Russellji's Christian - Gnostic - Advaitic Cosmology

This post is a follow on from previous posts, describing my expereinces as a meditator and seeker. Hopefully, the links of previous posts, listed below, will help give a background to the development of my own Theology (Russellism).

My Path
The Holy Spirit as the Feminine
A Dream Experience
A Waking Experience

I think at this juncture it is also worth noting Paul's injunction in Gal 4:24 "all things are an allegory", with regard to the above links and to that which follows.

RUSSELLISM

A synthesis of "ism's", "ist's", "ity's", and "ollogy's" et. al.

Christian.....Theosophy......Advaita...............Yoga.......NewAge...Gnosis

Father.........Parabrahm......Self......................Sat...... ...God..........Ineffable

HolyGhost...Mulaprakriti....Awareness...........Chit..... ..Goddess...Barbello

Christ..........Atman..............Consciousness....Ananda...Creation...Autogenes

Before the beginning, there just was. Not emptiness, not fullness; not prior to, not after; not incorporeal, not corporeal; just God; inconceivable, ineffable and invisible. Neither large nor small, above nor below. Eternal.

God moved, and thus eminated Itself as a likeness to Itself, different but the same; Awareness aware of Itself; Wisdom. Not two, but differentiated; the movement was the primordial sound of silence, AUM (Om). Being the same but differentiated - an emination - the womb of creation contained within Herself - Itself; and Itself (now He, with the arising of She) and She became (birthed) One. Thus from the Not Two, One was created.

Being created from the vibration of sound (friction), One is the Light radiating the Not Two in its own luminescence. Experience! Consciousness Aware of Itself. Not being the Not Two, One is Totallity. All Potential. Not being the Not Two, One is not eternal but infinite. This is still before space and time, as they are still in potential. Neither male or female, but both. Androgynous.

There was no sequence or seperation, as time and space were not. There is no before the Trinity. Within the One is the Not Two, and within that, is the ineffable.

Lucifer; the En-Lightenned One, exalted in the Glory of the presence of the Father/Mother with the other Elohim, and being the Totallity of Potential with the others, as in a hologram; dreamt what it would be like to be not One and seperate, and made (as opposed to create) a projection within the Mind a likeness unto itself. From the One, dreaming of not One, arose two. Contaning within itself the Not Two, Lucifer's archetypes mirrored their aspects of Power and Wisdom. Adam/Eve, Shiva/Shakti, Knowledge/Wisdom, Night/Day etc., and thus was duallity made.

As above, so below. Because the One is the Totallity of all Potential, infinite in its potential variations; so too does the dream of duallity reflect infinite variety in infinite diversity.

Enamoured with complexity, Lucifer "fell" asleep and along with its archetypes is absorbed in the glamour of the play of life or Lila - the makings of men.

As above, so below - as the maxim goes. Adam/Eve, like Lucifer are asleep. The Bible says a sleep was placed upon Adam, and nowhere does it say he has woken up.

As a part of Lucifer (Elohim), these archetypes, that is you and me, are also a part of and within the One Light of Christ. We are the Elohim dreaming, the Elohim are the One Potential, the One Potential contains the Not Two, The Not Two contains the Ineffible. As such, all the above are contained within us.

"...When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: ... then you will enter [the kingdom]." The Gospel Of Thomas (22)
