PART 3
When we last left Our Lady of the Dangling Participles at the
cliffhanger-close of episode 2 she'd just come careening around the
uncompensated curve of broken void-symmetry; forded the treacherous
two-hearted stream of Identity in the densest wilds of Creation;
narrowly averted the Fatal of an epistemological impact at the
backwater cross-roads of Focal Triangulation (population
uncountable); wrestled Long-Tall Will—the transdimensional
Cyclops—to a decision-draw between finite and Infinite; executed an
adroit verbal wheelie over the hidden speedbumps of "real/imaginary"; fishtailed momentarily under the Highbeams of the Sublime Idea
but rectified her vehicular composure in remembrance of her rectory
training only to jack-knife from a sudden, Ontological sideswipe
coming out of No-where as the barreling Omnibus of Absolute leaving
her hung on the precipice of the trickiest philosophical quiver
edging a fateful imbalance between the implication of Difference and
Indifference...
Now, the shocking continuation of 'Our Lady's harrowing plight and
plucky expository progress in Chapter 3...
THERE IS no simple nothingness, but the preexistence of Everything
as No-thing in saturate Self-cancellation of all differential terms
(which nonetheless retain their potential and actual "distinctions"
at that indiscriminate Juncture of Merger); "thingness" takes a
backseat to its common—Void—denominator while maintaining sufferance
of its own (implied) state, thanks to the "liberality" of
all-permissive Absolute! It's for this reason that the general
category of Limit altogether (i.e. the prototypal potential of
illimitable Absolute, cf. Part I) uniquely possesses an inbuilt
pressure even at the "degree" or density of unqualified Absolute.
It clamors eternally, from the standpoint even of Infinity, to be
realized in itself, through the guaranteed validity of its own terms
(being underwritten as it is by the all-legitimizing, all-supportive
and sustaining Value of Absolute). The property of Limit even in its
illimitable supersaturation and self-cancellation of (differential)
magnitudes at Infinity, asserts itself and pushes itself forward
like the subtlest disturbance in the smooth moveless amplitude of
Being; and it comprises such an aggravated assertion precisely
because it suffers an inequality of existence through the resolving
Value of undifferentiated Sameness.
It therefore represents the
very prototype of the all-creative potential as which Absolute
abides in its infinite accommodation and permissiveness. It
comprises the essential, creative proposition eternally formulated
with respect to the infinitely selfsame Identity of Absolute-being.

This internal "strain" to take birth as itself, experiencing its
being as Limitation in the affirmative form of limitation, is
intuited in various cosmogonic myths—most notably the Maori creation
myth in which it's recited that all beings, creatures and things
preexisted in the pressurized womb and insufferable self-enclosure
formed of the cosmic embrace of Rangi and Papa (the interlocked,
eternal preexistence of Heaven and Earth); and that the din of all
such beings crying to be released into "free" creative expression,
echoed through Eternity's Halls.
Since in that stifling embrace
(which effectually "crushed out" the differential term or hypostatic
power of all gods and intermediate beings between
the—ontological—range of Heaven and Earth) nothing could come to
fruition, the gods resolved to separate Sky from Ground; it is said
that Sky (Rangi) Himself promoted the Means by which His children
could stretch forward in the luxuriating Space of "independence"
between the two Great Principles.
And indeed we've seen the manner
in which the "Sky"
principle (the absolute Self-continuity of Identity as Infinite
Consciousness) formulates the volitional Means of such a magical
endowment in emerging out of Itself as the Light of Idea, the
illuminative-Logoic proposition with Its implied Pattern of
productive release and redemption.
The Maori myth parallels this
abstract cosmogony exactly in its imagistic portrayal of the way in
which Light came to subsequently shine over the Earth of
manifestation fertilely populated with all things.

