Introduction to Extract by V.M Samael Aun Weor
This extract written by V.M Samael Aun Weor is very good for
us to get an idea and feeling of what the Absolute is.
When one reads these paragraphs one comes to the conclusion that
the Absolute is something indescribably profound, more profound than our greatest
capacity of comprehension, yet we are all of it and that gives hope that one
day we can know of its great mystery.
Extract
“The Absolute is the Being of all Beings. The Absolute is
that which is, has always been, and always will be. It expresses as abstract
absolute movement and repose. It is the cause of Spirit and of matter, but is
neither one nor the other. The Absolute is beyond the mind; and the mind cannot
understand it because what we must do is intuit its nature.
The Absolute is beyond conditioned life. Beyond that which
is relative is the Real Being, (He). He is Non-Being because He does not retain
any relationship whatsoever with our concepts, but is however, “The Real
Being”. Because we do not understand this intellectually, for us all of this is
as Non-Being, although it is the Real Being of Being.
To be is better than to exist, and the reason for Being of
the Being is the Being itself. Our legitimate existence is in the Absolute,
which is a Non- Being; to the human reason a non-existence.
The Absolute is not a God, and is neither a Divine nor human
individual; it would be absurd to give form to that which does not have form;
it would be nonsensical to attempt to anthropomorphise space.
The Absolute is certainly unconditioned and eternal abstract
space, far beyond Gods and men. The Absolute is uncreated Light which casts no
shadow anywhere during the profound night of the Great Pralaya.
The Absolute is beyond time, number and measure; beyond
weight, chance, beyond form, fire, light and darkness. Nonetheless, it is fire
and uncreated light.”
Conclusion
This extract by Master Samael at least answers for us what
the Absolute is not, and invites us to change our concepts about the Absolute
and about what God is.
