Who is the ' Us and Our ' ?

"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness."

"Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us ".

" Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, "


Just a few examples taken from Genesis....

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Yes I also know the clue is in the first two Verses. I'm interested though in what others think and am open to other options.

And another....


" Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me! ” (Isaiah 6:8, NASB)

Surely, from another perspective, it might be a reference to the concept of "collective consciousness oneness" ...

I love the question......the ‘us’ is an indicator of the original creation and is an affirmation or proof of non duality....

Wait, could you expound on that a bit.
My light bulb isn't quite screwed in all the way.

So - those previously created ---on different planets in different dimensions, perhaps?
And the diff hierarchies of angels and cherubim and seraphim, etc?

No, I was referring to every individual awareness being connected with all the others at a subtle, non-physical level, so forming a "oneness" of interconnections between individual awarenesses.