In order for this differential patterning to come about, it is as if
something "new" and original must be brought forward from a plenum
Absolute already inconceivably rich with all potential and actual
qualities, and beyond which there can be nothing at all since it
accounts for Everything as itself. Nonetheless this unique or
"novel" factor, is also a potentiality, a sublime power of its
unqualifiedly permissive Limitlessness. Regardless whether that
factor seem the problematic confuting of the Infinite postulate
Itself, in Its generous all-accommodation Absolute cannot gainsay
such a possibility; and indeed as the very prototype of Its creative
potential that delimiting factor is Chief amongst Its gods and
children.
When, out of Its own all-potentiality, Absolute Identity conceives
the Means whereby the reified Value of Limit may be reconciled with
(and indeed give ultimate Proof to) the uninterrupted
Self-continuity and Infinite Homogeneity of Absolute-being, It
brightens Infinity as the unitive or undifferentiated Light of Idea,
the single instantaneous Means abstracting the Primordial Stroke—the
Lightning-dash or Cosmogonic Line—through which all powers are
brought forward on the terms of their own unique "postulates", and
at the same time integrated in cooperative harmony with the
Absolute-value by the Grace of which they take their being.
Implied in the single Illumination of that meta-cosmic Idea, then,
is not simply the "impossible" proposition of a true Novelty
upsurging within Absolute, but of a compound novelty coming to
Being: i.e. the creative conferring of the value of Limit as a
reified proposition virtually existing "in itself*, from the
interruptive juncture of its "own" perspective; and the inevitable
Awakening of Absolute to Itself "again" as Infinite continuity and
uninterrupted Self-congruence through the masking proposition of the
"delimited viewpoint".
Thus it may be said that, through the Cosmogonic Act of the One
Divine Idea or Logoic proposition, something is "added" to the Value
of Absolute which even in the Eternal Preexistence at Infinity
didn't exist in such a Way before.
Too Full? Here Is A Two-Step Reduction Plan
Indeed this creative Miracle comes about precisely in the "moment",
or from the "perspective", in which Absolute formulates Itself as
the resolving Principle of Light, i.e. noetic Self-luminance
encoding the Means whereby Everything may be accomplished; for in
its abstract-undifferentiated Self-luminance, the value of Identity
produces a subtle differentiation, a contractile "withdrawal" and
consequent "step-down" from the plenum value of Infinity-in-Itself.
As infinite-undifferentiated Light or Noetic means, it distinguishes
itself from the Absolute-value in which all differentiation and
delimiting definition also preexist.
This is why it's said that the
beings, forms, processes and things of the creative pattern don't
exist within the Divine Idea, folded up in the cotyledon of the
seed-Thought. That "cotyledon" is composed only of Will, the
abstract Intent of Divine Identity in all its powers and potentials
without, "as yet", specific application: the instrumental
Indeterminacy of Void-being through which the variable encoding of
all determinations and differential specifications is enforced.
The actual articulated beings, forms and things of the created
worlds couldn't be contained in the abstract-noetic Idea; for then
we
would simply be back to "the beginning", where the variegated beings
and undifferentiated Being abide in the unity of Absolute Identity
to the point of indistinguishability.
The Creative power would have
no way to "get out of itself" so as to "remove" the delimiting
potentials within It from the fateful generosity of Its Infinite
nondiscrimination. It would ever "swallow up" those differential
forms, so that their properties would only continue to cause them
the "anguish" of their undifferentiated Identity at Infinity (at the
same time as they were infinitely "fulfilled" of each independently
counter-cancelled tendency)-
By abstracting a unitive undifferentiated Means, a Single Soluble
Way or Self-contained Idea, the value of Identity at the same time
succeeds in "separating" or distancing Itself from the particulate
plenary of possible beings and serves. As the undifferentiated
Self-illumination of Idea it spontaneously "reduces" Itself by a
whole-stop Density, from ultimate-Absolute Being. It is only in this
way that it is able to so distance its undifferentiated, unitive
embrace from the principle of Limit that it may "permit" the
separate hypothesis of that Principle.
By abstracting a volitional
Means of resolving the hypostatic value of "Limit" with the
Illimitable, Identity at the same stroke produces the condition in
which Limit may be imbued with its own, enabling "exclusivity". In
this way the all-accommodating, undifferentiated embrace of Divine
Light cannot simply "enter into" the zone of Limit and subsume it by
a simple "lapse". Its all-accommodation now necessarily
accommodates the contrary proposition of delimited independence.
