To more or less clarify this in "the language of the age," or in scientific 
terms for those of us of a more technical bent... CONSCIOUSNESS, experienced 
(when MANIFEST) as individualized AWARENESS, is simply the functional 
attribute of the "dimensionless" LAYA-or ZERO-POINTS that fill all of 
"metric" space ("whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is 
nowhere")... With each such manifest "zero-point" identically reflecting all 
the energetic and informative aspects of the original ABSOLUTE, or "noumenal" 
ZERO-POINT of UNIVERSAL ORIGIN -- and containing the "abstract motion" which  
constitutes the total "electrical energy" of the KOSMOS (the all containing 
"Absolute space") prior to the manifestation of our particular COSMOS (called 
"Universe," after its final transformation into our or metric-space and its 
myriad "physical" beings). 

This primal Electrical or "MOTIONAL ENERGY" also "carries" (as "interference 
patterns" of abstract "spinergy" resting in PRALAYA) all the root holographic 
"Images" of the "INFORMATIVE" and "IMAGINATIVE" memory of our Universes' 
previous MANVANTARA. Together, the primal "Electricity" and the sleeping 
"Memory patterns" are the roots of both MAHAT and FOHAT, which, when 
awakened, INFORM and EMPOWER the subsequent genesis of the Cosmos in 
accordance with the "formulas" and "descriptions" partially enumerated and 
expounded in the Book of Dzyan, and further explained (albeit superficially, 
due to the limits of the English language) in the Secret Doctrine. (Thus, the 
requirement of "intuition" as a prerequisite of complete understanding.)  

MATTER, then, is this "abstract motion" -- envisioned as non-dimensional, non 
polar, non local, circular "spin" (of primal space) or "spinergy," around its 
zero-point (the "seven invisible robes of the "Mother," as spoken of in the 
Book of Dzyan) that EMANATES spirally out of the Kosmos and expands or 
"inflates" -- while condensing in increasing degrees of density into the 
three, four, seven, etc., levels, PLANES, "fields" and other "attributes" of 
circular metric (spherical) SPACE. This inner expansion appears as 
multidimensional, coadunate and coenergetic FIELDS, each composed of infinite 
lines ("Strings") or RAYS of force that are formed by continuous loops of 
triple cyclic energy flow of different aspects of primal magnetic (derivative 
of "electrical") forces circling through all six directions of 3-dimensional 
space (up, down, N, E, S, W) around the three polar axes (reflecting the 
three geometric axes of the DIAMOND HEART) and through the "zero-point" 
center of every manifest non-metric "zero-point energy" field (as well as 
each of their derivative metric "space-time" or "physical" energy fields).  

Imagine the formation of each individual spherical zero-point-spatial field 
or sub field as being similar to a ball of string -- with every one of its 
continuous outer windings crossing twice through the geometric center of the 
ball and leaving and entering from the opposite poles of one of its three 
primary axes (like the magnetic field of the Earth) where the beginning and 
ends of these strings join adjacent coadunate fields through their 
"zero-points" on different levels of spatial substantiality. Imagine, also, 
all these points as being "non-locally" in one place, or "primal space," 
empty of all attributed (but not aspects) -- and that only "appear" (using 
our physical eyes and brain on this level of substantiality) to be spread out 
as separate, local points through metric (or measurable) space. This, 
incidentally, is the meaning behind the Vedantic and Buddhistic concepts that 
the physical world is an "illusion," or that everything we experience in and 
of it is "empty" or "void." Of course, from a broader viewpoint, this also 
infers that nothing on this level stays constant or permanent through Time, 
and is in constant flux or change... But, does not mean that nothing "exists" 
in the reality of each "moment of time" (as we experience them with our 
physical tools of observation, from their same physical level -- in which we 
also exist as Body and Mind linked, through the endless and beginningless 
RAYS of Spirit, to our own individual and eternal zero-point of awareness).

The difficulty in such imagining using the finite, lower mind, is that the 
adjacent fields are both inside and outside of the "ball of circular energy 
strings" and differ in density as well as energy levels, frequency "phase," 
or "spectrum"... But, by use of the "imagination" coupled with the direct 
perception of ideas, or the "awakening" the "intuition" in the higher mind, 
it is possible to understand and visualize these conditions. The trick (yogic 
method:-) is -- by understanding the dual nature of both mind and brain -- to 
position ones focus of consciousness or "concentrated awareness" so as to 
look with the "inner eye" from the zero-point center outward, and 
simultaneously (alternately, in the cycle of the "ultimate division of time") 
from the outside inward. Incidentally, Patanjali speaks of this, as well as 
describes the method of arriving at such concentration (based on the 
observation that the mind can hold only one "image" or thought at a time) 
through progressive meditational practice "with-and without a seed." The 
ultimate goal, of course, being the arrival at "enlightenment" or "isolation 
of the Soul or Self" which comes about through an understanding of the 
"ultimate division of time."

Simply put, from the standpoint of the "primal" or initial, ideal field 
formation, this expansion of the original ZERO-POINT ENERGY forms a finite 
series of fields within fields within fields, etc. (like soap bubbles, within 
bubbles, within bubbles...) in descending orders of increasing density and 
decreasing energy -- extending from the subtlest ATMA fields, through the 
five inner sub-fields (BUDDHI, MANAS, KAMA, PRANA, ASTRAL), to the densest 
PHYSICAL BODY fields of every manifest form -- including the smallest sub 
quark to the largest galactic cluster and all non organic and organic forms 
in between. ("As above, so below.") Thus, because there is only one primal 
energy rooted in every reflected zero-point -- everything in the universe is 
intimately connected to consciousness or Spirit at the root of their being. 

Note that the first surrounding field of all the subsequent inner fields 
(after the prior, FIRST CAUSE, or PARABRAHM) is the Field of the SUPREME 
SPIRIT of the COSMOS (BRAHMA), and is the "Ring Pass Not" of the esoteric 
teachings out of which MAHATMA -- the "Spirit in ALL of Nature," from which 
comes ATMA, the "Spirit in man" -- springs forth. 

For a symbolic cross-sectional picture of how these fields initially involve 
and evolve ideally into their 3-dimensional cyclic patterns -- (before their 
holographic image interference patterns of "information," empowered by the 
Force of FOHAT, guided by the WILL+MIND [Kryashakti] power of the CHOHAN 
BUILDERS, and governed by the cyclic laws of EVOLUTION, or KARMA, "inform" 
these fields as they "revolve" around their individual LAYA points to 
eventually, by descending and evolving through all the fourteen fold primary 
fields and sub fields, form the stars, galaxies, planets, etc., and continue 
the involution and evolution of all the myriad forms that make up the known 
Universe and all its, infinitely divisable, seven fold "beings") -- see the 
"chakrafield" diagram at: 
http://members.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html

NOTE: As advised by HPB, be careful not to take any symbolic diagrams as 
pictorial realities -- since the actual inner field structures of our 
infinitely complex multidimensional, multiphase Universe, are both "coadunate 
but not consubstantial," linear and non-linear, intangible and tangible, 
measurable and unmeasurable, etc. (This, in essence, means that the fields of 
differing substantiality, energy level and quality interpenetrate each other 
and that their zero-point centers are essentially the same point.) Also note, 
that not all of the Universe's individual forms can be "pictured" or imagined 
by the finite lower brain-mind or KAMA MANAS, which can only envision as far 
as the finite three dimensions of the PHYSICAL field structures of which it 
is an integral part. 

I hope this discussion can help clarify our understandings a bit further.

field structure of the universe, with respect to visual perception, can be
