One More Spin of the Wheel…

In the beginning there was and is light and light saw itself to become thought which then cast its shadow to become the universe.

Let us break down this statement:

In the beginning there was and is light…

Light (Yahweh, Love, etc.) is the source of everything – the eternal Way 

...and light saw itself to become thought…

Thought’s eyeball is energy unexpressed or dormant energy. The desire to express caused the thought circuit to energize and to open. 

  
…which then cast its shadow to become the universe.

Thought opened the door that allowed the dormancy to express itself. This in turn caused a creative explosion that filled thought’s circuit thereby ensuring the continuance of thought’s life in energy.  

The Twist

Thought on its own has no option but to return to the light. But the dormant stillness rushing to express itself causes the eyeball to twist into states of reduction that represent all the lesser energies seeking expression. The twisting of thought is represented by the infinity symbol above. 
     The central dot represents the light. The area encircling the dot is thought (the all-seeing eye). The outer circles connected to the eye represent energetic systems or thinking (things). The identical but opposite outer loops represent energy’s requirement of a balancing opposite (up/down, in/out etc.). 

Control

As our need for energetic control is reconciled the loops become smaller to reflect each new condition. If the loops (or wings) continue to reduce they will eventually disappear altogether by short-circuiting back into the light. Alternatively, as energetic control increases, the balanced loops will follow suit and eventually overburden and exhaust the medium that supports it (our world is a medium or platform for our flights of opposites and it is now heavily burdened).
     We should not be trying to control what already is, we should lighten up and enjoy it.
 
SYNOPSIS

•	We are all connected to a common root (positive). 
•	We should strive to neutralize all of our connections.  
•	Thought may only recover itself through ‘thinking’.
•	Thinking is thought in action. 

He who binds himself to a joy
Does the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
                                               Lives in eternity’s sunrise.
