This Awareness indicates that the very reason that consciousness left the Divine level of vibration was to go out and return after many adventures and trials and tribulations with a personal or unique individuality. Thus, the individuality becomes the prized reward for the entities who fell from heaven, who fell from grace, who went into sin and suffering and who in time return to Celestria with their individuality intact and developed.

This Awareness indicates that any entity who has not completely developed his or her individuality is likely to return to the realms of darkness for further work, and it will not even be to their benefit to force them toward the Light before they are ready. This Awareness indicates that thus, you see some entities who are bound and determined to do things that are essentially not good for themselves or others.

You may understand this better by realizing they are working on their individuality and they are taking the path of suffering rather than the path of alchemy or service. They may, at some point, reach the worst case scenario for themselves: the Dark Night of the Soul. They may then turn back toward the Light. The story of the Prodigal Son is the story of every soul that has fallen from grace and goes out to find themselves.

To find oneself is the effort to develop individuality, and there are many entities on the path seeking to discover who, in fact, they really are. They are in fact building their individuality, often on mistakes, often on great error, often at the expense of others, but eventually something occurs where they see that they have wronged themselves and others, and they return and they carry with them that uniqueness which is their own from their negative experiences and behavior, as well as from any lessons they might have learned, and when they do return, they then are unique individuals in their own right.

They are not mere reflections; they are not the perfect reflection of Divinity. They are individuals who have made mistakes, who have suffered, who have caused others to suffer, and they learn from these things and are then ready to try something for greater living and greater experiences and are then satisfied, having eaten from the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge, having eaten of the flesh and appetites, having eaten with the pigs at the trough and wallowed in the pig pens, they are through with that experience and are ready for a more blissful and serviceable expression.

Thus, they become more interested in giving of themselves than taking from others, more interested in doing worthwhile things than causing trouble for others or for themselves. That essentially is the nature of the metaphor known as Hades. Hades is a state of being in which entities challenge themselves, challenge others in order to develop individuality, and once this is developed, once they reach a point of total dissatisfaction with themselves and with their world, they then cry out for salvation. They then reach out for help or they cling to the Light and return to the Divine as New Beings.
