Re: Theos-World No. 9 (bit of numerology/maths)

ssk,

Thanks. The Soul manifests periodically as the appearance of ever-
perfecting personalities. It is beyond all-possible-thought, beyond even
the perfected Intellect. And existence does not exist. To exist is to be
exhiled. Existence IS existence, nothing for it to be exhiled from. It is
the All. Not being. Not non-being. But both. I agree. Thanks. In this
context 0 is existent. I get easily boggled. Doubt everything I write,
please. I'm struggling.
