Dear Bill:

As I understand it, behind the concept of UNITY is the
unknown --hence, cannot be defined. Hence “"unthinkable and
unspeakable". How would we define ZERO - absence of any form or
limit. NO-THING -- undefinable -- an idea -- a “principle”
to some.

It is unprovable but, it is also a logical necessity.

>From NO THING or ZERO arise all differentiation, but this does
not change the nature or quality of the ZERO BACK-GROUND -- it
has none that we know of.

I don’t think it is “faith” but a reasoned approach.

What else could be substituted?

A “CREATOR ?” But then who created the CREATOR, and WHY ?

Quote of the Day (for May 9):

The Secret Doctrine establishes three fundamental propositions: -
(a) An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable PRINCIPLE
on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the
power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human
expression or similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of
thought - in the words of Mandukya, "unthinkable and
unspeakable." --

-Secret Doctrine Vol I Proem page 14. By Helena Blavatsky, 1888.

While I accept this proposition as true, I often wonder how we
conclude that the "unthinkable and unspeakable" is a PRINCIPLE.

Such is an unprovable assertion - hence its designation as a
fundamental proposition.

Faith is present whether we acknowledge it or not.

Bill
