Yes, that makes sense.
Some of the child development people who write about the "terrible twos" (Piget?) say that at this age children 'discover' their individuality, and 'develop' it by learning to say "no!". By refusing to go along to get along, they learn what they can or cannot do or say, thus acquiring knowledge through experience.
Perhaps this primal monad has to learn the limits of the particular plane the it discovered itself in, and that not all levels and planes possible for them... have the same rules of behavior. Having a different set of caretakers might allow a completely different expression.
The Book of Changes (Wilhelm/Baynes translation) states, "To know the seeds is divine indeed."
The same principle might hold for shifting states of consciousness. In some states of being the monad can fly, and in others... not.
For instance, in shifting consciousness to the astral body, one of the primary difficulties is to realize that one is not restricted to the sa-me boundaries and limitations of the physical body. Do we 'learn' how to do what we do there from the git-go or does the entire spectrum of possible activities in that state of being exist as potential that only has to be recognized for that potential to be unbound.
Is the force associated with kundalini created or become discovered? Do we not learn from the potential it uncovers for us to realize that we might have taken the No! deal just a little too far in some cases?
Does the admonition from Jesus that we must be as little children to enter the kingdom of God imply that we have to return to the seed to become divine in deed?
Does 'knowledge' and 'experience' exist as a structured set of limitations to inherent potential?
Thank you, Angelique, for helping me to give form to this last question. It exists as my true reason for continuously writing about the experience I related yesterday.
