Maybe this scientifically oriented description of fundamental origins will
add a bit of clarity to the question of who am I? And, why I am I? (Or, at
least give us some further food for thought.)
Picture this. In the beginning, the Cosmos awakened from its pralayic sleep
and emanated (manifested) itself as a single ray of the Absolute or primal
"spinergy," following a continuous three cycle sinusoidal path -- initially
forming three coadunate spherical fields (two inside the other as a monadic
unit) surrounding and interconnected with their common central zero (laya)
point of origin. This is the only path that the initial abstract, nonlinear
motion of noumenal space can follow in order to transform into the concrete
linear motion of phenomenal space, while maintaining a continuous cyclic and
self sustaining flow of primal energy necessary for supporting the entire
universe until it ultimately returns again to its pre-manifest pralaya state.
Therefore, since the initial radiant line of energy flow follows a spiral
path on the surface of the three spheres and continues in endless triple
vortical cycles, always passing in and out of the center of the endlessly
spinning central point of origin (twice in each triple cycle) -- we can
picture this initial Monad, as twin inner bubbles of opposite polarity
(having infinitesimally thin surfaces of string–like lines of moving force)
connected to each other at the center point of origin of their surrounding
primal field, and also connected to the primal field at their outer or
opposite poles. To visualize the formation of these fields within fields, see
symbolic cross sectional field diagrams at the following web site:
http://members.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html
Thus, the zero (or laya) point of origin of the initial triune cosmic field
represents pure SPIRIT, or universal CONSCIOUSNESS, and is the center of
individual cosmic awareness, or "I AM THAT I AM" -- the ONE universal SELF,
centered in its surrounding spiritual field, that, after manifestation, is
fully conscious of its dual coadunate (therefore, resonantly linked) inner
fields of action, ultimately representing both MIND and MATTER in intimate
embrace.
The surrounding triple field centered on this zero-point, initially (and in
further differentiation's around additional coadunate zero-points) represents
Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, Mulaprakriti-Prakriti-Perusha, Spirit-Mahat-Matter,
Atma-Buddhi-Manas, etc.... With the initial central zero (laya) point being,
metaphorically, the "window of Self awareness and willful intent" between the
outer phenomenal and the inner noumenal universe. And, with the outer field
of the primal monad being the "Ring Pass Not" of universal consciousness --
the limiting barrier beyond which all individually conscious entities
involved within the primal field cannot reach. (This is the realm of the
unknown,
absolute, No Thing or Ein-Soph [to the Kabbalists], or Parabrahm [to the
Vedantists], or Allah [to the Sufis], or Void, Emptiness or Sunyata [to the
Buddhists]).
As these dual inner fields further involve analogously (as above, so below)
and, in turn, add dual inner fields surrounding their own central zero
points, and as these new inner fields continue to each involve similar dual
fields within themselves, ad infinitum -- an infinitude of zero points,
reflecting the original I AM THAT I AM, appear -- each, as a unique,
individualized self awareness or consciousness of their own surrounding
triple monadic fields. Thus, everything in the universe has its basis in
consciousness, and therefore, has the potential of individual self awareness,
as well as ultimate Universal or Cosmic SELF awareness.
Incidentally, the apparent non locality of these infinitude of zero-points
(as well as their "entanglement" on the quantum level) is due to the fact
that they are dimensionless (and thus, metaphysically, in the same place) and
the dimensional triple field that surrounds them is coenergetically
connected, thereby, to all other zero-point fields. Thus, it is said in the
occult catechism that; "The center of the universe is everywhere and its
circumference nowhere."
Eventually, through a long series of analogous (fractalized) involutionary
permutations, and parallel evolutions of fields within fields within fields,
etc., etc. -- resulting in hierarchies within hierarchies within hierarchies,
from galaxies to suns to planets, etc., and from minerals to molecules to
microorganisms to plants to animals, and ultimately to mankind -- as
individually self conscious Human beings. Later, as mankind falls lower and
lower into more materialized forms, and after the awakening of manas, the
awareness of individual self appears to be separate from all other selves...
But is actually a reflection of the original zero-point of universal SELF
(that is everywhere coadunate) within the triune monadic fields (surrounding
each point of individualized awareness) -- that are, fundamentally, harmonic
resonant transformations of the initial emanative ray of the "primal
beginning" or Absolute origin. (Incidentally, this is the root of the
fundamental laws of karma, action-reaction, cause-effect, etc.) Therefore,
such apparent separateness is an illusion due to lack of knowlege of the
three fundamental principles of universal origin, cyclic law, and
involution/evolution.
Therefore, while our individual triune monadic field's central point of
origin is consciously aware of our unique selfhood, or I Am I, as well as our
uniquely interlinked mind and body as apparently separate, although
interdependent and interlinked entities, it is, in essence, simply an
individual ray of the living energy or "light" emanating from the Universal
Source, and reflected through its hierarchical centers, starting from the
original Ah Hi and Dhyan Chohanic entities, and continuing to their
zero-point reflections in and through the Solar energies that gives support
to all beings living on the planetary bodies (also living beings) located
within the surrounding radiant field of sidereal light emanating from the
central Sun, and through the "son Sun" of our individually conscious solar
system.
Thus, our individualized zero point of consciousness or self awareness
(reflecting the original zero-point of cosmic, galactic, and lastly, solar
origin) -- centered within our individual triune monadic field (i.e., between
Buddhi and Manas) -- gives us an eternal awareness of our I AM I sense of
individual Self as being in unity with all other individualized higher Selves
emanating from the same source.
However, when we perceive our center of self awareness as being any
zero-point in or below the field of mind, we may mistakenly perceive our
individual self as being separate from all other selves -- although, all
selves stem from the same I AM THAT I AM, the universal SELF of ALL, that
initially began these primal, and within them, cosmic and manvantaric cycles
of involution and subsequent evolution.
This is not the entire story, but I hope it is sufficient to answer our
initial questions.
