I have had some recurrent images come to me: many of a fractal nature, zooming in and zooming out, infinite nesting. This series of images challenged some of my understandings, so I wanted to throw it out to the group for comment.
Without attempting to describe the visuals, suffice it to say it was a fractal and I zoom in/out and focus on various scales. I see the one/infinite creator/creation (1ICC, or collectively Us) as a microcosm, or a sub-sub-Logos, within a greater, super-being. Up until that point, I had conceived of the 1ICC as the supreme macrocosm, or upper limit. But why would there be an arbitrary stopping point amidst one/infinite-ness? Infinite nesting?
Like us (soul streams), our 1ICC state of being-ness (1ICC totality?) could be going through a similar process. The 1ICC totality being could be refining its beingness so that its experiences feed into the super-1ICC being, or "serve" the super-1ICC, much as we "serve" to form, shape and color the 1ICC.
When focusing on one scale of being within the fractal, I also got images similar to yin/yang, which invited me to play with the seeming divisions: unity/separation; that which IS/that which IS NOT; STS/STO; etc. The line between the two halves of the yin and yang dissolves, and ebb/flow between the two.
In a state of undifferentiated infinity/unity (for convenience, the 1/I Creator), the infinite intelligence chose to know itself, and manifest and differentiate itself. The Creator moves toward separation (manifest, differentiated separateness): for convenience, the 1/I Creation. The Creation moves toward a state of unity: Creator-ness.
I look around, and see Us in a state of differentiation (creation state); here, I experience immense love for each and every differentiated facet (of a larger being, like a diamond). I can also see Us in a state of pure, undifferentiated unity (creator state). Here I also have immense love for the totality.
Whatever scale I focus on, I feel connection.
