The Absence vs. The Presence:
(Two Important Rivers Of Creation)
It is important to understand that from Man's limited point of view [limited only because Man, as we know the TwinSpecies:Human to be, only exists within a specific level of Illusion (a level which is, itself, divided into many sublevels) in such a way that Man is divided against itself], Man is not permitted [to know] what, if anything, exists upon the path of creation called The Thread Of The Absence. The basic nature of The Thread Of The Absence exists upon too high a level, with respect to Man's level of creation. It is outside creation as Man knows creation to be.
The Absence is but one of the two threads of Creation that went into the creation of our home plane of consciousness. The other thread of Creation is called The Presence. We, as members of the TwinSpecies:Human, basically reside in The Presence's Earth Experience's Lower Middle Earth's Astral Plane Of Common Reality. Even though we live within a plane of consciousness that is only on Lower Middle Earth, we teeter between Lower Middle Earth and Middle Middle Earth. As more members of the TwinSpecies awakens to greater consciousness, the TwinSpecies as a whole will transmute to the next higher plane of consciousness--Middle Middle Earth. Hopefully, this is the age that the transmutation is destined.
To understand further, we must first recall a subset of The Laws Of The Moment; specifically, a law which governs an individual's span of awareness during any given moment. Basically it states: An individual, regardless of the presence or the absence of his limitations, may become aware of everything which exists upon a lower level of creation, very little of that which exists upon his own level of creation, and, nothing which exists upon any level of creation which is higher than his own.
A difficult concept to understand is the difference between what is called The Thread Of The Absence [which is governed by FabricTime/Space] and what is called The Thread Of The Presence [which is governed my LinearTime/Space]. From the fabric of creation's point of view, The unity of Creation is divided into two parts, or aspect--The Thread of The Absence and The Thread of The Presence. While The Thread of The Absence is only a very small part of The Thread Of Creation, which, itself, exists outside the DoubleGate of Creation, its effects are duplicated within The Thread Of The Presence.
Our studies are, by necessity, limited to understanding that which exists along the thread of creation called The Thread Of The Presence. However, as mentioned before, there is a seeming inconsistency here. The seeming inconsistency presents itself in the form of having the effects of The Thread Of The Absence having the power to govern some of the limitations which exist within the thread of creation we call The Presence. Hence, the absence of something can and will have its effects upon any Life-form which exists within the thread of creation we call The Presence. If this concept is doubted, the reader need only suffer the absence of sustenance for a time. The experience will quickly change his mind, especially if the absence of food and water continues long enough.
In ancient times, it was believed that The Thread Of The Absence was that Thread Of Creation which was home for The Sanguine Sea Of Possibilities; the sea from which Isis draws the energy to create Primordial Force (the cosmic slime from which the physical Universe came).
If that isn't complicated enough for you, well, sit back; there's still more. To really sink your teeth into understanding, we must recall what might be the laws governing the start of the original movement that caused what science calls The Big Bang which is believed, by the scientists of today, to have created the physical Universe as we know it.
Let's begin this new stage of understanding with events that happened long before the beginning. It was believed by the ancient Priests of Lemuria's Temple Of Light that before creation was in existence as we know creation to be, all that existed was a great sea of uncreated futures, within which resided a great dormant force called The GreatForce. This Force was said to be asleep; in that, it, as of yet, knew not consciousness. Then, no one knows why, it awoke! As it awoke, it knew consciousness; and, consciousness began to think.
Upon the face of purity, upon the face of non-darkness, upon the face of all things, even upon the six points of power, my mind shall conceive. With the power of the lights of the illumination of illusion, peace shall walk my heart and seven rivers shall flow from my mind; and, issued forth from each river shall come all things high and low, each unto its own level, after its own kind.
Then, no one on this level really knows how or why, some of the beings [if the word being can be used in this sense] that resided within consciousness began thinking instead of just being. In that selfsame moment, Arkashea was born; and, with this moment began The Arkashic Records of Creation, itself. Again, in that selfsame moment, from within the sanguine sea of possibilities which surrounded non-consciousness, there came a stirring as if in response to the thoughts coming from the thinking beings which resided within consciousness. As the thinking beings continued to think, the stirrings grew in magnitude and in intensity. The 1st River, the River of Thoughts, came into being.
As the recursiveness of The Affinity Factor [spoken of later] again fulfilled itself, that which was Dual in its nature became Triune in its effects. Finally, the first of the great laws of creation [The creation of the one is, in itself, the implication of the creation of the other], the first manifestation of Creation [That which would become seed pattern for all of creation], the first level of Power [seed for The GreatForce] was fulfilled. And, so, the end of the beginning had also fulfilled itself.
With the first of the great laws of creation fulfilled, the law of Repeating Patterns, the third law of Recursive Dialusion called The Affinity Factor into being. Like the endless spiraling coils of a huge snake, Recursive Dialusion demanded that the process begin again upon a lower level. Thus, came The Second River, the River of Law, the second level of Power, and the second manifestation of Creation came into being.
