Mauri,
Thanks for your response, as always. I need to clarify to you my use 
of the term
"Gnomon," I use the word in the sense of a Sundial that has a central 
Pylon vertical
at the center and as a result casts a shadow caused by the Suns light, 
the shadow
is cast and moves on the Dial surface and "indicates" the time of day. I 
am not 
intending any other form such as "Gnosis" or a person's knowledge or 
deficiency of 
knowledge. I only used the term as a tool meaning "Indicator" which 
distinguishes
between Light and Darkness, Primary and Secondary, Original Nature and 
Corporeal
Carnate Nature as a Metaphor. 

But, I do agree that we are all Gnomons or indicators as we are all at 
this level
unique differentiation's and human beings , "Seekers" if you will, or we 
would not be on
this list. 
The True and the Secondary are not a representation or assessment of any 
one in 
particular, but are only referencing a Metaphysical Reality on the scale 
of magnitude
of the Creation in which we find our common participation as per Dallas's 
post today 
on the Globes and Rounds. 
Like I said, Karma has a Habitation, which means a definite locality of 
manifestation. It can only have activity or process when a Creation is in
manifestation and that is what I call the Secondary. The premise is that 
the Absolute
is Absolute by definition and remains unchanged and unmarked and not 
beholden to
Karma. Our Original Nature which is in the Absolute is unmarked and 
unstained and
in terms of the Absolute and Unity has never moved and never departed. So 
on the
scale of magnitude of our individuality here we are two realities, one 
awake in the Light,
the other asleep in the Darkness as the Gnostic would say. So there is 
neither
departing or arriving and "Lila" is the word used in India to communicate 
this overall
condition or process and translates as "sport" referencing Vishnu as 
Creator that 
in his sleep dreams the Universes. This only is a metaphor to indicate the 
Mayavic
reality when creation (the secondary) is referenced to the Primary, the 
Absolute.
