    25. But Thou art Eternity and Space; Thou art Matter and Motion; and Thou art the negation of all these things.
    26. For there is no Symbol of Thee.

    "I was thinking that the negation of things is also their affirmation."

    Maybe sort of like "If there is a True thing then there also must exist the False thing". Or if there is a positive then there is also a negative. But what originates the negative and the positive? What is the source of this? If there is a source then does the source repeat the above pattern and have its own source?

    Everything I've ever read just basically states that it is incomprehensible and unknowable by logic. Even unknowable period. If I could contemplate the source on its own plane then I don't think I would be here anymore. However, we are all striving toward that? I think in this there is a bit of insanity - but it's fun...

    When the universe is destroyed, some part of you is still aware of yourself in the old universe, on your knees perhaps, seeing the dust motes dancing in the sunlight steaming in the window.

    Imaging the miracle of emanation—this idea that that which is hidden behind the negative veils actively chooses to participate in a limited, finite proposition. It does fill me with a species of awe and love. Which are, never forget, are simply more things in this universe, of this universe.

    Love and Will

    " I wonder at it.

    Often, when I think about the elements, I wonder at their symmetry. The pure equilibrium of brownian motion seen in liquids and gasses. The symmetry inherent in the motion of flames and the form of the earth. Though everywhere the result is seen, equilibrium itself is formless. Where is it in the mind?"

    And don’t forget the big bang... Symmetry is all around us.. Even if it is accidental or created out of chaos, even Chaos seems to have symmetry in the midst of chaos.

    Those are some very good points mojorisin44 and RobertAllen

    How can there be a symbol for something that is, but is not? It is like saying that thou art the symbol of that which is all and that which is not all. Even if the symbol was a blank piece of paper, it would have too little information and yet too much information.
