One might look at it as pure logic and not speculative theory and therefore
sincerely take it in. I am not one to judge but the quoted paragraph
resonates in that meditative space wherein one struggles to understand
Parabrahm or at least the microcosmic correspondence, and realizes
Mulaprakriti. It is much as with the physicists who try to picture a true
void at the highest levels of their purified imaginations, and using
mathematics, and come up with the vacuum filled with tremendous energy,
unbelievable energy, in every cubic centimeter. The True Void, when
pictured or conceived in anyway is no longer the True Void but only a
sublime, evolved appearance to the meditator, maximum observer effect!?

So. I don't know. Most scholars are going to be like me, trying to
express, but, falling short, but, the quotation reminds me of the necessity
for a thinker to have an abstract space first before being able to create
within that space. If I were nothing more than a mathematical point then
infinite abstract space would be a wonderful playground, the non-dimensional
within the dimensional. I'm sure I would create quite a stirr!
