Theos-Talk Archives (January 2009 Message tt00628)

Yes, OK, but I was referring to the creation and cessation of universes (I take the subtle point that we are that universe) and as such we are the infinite universe living in finite sectionsÂwhile in manifestation. Unless you are thinking that when the universe (us) is in Pralaya that there is still individulization or awareness of identify within and part of the all?

Of course she meant the numberless of monads, which are infinite.

means never ending - what does she mean then by numberless infinites?
