Mystery God of Occult Science

      According to Occultists, Esotericism, Mystics, and Sages of the Ancient Wisdom tradition, there is but one true reality and source of life which manifests the infinitude of diversity we collectively conceive of as the Universe. The concept of a Godhead pervades the plethora of Esoteric Spiritual Schools, Orders, and Disciplines throughout history and has remained entirely consistent due to its profound, reasoned, and unifying metaphysical schematic for classifying the all-encompassing Essence which structures the Cosmos. The Godhead, Source, Infinite Unmanifest is the Universal Principle, the Primal Quintessence from which all emanations and manifestations unfold into the plethora of dynamic, substantial, individuated, and unique life-forms & atomic components which propagate in the myriad of worlds diffused throughout the Cosmos. This Universal, Eternal essence is the life generating principle underpinning all these varied forms, archetypes, and manifestations doing so through the concept of autopoiesis, or self-generation. 

     Autopoiesis is the notion of intrinsic self-organization infused into every aspect of Cosmic existence enabling all the archetypal life-patterns to manifest and materialize in absolute alignment with Primal Natural Laws maintaining an equilibrium throughout the Universe. Allowing manifested phenomena to autopoetically generate themselves fosters the principle of non-directive emanation from the Godhead allowing the Cosmos to maintain its structural integrity without direct divine intervention or continuous divine oversight to manage the multitude of emanated archetypal life-forms or atomic meta-structures comprising the totality of existence. Thus, the Infinite Unmanifest is the quintessence from which everything arises yet paradoxically remains inherently separate from its emanated Universe. 

       The Infinite Unmanifest has often been referred to as a universal consciousness or spirit, yet this is only a partial truth of the absolute nature of the Godhead. The Unmanifested Essence is not able to be conceived in terminology reminiscent of created phenomena and requires an apophatic (negative) interpretation that is capable of elucidating the arcane nature of its conceptualization. Otherwise, if not illustrated in a terminology of negation, the entirety of this mysterious and seemingly paradoxical supposition would only scratch the surface of this subject remaining totally incomplete likely rendering its mental formulation into an contradictory conception of its true absolute actuality. One can only extrapolate on such a discordant delineation from the perspective of non-being, non-existence, and negation otherwise you have attributed something to the ALL-THING and dissolved its primal nature. 

       In the esoteric phraseology of an anonymous hierophant, the concept of the Unmanifested Deity is " Not This; Not That" and it is emphatically imperative for an individual to constantly reiterate this metaphysical absolute for any appreciable understanding to be obtained. The Infinite Unmanifest has been illustrated by the Rosicrucian's as Infinite Space or as a "circle whose center is everywhere and its circumference is nowhere" which though seemingly paradoxical at first glance is in actuality an elucidating concept once meditated upon thoroughly.

    The concept of Infinite Space has always been regarded as the best approach to conceive of such an elusive notion since the unmanifest cannot be thought of consciously as a "Thing" and consciousness is only capable of comprehending 'things'. Factually speaking, the Infinite Unmanifest is a "Nothing" in contradistinction to a "Thing", and yet not such a "Nothing" as to insinuate "not-ness" or "naught" but such a 'No-Thing" as denotes the Possibility of Everything, yet without the Limitations of 'Thingness'. 

       Thus, Infinite Space cannot be described as a "thing' because it has none of the characteristics of a "Thing", however it unequivocally cannot be refused actual existence or presence. Approximately speaking, it may be described as "A No-Thing" comprising within itself the potentiality of infinite Thingness, or the infinite possibility of Things. Therefore, Infinite Space must be thought of as the Absolute Receptacle of Everything, whether manifest or unmanifest--- for outside of Infinite Space there is only Nothingness, or, stringently speaking there is no outside of Infinite Space. It has always been regarded esoterically in this symbolic terminology due to the fact that humanity is only capable of comprehending or "thinking of" the Infinite Unmanifest in such a conscious way. 

     It is the Eternal Parent wrapped in the Sleep of Cosmic Night. It has been stated about reality by ancient sages that, "The Essence of Being is without attributes, formless, devoid of distinctions, and unconditioned. It is different from that which we know, and from that which we do not know. Words and thought turn from it without finding it. The wise answer only by silence all questions concerning its nature. To all suggestions concerning its qualities, properties, and attributes, the wise simply answer: 'neti, neti'—'not this, not that!' Of THAT the wise assert simply 'It IS.'"  

