The Birth of Venus by Botticelli
Maya
The term "Maya" is an ancient Vedic term, the definition of which states that physical reality is an illusion. The doctrine of Maya teaches that this illusion imprisons us because we believe that physical matter is real and that we ourselves are only physical matter. The remedy is said to be enlightenment, or the strategic realization that the physical world, one's own body, and one's ego are all illusions. By standing apart from them in a meditative disposition in which one identifies with the transcendent Self -- which Self is said to exist prior to illusion -- enlightenment is said to be possible. The goal of enlightenment is to become free from the wheel of birth and death. This is done by the power of realizing the non-necessity of the physical world, the body, and the ego. It is said that when one realizes their true identity as God, all of their cravings and needs for the physical pleasures and appetites of the body will cease and they will enter into their native and prior condition of Nirvana or whatever other words are used to describe the enlightened condition.
DX thinking challenges the conventional notion of Maya. We begin with the simple observation that Nature has devoted enormous resources and sophistication to Earth, its ecosystem, its creatures, and humans with their marvelous brain. Why all of this great effort on the part of Nature if it is all an ultimately purposeless illusion? Nature is economical and is not wasteful. The Earth and the human life exist for a reason and that reason is not to escape human life. One of Nature's primary functions is to create bodies of all types from stars, to people, to atoms. What we will explore in this chapter is the process of Embodiment, which process is central to understanding the Disunification. The primary type of body we are interested in examining is the body in which LELA's DX Dreams are located. Essentially, we are asking where DX Dreams are located and how they become embodied in the first place.
Mystery Land: The Location of LELA's Dreams
In a previous chapter we described LELA, or Infinity, in this manner:
"Infinity is the flux of an inexhaustible imagination from which all sub-infinite forms, processes, and beings arise. Heaven is afire with LELA's inexhaustible imagination and from her imagination radiate endless possibilities, beings, worlds, and universes. You and I are among the countless beings imagined by LELA. You did exist in the mind of God before you were formed and even before our Universe was formed... Infinity it is the tension and creative agony of an inexhaustible imagination."
Imagine the paradox of God: Ablaze with creative agony and a desire to realize the visions of innumerable universes, forms, process, beings, and yet this One cannot create them lest Unity be annihilated. To be God and not be able to create is to go mad from the never-ending sameness of Unity. An unremitting experience of Unity is maddening to the Awakened One, for such a state gives no respite or relief, it being unremitting Light without shadow or variance of turning. Divine Unity, in its Omniscient aspect, always already knows everything and is therefore utterly predictable.
Infinity is a place where there is nothing to do but to be and to be indefinitely, so why not forget it all? There is no point in remaining unchanged and unified infinitely, and so the Dreamer's surrender to Dream opens up the possibility for escape from Omniscience and Unity. This surrender to dream is the prelude to the DX, which event will and allow for the emergence of a sub-Infinite Universe whose inhabitants will, paradoxically, long for a vaguely remembered paradise of Unity. That there is neither satisfaction in Unity nor Disunity, that each always longs for the other, reveals the keen double edge of Desire, that most fundamental force which animates the Consciousness of the One and the many.
When we speak of God dreaming we must ask the question, "Where do God's dreams originate and take place?" Within the philosophy of the DX, the place from which God's Dreams originate and occur is aptly named Mystery Land. This is a paradox, for God is Omniscient, and yet Mystery itself must also exist within Infinity because Infinity contains all things, including mystery, paradoxes and contradictions.
Mystery is the antithesis of Omniscience. Infinity is simply whatever it is altogether, and this includes the paradox of Omniscience and Mystery co-existing in Infinite Unity. This syllogism frames the OMP:
Mystery is that which cannot be fully known.
Mystery is part of Infinity, or God.
Therefore, God cannot fully know what God is.
One of the great Secrets of the Ages is that God can never fully know the Divine Nature. Theologians suppress this logical conclusion by insisting that God is Omniscient. While God is Omniscient, or All-Knowing, that all-knowingness must paradoxically include Mystery. The Omniscience-Mystery Paradox is a key doctrine within DX teaching. The doctrine exists to serve rational minds who require a theological premise because they cannot accept an Infinite paradox. If you understand the paradox then you don't need the doctrine.
