Simultaneity, regarding the OIC's origins

[Aion]

I also had some further thoughts. What you refer to as 'real' and 'illusory' I would actual relate to the concept of purity as Ra tends to use it.

They use it many times to refer to genuineness, but I believe that this is related to what is Absolute in that anything can be Absolute. The Absolute is everything, thus everything is Absolute but this is where the degrees to which anything is absolute come in. The less absolute something is, the more it is mixed, thus divided. When something is absolute, it is One. Thus when it is not absolute, it is two, three or more divisions, these are distortions. I believe this is the nature of the Archetypes.

Thus, what is real or illusory is actually a matter entirely of apprehension. It's not whether something is Absolute or not, it is whether or not you are actually perceiving it for what it is. Real or illusory is a problem of perception and reason, not of reality, imo.

This is why I believe that the power of any one thought is not determined by how real it is, but rather by how clear one's focus is. The mind is a space in which logos or love can focus, do its thing. That is what it is there for. Therefore, I think that when one becomes one pointed in their focus upon any thought, say even upon a napkin, you can touch the Absolute.

Now, this is why I say the idea relates to purity because I do believe that there are thoughts or things upon which logos can focus that create more efficient or less extensive pathways from and to the One. For example, it may be much easier to consider the One through focus upon a deity rather than say, a piece of lego. Referring to the exercise above, I would perhaps use it as a measure of the abstraction one requires to 'see the Creator'.

However, in terms of real and illusory, I would instead say that to not first recognizing the deity as a deity, or the lego as lego would be to be deluded by illusion. This suggests that everything has its individual existence, down to the very atom. Nothing is merely some 'illusory' creation of something else, not even the One. Delusion and confusion are the traits of a self-aware mind attempting to apprehend itself as the One, not contents of the universe itself, I would say.
