THE MATTER IS THE FIRST ASPECT OF ABSOLUTE (THINKING SUBSTANCE)

The Matter - is the first aspect of the Absolute, the first side of the Cosmic Substance, which is revealed to us as we seek to understand its nature.

The Matter - is an indication on the material reality of God, that the Space is not empty.

Often in occultism the Matter is equated to the Absolute.

Only the Matter is always present and in any state of the Creator - and unmanifested, and manifested - and lies at the heart of everything.

In the religious treatises unmanifested Absolute is often identified with the Mother and is presented as the Virgin Mother (Virgin Egg). The Feminine Origin deprived of Masculine.

“The Eternal Parent wrapped in her Ever-Invisible Robes, had slumbered once again for Seven Eternities” (E. Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine 1, Book Dzyan, Stanza 1.1).

The Matter, the Spirit and the Soul are merged into a one whole at each point of the Manifested Absolute.

They are the faces of the Creator, its aspects.

Three aspects of Absolute – these are three of its faces, the three parties with which we can examine each of its points.

The Matter - is itself Spatial Tissue.

The Spirit - it is an idea that arises in this Tissue.

And the Soul - this is sphere in which the Spirit appears and disappears.

The word Tao - this is another name for the Space. Valery Pereleshin translated the word "Tao" as "Truth".

There was something vague in the distance,

Arose before Heaven and Earth:

It is inaudible and can not see,

By this are full of all things forever.

It's - the Beginning for Heaven and Earth.

The universe emerged from it,

And therein the mother of life lies.

Who is this mother in the dark will find,

Will know with her and her children.

And who at first will understand her kids,

Immediately and the mother will, and she

Is immortal and full of itself.

I would not know the name to it,

But I named her by the Truth.

Is it easy to describe its nature?

Great, movable and alive,

Cognition of is not available, and is easily lost.

4 (56)

So great is only truth and sky...".

Tao is named the Truth. It’s the synonym of Absolute, the One Reality. The Truth - is Matter - "the mother of being", "mother in the darkness" (Matter, Darkness).

There is “an Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless and Immutable PRINCIPLE, on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought -- in the words of Mandukya, "unthinkable and unspeakable” (HPB, The Secret Doctrine; Vol. 1, pg. 14).

Darkness, Water, Chaos, One Reality, Primordial Depth Mulaprakriti Rootless Root, the Virgin Mother, the Substance-Principle, Svabhavat, Oeaohoo, Kali Hamsa, Water of Life, Absolute, Space, Truth, Primordial Mother giving birth, Limitless All, Eternal Not-Being, Limitless Circle, Zero, World womb, Virgin Egg, Ein-Sof, Gaia, Devamatri, World Root, Not-Number.

That not all of the determinations that there are, only a certain percentage of them.

The Absolut in the unmanifested state is characterized by the fact that the Matter and the Spirit in it exist as a single whole. It is the One Matter-Spirit.

The Intelligent Plastic Substance-Principle exists as Svabhava - "independent", "per se".

“That central Reality can be called by any name that man may choose according to his mental or emotional bent, racial tradition and heritage, for it cannot be defined or conditioned by names. Human beings perforce always use names in order to express that which they sense, feel and know, both of the phenomenal and also of the intangible” (Alice Bailey, The Reappearance of the Christ, Chapter 6 ).

Maya, giving the birth to the Buddha and Mary - the mother of Jesus Christ – are the symbolic representation of the Matter, the first hypostasis of God.

And the Buddha and Christ can be seen as images of Soul, Son. Father of Soul, of Son - the Spirit. Another name of Maya – is Illusion.

Ancient Egyptian Isis, the sister and wife of Osiris - it is also a symbol of the Matter. Substance got married with her brother - the Spirit, the God Osiris. Gore – the child of Isis and Osiris - is the Soul.

Ancient Greek Rhea, wife and sister of Cronos – is an expression for the Matter too.

Cronos and Rhea – are the Titans, the children of Uranus and Gaea.

Gaia and Uranus - Earth and Sky – are the Matter and Spirit, taken outside the manifested state.

While Cronos and Rhea - it's all the same, the Matter and the Spirit involved in the formation of the Universe and the "birth of the Olympian gods". Olympus in this case symbolizes all our Universe, entire world around us. Olympian gods - are the building principles.

Any God of Time, for example, Zeroana-Arkan, is the Spirit that uses Matter as a basis for manifestation.

Cronos as a symbol of the Spirit devours its children born by Rhea. And after all just on this - on the destruction of Impulse Manifestation occurring after his birth - is based the whole mechanism functioning of every Building Block of the Universe.

In Hinduism we meet with such concepts as Prakriti and Purusha. It's all the same Matter and Spirit, serving by reason for the appearance in the original substance the visibility, i.e. the Soul.

"Fiery Fish of Life" - is also Matter, "fertilized" with the Spirit.

"So say the ancient Comments on Stanza IV. Mother is the fiery Fish of Life. It spawns and Breath (Motion) heats and develops it. Grain (Caviar) soon attracted to each other, forming clots in the Ocean (Space) " ("The Secret Doctrine", Volume 1, H. P. Blavatsky).

