CHAPTER II. FROM THE ABSOLUTE TO MAN Of the Absolute, the Infinite, the All-embracing, we can at our present stage know nothing, except that It is; we can say nothing that is not a limitation, and therefore inaccurate. In It are innumerable universes; in each universe countless solar systems. Each solar system is the expression of a mighty Being, whom we call the LOGOS, the Word of God, the Solar Deity.
He is to it all that men mean by God.
He permeates it; there is nothing in it which is not He; it is the manifestation of Him in such matter as we can see.
Yet He exists above it and outside it, living a stupendous life of His own among His Peers.
As is said in an Eastern Scripture: "Having permeated this whole universe with one fragment of Myself I remain." Of that higher life of His we can know nothing.