One way for God to explore and unravel Mystery is through the revelations obtained within the sub-Infinite universes, which universes we can also call DXverses. The word "DXverse" is a play on the word "diverse" for diversity is the very essence of DXverses. Diversity is the antithesis of absolutism and hence diversity, rather than absolutism, is a superior way to approach Mystery. Absolutism is narrow and so prevents us from understanding the Mystery of God, whereas the acceptance of diversity forces us to confront Mystery in very broad terms. Diversity is a confrontation with Mystery and that is why absolutists and fundamentalists of all stripes hate diversity. However, as we will see, diversity is inherent in the DX. Unlike Infinity -- which is absolute -- DXverses are based upon probabilities and so their outcomes can only be known as they progress. DXverses are thus a series of progressive and diverse revelations to God concerning the Mystery of God. Living in a DXverse, we are a part of this progressive revelation.
LELA TAO must confront and explore the Mystery of what it is to be the Uncreate God in Infinity who exists as the Unified Totality of Everything. This is where DX teaching diverges from conventional ideations about God, for in DX thinking God's Omniscience is redefined. God is not simply "All-Knowing" to the exclusion of Mystery as is the case in the monotheistic religions of the world. The conventional monotheistic view of God assumes that God experiences no mystery, or mysteries, relative to himself. This view presumes that God has always been perfect and complete. LELA TAO, however, is understood as being Infinite, and as such, she contains within her vastness innumerable paradoxes, contradictions, opposites, and incompletions, all of which are somehow Unified in a Tension called God. In order to explore this vastness free from the Tension of Divinity, LELA TAO must take Infinity apart, she must disunify it so that she can look at herself not as God, but rather from the point of view of a sub-Infinite, non-God being. Yet God cannot do this in a state of Unity and so sacrifice is necessary. Said another way to those who can hear it:
Mystery is as much a part of the Law as is Sacrifice.
LELA's DX Dreams of our Universe would therefore take place in Mystery Land because this sanctuary is a transitional region which allows for great changes to occur in its protective shadow. Mystery Land is both the place and the condition in which LELA LTD could disunify Infinity in order to explore the mysteries while LELA TAO remained behind to anchor and maintain the Unity of Infinity.
For our purposes, we will localize the Omniscience-Mystery Paradox (OMP) in a place within Infinity called Mystery Land. The Moon is the Symbol of Mystery Land within the symbolism of the DX:
How Do God's Dreams Exist Apart from Infinity?
The bedeviling question, "How do God's Dreams exist apart from Infinity?" must be answered if we are to understand the DX. Indeed, to ask this question is to ask, "How do sub-Infinite universes and the sentient beings who dwell therein exist apart from Infinity?' To answer these questions we turn to physics. The physicist Max Planck (1858 -- 1947) originated quantum theory. The Big View is a very good scientific website which gives us this brief definition of quantum theory:
Around 1900, Max Planck from the University of Kiel concerned himself with observations of the radiation of heated materials. He attempted to draw conclusions from the radiation to the radiating atom. On basis of empirical data, he developed a new formula which later showed remarkable agreement with accurate measurements of the spectrum of heat radiation. The result of this formula was so that energy is always emitted or absorbed in discrete units, which he called quanta. Planck developed his quantum theory further and derived a universal constant, which came to be known as Planck's constant. The resulting law states that the energy of each quantum is equal to the frequency of the radiation multiplied by the universal constant: E=f*h, where h is 6.26 * 10E-34 Js. The discovery of quanta revolutionized physics, because it contradicted conventional ideas about the nature of radiation and energy. (http://www.thebigview.com/spacetime/quantumtheory.html)
Mirriam-Webster online defines the word "quantum" as follows:
Main
Entry:
Pronunciation: 'kwän-tum
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural quan·ta /'kwän-tah
Etymology: Latin, neuter of quantus how much
Date: 1567
1 a : QUANTITY,
AMOUNT
b : PORTION,
PART
c : gross quantity
: BULK
2 a : any of the very small increments or parcels into which many
forms of energy are subdivided b : any of the small subdivisions
of a quantized
physical magnitude (as magnetic moment)
What is crucial to understand is the concept of quanta. Planck revolutionized physics when he discovered that energy moved in separate packets of energy that he called quanta. One example of quanta can be observed when looking at a television set that is turned on. The light coming from the set is being emitted in little packets of energy called photons. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second and so we cannot see photons with our naked eye. We can observe photons with a photon detector and so we can prove they exist and also determine their energy level, or wavelength. If, for example, we detected a photon with a wavelength of 550 nanometers, we would know that it was a perfectly green photon.
What I teach by analogy to Planck is that Disunification is a process whereby some part of Infinity, or God, is quantized, or disunified, into discrete packets. Understanding God in a manner analogous to energy allows us to conceptualize a new way to think about not only about God, but about how our Universe began.
