As I see it the ABSOLUTE is the ABSOLUTE all the time.

To account for our presence, being, ex-istence. Perception, consciousness,
intelligence, etc. we are given to understand that even the most immense
MANIFESTATION is only a partial emanation or rather radiation from the ONE
ABSOLUTE.

Hence IT, the ABSOLUTE remains ever unchanged, as an immutable, inscrutable,
eternal background, whether there is Non-Manifestation (sleep, torpor,
rest...) or MANIFESTATION (activity).

For this to alternate, implies pulsation in duration, -- a timeless and
causeless CAUSE which has ever proceeded on the basis of three metaphysical
concepts:

UNITY, PURITY, LAW, ETERNAL VORTICAL (SPIRAL, CYCLIC) MOTION, AND "MATTER" -
THE LIMITATION OF EVER-CHANGING SHAPES AND FORMS.  

The implication as to "forms" is that there has to be a resident
intelligence that creates for itself fields of FORCE (or power) and
attracts, engages or repels similar entities (distance, dimension, level of
Intelligence, etc... being no limiting factors).  

The MONADS are posited as a universal shoal of UNITS that fill all SPACE and
have in themselves no dimension other than their innate BEING. 

The MONADS are deemed to comprise SPIRIT / MATTER in inextricable
coadunition, and cooperation, the polarity of these two, being bridged by
MIND (MAHAT - THE UNIVERSAL MIND) and its entire component of intelligent
"lives" or "selves" 

As MANIFESTATION proceeds.... - consult the SECRET DOCTRINE , Vol. 1, pp 14
-19 - it is all there, very plain an direct.

Once that we pass in thought from .... UNITY, DUALITY supervenes in the
contrast of SPIRIT and MATTER.

Confusion arises because we find it pas "in thought" from the idea of a
solid atom of "matter" to the actuality of a whirling series of forces
concentrated in a spiral motion around a still more tenuous yet powerful
center. 

The problem of origin and sustaining of such motion remains. 

Best wishes,

Dallas

I am saying that we cannot imagine an Absolute, because, in order to
do so, we have to consider ourselves apart from it, which makes it no 
longer an Absolute.