    There are Eight Great Aphorisms utilized to concretely delineate the absolute Essence and expound decisively upon its nature. The First Aphorism states, " The Eternal Parent was Wrapped in the Sleep of the Cosmic Night". Thus, it is known by esotericists that the Infinite Unmanifest presents Itself in cyclical great periods of Manifestation, the Cosmic Days, and then great periods of Unmanifestation, the Cosmic Nights. During a period of Cosmic Night the ALL exists as if it is wrapped in an unconscious and dreamless sleep, out of which with the dawning of a new Cosmic Day it reawakens steadily into Manifestation. The Cosmic Day, correspondingly, eventually finds itself transforming into a Twilight, which then gradually, assuredly dissolving into the Cosmic Night when everything becomes inert and serene. 

      This Cosmic Cycle of Periodicity, that operates rhythmically in binary stages of active manifestation followed inevitably by a stage of dissipation, is one of a perpetual succession and reoccurrence, an eternal rhythm. These are the active and passive cycles of the Infinite Unmanifest. Upon initiation of an active cycle, a up-building evolution of the Divine Essence from without inwardly, and from within outwardly, occurs in compliance to eternal and immutable law, and the manifested, visible cosmos is the ultimate consequence of the extended sequence of cosmic forces successively generated into motion.

     In juxtaposition to the Cosmic Period of manifestation, once the passive cycle is initiated, there is a corresponding contraction of the Divine Essence eventually resulting with the prior work of manifested creation becoming steadily and incrementally abrogated. The universe is degenerated, its material components disperse and completely dissolve, and "absolute darkness" arises singular and exclusively alone, "brooding once more over the face of the Deep". One metaphor routinely employed to illustrate more easily this concept is stated as follows, " an out-breathing of the 'unknown essence' produces the world; and an inhalation causes it to disappear". 

    Another such elucidating example from a learned esotericist is, " the universally coexistent forces of attraction and repulsion which, as we have seen, necessitate rhythm in all minor changes throughout the universe, also necessitate rhythm in the totality of its changes—produce now an immeasurable period during which the attracting forces predominating, cause universal concentration, and then an immeasurable period, during which the repulsive forces predominating, cause universal diffusion". 

      The First Aphorism further states, "Light there was not: for the Flame of Spirit was not yet rekindled." This is a difficult phraseology to garner appreciable understanding about due to several concepts routinely held by those only privy to partial truths about the Infinite Unamnifest with one consisting of the notion that the ALL is composed of pure Spirit with a Flame being the occult symbol of Spirit. However, this is only a half-truth for it has been taught by the initiated adepts that not only behind Matter, but also behind Spirit there resides an Eternal and Infinite Essence which is neither Matter nor Spirit, and this Essence is the fundamental and unconditioned root and source of both Spirit and Matter. 

        The ubiquitously held occult symbolic representation of Spirit, the Light and Flame, have veiled behind them the "Lightness and Heatless" Essence of Light and Flame itself. Thus, the Infinite Reality is unequivocally the Essence of the Spirit Light and Flame and not the Light and Flame itself accordingly. This has been termed the "Dark Flame" and it is the essence of the flame and light, not the flame or light itself which are the material manifestations of the veiled Essence from which they arise into existence. The essence is the "spirit of the fire" not the fire itself, because the attributes of the Fire-- light, heat, and flame---are not the qualities of this veiled Essence, but specifically, solely characteristics of the Fire which the Eternal Essence is the cause. Therefore, the Infinite Unmanifest must not be conceived by an individual as being Spirit, but intrinsically akin to Pure Space out of which the Flame materializes and is contained. 

         The First Aphorism states, "Time there was not: for Change had not begun." This statement about the Infinite Unmanifest is also a potentially onerous and intractably enigmatic description of an obviously confounding premise. The conception of Time, in a stringent philosophical understanding of its terminology, does not denote the pure duration of existence, but contradistinctively designates Time as "the measure of changing existence". A semipiternal, persisting reality in which there is no alteration of form, degree, or activity be it mental or physical, constitutes one that is Timeless. Consequently, Time is, in actuality, indicatively "but the measure of change". Absence of change, there accordingly no such thing as Time., and Pure Being manifests not Time. Therefore, Time is the consequence of Becoming, or Change, and is solely measured by change or becoming in something.  Juxtapose the previous notion of Pure Duration which transpires without the requisite relational concept to the motions of changes in things. 