The Infinite Self-Illumination of Divine Idea seems to "withdraw"
from the discreted region of Limit precisely because It is "too
total" or all-encompassing a Value to "fit" the proposition of
infinite Restriction; and yet it can't efface that proposition since
the very abstraction of Its noetic Means enables it—Le. that Means
requires the component of "interrupted" consciousness in the form of
restrictive "subconscious" and "un-conscious" genera (the basis of
delimited self-continuities and coordinate extensions of the
nature-force weaving the Pattern-of-being).
In this way the "separated" proposition of Limit (comprising the
basis of manifestable substance or Prakrit) constitutes another
whole-stop reduction in density. It establishes the workable value
of infinite Limitation. It furnishes the functional limit of
resistance or restrictive opacity against which the abstract Means
of creative Will models the superabundant potential drawn—by
Identity—out of the preexistent infinitude of ideoform life.
Willing To Relocate
Will doesn't find the model of such forms abiding within the Light
of Its own Means; It already apprehends their eternal preexistence,
in the global fulfillment of all aspects to the degree of
functional self-cancellation, through the unsurpassable Plenum of
Infinity beyond Its volitional Self-formulation. In reflecting such
forms against the enabling resistance of Limit, Will draws forward
their undifferentiated Symmetries in the reductive state of
potential (discriminating the "actuality" of their self-cancelling
fulfillments at Infinity) in keeping with Its own character as
Ideotorm Abstraction.
Since all such forms preexist through eternity in all their
possible combinations and relations without distinction as to
"before" or "after" but without the exclusion of "before" and
"after", it can truly be said that Absolute in its ultimate nature
is without discrimination or qualification, bearing all equally. In
contrast to this the smooth, undifferentiated unity and noetic
abstraction of Identity in the form of Light represents a subtle
differentiation from Absolute-in-Itself. It marks the first
distinction, even in Its undivided Radiance as Idea.
Therefore it
truly comprises the Means whereby Absolute may test the Creative
hypothesis (preexisting all variety through Its own Being) in
establishing the problematic perspective of finitude-in-itself, even
out of Its Infinite Essence.
It does this in two ways: by making a "distinction" between
existence-in-itself (or Limit) and limited-existence already
resolved in Absolute Identity, it furnishes the ground of a
polarizing tension; a subtle discrepancy intrudes which allows the
potential of existence -in-itself to be "liberated" from its
indiscriminate coexistence at Infinity with all Value equally.
At
the same time, by creating the basis of a practical juxtaposition
between Limit and Absolute Identity, it provides the ground for the
reflective thesis of the Ideoform Resolution of Identity with
respect to the proposal of "Limitation-in-Itself", so limitation may
be furnished the hypothetical contexts in which it can "live out"
its premise.
The abstract Means (presenting Itself in the Ideoform homogeneity of
Infinite Light) while formulating the Will that reconciles the
creative-limited with the non-manifest Limitless subtly serves at
the same time to reduce the indiscriminate plenum of Absolute to a
"dry proposition".
This "abstraction" of Absolute in the form of
Idea is then like a Desert of undifferentiated Self-luminance. It
has no internal richness of divisible parts; but it has the Will to
draw the potential configurations of ideoform worlds and beings from
their preexistent residency as a saturate plenum of "perspectives"
outfitted with their various ready-made labels, arrows and
directional indicators. It has the Will to draw them as ideoform
wholes through its Self-resolving formula (or illumined Means) and
in that light project them as fertile potentiality across the
interloping Shadow of creative Limit.
All such potential was suggested in the first place from the
implication of creative Limit within the value of Absolute; at the
same time the ideoform totality of all such potential eternally
preexists through the accommodating amplitude of all-supportive
Infinity. All variety in the subintensities of worlds, beings and
things may be drawn forward through the unifying abstract hypothesis
of Divine Idea as totalizing Means reconciling the terms of Limit,
and Limitless Identity.