Even if some part of God is quantized, that part of God would still exist in Infinity and so we need to understand how LELA ultimately derives a non-Infinite from Infinity. The answer to this problem is Disunification, and DX involves two steps. The first is called Maya-Embodiemt, or "ME". The second step is Disunification itself. ME is a very complex process which we will examine in the balance of this chapter and later chapters. The essence of ME is that some part of Infinity must first quantized before it can be disunified and thus rendered finite. The idea of quantizing some pre-defined sector of Infinity speaks to nebulous shadows and boundaries. We turn to T. S. Eliot, who, in his poem The Hollow Men, saw the shadows and boundaries:
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
Between Infinity and our Universe falls the shadow, and that shadow is Mystery Land. LELA TAO circumvents the CP by first passing a quantized portion of herself into the protective shadow of Mystery Land where she is transformed in LELA LTD. The secret of Mystery Land, or the OMP, is that possesses the power to put LELA TAO to sleep, transform her into LELA LTD, and cause her to DX Dream. Mystery Land is the subconscious, dreaming aspect of God.
The notion of God having a subconscious is considered blasphemous by monotheists who give their God the attribute of omniscience but deny him any mystery or subconscious whatsoever. Absurdly, these monotheists protest that I am attributing to God human characteristics. They never realize -- and this perhaps because they are still pre-scientific people -- that just as humanity's electronics and computers mirror and expand our abilities, so too can sub-Infinite beings mirror and expand God's abilities. I say "expand" because we are not limited by the Paradox of Infinity which prohibits creation. In the same way, our computers are not limited by the speed and slowness of our neurons, and so they can blaze away at teraflop speed. Just by making a kite with your child you have shown that you can do more than TAO with respect to creation. This does not anger TAO, but rather delights that One in the same way we are delighted when our computers dazzle us when we see a great special-effects movie or witness as a loved one is saved by an electronic medical device.
However, LELA TAO must counter DX Dreams, for the DX Dreams are a work contrary to Infinity (opus contra Infinitio). DX Dreams are contrary to Infinity because they seek expression as sub-Infinite DXverses. TAO therefore contains and controls that which seeks to oppose the Infinite Unity by resort to embodiment. Accordingly, LELA TAO embodies LELA LTD and her DX Dream.
TAO embodies both the Dream, and then the Dreamer in the very instant they arise as potentially separate entities that would pose a threat to Unity. This is somewhat like your noticing a potentially troubling idea occur inside your head and then mentally embodying it as an alien thought, mentally distancing it from you, and then disowning it: "Where did that thought come from?" In some sense, you have thrown the idea out of your head. Technically, though, it cannot leave your head. So what has happened is that you have functionally isolated it by deeming it a non-I, or that which is not rightfully a part of what is truly you. The basic principle of embodiment, of an "I" is that it must always reject that which is not-I. This rejection of non-I happens in organ transplants and requires that the recipient be given anti-rejection drugs so that the "I" that is their genetic body will be caused to accept the donor "non-I" organ. Only that which is perceived as being "I" has immunity from attack. We reject troubling thoughts and feelings so that our core personality can remain in a stable state. Troubling thoughts have the potential to cause significant emotional upset, which upset could cause a form of inner disunity leading to neurosis or even insanity. This is why our psychological defense system protectively casts such thoughts from us. In some cases, we must take back that which has been rejected if we are to be made whole, but that is a discussion better left to the Jungians. What we must take notice of now is that LELA TAO rejects that which is non-TAO by embodying so that it exists apart from Infinity.
Maya-Embodiment "ME"
The process of embodiment, of quantizing some part of Infinity that is considered to be non-God, is called Maya-Embodiment or "ME". Maya is a term borrowed from Hinduism. We do not use or define the Maya in the exact same way as does Hinduism, but rather append the term "Embodiment" to Maya to indicate what exactly happens when God is quantized. ME is not DX, but it is the precursor in which some part of God has had its identity shifted by the power of Dream so that it considers that it is not God. Hence, the Dreamer awakens inside of a dream and has no idea that she is TAO in a different form.
