The mystery of simultaneous immanence and
transcendence
is impossible for the mind to comprehend.
An intuitive leap may mysteriously occur with blinding clarity ...
.. which
is not the conceptualization of the term/word "clarity".
This manifestation, this phenomenality ......... can come to exist only in
duality.
And yet that "that-which-you-are" and "this-what
you-appear-to-be"....
..the non-manifest and manifestation
...
... the
Noumenon and the phenomenon .....
.... the Absolute and the relative ......
.... are not two different.
Manifestation is not the "creation" of the non-Manifest,
but a
mirroring,
an imaging,
an objective expressing...
.... of it.
There is no inherent duality
between the subject and the object.
The Absolute is all there IS.
Hence the Absolute must necessarily transcend the relative,
because the
relative is only its image......
..... AND ......
... the Absolute must also be immanent in the Relative
because the relative has no
independent existence of its own.
The substance must necessarily at once transcend
and be immanent in the
shadow.
Thus manifestation appears in Consciousness,
and is cognized by
Consciousness,
only in Consciousness.
And it is thus, that duality is purely notional.
Consciousness acting through an individualized body-mind complex ....
....
which is itself Consciousness manifested as "so"
(i.e., a sentient
psychosomatic conditioned responsive biological organism) ....
.... is hence
the transcendence and the simultaneous immanence ....
....... there is no cognizer as an independent entity on its own ....
....apart ......... from the object cognized.
They are not separate.
Both the "cognizer" and the "cognized"...............
together ......
.... constitute the fact of cognizing.....
..... represents the functional aspect of Noumenon,
Which is pure potentiality.
Noumenon, as pure potentiality, as pure subjectivity,
has no objective
existence other than...
... as its manifestation.
The appearance thus is the perceived aspect,
and the interpretation
of the perceived aspect,
through the attribute of sentience,
is the perceptive
aspect of Consciousness in movement.
There are two aspects of the creationing of manifestation.
-The arising of the Universe.
-The cognizing of it.
The arousal of consciousness from the state of rest, the state of pure
awareness,
which is without consciousness of its own existence or presence ......
...... and ......
...... the arising of the apparent universe therein ....
..... is spontaneous and simultaneous.
Cognizing takes place through the sentience
(the attribute by which there is
a prevailing sense of being alive and present)
of sentient psycho-somatic
objects ......
...... which themselves are imaged-objects .....
..... within that mirroring
of the Absolute.
In the imaged-object .............. again as part of the mirroring ....
...
is the prevailing belief that it is the subject, cognizing the entire array
of objects ....
.. making up its world
....
... the world of loved ones,
unloved ones .......
... thus its world of relatings, objectives, goals, successes,
failures,
understandings, concepts etc., etc.
As a consequence of the very architecture of the imaged-object ...
.... is
the prevailing sense of such a thinking .
..such a
believing...
.. prevailing in
the imaged object.
Whereas, what is happening is that ....
...... both the cognizing
imaged-object, (thinking it is the subject) ....
.... AND ....
.... its cognized objects (which are once again imaged objects) .........
.......are both imaged objects ....
... within the mirroring of the Absolute.
In essence, ...............you ........
.......whatever you have assumed
yourself to be .....
....a spiritual seeker,
or an enlightened Guru, needing to save the seeker in
front,
needing to save the whole of humanity ......
..... or a regular Joe/Jane, who believes spirituality
is mumbo-jumbo for third-rate losers
who could not make it in life...
.... you do not live.
You are lived.
In the moment.
Lived exactly as a "danced image".
A "sage", a term used for a body-mind complex
in which
apperception of this has occurred .....
..... if the body-mind complex continues to be "alive", will
remain ......
... as much a "danced image" ........ as say a regular Joe.
With a simultaneous transcendence of the dancing... "as- the-sage"
.......
....in the form of a witnessing gestalt.
The sage dreams ............ and .......
......... also witnesses the
dream....
.... in simultaneous time.
Wakes up in the morning, brushes his teeth, reads the newspaper,
eats, goes about working which enables expenses to be paid,
responds to
questions posed .......
.... when no questions, no seekers ........ watches TV,
roots for his
favourite football team,
admires the vigour and energy and beauty
displayed
in a MTV program .....
..... relates to whatever needs relating
(shouting at the plumber for
screwing up the drainage system)...
...... discusses the finer subtleties between a Cohiba cigar and
ordinary cheroot,
Pamela Anderson and Meryl
Streep.....
... sips some fine Remy Martin
and goes to sleep when tired.
Exults when another seeker-object "gets" a subtle point....
...grieves at the memory of a loved sister.
All the time .......
....... a watching of an imaged object
(which society,
audience, popular media has labeled as a sage) ...
.. being danced ..
.. in
precisely the manner ..
.. such that there is a doing of all these activities
......
.... there is an arising of all these feelings
....
... in the moment
....
... moment to moment to moment.
The simultaneous immanence and transcendence.
