CHAPTER TWO

The Cycle of Polarization1

Once the nature of the irreducible One is known, it is relatively easy to follow the disengagement of numbers according to the general scheme described above.

The irreducible One possesses a double nature, and this double nature, which is passive and active respectively, must manifest itself. Herein lies the mystery of numbers.

The cycle of polarization is characterized by generic selection. The irreducible One is equally feminine (passive) and masculine (active), but its nature is not androgynous. That is to say, these two natures exist only potentially and not yet manifestly. Generic selection is hence impossible in this state.

But, as we observed above, the action of polarization is the fact of a scission. In the absolute state this scission has not yet occurred; hence the state is purely causal and has its being outside the cycles of manifestation.

In its absolute nature, the absolute state is not understandable. From the moment, however, that we observe its double nature we have already provoked the scission—for then One (the unique, irreducible cause) is recognized, by its double nature, to be Two.

Thus we may add a new Unity to the causal Unity, and this new Unity is Two.

I = Irreducible Unity. Absolute nature.

(II) = Reducible Unity. The manifested nature of the irreducible One.