Maya-Embodiment serves the specific purpose of isolating, via embodiment, any threats to the Unity of Infinity. ME also operates throughout in our Universe as we saw in the example of our disowning thoughts by mentally embodying them as non-I. Nature, as we have previously mentioned, embodies your dreams by locking them away inside of your brain so that the unity of the external world is not threatened. We also see ME at work when we imprison criminals and lunatics who threaten the unity, or order, of society. Incarceration is a form of rejecting the "non-I's" of culture, for these non-I's seek to destroy culture and order by breaking "our" laws. In extreme cases, we we see ME working when we execute the most violent of criminals, thus embodying them in death. This solution is so effective and permanent that these criminals never reappear to trouble us.
In a positive vein, monks, priestesses, and other holy persons go into seclusion and retreat so that the everyday world does not intrude upon they unity the seek to establish with God. We could call seclusion Maya-Embodiment, for it is a way of physically embodying one's self apart from a world that inhibits the pursuit of God. The point is that Maya-Embodiment is a purposeful function of Infinity that was active in the formation of our Universe and has also been engineered into it.
Maya-Embodiment is a functionality which can take many forms having many moral hues ranging from good and evil. In all cases, the motive of ME is to maintain a real or perceived unity of self, family, society, and so on. Maya-Embodiment is also one the agents of human personality, for it causes a being, or an "I" who calls himself "me" to appear. ME is the method whereby LELA embodies DX Dreams -- and everything and everyone therein -- in order to spatially and functionally distinguish them from Infinity. It does this by transforming Unity-opposition into discrete, quantized forms, processes, and beings, all of which are effectively rendered sub-Infinite by dint of their inability to recognize themselves as part the Infinite Collective.
ME generates a Psycho-Synthetic Reality Process within DXverses and this process can indeed be interpreted to be an illusion by those who are astute enough to see past the embodiment dynamics of ME. ME is a form of excommunication from Infinity and with it comes great freedoms, risks, dangers, impermanence, and death. One possible way out is to renounce this Universe and one's self to the point of ego death, for ego death is the only form of repentance that LELA TAO accepts.
To give form and visibility to ME, we will rightly recognize her as the goddess Maya. This conception of Maya as a goddess is contrary to the Hindu understanding of Maya, and so we acknowledge that ours is a reinterpretation based on DX philosophy. Maya is also the Sandman for she is the one who sends all of us into sleep and dream. Maya attends to us from conception to death and back to life again. She does things in our lives under the Shadow of Mystery that we will never know or understand. Maya is an inescapable part of Soul or Self, call it what you will. Consider this fragment from an earlier work of mine:
LELA the Awakened One watched as the Dreamer drifted off into the Dream. At the split second the Dream arose and the Dreamer identified herself as arising within it, the Awakened One invoked Maya so as to render that part of Infinity non-Infinite via embodiment. Maya quantized and rendered non-Infinite that part of the Continuum in the very moment when it identified itself as being other than God. To prevent this act of identification from destabilizing Unity, the Dream and the Dreamer watching the Dream were walled off from by Infinity through an act of Maya-Embodiment. Maya caused the "I" of the Dreamer to appear and Maya also causes the "I" that each of us experience as ourselves to appear. I" is an orientation, it is a way a sub-Infinite being speaks of its self. As such, ME requires that a name be given to each sub-Infinite form, process, and being, a name being necessary to differentiate the individual from everything else.
In this passage we see the duality of Maya, for TAO can invoke Maya whereas the Dreamer has no awareness of having been quantized and rendered non-Infinite. Maya is the guardian of Unity and the Queen of the fabled "Wheel of Birth and Death." She will continue to figure prominently as we descend ever nearer to the actual Disunification of Energy and Awareness, for she presides invisibly behind the events to come. The consequences of ME for the Dreamer were that the Dreamer would be separated from Infinity for all of eternity, for an eternity is how long one of God's dreams lasts. In this passage we also see the necessity and significance of names; this is a subject we will later address.
In summarizing this section, we note that Mystery-Land contains numberless DX Dreams and so, to keep these separate one from another, each DX Dream is embodied within its own DXsphere, or what we could call a Dream-Body. A Dream-Body contains a piece of God asleep. LELA uses ME and DXsheres to permit that which is perceived to be non-God (the Dream and Dreamer) to function and exist apart from Unity. The sub-infinite Dream, however, still needs to be observed in order to have reality, and so, from within the Dream, the Dreamer serves as "The Watcher" and/or any other name one wishes to impute to the primal and omnipresent observer whose gaze permeates and records every aspect of our Universe. That our Universe is being continually recorded alludes to the Akashic Records, Judgment Day, one's reincarnational status, Hell, the Bardos, Purgatory and the various other after-death/between-lives phenomenon, which topics and phenomena will be discussed in a later chapter.