They may be brought forward as abstract ideoform potential (in the "stasis" of their global saturation,
assembled through all perspectives and dimensions) and
experimentally reflected against the resistive, centralizing
"interruption" of Limit. They may be modelled across that opaque
intrusion of Limit in a certain sense like bright clothes over a
drab, single-piece dummy.
Slipping Into Darkness
The centralizing, nondimensional Point of Limit, being a creative
hypothesis, has no "actual" position and therefore no "intrinsic"
feature or modelled profile in itself. Under reflective gaze of
Identity in the form of Light, that single undifferentiated
"proposition" of Limit betrays its theoretical character and
multiplies indefinitely, proliferating in self-mirrored extension as
an infinite displacement.
Such pointillist profusion furnishes the requisite "extensive-ness"
of Akashic Space from its single, opaque and undifferentiated
postulate.
The "center" of Limitation (and thus of interruptive, self-negating
unconsciousness) seems to spread everywhere as an homogenous
darkness, any phase of which denies admittance to the boundless
Light. Such a "center" or Akashic proposal of substance, while
comprising a theoretical "concentrate" has no existence-in-it-self;
its borrowed being, as a thesis of finitude within Absolute, betrays
itself when Identity "turns" by reflection to pin-point and thus
define it, for it slips like oil out from under any definitive grasp
and diffuses in saturate displacement as an opaque "equivalent" of
Infinity.
Thus there becomes an infinite unconsciousness or Akashic Space, the
ephemeral basis of "substance", as well as an Infinite and coeternal
consciousness.
There is then no "real" or quantifiable Limit which may be
definitively fixed and exhaustively defined. What is "known" of
Limit is "known" by reflection; the ideoform models of potential
self-definition are drawn from Infinity and projected, through
saturate self-polarization of the mirroring coordinates of "being" under
reflective Gaze of Infinite, as typologies of probable patterning.
The created proposition of Limit, unknowable as "itself", simply
serves as functional point-of-departure for a mirroring
multiplication and adjustive, organizational alignment of variable
coordinate reference. No "thing" inheres in the value of Limit. At
the same time, no "thing" resides in the unitive Light of Idea, but
is simply brought forward through the Light of Idea from the
preexistent amplitude of Everything. All "things" appear between the
inexistent or "unreal" proposition of Limitation-in-itself, and the
undifferentiated Light of Idea reflecting upon the proposition of
the delimiting Point (and so diffracting a mirroring multiplication
of coordinate variables which, by adjustment, align the focal
"range" or resolution of the stylized grid-pattern magically
regularizing the rhythmic identity-values of "beings and objects").
The "enfolded cotyledon" of the One Idea, is not then a ramified
seed of internal chambers and parts; it is the volitional "coil",
unitive and undifferentiated, through which the abstract Means
reconciling the finite and Infinite turns upon or "comes to" itself
in a single hypothesis. The pattern of worlds, beings and universes
which seems to issue from that "cotyledon" doesn't emerge out of it,
but Raws from application of the reflective Line of Volitional Light
with respect to the resistive upsurge of Limit in the midst of
Infinity.
That Line draws upon the preexistent amplitude of Everything
(abiding "behind" It as Its Absolute Ground) and incorporates the
vigor of limitless expression belonging to that amplitude as
potential through the Light of Its own, Resolving Hypothesis, toward
the challenging field of Limit spread out "before" it. In so doing,
the vigor of limitless expression belonging to Absolute is
"transcribed", with respect to the Resolving Hypothesis of the Line
(of Volitional Light), as the reflective and symmetrically splayed
patterns flowing kaleidoscopically from the "plane of pointillist
profusion" in the field of Limit.
(We may visualize this with
reference to someone writing at a desk, an image to which the Qabalists resort in referring to Metatron, the Archangel of the
Presence transcribing the destiny of souls and universes in the
Ledger of Life. The Line of Light may be analogous to the Pen which
writes; the "ideas" of the various beings that wind up imprinted on
the manifesting Parchment aren't contained in the Pen, but flow
through Its enabling instrumentality from the Mind of the writer.)
