The Vessels of Separation and The Monadic Wonderland
When we are born from the dark womb, the void of silence veils the ever supernal all, until the light will breakthrough; and give vision to the eye. It is then that man becomes conscious in a vessel that he calls his own. Where man becomes separated into the land of forgetfulness. The great fall into the abyss down into the world of materiality. The question mark, of a spiral in infinite wonder.
And now the man is an “I” seeing through an “eye”.
An identity that cannot be forgotten. A world that has yet to be explored. A name that codes into a thread of symphony. A mind that wonders where it’s home is.
“It is however through intensity of sorrow that the suffering soul finds it’s way back to the source of it’s being, for we have all as prodigal sons left our father in heaven; we have wondered far from the realms of spirit, to feed upon the husks of matter. To gain experience and individuality.”
- Mysteries of the Great Operas by Max Heindel
And from this far land we have wandered, we are able to climb our way back up to gnosis. To an everlasting rest in the supernal unity of the great work. This is our divine mission.
Daa’t; Gnosis.

Daa’t is considered to be the “Doorway to God” and the ‘Crossing of the Abyss’ separating dualistic reality from non-dualistic reality (The Monadic Wonderland)
The Abyss is like that of a primordial fog of essences; that is a plethora of grasping for identification. Once crossed it enters into oneness and harmony.
“The Wonder Eye of Eternity”
Jakob Böhme - Diagrams showing Böhme’s Cosmogony or the Philosophical Sphere (Wonder Eye of Eternity) and Mystical Heart.
And as Böhme describes the eye; “The Wonder eye of Eternity; or The Eye of God. And this eye is ‘the eye of the essence of all essences’.
However when man meets the ‘Naked Eye’ of separated perception all memory of this harmonic place is lost. When the angel at birth touches the lips of the infant as the vow of silence.
And when this door to god is knocked, it shall be answered.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” - Matthew 7:7
The scheme of idealism is that; thoughts are the primal substance that make up fundamental reality. This wondrous philosophy can also be found through the mysterious Hermes Trismegistus and the Emerald Tablet; a cryptic hermetic text. Hermeticism stands well with the idea that there is a divine mind of God; and not only that but we are images inside of this mind.
Like the echoes of Geneis says;
“So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.”
- Genesis 1:27
In late antiquity, Hermeticism arose in parallel with early christianity, gnosticism, and neoplatonism.
During my deep contemplations as a young girl I had nothing but my own thoughts to ponder; which led me down a symphony of questions upon questions. I did not look to philosophy much for I preferred at the time to write in journals of my own questions. it wasn’t until later that I had found esotericism and walked down the path that I am on now.
Something I did write though was, ‘I don’t know if I will ever find the answers to my longing desires, but for some reason I feel one day I will know them’. And indeed, this has been so. For mysticism became that doorway to God and self discovery of my very being.
