Original Logos

[anagogy]

Based on Ra's ontological breakdown of the very beginning of creation, does he imply that there was an Original Logos before the Universal Logos? A Logos that created the multiverse? Would this truly be the First Cause? The Original Thought?

I'm aware the creation is unified and it makes no true difference, but it is quite profound to climb a transcendent ladder to infinity! Was just wondering if Ra implies a primordial multiverse generator. And if so, would it be the only one? Or an infinite number of them in parallel infinities?

To reference back to your other thread, this is precisely why creation is a plenum. It wasn't a nothing, nothing, nothing, BOOM, suddenly by some inexplicable mysterious process, SOMETHING type process. There was no beginning, and because of that there is no end. There was no nothingness followed by a somethingness. There has always just been the somethingness, which occasionally forgets a portion of its infinite beingness through the use of limited perceptual mechanisms that filter out portions of reality that are not consonant with the intended or desired reality.

Everything has always existed, and we occasionally choose to forget part of it for the sake of experiencing the illusion of finity. And when we are done with that game, the creation is exactly the same afterwards as it was before we played the game, because you can't add or subtract from infinity. Even time is a finite construct -- that is to say, a form or limitation focused into beingness by a temporary and deliberate forgetting of infinity.

That was the concept that infinity discerned within itself. Nothing was added to the creation by it, because infinity is already infinite. So, there is no original Logos from my perspective. There is just The One Logos, that had no beginning. It only has a beginning in the sense that it occasionally goes into a state of awareness devoid of any awareness of separation, and in the absence of any perceptual separation, there is no self awareness, there is just awareness. Self awareness requires a slight amount of duality in order to manifest as an apparent reality (all form, even extremely subtle forms, require contrast to set them apart from flawless and undistorted intelligent unity).

All selves are like reflections in a mirror that is facing another mirror -- the self merely reflects and reflects and reflects and reflects outwards into infinity. Each reflection more and more distorted than the last until it reaches the twilight of not being able to distort or reflect any further (red ray). The mirror displays a reflection of that which gazes into the mirror, but the image is inverted. And each subsequent refraction is slightly more distorted than the last. So an array of 'selves' show up in the stream of time. It is a bit of an illusion, but this is how the light being refracted appears metaphysically.

The One Original Thought is the plenum itself. The 'refinements' on the one original thought are the finite excursions. It is like a block of wood. The block contains the potential of all the things you could carve out of the wood. The refinements on the block of wood equal all the parts you shave off in order to create a specific shape (like a duck, or a boat, or a sphere for example).
