Dallas suggests:


ABSOLUTENESS and THE ONE ABSOLUTE UNITY

We never escape from them nor can we "step aside" (except in most
abstract thought) from the metaphysical UNIVERSE in which
everything that we consider important are only DIVISIONS of the
ONE

Periodically, the SECRET DOCTRINE states, there is sweeping over
a portion of this absoluteness MANIFESTATION. This is rules by
the UNIVERSAL KARMA.

KARMA is called "an emanation of beings."

In other words, concurrent in eternity with ABSOLUTENESS that is
totally undefinable, there are "objects of manifestation" which
might (as the S.D. does) designate as MONADS or eternal units of
SPIRIT/MATTER.

If for purposes of analysis, one desires to consider the pattern
of evolution / involution, of : breathing out and breathing in,
then of necessity from the

ABSOLUTENESS there emerges in IT the very first IDEA of
manifestation and the

UNMANIFESTED LOGOS begins to awake (S.D. I 27-29)

MANIFESTING LOGOS is the next stage as the necessary
organizations of the various powers, forces and material needed
for a re-awakening Universe are assembled, organized, united one
to the other, and made into KARMIC, viable units -- just as
interior to each one of us is the CENTRAL MONADIC SELF (Atma -
Buddhi - Manas) which employs many tools, such as mind, emotion,
vitality and astral and physical bodies to express itself on this
physical plane.

It is said cryptically, by an ancient Sage, that : THE ONE
desired to KNOW ITSELF, so it produced the CREATURES (each one in
its own image as a miniature) -- in which it could mirror all the
many aspects of ITSELF. As a "reward" for permitting such a
creation it promised each of those "Units of Life" -- MONADS --
the right and the power to eventually grow into ITSELF and KNOW
EVERYTHING -- which practice and situation it called "WISDOM" --
and the position of a LAW-abiding SAGE, to whom would be
entrusted an aspect of guidance and assistance to others." (this
is A VERY ROUGH TRANSLATION.)

It is clear that one has to take for granted:

1. the essential limitless UNIVERSE (or SPACE)

2, That is filled with LIFE and Life-units (INTELLIGENT AND
CONSCIOUS MONADS)

3, that all is ruled by just, fair and immutable LAWS all the
time., and

4. Every part of the Universe embodies the potentialities of THE
ONE, and is in effect an IMMORTAL PILGRIM to the shore of
Perfection which looms in the distance of time and space far
away.

Best wishes,

Dallas

Perhaps one and many are a response to consciousness and objects
coming
into contact. The one never becomes many except in the
imagination of the
ego ( a temporary phenomena of consciousness perceiving objects
(self and
other))
