THE HOLIEST The Base
Tablet Two
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
(John 1:1-3)
<1>Because of the desire of God, the balance between the creative forces (
) was disturbed and the three operative powers were released.
<2>The operative power of the satva guna (sentient force), with the presence of the operative power of the tama guna, brought the feeling of "I know" (intelligence) into play. <3>The operative power of the raja guna (mutative force), with the presence of the active tama guna, invoked the feeling of "I do" (action, energy), <4>and the release of the operative power of the tama guna resulted in the manifestation of fine ethereal factors. Then the feeling of "I have done" (memory) was awakened.
<5>With this, the three parts of the ego were evolved and the unit consciousnesses came into existence; <6>unit consciousness is the manifestation of consciousness in the gross universe in the illusive state of being separate from the rest (God).
<7>This illusion of being separate from the universe was created because of the influences of the ego ("I"). This resulted in unhappiness and causing the unit consciousnesses to become lost, suffer, and inflict suffering on others also.
<8>The dot in the middle of the circle represents this release of the operative powers of the three gunas which created the vibration. <9>This sound vibration, which is the same as the creative forces in the universe, is The Word (
). This Word, or the creative powers in the universe, is the one responsible for all things being created.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(John 1:4-5)
<10>The life-force (energy, movement) is the power of the raja guna which is in the universe, "In him was life." In the higher level when this energy (life) is in the sentient state (light, satva) it is the light of the unit consciousness (man).
<11>But because of the influence of the tama guna (darkness), this energy or life-force (prana) becomes bondage. So the light, although always present, will not be comprehended by this darkened consciousness, "and the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
<12>The life-force in the universe is prana (raja guna) and is in God (universe), "In him was life." Also satva guna in the operative state is the light of the consciousness. This light which comes alive with life (raja guna) is also in every man (
), "and the life was the light of men."
<13>But those who are darkened by ignorance (power of the tama guna) "comprehended it not." <14>So the life is raja guna, the light is satva guna, and darkness is the tama guna (separate "I") in the universe.
<15>Also the universe consists of two polarities, "positive and negative" or satva and tama (
). The satva guna is positive and the tama guna is negative. <16>However, the raja guna exists in the universe as neutral and will gain the polarity of the dominating force. If the tama dominates, the raja (action) becomes bondage. If the satva dominates, the raja becomes positive and Divine (light).
