[quote=MikeS80]Individuality does not create separation. One can be an individual and not think he/she is separate from brahman, just like one can be an individual who thinks he/she is separate from brahman. p/quote] it's both, individuality causes both separation and non-separation depending on the individual.

I never said they were, but those are as much of your unconscious as your cognitive behaviour and everything else that is in your unconscious.

What I was trying to put across is that you can change the unconscious programming but you can't actually stop it, so instead of being in a constant battle with your unconscious conditioning you can change it to something that serves you better. Shadow work would be a good start.