This then is the moment of creative upsurge in the "plan" or pattern
of the One Idea. It may be recognized as the cosmogonic juncture
(beyond "time", "space" etc.) at which the creative amplitude of
Infinite Being with all Its worlds, beings and things abiding beyond
distinction of potential and actual is practically ordered with
respect to the integrative and resolving Line. (This "vertical"
line may be recognized as the cerebrospinal column in flat physical
terms, the Hindu susumna or Theosophical sutratma, the Qabalistic
Middle Pillar etc.)
Wherein The Line Makes Its Point
Although the "universal convergence-point" in the symmetric
resolution and self-cancellation of everything exists "everywhere"—
indiscriminately—beneath the diffracting Gaze of the reflexive Line
of Light, the absolute volitional prerogative of that Line under the
abstract Wisdom of Its Resolving Hypothesis (Logoic Idea)
establishes a specific point. Through the total freedom of Its Will
embedded in the basic indeterminacy of Void-Being, Line establishes
(by creative Fiat, by sheer volitional "caprice") a principal point,
a fundamental Radix of universal resolution through which It
polarizes the extent of Its multidimensional Axis.
With that declared Point (the Self-identical Heart of Being)
established as the Mean through which the reflective term of
Identity would come to Itself on a definitive basis with respect to
the delimiting hypothesis of the creative pattern of Being, all
other equipotential point-propositions could function as similar but
not identical terms
of resolution on a relative basis, existing at varying functional
distances "from" that universal Mean of the transdimensional Axis
or Line of Light. Each such point could function as a resolving
void-locus of a specialized pattern operating near (in terms of
ontological "distance") but not coincident with the universal
Void-locus of the transdimensional Axis.
Thus we may visualize a plenum distribution of such resolving
void-points functioning as the convergent mean of innumerable
patterns, indistinguishable in themselves or from the Heart-locus
of the total Pattern-of-Being except with respect to the
all-important, arbitrary if absolutizing Fiat of Line (which, by
drawing its Axis of polarization through that particular Point
establishes all the distinctions, and indeed makes the differences
in the various patterns drawn through the locus of particular points
a direct function of their relative—ontological—distance from the
Median Term).
The innumerable points clustered about the central Axis with Its
fundamental Coordinate Point may be considered loci of many patterns
integrated through, but not coincident with, the resolving Mean of
that Axis; they may be considered the quintessence, the virtual
"void-navels" of rich interwoven forms possessing discrete
identities and at the same time coinhering, overlapping through
numberless other patterns—-Akashic matrices through which are
reflectively organized in crystalline cross-hatch the coordinate
networks of Garnet and Orchid, Lynx and Benzene, Pitch and Redwood.
Yet all such differential form of any such patterning process takes
its specific (organizational) being and context from the filtrate
grid-network of compound, polarized perceptual keys organized
through the variable coordinate loci distributed along the central
Axis of Being (the transdimensional susumna or cerebrospinal column)
and having their Common Denominator in the Median Point of that
Axis, the Heart established in the Middle by Logoic fiat of Line.
Making Ends Meet
All possible, mutually integrated if "discreting" patterns exist as
super-saturate assemblages of allowable geometries under governance
of the prevailing ideotype, in themselves without differential
angle, polarizing perspective or discriminative axis thrust through
the dense-packed bundle of potential as which they abide. Each such
possible pattern (i.e. creatural model, vegetative form,
organ-matrix etc) receives the enabling perspective on the
"subjective end", through the correspondence-of-identity between it
and the apprenticed consciousness-unit functioning as the
inspirited void-locus seeking its self-continuity through an
experimental succession of conditional terms.
Each such possible
pattern receives the enabling angle (whereby a matrix of
differential perception and functional operation is drawn into
relief) through the "objective" lens of compound focal triangulation
along the central, multi-dimensional Conscious Axis drawing Its
potential typologies into relative expression (cf. Part I).
