I agree that all is already one, what I meant by "progression upwards towards Oneness" was ascension through the octave(s) and reintegration into total awareness of Oneness, or a continual lessening of the illusion of separation. Without some kind of momentum in the movement through densities, it seems to me like an entity would be eternally stuck within the illusion of separation. If they were in 3rd density, they would maybe eternally incarnate and experience an infinite number of 3d lives, with polarity perhaps swinging back and forth over the eons, but they would presumably never come closer to actually "knowing itself". Perhaps the octave then can be thought of as walking down a long hall with a series of curtains. Each curtain may have a beautiful pattern woven into it that can be studied, but as one curtain is pulled back, a little more of the true "know thyself" experiment comes to fruition.
