Dear Reed:

In regard to the question of considering the 1st LOGOS as 'unmanifest' does
it not serve as a metaphysical LINK between the ABSOLUTENESS and the 2nd
LOGOS (which is the Manifesting Logos) ?

Any "manifestation" has to be within the process of Karmic LAW.

Apparently that LAW has its ultimate "residence" in the ABSOLUTE -- but
even that is not a limitation to IT.  HPB writing in "The Secret Doctrine
and the Vishistadwaita" (HPB ARTICLES -ULT Edn.- Vol, 3, p. 265) as I read
it indicates that the "skandhas" relating to all beings that made up the
earlier Manvanatara were the basis because they did not get "rubbed out" of
the next Manvanatara and were so to say stored during the intervening
Pralaya.

Our daily going to sleep and awakening the next morning must have something
analogous to that in terms of our present earth-bound consciousness, I
think.

As I read the S D , it seems that what is today called hypothetically in
Astro Physics "The Big Bang" is actually the reawakening of the Universe
into manifestation as a "plane," or a "sphere" [ beginning Round 1, Globe A
with the 1st group or Host of Beings to begin to set the basis for further
development.  We at this time are supposed, as HPB defines it (SD I 199-201
) , to be in the 4th Round, 4th Globe (Globe D), 5th Race, 5th Sub-Race.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about how to accurately define this
matter.  But it is all there in the S D and can be verified by using the
INDEX and putting the references together.

Do please check me out on this will you ?
