According to the concept described above, the Universe was created by God for the purpose of self-discovery of the elements that make up Him. God is a collection of atmans, some part of them are asleep (not conscious in the given field) and a part of them are awakened; among them there are united atmans forming a community (unity-group) and single atmans which are in union. In the transcendental field, the atman is surrounded by the transcendental (spiritual) body, which is derived from the feminine principle of God, while the supreme ideal, the atman itself, is an element of the masculine principle of God. The unity of the two is related like hardware and software. The hardware is the body or carrier, and the software is the ideal or information field. The information field exists without a carrier, but then it cannot identify itself in a personal form and can only know itself as an element of a field. 

The atman is a divine (soul) spark, light in nature, which, when attached to a carrier, assumes the nature of a particle (has personal properties), and without a carrier is an element of an information field (impersonal in nature), so its properties are indistinguishable from the properties of the field. As a particle of light, it has a wave nature and can therefore be characterized by probability density, which is nothing more than solutions of its wave function.

The atman never leaves the transcendental world completely, but is projected onto the various levels of the created worlds, where it will be present with a certain probability density in the space. The atman is indivisible, but since its probability density is diffused in the dimensions of the universe, in principle, it is present everywhere as consciousness. The relations describing its probability density are the consciousness wave functions. At the place (level) where this probability density is maximal, the entity awakens to individual consciousness.

At the place of maximum probability densities, the atman surrounds itself - with the bodies corresponding to the given field of consciousness - as barriers (hardware), which it uses to distance itself from its environment in order to reveal the interrelationship between the environment and itself. Thus, the hardware limits the atman to self-knowledge in a given field of consciousness only.

An element of the absolute reality (God) is therefore a particle of light (atman). The atman, when motionless, assumes the form of a particle, and thus resides in its original, particle form in the transcendental world. When it is projected into the created worlds, it is in motion, so it takes the form of a wave function, which can be characterized by a residence probability. This wave function will have maxima in the created worlds, but these maxima are not uniform, and some maxima may even be absent. The atman - either a particle or a wave - is associated with carrier (body).

In the transcendental world, the particle form is in control, here the carrier (transcendental body) is so pure that the control of the atman is immediately transferred to the carrier. They are indistinguishable from each other; their speed is the same. Although the carrier may move, the atman in the carrier is motionless. In its initial position, the carrier contains only the theoretical information of sat-chit-ananda, in which the atman is embedded. The created being wants this to try out and realize at different stages of creation, since no awakening can occur until it is sure that it can realize the principle in practice (in a state of apparent detachment from God). The situations in which the sat-chit-ananda principle is tried out in creation are recorded in the transcendental body and characterize the quality and extent of the entity's realization of God.