How are DX Dreams transformed into sub-Infinite universes?
There is a sequence to ME. The first sequence in ME occurs when TAO distinguishes the Dream and Dreamer as being other than a part of Infinity. The distinction causes the Dreamer to spontaneously appear. The Dreamer is unable to identify with Unity and has instead unconsciously identified itself with the DX-Dream due to the process of ME.
LELA embodies both the Dream and Dreamer inside of a void we will call DXsphere (pronounced "day-sphere"). A DXsphere is simply a sphere which contains nothing:
A DXsphere
A DXsphere can also be called a void moment, which term will be explained later. A DXsphere is a void, an emptiness, or a space, within the Continuum of Infinity that contains nothing. A void moment is an elastic one-way/one-time membrane into which something can enter but once and from which nothing can exit except under a very special set of conditions. The exterior of a DXsphere physically contacts Infinity at every point and so remains continuous with Infinity. However, the interior, mirrored wall of a DXsphere is not in contact with the Continuum of Infinity. The term "Infinity Surround" is the term used to teach us that our Universe and we ourselves are ultimately surrounded by Infinity. When I look up into the sky at night, I know, based upon DX teaching, that our Universe does not go on forever and ever. Our Universe ends and Infinity is what exists beyond. Only Infinity is that which goes on forever and ever. DX theory predicts that if one were one able to fly to the edge of the Universe they would rebound off the interior wall of the DXsphere, for this container does not allow us passage into Infinity. Were you somehow able to attain the Infinite Energy required to penetrate the DXsphere and pass into Infinity, you would simply collapse back into the Unified Continuum of Infinity and cease to exist as yourself.
Conceptually, a DXsphere is a particle that has no mass or energy. It exists by Divine fiat as a place of emptiness whose only reality is the distinction of emptiness, or nothingness, itself. Because Infinity contains everything, Infinity also contains nothing. Nothing is the absence of anything, whereas Infinity is the totality of everything. In order to differentiate, or distinguish, nothing from everything, Infinity uses void moments to embody, and thus distinguish, nothingness. Within DX thinking, we visualize Mystery Land as being endlessly shot through with void moments:
There are many different ways to imagine and describe this vast field of void moments. What is important for now is to note that the nothingness within Infinity is embodied within empty spheres. Because the rest of Infinity is "filled" by everything else except nothing, the void moments, or DXspheres, represent the potential for that which is non-Infinite to appear. Zen adepts will perhaps already realize where I am going. If so, you can see that nothingness will indeed play a pivotal role in our Universe and that what you intuit in your meditation is the ground state, or zero base, of the Universe. What you see is correct, because there is nothing underlying our Universe. Paradoxically, there is a lot of something in our Universe and you are part of that something, otherwise you would be unable to notice anything for nothing is unable to distinguish itself. Only some One can notice and practice nothingness as a principle of existence. The Something-Nothing relationship is yet another of the Infinite paradoxes and it works by virtue of embodiment. You do not have a necessity except insofar as you do need to realize nothingness. Otherwise, as the koan asks, if there is no mirror then where will the dust alight?
A DXsphere is not a black hole because it has no gravitational pull relative to Infinity. There is an upper limit to the mass that a given DXsphere can contain, and this upper limit ensures that whatever LELA quantizes and places therein will remain sub-Infinite. The mass-limit of DXspheres prevent universes from being or becoming Infinite. For the purposes of our work, a particular DXsphere, 32-78 is its assigned number, can be considered as the point of origin, or address, of our Universe. The Eminence provided me with this number and it does mean something -- although I am not presently free to reveal it.
The Dreamer
Who is the Dreamer who spontaneously appears in the Dream? The Dreamer has an teleological necessity, for the Dream and the universe that results from it cannot exist without an observer. The Dreamer is symbolized by the All-Seeing Eye of antiquity:
The All-Seeing Eye
The Dream itself was embodied in DXsphere 32-78. Here we symbolize DXsphere 32-78 after it has been filled with the substance of LELA's Dream:
The Embodied Dream
The lightning in the Embodied Dream speaks to the activity of Maya-Embodiment within the Dream. ME is present on a sub-Infinite level to provide the motive force and psychic modification required to self organize the quanta in the Dream into forms, processes, and beings. Because the Embodied Dreamer is rooted in Mystery, we will place the symbol of Mystery therein. This will serve to remind us that everyone and everything who will ever exist in our Universe will have a piece of Mystery at the very center of their being. This mystery will be especially intense and problematic for sentient beings, for it will confound their sense of "I":
Mystery in the Dream
The above symbol represents many aspects of LELA's DX Dreams: Night, potency, thunder, synapes, the heavens, fertility, power, branching fractal structures, and those fateful forks in the road where we must choose one thing or another.
