THE BASE
Tablet One
<1>God
is everlasting, complete, without beginning or end. He is one and
indivisible. He is the source of all things. He is infinite
consciousness.
<2>The circle above represents the infinity
of
God.
<3>The universe consists of consciousness and
the three creative
forces (three gunas).
<4>In the beginning before any expression of consciousness, the
universe was in the state of
"Be"-ness or "AM"-ness.
<5>The circle in the center above represents
the infinity of the universe and
God, and the shadow in the background shows the inability of the
human
mind to comprehend
infinity.
<6>
The three creative forces or three gunas ( )
in the universe are the
sentient force (satva
guna),
mutative force (raja
guna), and static or crudifying
force (tama guna). <7>The
sentient force (satva
guna) in the operative state is the
intelligence or
power of decision-making,
<8>and the
mutative force (raja
guna) in the operative state is the power of movement (energy)
in the universe. Without the
raja guna there
would be no movement in the universe. <9>The
static
force (tama guna)
in the operative state crudifies the consciousness and creates the
five elements in the universe. They are: ethereal, aerial, luminous
(heat), liquid, and solid factors. Also it is responsible for
memory.
