What Is Within The Absolute? - (462)

Introduction

What is within the Absolute is a very logical question to ask and surprisingly there is an answer. We are told by very ancient traditions, namely those of the Hebraic Kabbalah and the early Christianity that within the Absolute there are certain subdivisions. Here, Master Samael tells us that the Absolute has three subdivisions.

“In itself, the Absolute has three aspects; Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur. To speak about Ain is difficult because it is the Unmanifested Absolute. Form does not exist in the Absolute, nor figure, nor number, nor weight. When the universe dissolves, only the memory remains in the consciousness of the Gods; and with those memories the universe of Pleroma is formed. If one wanted to take something from there it would not exist, because there are only memories.”


The Three Circles of The Absolute

The Absolute has three aspects: Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur. The following excerpts from Master Samael describe each of these three aspects.

AIN

“Ain, which is the same as Sat in Sanskrit; that is, the Unmanifested Absolute.”

Excerpt from the book: “Tarot and Kabbalah”, Chapter 49 by V.M Samael Aun Weor.

AIN SOPH

“Ain Soph, the second aspect. This is where a certain manifestation already exists. Here remain all creatures when the Great Pralaya (Cosmic Night) arrives, because they do not have the right to penetrate Ain, or Unmanifested Absolute which is beyond thought, the Verb, the atom, sound, beyond all that has form, number, weight, etc.”

Excerpt from the book: “Tarot and Kabbalah”, Chapter 49 by V.M Samael Aun Weor.

AIN SOPH AUR

“Ain Soph Aur, the third aspect in accordance with the Hebraic Kabalah, to be found here is the First Cosmos, the purely spiritual Protocosmos, the Solar Absolute formed by multiple Spiritual Suns.”
Excerpt from the book: “Tarot and Kabbalah”, Chapter 49 by V.M Samael Aun Weor.


Summary

The Absolute is not as we would imagine it to be, that is one continuous stretch of infinitely vast and enlightening space, but rather it has three aspects or three depths to it, each with their different degrees of profundity.

This then means that there are degrees and degrees of penetration into the Absolute, which also means that there are degrees and degrees of learning and evolution within the Absolute. Which is something that really shocks us, we may think that once a being enters the Absolute, his or her learning ceases. It seems though that this is not the case.

Subsequent articles will expound more upon the qualities of each of the three aspects of the Absolute.