Maya causes the Dreamer to spontaneously appear within a Dream in a strange and mysterious place:
The Dreamer within the Dream
We have now come to the essence of understanding LELA's DX Dreams, for they are unconscious acts of identification whereby LTD identifies herself as arising inside of a given reality, which reality she does know even know is a dream. When "The Dreamer" ceases to identify herself as God, self-ignorance occurs; the dreamer cannot say with certainty who she is. This is a crisis of "I" when one cannot say who they are. All the Dreamer sees is a mysterious other, which other is whatever or whoever is arising in the Dream.
The Bhagavad Gita informs us that:
"Whenever there is another, fear arises."
And so just as the Dreamer experienced fear as the primary and first sensation of embodiment, so too would we. Fear is the native disposition of those who awaken to find themselves in bodies. The Dreamer no longer knows her true identity and instead has the fearful experience that she is alone in a mysterious place and that mysterious things are happening. The Dream itself looms larger than the Dreamer. This perception that the Dream is larger and more powerful, that it envelopes and controls the Dreamer is also an effect of ME. In the DX,
The Dreamer's Role in our Universe
There always has to be an observer, or a witness, if anything is to exist. Because LELA the Awakened One cannot behold the Dream or our Universe directly, she appoints the Dreamer to do so on her behalf. LELA the Dreamer is the One whose perception is necessary if anything in our Universe, including each of us, is to exist at all. The Dreamer, or Observer, is that One who will witness the eternal pageant that is our Universe. The phenomenology of the DX argues that if a tree falls in the forest it will not make noise unless someone hears it. Therefore, a disunified Universe exploding into existence will not be real unless there is One who witnesses it. The Observer, or Dreamer, is the agent of the Almighty, Awakened, Uncreate God. As such, it is the Dreamer who will witness the conception, birth, life, and death of our Universe on behalf of God. It is the Dreamer who will grant each of us ontological reality by virtue of her observation of us. The Dreamer allows God to manifest sub-Infinite universes without directly observing, and hence destroying, them. Yet the Dreamer is only a Witness and will not herself do the work of universe-making. That function will be left to others we will discuss in the next chapter.
_____
Let us recapitulate the work we have done in this chapter. This is the Symbol of the Embodied Dreamer:
In this symbol we are not looking at our Universe. What we are looking at is the Dream, which, by virtue of the presence of the Dream and Dreamer, has become the Pre-Universe. The Pre-Universe is a temporal place which will become our Universe only after the DX proper occurs. In the Pre-Universe we see the vibrant, elusive mystery embedded in what will become our Universe. By the use of different names for LELA, we are able to understand how one aspect of God remains conscious as God while another aspect enters into the DX Dream through an unconscious act of identification. When the Dreamer fell into the Dream of our Universe, she dreamed of a place wherein free creation, rather than the monolithic totality of Infinity, would be the principle of existence. This dream of free and unbridled creation was alluring. Yet the Awakened LELA knew full well that the infinite Unity of Energy of Awareness would have to be annihilated if the Dream were to be realized -- and where there is a Dream there is no Awakened One present. Instead, there is only the Dreamer, who was permitted to pass into a great dream of consequences and sacrifice so that some part of Infinity could be freed, or disunified, from Unity in order that our Universe could arise.
The paradox of Infinity is that Creation is not possible therein. The corollary to this paradox is that Creation requires Mystery. Hence, all creative acts have some level of mystery to them, for we do not know their exact source of creation, inspiration, or genius. An artist can claim that they are the source of their creations, yet if they are honest they will admit that there is a mysterious connection to genius that they do not wholly comprehend. Sometimes creating is the happiest and best thing in the world, while other times it is tortured, slow, or agonizing in some way. In my own experience, one pays dearly for the privilege of creating. Moreover, and perhaps this is premature, but there is a "games condition" axiom in DX teaching which states that, "One can either create or one can be God, but one cannot do both." This axiom violates the Judeo-Christian idea that God is the Creator. The axiom also reveals that the DX operates from a distinction, which distinction most religions are wholly incapable of making, namely the distinction that God cannot create. Yet if God cannot create, then who, or what, will bring our Universe into existence? And what will be used to make our Universe?
