Purusha and prakriti

Peter Merriott:
>You ask about Purusha and Prakriti. Generally speaking,
>one takes it to mean Spirit (purusha) and Matter (prakriti).

One thought on that subject might be of some enlightment: Spirit is
matter in it's highest point of evolution, and matter is spirit in
it's lowest point of evolution. So, to become the highest, one must
also become the lowest. That is the reason I think the physical
universe was created by us and for us. One wants to get higher:
Excelsior! We didn't descend here from the top, or from the heavens.
We expanded from the middle. Forever, and after, and that is good.
