Is the Absolute just Infinite Space - (470)

Introduction

When trying to understand what the Absolute is, we often think of it as being related to space, however this is not completely true. We tend to think that the Absolute is the sum of all the deep black space that all the planets, stars, suns and moons are suspended in. However, the Absolute Master Samael says is not that deep dark space that we see up in the sky at night but rather an abstract form of space. The following excerpt from Master Samael expounds upon this.

Excerpt

“The Abstract Absolute Space is the causa causorum of everything that is, has been, and shall be. The profound and joyful space is certainly the incomprehensible “Seity,” which is the ineffable, mystical root of the seven cosmos. It is the mysterious origin of all that we know as Spirit, matter, universes, suns, worlds, etc.

“That,” which is divine, the space of happiness, is the tremendous reality beyond the universe and Gods. “That” has no dimension, yet indeed, it is what its, what always has been, and what always will be. It is the life that intensely palpitates within each atom and within each sun.

Let us now refer to the great ocean of the Spirit: how can we define it?

Certainly, He is Brahma, who is the first differentiation or modification of “That.” The Gods and humans tremble when before “That.”

Is “That” Spirit? Indeed I tell you that it is not. Is “That” matter? Truly, I tell you that it is not.

“That” is the root of the Spirit and of matter, yet it is neither Spirit nor matter.

“That” transcends the laws of number, measurement, and weight, it transcends surface area, quantity, quality, front, behind, above, below, etc.

“That” has reality beyond thought, word, and action. “That” is not of time and it is beyond silence and sound, even beyond the ears to perceive it. “That” is the immutable within a profound, divine abstraction. It is light that has never been created by any God, nor by any human. “That” is what has no name.

Brahma is Spirit; yet “That” is not Spirit. The Absolute, the Unmanifested One, is uncreated light.

Where was the raw matter of the Great Work? It is evident that it was reposing before the down of creation within the profound bosom of the Abstract Absolute Space. Indeed, the primordial mater becomes like the soul of the Unique One, the living noumenon of any substance. It is an undifferentiated Cosmic Matter. Ancient wisdom states that when the Great Night (which is what the Hindus call Pralaya or dissolution of the universe) arrives, then Brahma, the Father, the Ocean of the Universal Sprit of Life, submerges Himself within the Absolute Abstract Space for seven eternities.

The seven eternities signify “Æva” or totally defined, clear, and precise periods of time.”

Excerpt from the book: “Tarot and Kabbalah”, Chapter 50 by V.M Samael Aun Weor.

Conclusion

So then the Absolute is not space as we know, certainly not three dimensional space or that vast blackness that we see when we look into the night sky. Nor is it four, five, six or seven dimensional space. It is abstract space. A kind of space that does not exist in creation yet exists in some other way. And that other way is not known to us, it is not in our, mind nor in the mind of the Gods or angels but in another way. Sorry to have to leave you with an open ended conclusion, though we can conclude here that the Absolute is not space as we know it or understand it to be, and the reason why that is, is because the space that we know and conceive belongs to creation.
