The Principles of Emanation

The Principles of Emanation: "Emanation In Relation To The Absolute

Before defining the laws of emanation, a basic proviso needs to be stated. And that is that emanation does not pertain to the Absolute Reality. Although even within the Absolute Itself there would seem to be stages of manifestation, progressive stages of self-focusing of the Absolute Consciousness, these stages or poises of the Supreme do not actually constitute distinct and seperate 'planes'. Rather, all of the stages of manifestation of the Supreme are complementary or non-contridictory with each other. Nor can there actually be a coming into (or a passing out of) being, because all aspects of the Absolute are eternal in any case, and at the level of the Absolute there is nothing else but the Absolute, so there is nothing for the Emanator to emanate into. Emanation can only occur within the realm of duality itself."
