BIG BECOMING"

The so-called "big bang" as the event that commenced this 3-D universe reflects a time distortion in human-centered thinking. In the cosmos most known to human thinking, the visible universe at first unfolded at a rate that to us seemed inconceivably fast, and it involved many components. Then it evolved over a time recently estimated to be around 13.7 billion years ago. However, the process has unfolded on psychic levels too. For example, though cosmic evolution has seemed to move from almost infinitely fast to almost infinitely slow, this range of time is from another perspective-dimension all illusory.

Is it a big blossoming, a big blooey, what? A "bang" certainly is a misnomer.

As for the four cornered figures---the "quadernity." There are levels to the unfoldment that humanity as yet doesn’t get. Some of your mystic alchemists got it, but it was translated a little too literally as the interactions of hot and cold, dry and wet, the four humors, the four whatevers, the tendency of humanity to imagine in intersecting dualities—a mandala that seems to be in four directions, what Carl Jung called a “quadernity.” It’s all true and yet humanity gets only a glimpse, a shadow of a higher truth.

One of the reasons mandalas expand in many directions is that this is what “happening” at multiple levels of existence looks like from a human perspective.




As it "becomes," evolves, emerges, stars are born and die. There is also a radiation of innumerable smaller mandalform sparks. Again, mandalas are how they seem to you from your 3D+Time eyes. But that’ll do if you understand that you’re seeing it from your perspective and also in a highly diagrammatic form.
