¥: Whatever consciousness is and whatever identity is, identity is not self-conscious until after difference.

This is the meaning of the Logos being with God before creation.

It is the the manner of it's coming into the world.

♧♧♧♧: The existing differences, in quality of presence as it is cultivated in the medium, are all internal to the formation of a world within the medium.

The undifferentiated light within a single instance of the medium, though capable of flexing through infinity like the mind of God, is not a world occupied by multiple beings, but only a field of potential and actual form.

♧♧♧: These principle differences must be intimately related to form within the chains of reflection.

Where more complexly compounded forms are more likely to exhibit the property of externality, of being closed bodies.

The simplest forms in the process or potentiality of being compounded take on the character of the initial light source.

And between these two, Simple Compounds (or pure "elements") taking on the character of being transparent or reflective/shiny.

♧♧: The differentiation occurs in three principle characters.

That of the through going.

That of the division of one chain of reflections from another (an outside with the capacity to bear a reflection).

&

That, after the type of the first light, a secondary light source, composed of a compound of the medium.

♧: Presence is the compound reflection of the medium's reflection of itself, holding to itself in particular forms and differentiated into different qualities.

The initial simple reflection might, however, be undifferentiated, prior to the mirror's reflection of this reflection into itself.

The differentiation occurring within and across the medium.

☆☆☆☆☆: What is present is not caused by but only modified by causal laws and expressed, fragmentaly, through matter


So far as we are mortal beings we are this modified existence but all that is present is present as a mixture of all of the various partial reconstructions of what remains present from prior to the causal chains we exercise.

☆☆☆☆: The initial conditions of the universe are not merely an arbitrary value but something like a form which is asserted across the whole of time.

It emerges as life. It is the image that undergoes modifications and attempts at replication in it's quantified, integer based, form.

Vacuum energy, dark energy, the cosmological constant are all the presence of the initial form which the laws of physics ultimately only operate on. Expressing it in part, to greater and lesser degree.

☆☆☆: Quantum physics probably is us seeing glimpses of this foundational presence, upon which the macroworld is constructed, through a medium which operates as a continuum through causal laws and equivalences.

☆☆: Having cause and effect, the progression of states, flow of time and generation of compounds be a continuum of activity upon something, rather than simply upon itself, leads us out from a foundation of infinite compounding relations to the possibility of an initial state, present at the beginning of time.

Still present now throughout all of the modifications but divided and mixed in a variety of complex ways.

☆: There may be a real distinction to be made between the laws of cause and effect, as a way of modifying a given situation/state, and that which is being modified.

A distinction between what is ultimately present and the great complexity of modifications which a potentially simple ingredient (or set of ingredients) is put through.
