Based on the original statement that "the Absolute is relative and the
Relative is absolute"... The Absolute (as the unchanging One) can only be relative
in its relationship with other absolutes.
And, the Relative (as the ever changing Whole) can only be absolute in its
relationship with other relatives.

View does not mean a literal sight. A concept is a view. The Absolute has no

One must take into consideration a direction of meaning from the use of words.
It is like the word "THAT". "THAT" represents a "thing". The Absolute is not
a "thing".
One goes beyond the literal meaning of "THAT" in order to grasp the concept.
"View" can also be taken in the same manner. One can substitute
"relationship" for "view". As an example :
The Absolute is Relative in the relationship of the Relative.
The Relative is Absolute in the relationship of the Absolute.
