Expression and Transcendent Consciousness

Figures of speech or analogies seem to be absolutely essential to express the realities of Profundity. The direct meaning of language does not express the actuality of the Higher Consciousness. We might say that the Actuality envelops the expression but is not directly contained in it. Thus the reader should strive not so much to understand the formal meaning contained in these writings, but to make a certain turn in his own consciousness toward a Matrix that surrounds the expression. He should concentrate upon faint stirrings in his consciousness which he cannot really express, even to himself. They constitute a certain ‘plus’ quantity added onto the formal meaning. The formal meaning serves as a sort of focal point that entrains the subtle ‘plus’ value. It is very hard to reach the latter without the use of the focal point until a rather high level of spiritual development is attained. Hence it remains important to employ various means of expression. But if the expression is taken too much in the rigorous or defined sense, the real and deeper Meaning is lost. Therefore, the words of an Illumined Man should never be taken in the literal sense when He is giving a cross-translation from the Beyond. Now, the ’plus’ quality at first is almost indistinguishable from nothing or emptiness. It is like a breath that has just escaped, a momentary gleam caught from the corner of the eye chat disappears when the full focus of sight is turned upon it. It must be reached for very gently, as one must act in seeking the confidence of a defenseless and fearful creature of the wilds. One should reach out almost as though not reaching at all.

A time will come when This that is so very subtle will be transformed into a Presence more palpable and stronger than the toughest granite. It will manifest a Power so great that It will dissolve nor only the immediate field but even the whole universe. But the Great Power is rarely in the beginning a clearly dominant force, and It must be assimilated very carefully or Ir will disappear in the first stages. In the beginning it may seem that one is walking a tightrope over unmeasured spaces, and the necessary balance is extremely hard to hold. In the end the rope becomes all Space, the Supreme Support of all universes but Itself in need of no support. Visible man, in that case, has been transformed and has become the all-containing Matrix. No longer, then, does he struggle to keep his balance on a rope, but he finds Himself everywhere and therefore Invulnerable.
