y a circle with a central point. Through it the subjective potential is<br />

objectified. Mother Nature swells to give birth to numerous forms at<br />

different planes <strong>of</strong> existence. This process extends from the complete<br />

negation <strong>of</strong> everything, the void, to all that has been, is and will<br />

be.<br />

From the first objectification <strong>of</strong> Divine consciousness expressed as a central<br />

point, there is a polarization which is quite mysterious. <strong>The</strong> Absolute<br />

contains within itself the power to expand in all directions. It thereby<br />

produces the pair <strong>of</strong> opposites. Operating simultaneously in two directions,<br />

there is expansion as well as contraction. Polarization is an express' 011 <strong>of</strong> this<br />

inherent dual nature <strong>of</strong> manifestation. <strong>The</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> the point leads to<br />

the Unmanifest being manifest, the subject becoming object, the sexless<br />

becoming masculine and feminine. Polarization gives rise to attraction and<br />

repulsion simultaneously.<br />

Whatever takes place in manifestation has its germ or potential in the point.<br />

Yet by itself the central point has no direction. It is the starting point for all<br />

directions. <strong>The</strong> point in motion operates in every direction. It is the urge to<br />

creativity. <strong>The</strong> horizontal and vertical movements <strong>of</strong> the point are not<br />

restricted to merely two directions, rather they represent an ever increasing<br />

expansion on different planes. All planes <strong>of</strong> existence are both horizontal<br />

and vertical to some other plane <strong>of</strong> existence. This establishes the<br />

simultaneous existence <strong>of</strong> masculine and feminine aspects in every form <strong>of</strong><br />

manifestation. <strong>The</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> Ardha-Narishwara* in Hindu mythology,<br />

Shiva and Shakti in one body, one side male and the other female, refers to<br />

this essential fact <strong>of</strong> cosmic polarity.<br />

Each particle <strong>of</strong> energy in the universe is charged with centripetal and<br />

centrifugal forces which generate attraction and repulsion. This gives rise to<br />

magnetism and electricity and arouses motion and activity. <strong>The</strong> interaction<br />

between the polarized force-centers also leads to the ever existing war<br />

between the gods and demons, which brings about the churning <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cosmic ocean. It leads to differentiation, materialization and the production<br />

<strong>of</strong> all the multi-colored forms <strong>of</strong> existence. <strong>The</strong> process <strong>of</strong> differentiation<br />

and expansion which begins with the objectification <strong>of</strong> the central point<br />

continues along the evolutionary cycle on all planes <strong>of</strong> existence. <strong>The</strong><br />

evolutionary force moves not only in three but in multiple dimensions<br />

making it not only an ever expanding sphere, but an unfolding whose depth<br />

cannot be measured by the human mind.<br />

This expanding movement is stopped when the Divine consciousness<br />

restricts the parameter <strong>of</strong> growth. At this stage the innermost point <strong>of</strong> the<br />

expanding blades <strong>of</strong> energy-particles is restricted from further growth. <strong>The</strong>n
