" Unknown God' " by Betty Stockbauer

 

Esoteric tradition devoted much thought to cosmological ideas and

presents a view that is vast in its complexity. Of importance in

this approach is the distinction made between the highest God and the

Gods of manifesration. The highest or Unknown God can never be

described because our finite minds are wholly unable to comprehend

its nature. It can only in terms of what it is not. It sets in

motion the process of manifestation and remains as the underling

energy, but at no point does it take an active role in the creation

of the physical order. All we can know of the Unknown God is

that " it shows its face from time to time. "

We assume that the Unknown God is the essence of perfection. But

the material creation, through a reflection of the Unknown God, can

never be called perfect. Therefore we have an uncreated sphere of

unity and perfection and a created sphere of unity and perfection and

a created sphere of physical manifestation. When the process of

manifestation begins, from this Unknown God issues the seed matter of

future creation. It implants a spark of life to awaken the seed

matter and thus begins the evolution of solar systems and worlds.

Symbolically, from the first union of spirit/male and matter/female,

the son is born. This is the first primordial trinity.

Creation then proceeds in stages. Forces or entities, called

emanations, shape and occupy the vast and varied layers of creation.

These layers are called planes and they are arranged in steps like a

ladder, proceeding from the highest and most spiritual, downward, to

the densest and most material. Each higher plane gives birth to the

one below it. Each higher plane holds an image of the ideal plan of

perfection as a goal for the lower to strive towards. The further

from the original Godhead, the less perfect and pure is creation.

Similarly, as the Unknown God is an essential unity, so the

densest matter of manifestation exhibits characteristics of extreme

differention and seperation. This movement proceeding from the

essential unity of the original Unknown God to the vast seperation of

our manifested universe called the involutionary arc. At the end of

the involutionary process, when matter is the most dense, the process

reverses and what was a vast differention moves back again to the

original unity which gave it life. This is called the evolutionary

arc.

It is this constant interplay between spitit and matter, unity and

seperation, involution and evolution, which produces a middle region,

that of consciousness, a totally new quality which comes of the

interaction between opposite poles. Essentially it is an electrical

phenomenon, an interplay between positive and negative polarities

which creats (much like a light bulb on the physical plane) the

quality of light or consciousness. This is the dynamic whic propels

evolution.

Yours Truly, Victor Nighthawk