The central, transdimensional Line is the operative determinant in
the polarization of a particular, functional network of patterns and
processes through the perceptual plane out of the "stationary"
global assemblages of creative potential; all potential patterns are
integrated most coherently through, and with respect to, that Line.
All saturate potential of the compound-focal coordinates aligning
variable geometries in the patterning grid-networks of perception,
is differentially filtered and polarized through the elastic
discriminations and "undetermined determinations" of Line, the Axis
of Volition.
From the optimum integrity and volitional variability of Line (the
centralizing Self-axis of Being), logoic typologies organize the
multidimensional current or patterning process of manifestation as a
whole.
This whole-current typology along the central Axis serves to
filter and align "mnemonic" flow-channels of recursive, automatic—
or sub-conscious—coordinate grids (the synaptic "typologies" of the
central nervous system and responsive patterns of the autonomic
nerve networks, at the level of physical "cross-section"); through
the irradiating junctures and polarizing "pyramid-points" of those
coordinate grids, the currents of subconscious magnetism—or "fluid
vital force"—characterizing the pattern of the nature field draw the
corresponding alignment of planes and angles from the "stationary"
or dense-floating global assemblages of patterning potential abiding
as the innumerable point-loci indirectly correlated with the Central
Channel.
In this way we may see a clear Influence flowing from the integral
pattern of the Volitional Line, through all the potential beings,
selves, creatures, planes and things exhibiting a reflective and
coinvolved typology of Appearance.
The "Stuff" On Which Dreams Are Made
Identity, infinitely Self-congruent and continuous in Itself as
consciousness, takes on the Idea-value of Light as Self-revelatory
inspiration regarding the Means through which that Absolute status
may be reconciled with the disruptive principle of Limit permitted
by Its very Infinitude and all-potentiality. It is for this reason
that we interpret the first hypostasis of Identity with respect to
our "chart" of the mind-body pattern, as the Self-born Light of
Idea, the principle of Logos. It appears in relation to that chart
as the Divine Means by which the Absolute Selfness or identical
self-same value of Infinite Being affirms Itself in the face of all
conditions.
The inbuilt Solution of that Idea draws forward all Its
burgeoning implication in the very form of the Abstract
Pattern-of-Being, through which such a conciliation between the
finite and infinite may be accomplished.
The character and function of that Pattern (the multidimensional
mind-body axis in relation to which the Divine Hypostases are
ascribed) was the substance of our discussion in Part I.
Identity in Its inward incubation and Self-brooding as Light, takes
the form of Idea in response to the presence of the creative
potential of Limit. Therefore regardless the innumerable patterns of
beings, conditions and worlds with which Its internally-single and
self-homogenous Hypothesis corresponds, in Itself it represents (he
abstract potential of resolving configuration; in Itself it has no
internal subdivision of components that comprise the compound
materials of nature, and therefore of the differentiated
Life-pattern.
It may be said then that the "substance" of the Divine Idea is
intelligence. Since it is Idea and therefore abstract hypothesis
reconciling actual terms, it must be conceived as having substance
or "materia" (as opposed to consciousness-in-itself which is Beyond
all terms, hypotheses, qualifications etc) although such "substance"
is smooth and singular. In contradistinction to the abstract
"materia" or intelligent substance of Idea, the pattern-of-Being
which is implied in the Idea expresses the state of nature-matter.
As the pattern-of-being it manifests the potential of inertia,
resistance, opacity and self-enfolded limit.
Thus its ideoform
coherence and polarized integrity reflect not simply the response
of Absolute-Identity to the potential of Limit within Itself; it
manifests the value of that Identity when, in Its ideoform holism as
Light, It permits the validity and integrity of the proposition of
Limit as a functional reality and confronts it, in effect, as an
exteriorizing quality beyond the self-consonance of Its substance.
The pattern-of-Being which spreads through Infinity beneath the
reflective Light of Identity, takes its point of departure from the
principle of Limit "in itself" and therefore from the primordial,
contractile "centrism" or hypothetical self-enclosure of the
non-dimensional "Point-being". Regardless whether a "thing" has the
relative dimensions of a tea-cup or a galaxy billions of light years
in extent, with respect to Infinite it exists as Limit or infinitely
contractile reduction and so may be represented through the
minimalism of the geometric Point.
