The Transcendent (Unmanifest)

uUltimate Reality

The Void

 

The Zero, nothingness
Before anything became, the Void was.

 

 

Divinity

First Light

Divinity

Creation


And then something that is not void... a shift, a tremor, the hint of a sound, the germination of possibility...
a spark in the void: First Light.
And, suddenly, darkness convulses into light. Consciousness explodes into the Void, and creation begins.

 

The Seraphim (Angelic Realms)

 

The Grace

Eros (Lumiel)

Ecstasy (Israfel)

Divine Inspiration (Raziel)

Love (Aniel)

Abundance (Uriel)


Compassion (Raphael)

Warrior of the Light (Mikhael)

Flight (Gabriel)

Worlds (Metatron)


As the Divine Consciousness reaches out in that cataclysmic explosion of energy we call the Big Bang, It creates different aspects of Itself: the Shining Ones - Yin and Yang (feminine and masculine principles); ecstasy; inspiration, abundance; compassion and love; majesty, aspiration, and connection. 

Fundamental Laws 

Chaos and Order

Growth and Decay

Spacetime

Light and Cark

Alpha and Omega

Next to form are the fundamental laws that underpin all reality, and which human minds see as polarities. However, each continuum is a whole, each part is essential for the other, part of the divine hologram.


Transcendent Qualities

Essence

Emergence

Metamorphosis

Courage

Guardian

Initiator

Phoenix

Kali Dance

The emanations of Divinity continue to move outward energetically, forming Qualities, some tentative, some stronger. We might see them as essence, emergence, metamorphosis, courage, guardianship and initiation. Electrical energies and emotions surge through the grid; elementals hover on invisible wings.

Consciousness now looks for a different challenge, and begins to slow down the rate of vibration (sound, light). This creates heavier, more ambivalent patterns...

 

Ambivalent Qualities

 

Elemental

Titan

Dark Night

Storm Crow

The Shadow

 

The dead walk into the Valley of Shadow; swallowed up by the eddying smoke. This is the dark night of the Soul. Finally we have the Devas of the Shadow - denial and resistance, deceit, malevolence.

The Immanent (Manifest)

The Universe

The Cosmos



Once the rate of vibration has reached the level of physical manifestation, the Divine Consciousness gathers itself... reaches through from the Other ... and creates the cosmos: Its energy made manifest.

Nebulae

Stars

The Sun

 

From that swirling burst of gaseous energy form the stars, the nebulae and, in an obscure part of one of the magnificent spiral nebulas, our Sun flames into being.

 

The Planets

 

Mercury

Venus

Earth

Moon

Mars

Jupiter

Sataurn

Uranus

Neptune

Pluto

 

The Sun's acolytes, the planets that form around this small star, take shape. Mercury, Venus, Earth (Gaia) and her moon; Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

 

The Elements

Fire

Air

Water

Earth

Spirit

 

The Seasons


Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

 

The Kingdoms of Life on Earth:

Deva of Minerals

Deva of Plant life

Deva of Animal life

Deva of Humanity

Mineral, plant, animal ... and human.

 

Earth environments


Mountain

Valley

World Tree

Ocean

Desert

Harvest

Lightning

Cave



The earth's environments – mountain, valley, tree, ocean, grassland and desert; lightning (as an acknowledgement of weather), and finally the cave, which leads us down into the Microcosm.

 

Devas of the Threshold

 

Seed

Cells

Atom

Quantum

Seed Void



The seed is the gateway to the Devas of the Invisible. We can still see cells through our extended eyes, but not even the most powerful electron microscopecan can enter the atomic realm. We posit its existence only - as well as the electrons and neutrons thgat swirl around the minute nucleus. Still smaller, too small for our minds to comprehend and thus even more mysterious, we next come to the quantum level, with its paradoxical laws, its uncertainties, and constant 'zero point' energy field.

Beyond the quantum field, we encounter the most mysterious field of all, the missing mass of the cosmos - what scientists at present call 'dark energy', within which - if we allow ourselves to be there in full surrender - we might sense the heartbeat of the universe.
