COMPENDIUM OF METAPHYSICS V

There is only a single consciousness containing within itself the full potentiality for everything ever created. This is the consciousness of ALL THAT IS. Divine consciousness supports the entire consciousness of the Cosmos, encompassing each of the individual consciousnesses. The created Cosmos contains innumerable life forms within its vibratory pulsations. These myriad lives represent multiplicity and serve the purpose of being vehicles of manifestation for SPIRIT or THE ONE. Thus everything, known and unknown to us, surges from this FORCE, lives within it, and is because of it. Hence, the whole Cosmos is underlined by SPIRIT; absolutely nothing exists in an isolated form. Manifestation encompasses an infinite spectrum of vibrations (LIFE FORCE is energy and energy is movement or vibration), which determine the nature of the manifested lives and their level of consciousness. On one extreme of this spectrum of vibratory frequencies we have SPIRIT, which exhibits vibratory activity with a tremendously high frequency; and on the other end of the spectrum, where the vibratory frequencies are very low, we find dense matter. Both extremes and everything between them are all varied manifestations of THE ALL (GOD); and ultimately all must return to its SOURCE. The concrete world of phenomena is nothing less than the external concretization of SPIRITUAL REALITY. All lives take form and manifest in a cyclical, periodical fashion. Humans do so through the method of reincarnation, unfolding consciousness until the soul supremacy is perfected, its light nature exposed, and it merges in full consciousness with the Greater Consciousness. Each one of us is an individual expression of THE ALL, which is the formless essence and power residing deep inside everything in existence. It can be found everywhere in Creation. THE ALL, THE ONE limits parts of its infinite SELF by becoming many finite forms. DIVINE ESSENCE is the unity among the multiplicity of forms in the Cosmos. SPIRIT is both the very high, pure transcendental, and the ever present, immanent core of existence that embraces all. The Cosmos is part of an endless process or eternal dance of creation which alternates between two phases: one phase of pure potentiality (the return to silence and rest), and other phase of objective manifestation (going out to activity). Thus a period of external manifestation, evolving through varied cycles toward completion, is followed by a period of dissolution, re-absorption, and rest into the infinite field of possibilities (The Source). All manifestation, the Cosmos with all created things and beings, is the outcome of the out movement of an inner infinite energy and therefore it is comprised within this ABSOLUTE ENERGY or GOD. So we have that the fundamental ABSOLUTE REALITY (GOD ENERGY), in order to initiate a period of external manifestation, extends Itself, forgets Itself, and sacrifices Itself into Its own play of Creation which is nevertheless still Spirit, or Spirit in objective action through the experiential realms of Creation. It is a higher sound vibration the primal current that initiates the energy flow of the Cosmos toward physical expression, and it is light vibration that provides the primordial substance for Creation, which unfolds under the guidance of certain Cosmic Laws. Hence, sound and light vibrations constitute the fundamental character of the Cosmos. Sonic expansion induces definite patterns of energy (sacred geometry) within the primordial substance of light, which is undifferentiated ether that carries information, energy and consciousness (spirit/soul), and will subsequently embed everything and being in manifestation. All things and beings in Creation contain energy, information, life force and awareness; everything is alive! The Light Current consists of 12 distinct emanations of colored light, or the 12 Rays of Creation which eventually will manifest the entire Cosmos with its innumerable series of hierarchies of form, through further and further processes of differentiation. Thus the Light Current is the product of the thought and consciousness of THE ALL, manifesting as 12 Rays of Creation. The 12 Cosmic Rays of Creation emerge from the original 12 Monads or spirit sparks. All beings in the infinite Cosmos emanate secondarily, as Monads, from one of the subdivisions of the 12 Cosmic Monads; that is, they exist within the Life of one of the Creative Rays. The 12 Rays of Creation originate the entirety of the manifested Cosmos by functioning together in perfect harmony and concordance with the Divine Plan of Creation within the mind of God. Thus they are the light substance that constitute the Cosmos, and the embodiments of 12 kinds of energy (12 breaths of the One Life), demonstrating qualities of the manifested Deity. They are the doers that follow Divine Purpose. The Ray's energies flow through everything in existence and although they are continuously present, they function cyclically with one of them being predominant over the others in different cycles. Te Rays of Creation are the generative power of God and represent the totality of Divine Consciousness in the Cosmos. The cosmic planes of existence, resulting from the differentiation process in Creation, exhibit different states of substance vibration and are regions or fields in which the variegated combinations of spirit/substance/energy exist experiencing different realities. Dimensions are stages of being or consciousness that perceive different realities and are intermingled within the planes of existence. In manifestation, evolution and transformation occurs along two parallel lines: 1- Evolution of consciousness (awakening of consciousness) or spiritual evolution, which involves Life force energy. 2- Evolution of form or physical evolution, which deals with the vehicles or bodies for the use of the Life force Our different human bodies fall under the general influence of the various Cosmic Creative Rays and their specific energies, thus this aspect is added to our complex makeup. Each of these bodies or principles has a general correspondence with each of the Solar System' planes of existence and the seven Cosmic Creative Rays that preside over them. However, each individual possesses his/her own particular Rays makeup. Also, each energy center in the human body functions under the predominant influence of one of the seven Cosmic Creative Rays. However, all Rays have an impact, with their energy, on each of the chakras.
