The Fall An example of superstition or misinterpretation of cosmic phenomena is "The Fall" from grace. There are countless stories and interpretations of this seminal event. In reviewing the natural principles that govern matter and energy we can see a different point of view. In the beginning there was only Quiescent Mind. This Mind thought no thoughts and experienced no knowing, dreaming or any activity of any kind. Then, for whatever reason, this Undifferentiated Mind stirred from its passive non-activity and thought a thought. This stirring of the Mind into activity and shattered the quiet and peace of nondifferentiation. For now there were two states of the One Mind. An active motion and a non-active passive non-motion. Thus the war began. The One Mind is a potent latent state of no discernible features. It simply IS. The new Active Thought, in order to be active, had two states. These two states struggled between themselves for supremacy while the Active Thought periodically sought its own self identification and answered to its memory of the Oneness from whence it came. The One Quiet Mind was itself and was all that existed. The Activated Thought sought to be and know itself by becoming active instead of quiescent. It struggled to be - just as the quiet Mind desired to be. A nonseparation took place wherein the unmoving Quiet Mind assumed motion of thinking. Motion implies seeming apparent opposite states such as space and time and polarity. Opposites interact and intermingle as their mutual attraction and antagonism sequentially predominates - first attracting each other then repelling each other. First one pole exerts preponderance then the other assumes control in a never ending cosmic dance of push and pull. In this back and forth struggle or intermingling of mutually antagonistic states rotation insues much as dancers rotate and revolve around and about each other in their swirling motion in rhythmic cadence. This swirling pattern of motion accelerates and intensifies until the co-power of the two opposing states reaches a maximum. The acceleration and intensification is driven by the Active Thought. This one-sided drive to be isolated and onto itself is countered by an always equal desire for unity and return to the undifferentiated state of One Mindedness. At the point of maximum opposition of these two forces or desires the initial acceleration and intensification towards action and separation expends itself by relenquishing its initial desire for separation by giving in to the opposing desire of return to unity, from whence it originated. The Active Thought is and always was part of the Undifferentiated Mind. It simply became so self-enamored with its own self-identity it simply forgot from whence it came. And it failed to notice, so taken with its self-importance, that it is a totally connected expression of the Undifferentiated Mind. |