This "point" is the basis of substance in the perceptual sense; it
is the basic "information" of all cognizable reality, and so
comprises the stuff of nature-matter. Unextended in itself but
indefinitely extensible, it is the primordial Akash, or root of spatiality known in
the East as Mula-prakriti. Under Self-reflective Gaze of Identity
its abstract hypothesis of "limit" diffuses abstractly, polarizing
in limitless versions of itself mutually mirroring and multiplying
by cubic self-displacements so as to furnish the variable
coordinate network in the grid-alignments (or "intramural filters")
of ideo-form Perception.
Opaque and unextended in itself, the substance of "Prakriti"
blossoms jewel-like from the Dark (kaleidoscopically mirroring in
infinite regress the noetic geometries faceting energy-matter of the
nature currents) under reflective Light of Line. It appears as the
meta-cosmic Crystal variously known as the bejeweled pavilions, nets
and diamond spires of Buddha-land, the Sea of Glass of Revelation,
the crystalline Throne of Qabala etc
As such it constitutes the
eternally self-mirroring and reflectively reinforcing "substance" of
the multidimensional memory-engravings, or impressional "record", of
the Akasnic Space.
The codes and coordinate impressions of bejeweled, reflective Light
aren't contained in the matter of Akash; the Point-substance of
Prakrit is irreducible and opaque in itself as an infinitely
disruptive un-consciousness. But they are nested and stably
reinforced through the pointillist diffusion that bends all
reverberative beams under reflective Light of Idea.
As we learned in Part I, the Point-hypothesis of Limit functions
permanently and inexhaustibly in the form of Prakriti or the Spatial
Akash, the "black egg" of matter polarized under Light of Identity
into reflexive phases and geometrically regularizing facets; at the
same time it furnishes the "substance" from which souls or the
critical functional units of "learning", "development", and "growth"
are derived, as the means by which the opacity and disruption
specifically represented through the un-consciousness of the Akash
may be redeemed and ultimately belied.
And those "souls" are derived
in the same way that the basic undifferentiated opacity of the
"Akash" becomes the faceted medium through which the memory-codes of
the multidimensional geometries and their energy-networks are
conserved: the reflective and thus mirroring, self-duplicating Gaze
of intelligence belonging to the Ideoform Light-Beneath that Gaze,
the Akash not only "polarizes" into the functional field of the
cosmic "memory-coil" or multidimensional, cross-correlating
Pattern-of-Being; it polarizes out through the specific Fiat or
Intent of Divine Will innumerable eidetic versions of Itself (Le.
its Point-hypothesis) differentially "tagged" to function as
developmental soul-being.
Thus these "separate" point units, broken off as it were from the
basic undifferentiated Slag of the Akash, are specifically endowed
with an "individualized" spirit mirroring and recapitulating the One
Spirit; and such a unit is endowed with that "spirit" in the form it
would naturally take under conditions of its contractile
self-restriction or disruptive un-consciousness, as the hypothesis
of self-centralizing Limit.
It possesses that spirit as an
undifferentiated emptiness, an unquenchable desire or flame of
longing (initially without self-reflective capacity but with the
potential for self-reflection born of innate Void-being) having as
its abstract omological model or implicit, guiding Ideal the
conciliation and ultimate consistency between its "being" as limit,
and the illimitable self-congruence or homogeneity of Being it feels
flowing through and sustaining it. (See Part I as to how such a
soul-vehicle becomes "fitted" to its developmental destiny through
successive, patterning contexts.)
Such a unit first appears therefore in the form of nature-force
(i.e., Akasnic "matter", imbued with a differential drive as
individuated locus of unquenchable emptiness based on the
ubiquitous value of Void-being); it upsurges as the irrepressible
point-magnitude of the vital soul, migrating through restless sub-conscious apprenticeships in the elemental spheres.
