All this is self (gen is is: 1=1 meaning i=i or self = self). Gen is Amor. Allah is Love. God is Love. Shiva is Love. Spirit is Love. Self is Love.
