The Nature of The Absolute
Let us examine the properties of the void in which the Creator and His universe are located. There are two things that can be said about the void, or the Absolute: It is pure consciousness and at the same time it contains all there is in potential, that is, nonmanifest or intangible form. It is infinite creative energy or a potential or resting nonvibratory state. In order for matter to appear, and later for forms to appear, a vibratory motion as to be introduced into the Absolute.
Vibration means simply the movement of anything between two points of rest or poles, as in a pendulum when it stops and reverses its direction. In other words, whatever vibrates fluctuates between its extreme poles. The movement of a pendulum can be represented by a sine wave. The crests of the sine waves are the points at which the pendulum stops [ point of rest] before swinging back.
As the frequency of a wave increases, its amplitude ( vertical distance between rest) becomes smaller. In other words, the points of rest come closer together. Imagine now a wave of such intense frequency that the points of rest come so closely together they overlap, turning the sine wave into a straight line. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~________ The Absolute In the absolute, opposites merge and are reconciled. At infinite speed it takes no time to get anywhere; one is everywhere at once, omnipotent, in a state of total rest. The paradox is solved.