Thus the Akash, eternally furnishing the basis of nature-substance and
functioning as the obliging "matter" of the delimiting patterns of
the universe, is nonetheless redeemed through self-representations
of itself deliberately "broken
off" from its undifferentiated Body (the "flying sparks" struck on
the Anvil of Matter by the Hammer of the Gods); without ever
diminishing its eternally renewable and Self-same substance, it is
eternally yielding eidetic versions of Itself under polarizing power
of the illuminative Idea, or Logoic Means.
Through those
"liberated" soul-units struck off from the undifferentiated lumpf or
matter-slag of Prakrit the primordial Point or Akashic substance of
nature is forever being freed, forever awakening through aeons of
vital apprenticeship to its reality as Divine Identity at Infinity
while at the same time eternally slumbering in the dark function of
its un-consciousness as the oncological root of Nature.
The actual "process" of breaking off the functional flotilla of
"souls" calculated to serve the awakening process of a particular
Logoic pattern, proceeds according to a predetermined amount, so
that under the form of a given Logoic universe there is an
uncountable bat finite number of souls at any given "time" to be
superintended and redeemed by the higher powers of Consciousness.
Keeping The Record Straight
One may ask (on the basis of reading Part I) how the irreducible
and undifferentiated soul-unit relates to or bears functional
relationship with the memory-patterns through which it associates as
a given context, since those patterns aren't engraved as parts
within it but are conserved in the reflective substance of the Akash
(from which the unit was derived). This seems indeed to be much the
same sort of Question as the canny princess asked the
philosopher-mathematician Descartes, Le. how can the "insubstantial
spirit" influence or affect the body through a corporeal agent such
as the pineal gland?
We see here however that "spirit" (or the soul-unit) and corporeal
substance are not radically different, or of dissimilar essence
from one another. They are not individually opaque to one another,
respectively walled up in their own universes of being like inert
objects. Rather, "spirit" (or the soul unit) is configured as a
fundamental emptiness-of-identity in its restrictive or centralizing
form of reference; it is not smugly self-contained or locked up
within its "own" being, but actively seeks the Means in the
extension of Identity so as to "broaden the base" of its potential
self-congruence and coextensive conformance.
Thus it makes
provisional equations of identity, on a one-to-one basis, with
configurations and perceptual patterns born of the "angle of
incidence" in the reflection of Limitless Light (as Ideoform Means);
it loans the whole and undifferentiated value of its Being as
Identity, to patterns representing equations or polarized ratios of
integration that seem to "solve" for the problem of self-consistency
and stable self-continuity.
And those patterns borrow the whole
value of its Identity by the same token, so that the resultant
"signature" which they encode or configure bears the specific value
of that unit-identity and no other; since Identity is irreducible,
the "identity" with which those provisional patterns
configure the
unity of their phenomenal equations is unmistakable and irreducible,
not to be confused with any other, as the very "suchness" of the
point-unit even though such Identity has no internal parts or
specifying "components".
This is how it is that a point-unit, vital-soul or Self-reflectively
conscious Soul-being may phasically "slumber" (as in the interval
between incarnations) and so intermittently separate from its
characterizing "memory-record" which is conserved in the Akash; and
yet when it awakens and resumes the continuity of impressioned
tendencies, it awakens to—and functions through—its "own"
memory-pattern (or returns to its "own" memory-body) and not some
arbitrary other—for those records or impressional engravings were
made by borrowing against the particular Identity of the
soul-unit—and all such Identity is irreducible as a "version" of
Infinitely Self-same Absolute Identity, even though it is
"individuated" and particularized as an oblique angular intersection
into the cross-coordinates of an involving pattern-of-being.
Identity takes the Self-luminous form of Idea in response to the
internal potential of creative Limit; but Identity takes the form of
Mind when the Light of Idea reflects upon the presence of Creative
Limit as an implicit ceding to its functional validity; for it is
under the fateful circumstance of such a cosmogonic moment that Idea
manifests as the enabling Pattern of Being, the functional means of
reconciling the Infinite and finite.
Mind is therefore equivalent to
a patterning process, enacted upon the Enchanted Loom of Void.