    Contrarily, Time is the reasoned quantification of any segment of duration, frequently comprised of specific phenomena, such as the orbital rotations of the stellar bodies or the movement of the earth upon its axis. Humanities typical notion of Time revolves around the idea of measurable motions, normally consisting of the systematic and steady rotary motions exhibited by stellar objects in the heavens, the segments of which, in the harmonious similitude, are the proper measurements of the recurrent and sequential quantity referred to as Time, from which they are formulated to coexist. Thus, Time may be designated as the perceived number of sequential motions. 

    Time is also correspondingly apparent to exist in the continual alterations and changes of our mental states, thoughts, and mental imagery whether waking or asleep. Therefore, in the absence of permutations in the outer or outside world, signified to our mind by the perception of such alterations, Time would not exist for us. Thus, proceeding from the notion of an Eternal Unalterable Reality, for whom and by whom no "outer world" has been or is manifested, and which resides in an unconscious, dreamless sleep, and for such a Reality there would unequivocally exist no Time at all, and Timelessness would abide until the initiation of changes begin to occur or reoccur. There is a wise quote that encapsulates this final analysis, " The student will perceive that given Infinite Existence, and the absence of Change, then we must necessarily postulate Pure Duration, and the absence of Time. There is no logical escape from this conclusion". The Eternal Parent is unalterable, unchangeable, timeless, and uniform. 

       The First Aphorism further states: "Things there were not: for Form had not re-presented itself."  This concept will yet again illustrate a further immutable precept of existence and the nature of the Infinite Unmanifest. The concept of a "Thing" is whatever manifests, or is formulated to exist, as a distinct entity, as an individuated or independently manifested object of thought. Furthermore, all "Things" must manifest into a "Form" distinguishable from other "Forms". The stipulation of a Form is: (1)the schematic or structure of anything, as differentiated from its material components from which it is comprised, or configuration; (2) the process of functioning or manifestation of anything in relation to the senses or the intellect; (3) the aggregation of characteristics embodying a conception, or the inner composition that makes a manifested thing what it is.

     In Contradistinction to the Infinite Unmanifest, in specific terminology, a "Thing" must intrinsically contain the potential of being conceived of or imagined as being constituted of qualities, attributes, or properties differentiating its nature from other manifested things, and thus it is requisite for all "Things" to emanate a form so that it may be discernible and cognized by our senses or intellectual mind as a distinct Thing. Consequentially, the Infinite Unmanifest---The Eternal Parent--- must indubitable, emphatically not be adjudged or considered to manifest Form, or to exhibit or intimate any definite characteristic, feature, or attribute of Manifestation when residing in its Unmanifested State, and this is absolutely imperative for conclusive apprehension of this concept.

      Once the Eternal Essence dons the Robe of Manifestation it subsequently descends into an involution of activity to materialize the appearance of Things, with these Things each exhibiting Form that consist of distinct characteristics, properties, or attributes which can differentiated from the other Manifested Things. It is apodictic within acknowledged philosophical inquiry and metaphysical conceptualization that the Infinite Unmanifest must be explicitly denied the idea of comprising or manifesting (within its essential nature) any single designation of qualities, properties, or attributes which subsequently emerge in its Manifestation of Things, as demarcated from the inverse assemblage of qualities, properties, characteristics, or attributes. Furthermore, the Infinite Unmanifest cannot be mentally envisioned as comprising or being an integration of the opposite aggregations of qualities, properties, or attributes due the immutable fact that opposites inherently negate each other becoming dissolved in their polar dis-affinity.                                                                 

      In absolute contrariety, the Infinite Unconditioned Essence, in lieu of possessing qualities, properties, or attributes-- or Form in any designation of terminology-- the Unmanifest must be appraised as signifying the "potentiality of infinite manifestation of Form, qualities, properties, and attributes in its manifestations," or "the infinite possibility of the manifestation of Form, qualities, properties, or attributes in its manifested Things."  The Infinite Eternally Unmanifest Essence cannot be postulated as a "Thing" either in itself or through its diagrammatic symbol of Infinite Space. As an illumined esoteric sage once said, " it must be regarded as "An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable Principle, regarding which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought—it is unthinkable and unspeakable." This is an immutable and inescapable conclusion. 

