Re: Theos-World A Question for the New Year

Yes. The Absolute cannot be thought of as an objective THING.  

Also, it cannot "know" anything. Since, if it did, it would have conditions, 
and thereby, couldn't be Absolute -- which means, "empty" of everyTHING.  

This doesn't say however that the Absolute can't be aware or conscious of its 
own emptiness -- as each of us could be of ours, if we reach that state of 
one-pointedness and absolute bliss in Nirvana or Samadhi. In that state, we 
can't know anyTHING either, since mind becomes transcended. 

The Absolute is the causeless cause that has no relationship to the relative 
or anyTHING else that emanates or projects as a hologram from its surrounding 
"Abstract Motion." And, "knowing" Mind doesn't appear until AFTER that 
occurs... The Mind or Buddhi-Manas, itself being only a hologram within that larger 
hologram (the first triple universal Monad) that emanates from the "Spinergy" 
(or Akasha) surrounding the Absolute zero-point.  

Thus, the mind and everyTHING else is relative to all the other holograms 
within that Master hologram. But, the Absolute, being mindless, not only cannot 
know anyTHING, but also is separate from that relative holographic universeit 
projects.   

However, philosophically speaking, the Absolute can also be considered as 
Relative -- since, being infinitely divisible -- there can be an infinite number 
of other Absolutes of which it is an unconditioned part. Thus, the Absolute 
zero-point center of our physical universe, which is everywhere throughout its 
projected space, and also, at our center of individual consciousness, is the 
only one we can talk about. And, then, only when -- no longer relative to any 
other THING -- we can say, "I am THAT I am."