However, there is a slight complication here. It comes in the form of the serial process as opposed to the fabric-like process. The difference between the two is as follows: the serial process is when step one comes before step two; and, step two comes after step one, but before step three, etc. The important fact is that there is a time concept element involved. The time element comes during the creation of each step.
During the creation of step one, the powers of the time element is in the present (the now); and, there is no past, only a future. This fulfills a part of the laws of creation--it allows for Duality. Remember the law? It's worth repeating, because it, and it alone, becomes the cause of the first cause of creation, itself. The creation of the one is, in and of itself, the implication of the creation of the other.
However, creation is not fulfilled. We might have Duality, but we do not have Triunity--a necessity if the second cause of creation is to be fulfilled. Again, just in case we have forgotten it, let's repeat the second law of creation. It states: That which exists within the Chi shall exist Dual in its nature, but Triune in its effects.
During the creation of step two, the powers which govern the time element is also in the present; but, we now have a past and a future. This is true because the forces of creation had to move the powers which govern the time element from the known state called the present in order to fulfill the remaining part of the laws governing creation. Thus, three creations came into being at the selfsame moment--The Continuum Of Change, the Time/Space Continuum [at this moment, the Time/Space Continuum is unbounded [it is without limits], and the new creation within the seed pattern of time element called the future--the first of three limits to be applied.
To achieve Triunity, the powers of the time element did two things--first, it created the new state of being called the future. Second, it then moved from the time-state called the present into the new time state called the future. Now, the law was fulfilled--Triunity was in existence. We had a past (which was the beginning of our recognition of all things), we had a present (which was the time necessary for the time element to change the future into the past, so Man could conceive of it), and, we had a future (which was the divine energy from which we drew our substances for the creation of all our illusions). Thus, the LinearTime/Space Continuum came into being.
Fabric-like processes is much easier to understand, because there is very little happening. In Fabric-like processes, everything is happening all at once; in that, there is no past, no present, nor is there a future. It simply is!
Side Bar: The Affinity Factor
The Affinity Factor is that force which pairs a cause to its effect. Furthermore, The Affinity Factor is that force which gives Karma its consistency; in that, The Affinity Factor guarantees that all karmic debts are equalized in their proper time, using the best that is available at that moment in time.
Here, it is important to note that the laws which govern The Affinity Factor are very specific in their patterns. Needless to say, while the laws of Karma seek to have the same persons that were involved during the creation of the original misdeed also be involved during the equalization of that karmic debt... that misdeed as its first choice, if the specific person(s) is not available when a specific karmic debt is about to be worked on, then The Affinity Factor will search all the patterns of all beings for a "best match."
Anybody who closely matches the A Happenings of a karmic misdeed can, and usually is, drafted to play a role in another's equalization of a karmic debt.
As an example, If circumstances are such that person "A" chooses to/ is forced to work upon a specific Karmic misdeed, but person "B", who was the original partner in the creation of the misdeed, is not available because he is presently caught in a loop of some kind, then The Affinity Factor will choose anyone who closely matches the original circumstances to fulfill the need.
Anyone who has the same karmic debt can equalize the debt while helping someone else, by being a pawn in their "games."
It must be remembered that being available to be a pawn in another's games was one of the prerequisite conditions set by The Alliance of The Rule when we, the dreamer, first decided to enter Lower Middle Earth's Astral Plane of Common Reality. As we dream our illusions, each play one or more parts in other people's games; and, so, too, do each who descend get to play a part in the dreamer's games.
The Affinity Factor plays many roles during our lives. Usually, when The Affinity Factor gets involved in our lives, we are either about to play a part in another's games, or we are about to relive an experience from our past deeds. In either case, we either fit the basic pattern required by another's game, or circumstance has decreed that we Walk The Walk of Predestiny for awhile.
There are many examples wherein The Affinity Factor has had its way in our lives... one such example might be the following:
Imagine sitting at home, alone, watching a favorite program on television. During a commercial you see an add showing a man in a wheelchair drinking a cold beer. Suddenly, you have a craving for a cold beer that will not leave you alone. You seek to continue watching your show, but you cannot forget your dislike for the man in the wheelchair... still, the craving will not leave you alone.
The craving is such that it forces you to go to the corner store for a six-pack. As you enter the store, you discover that a robbery is in the process. Without meaning to, you startled one of the robbers. He turns and shoots... you find yourself in a hospital room without memory of having traveled there.
After a few hours of looking at the ceiling, a nurse comes in to give you a shot, and to see if you have awakened. She mumbles something that no one could possibly hear and quickly scoots out of the room.
A short time later (what seems like years) a much too young doctor enters the room and reads your chart without so much as a hello. You wait silently, hoping to get a little information. He puts down the chart and smiles... trouble is on its way.
He pulls the sheet down and scrapes one of your feet... you feel nothing. He asks that you move the foot... your heart starts pounding. You cannot move.
He smiles and tells you not too worry, that being unable to move is common during the first few days after surgery, that movement should return in a few days.
The Affinity Factor has decreed that your life should change... that you should lose the habit of walking anywhere at any time. You discover that it is now time to see the world from a wheel chair... to feel the displeasure of others looking at you as you looked at others who lived their lives in a wheel chair. Life has come full circle!