       Additionally, the First Aphorisms states, "Action there was not: for there were no Things to act".  There is an obvious level of self-evidence contained within the first statement due to the intrinsic nature of the previous aphorism and preceding explanation. However, an extrapolation for its appreciation is a necessary for brief consideration. Accordingly, since the Infinite Unmanifest during its state of Non-Being is not comprised of ANY Things, therefore as there are currently existing no "Things" to exhibit characteristics or stimulative action notions entirely ascribed to the Active cycle of manifestation, consequently there are no Things that can engage in activity or act at all. No-thing Exists

       Moreover, since all activity of the Infinite Unmanifested Essence must be via Things, and it be requisite that all activity displays Change it is apparent that where there is Change there is unable to be activity, thus there is no activity within the Eternal Parent. However, the Infinite Unmanifest must not be imagined to be powerless, since it contains ALL POWER, and further it must not be considered as motionless, as opposed to active, for within its being is Abstract Motion. Hence, finitely expressed, the Eternal Parent during its restful non-being state, it resides in a State of such inconceivably Infinite Motion that juxtaposed to relative motion, it exists in a State of Absolute Rest. 

       The First Aphorism further states, "The Pairs of Opposites there were not: for there were no Things to manifest Polarity." It is abiding and inherent to the conception of the UnManifested Infinite Essence that while in a state of inactivity it remain undifferentiated, yet once initiating its descent into a Cycle of Manifestation it must actuate every Thing it emanates through the combination of qualities, properties, or attributes. Every single emanated quality, aspect, property, or attribute is but one of a pair of Opposite manifestations, being but one Pole of the dual Polarities residing in a specific Quality that is ever existent within the Cosmic Manifestation.

   Thus, there consisting of One quality, characteristic, or attribute of Thingness, it is necessarily requisite that there must inherently manifest in other Things an inverse or Opposite principle, its other Pole---its antithetical essence or antithesis. This is an immutable Law of Manifestation without exception, and even if the manifested Opposite principle or quality be not readily apparent or seemingly absent in reality, a determined and diligent investigation will assuredly unveil its reality with it being existent and intrinsically logically predicated out of a necessity. 

     It is a familiar concept mentioned within the seven Hermetic Principles and can ascribe the polarity inherent with ideas such as: Hard and Soft, Hot and Cold, Large and Small, Far and Near, Up and Down, Day and Night, Light and Darkness, Long and Short, Wet and Dry, Form and Force, Male and Female, etc. Whether our linguistic systems seemingly fail to elucidate an obvious Polarity to a particular component or terminology of existence, the postulated Opposite may be then delineated by adding the prefix "Not" to the regarded quality, aspect, or attribute. Certain metaphysicians & spiritual philosophers have postulated that the term "Infinite" denotes a quality, essence, or property which was the Inverse of the term Finite, yet this is merely a sophism for a misconstrued conceptualization of the terms Infinite or Finite.  Strictly speaking, in regarding the terminology of "Infinite", it should be the inverse of any limit, boundary, impediment, or restriction of form regardless of the extent, quantum scope, or magnitude. 

  It is an undeniable impossibility for human consciousness to conceive, envision, or imagine in a concrete thought-form the nature of the Infinite Unmanifest, nor to attribute terminology corresponding to Thingness or Form, properties, characteristics, does it insinuate the idea of or attributes of any type to this Eternal Essence, thus the linguistic concept of "Infinity" exhibits no opposite. It is solely upon the inception of a Cycle of Manifestation that duality or Polarity is born into reality. The Infinite Unmanifest is depicted as & signifies the concept of negation being without limitations, boundaries, forms, or restrictions of any kind. Instead, it contains the potentiality for an infinite quantity of manifestations to be generated. They are always manifested  as polarized binary pairs or "oppositional" forces which come into existence as harmonious, equilibrated dualities of degrees. This primal precept highlights that all materialized Things or Objects, out of a necessity imbued by Natural Law, must exhibit an archetypal Polarity to become manifested as qualities, attributes, or characteristics. Consequently, it is conclusive that the Eternal Parent, in its primal essence, possess none of the pairs of Opposites designated to Polarity or their presence. 

      Lastly, The First Aphorism finally states: "The Eternal Parent, causeless, indivisible, changeless, infinite, rested in unconscious, dreamless, sleep. Other than the Eternal Parent there was Naught, either Real or Apparent." When considering the supposition that the Eternal Parent is causeless it is seemingly self-evident due to the immutable fact that it is an impossibility for the Eternal Essence, The Original Being, to have been conceived, predicated, or caused by any force other than itself since it is the ALL, with it encompassing, constituting, and exhibiting all the potentiality or possibility of all manifested causes and things from which they proceed. That which is Eternal must inherently out of immutable necessity be entirely Causeless.

