Big question:  What is the differencebetween 1 and 0?(same as between 10 and 0)

 

Using set notation and praying for clarity:

 

zero or  (        )

 

one or (  (  )  )

 

 

zero is the empty set but is no longer theempty set as soon as it just passes beginning to contain the empty set.

 

Let (       ) represent Unconsciousness(Total Unconditioned Consciousness.

 

Then ( (    ) ) would represent Consciousness.  Unconsciousness would would no longer be Unconscious just after the beginning of becoming aware of Unconsciousness.

 

What would be the symbol of the dawn of this differentiation?

 

Perhaps:    (  .  )

 

 

 

  

 

1. Unconsciousness

 

 

2. Consciousness of Unconsciousness

 

 

3. Consciousness of the balance point of these two wherein Unconsciousness is beginning to become Conscious of Unconsciousness

 

 

or

 

 

1. Unconsciousness

 

2. Consciousness

 

3. Consciousness of Unconscious and Consciouness( at the point of balance between the two)

 

or, back into set notation:

 

 

1. (              )

 

2. (     (    )     )

 

3. (    (   ), (  (  )  )   )

 

 

And using theosophical symbols, hoping they mean the same:

 

 

1.

 

2. (      )

 

3. (  .  )

 

 

 

Folly or a very interesting meditation excercise?(or perhaps something inbetween?)
