<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0"><FONT SIZE=3>THE
Divine is All-Light, All-Bliss, All-Power - in himself, in his
essence and true being, always and for ever.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>But, somewhere, in a part of universal being the Divine
chose to forget the Divine, a veil was allowed to interpose in front
of the All-Light, the All-Bliss, the All-Power:</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>A mixture became possible, the dualities were born.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.16in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>Ignorance entered into Knowledge, Pain invaded Delight,
Weakness stole into Strength.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>For a new and extraordinary manifestation this movement
was permitted, for the fullness of experience, for an immense
contradiction turning to a luminous reconciliation and harmony.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.15in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>The Eternal negated his eternity, the Divine became the
undivine.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>Out of the inconscient Consciousness had to arise, Light
out of darkness, Bliss out of suffering, Power out of inertia, - for
the Divine is still the only reality, even in the appearances that
are its opposite.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.15in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>That which is undivine had to become an instrument of
divinity, inconscient Matter to embody the Supreme.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.18in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>For when the One Divine descended into the multiplicity
of manifestation, when he cast out of himself an infinitely varied
and graded existence, the undivine too became a possibility-an
aspect, an appearance the farthest away from his original and highest
status.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>All possibilities are manifested in the Infinite and
this line of descent too had to be followed to its uttermost, the
entire range of its possibility to be exhausted, negated in its own
<SPAN LANG="en-GB">realisation</SPAN> and brought back to the nature
and substance of its Source.</FONT><BR>

<FONT SIZE=3>The beginning of creation is self-objectivisation.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0"><FONT SIZE=3>The
Divine put himself away from himself - &quot;went abroad&quot; - that
he might contemplate himself, that he might establish a  system of
infinite relations with himself.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>Manifestation - Lila - is the working out of this
complex of self-objectivisation.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 150%; margin-top:0">
<FONT SIZE=3>In the processus of this self-objectivisation the
possibility of a movement of denial of self became in appearance
inevitable - denial of self showed itself as the extreme limit, the
final term .of self-objectivisation.</FONT></P>

<FONT SIZE=3>The Divine permitted to himself self-annihilation that
he might pass through it to the completest self-<SPAN LANG="en-GB">realisation.</SPAN></FONT></P>
