Excerpt from Studies in the Bhagavad Gita by the Dreamer: The Path of Initiation Indrawing Its life within Itself, It exists, the One Root less Root, the One Sat (reality), yet called sometimes the Asat, the Non-existence, because transcending all finite limited existence. Time there was not, for everything was indrawn into the bosom of Eternal Duration. Naught was. The next stage in manifestation is characterised by the action of Time synthesising the residual traces of the Divine Memory, the Divine Ideation, and holding them up, as it were, before the Divine gaze. So we read in the Secret Doctrine, how at the close of the Seven Eternities in which the Self remained in the apparent non-being of inwardness and non-manifestation, the hour struck. The seeds or residual traces of Divine ideation and memory thus rendered objective as the thin veil of the abstract memory of the Divine, mani fest now as the field oi consciousness and ideation, known as the Chitta. Let us take an analogy on the lower plane consciousness to understand dimly what takes place in the Cosmic planes. While we are in deep sleep, the resisting principle of consciousness being indrawn by the Ego, we feel as if we exist not, and yet, at the same time, we cannot say we do not exist. As a matter of fact, the Ego exists and is conscious, but there being nothing to limit and measure its existence and consciousness, to the concrete memory this state appears as one of darkness and non-being. Let us conceive that we are suddenly roused from this state. What takes place The Ego unable, by the very suddenness of the shock which brings it down to the physical, to adjust itself to the new state of things, cannot define itself. It may see the physical surroundings, the panorama of memory may flit before its eyes, yet it is unable to predicate any of these changes to itself, and hence.