      The Infinite could not conceivably have an Other which preceded its origination or could have been its causal antecedent; nor could it have been created out of Nothing because, accordingly, out of Nothing proceeds nothing. The precept that the Infinite Unmanifest be undifferentiated, or indivisible is also similarly self-explanatory due to the unavoidable fact that any-thing that is able to be divided into segments or components is correspondingly comprised of particles or pieces negating the idea of it being a Uniformity. Furthermore, any-thing comprised of particles must consequently be just an Aggregation, Amalgamation, or a Composite of these parts once again negating the conception of it being an Eternal Totality or a true Unity. Consequentially, anything designated as a truly Infinite cannot become differentiated or individuated into fragmentary aspects of itself without negating its intrinsic Infinity. These Absolute predicates any notion of True Infinity, and there is no logical escape from this conclusion.

    Additionally, the Eternal Unmanifested Essence is incapable of Essential Change is evident and elementary because even manifesting the total potentiality of the infinitude of Things, the Infinite Unmanifest must remain inherently itself, never any-thing except itself. Not being comprised of any qualities or properties it cannot undergo any form of changeability which correspond to the manifestation of Polarity in the Pairs of Inverse Principles. Also, it does not display or exhibit any Form which is essential for Change and Permutation to transpire. The Eternal Parent, The Infinite Unmanifested Essence, is absolutely Immutable, and there is no avoiding its conclusivity.

    Finally, this Eternal Principle accordingly rest in a state of "Dreamless Unconsciousness" with it being logically unavoidable due to the fact that regular consciousness is predicated upon its ability to change or shift in its mental state. Thus, an unchangeable state of Consciousness must be regarded as an Unconscious one. However, this does not imply that this Infinite Unconsciousness is somehow "an inferiority or lesser conception of Consciousness" but contrarily it is state of existence that ascends beyond ordinary consciousness--- a state of Infinite Super-Consciousness--a transcendent state of Consciousness, that contains within its nature the "potentiality of Consciousness" without the implicit implementation of it. Ordinary natural consciousness is therefore a descent from this phase of existence and not an ascent.

     Now to lightly recapitulate this into a Conclusion, the crux of these lengthy delineations has been to offer an exegetical delineation along with a thorough analysis on the Divine Enigma: The Occult Mystery God. The only methodology capable of an such an Indepth comprehensive exposition, with its validity unquestionable, was utilizing an Apophatic process of "Definition by Negation" in order to adequately eliminate the totality of ingrained Exoteric Dogmas, ideological preconceptions, and usage of most materialistic terminology. Accordingly, by strict adherence to a negative, apophatic method for demonstrating "Mystery God's attributive characterization (or lack of it) in conjunction with a pure, rigorously Logical formula to illustrate the rational and correct reasoning underlying the Occult Definition of GOD. Consequently, this long but systematic process generated the required conceptualizations and irrefutable stepwise Logic necessitated for the Truth of "God" to be conclusively demonstrated efficaciously enough to cause Exoteric Religious Fanatics to rethink their childlike conceptions of the Abrahamic God Yahweh.   

       The high sophistication and sublime reasoning underlying nature of the Occult Mystery God is the antithesis of commonly expressed Exoteric notions about God by the Abrahamic laymen. The Esoteric explanation of the Absolute is one referring to A Root Essence or the Infinite Unmanifest that presides over Cosmic Cycles as the Eternally Unconditioned Essence that emanates an initial fragment that will then crystallize into the FIRST CAUSE. This in turn emanates the stimulating force that subsequently inaugurates a New Cycle of Manifestation in the Cosmos in a stupendously intricate process of Involution of Spirit towards a state in materialization and effectuates these through Cosmic Natural Law eternally reconstituted through repeated cycles of Cosmic Differentiation. 

       This Universal Essence is incomparable to and in actuality a complete refutation of the widely worshiped, believed, and held concept of the Patriarchal Deity of Abrahamic Theology. The Biblical Deity continuously and infallibly exhibits every conceivable characteristic that is a total negation of this Universal Principle, (one predicated upon the fundamental absolutes required for an Eternal, Immutable, and Undifferentiated Essence), and is a Creator which constantly demonstrates its schizophrenic personality, rampant emotionality, obvious masculinity, penchant for nepotism, divine condemnation, genocidal retribution, and predilection for Humanity's  anti-nature psychopathology which has disintegrated our symbiotic relationship with Gaia not to mention our fellow terrestrial inhabitants.