"Breath", "Movement" in this quote symbolizes the Spirit, the Father, the second aspect of the Creator. "Grains", "Caviar", "Clots" - are Souls, elementary particles.

You can find still many synonyms for Mother, in which is manifested the Spirit, and which together generate the Soul – is the third hypostasis of God.

“To render these ideas clearer to the general reader, let him set out with the postulate that there is One Absolute Reality which antecedes all manifested, conditioned, being. This Infinite and Eternal Cause -- dimly formulated in the "Unconscious" and "Unknowable" of current European philosophy -- is the Rootless Root of "all that was, is, or ever shall be”. It is of course devoid of all attributes and is essentially without any relation to ... It is "Be-ness" rather than Being (in Sanskrit, Sat), and is beyond all thought or speculation ("The Secret Doctrine", Volume 1,Proem, H. P. Blavatsky).

This is "Absolute Abstract Space, representing bare subjectivity, the one thing which no human mind can either exclude from any conception, or conceive of by itself" ("The Secret Doctrine", Volume 1, Proem, H.P. Blavatsky).

It should be understood that, in spite of the fact that in occultism is often made a distinction between the Creator in passive and active states, yet it is one and the same Creator, the one and the same Universal Creative Substance endowed with Mind.

When this substance is actively manifested, we judge about presence in it the Thought precisely on this indirect factor – by arising Changed State of Matter, which in occultism is called the Spirit and the Soul.

At the same time, we do not know and can’t say anything about the Absolute, which is creatively not active.

But, nevertheless, there is no exist the different Creators (realities), there are only different their conditions. This should be remembered always.

Matter is identified with that Primordial Depth, Original Chaos, with Water and Darkness, from which was born the Light (Soul, Energy).

It’s the Matter without of the manifested in her Spirit (Ideation of the Universe) that forms Souls is all the same “Unconscious” and “Unknown” “Ever Reason” of which we talk when speak about Unmanifested Space.

Birth of this Universe which appears as a result of merging Matter and Spirit is described as “Union of Water and Fire” where the Water is the Origin Basis by itself, i.e. Matter. And the Fire – is Soul, sum of manifestation the Spirit in the Matter.

The Substance in the Unmanifested state – this is the well-known for us the Virgin Matter, the Virgin Mary.

The Matter gave birth to the husband in herself (who is the first son at the same time) – the Spirit (Thought-image of the Universe).

Absolut in Unmanifested state – this is the Matter (but more accurately the Mother-Father).

“The Eternal Parent wrapped in her Ever-Invisible Robes” (Stanza 1) – it’s Mulaprakriti, Root-Matter, if to translate from Sanskrit.

“Parabrahm (the One Reality, the Absolute) is the field of Absolute Consciousness, i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned existence, and of which conscious existence is a conditioned symbol. But once that we pass in thought from this (to us) Absolute Negation, duality supervenes in the contrast of Spirit (or consciousness) and Matter, Subject and Object” (E.P. Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).

“Spirit (or Consciousness) and Matter are, however, to be regarded, not as independent realities, but as the two facets or aspects of the Absolute (Parabrahm), which constitute the basis of conditioned Being whether subjective or objective” (E.P. Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).

The prefix "Para" in Sanskrit means a reference to something that is outside of something beyond this. Brahman, in turn, is a synonym for Ideation, Spirit, Mind, which is a characteristic feature of Substance of Matter. That is, as you can see, in this case, Parabrahm - is in some way a reference to the second aspect of the Creator - on its reasonableness. This means that for One Reality, even in its passive state, has two characteristics - materiality (Matter) and the ability to think (Spirit).

"Alpha and Omega" ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).

“Spirit (or consciousness) and Matter are, however, to be regarded, not as independent realities, but as the two facets or aspects of the Absolute (Parabrahm), which constitute the basis of conditioned Being whether subjective or objective” ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).

“Parabrahm is not "God," because It is not a God. … IT is "Supreme" as CAUSE, not supreme as effect. Parabrahm is simply, as a "Secondless Reality" the all-inclusive Cosmos -- or, rather, the infinite Cosmic Space -- in the highest spiritual sense, of course” ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).

“Mulaprakriti, the “root-Principle”, “the primordial substance, which is the basis of the upadhi or vehicle of every possible phenomenon, whether physical, mental and spiritual. It is the source from which Akasha radiates ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, comment for the Stanza 1.1).

"Ein Sof - (Hebrew), the eternal state of Being, incomprehensible principle, supreme deity, the absolute, which can be opened only through the process of eliminating all its perceived attributes in a specific order. Being undetectable absolute pervades all space. Abstract to the point of incomprehensibility, Ein Sof is the unlimited state of all things. The substances, essence and minds appear from the elusive Ein Sof, but the Absolute is devoid of substantiality, the nature and reasonableness. Kabbalists call it the oldest of the oldest and always viewed asexual. The nature of Ein Sof is symbolized by the round, the true emblem of eternity. Synonyms: Ensof, Ayn Sof "(See: http://www.ezoezo.ru).

Gaia (Earth) – is the ancient Greek goddess, wife of Uranus, who before becoming his wife, has created her future husband. And this is a direct indication to the procreation by the first aspect - by the Matter – of the second - the Spirit, after what they are connected and form all that is in this Universe.
