Here's part of a brainwave I rode in on late last nite. This is an exercise in Buddhist/Qabalist negation with the objective being to move ones awareness through stages of
metacognition. Doing this is said to aid in revealing how one's mind processes the
subjective and
objective components of awareness.

Lurianic Kabbalah contains a cosmological teaching called Tzim Tzum or expansion and contraction. This concept is an expression of how we perceive the 'mind' of god in the act of creation. It unfolds like this: the circumference of the infinitely large, the whole, contracts in on itself until it reaches what can be considered the monad or the infinitely small. Simultaneously, the infinitely small, the point or monad, is expanding out to the infinitely large. During the expansion / contraction phase, the moment when the point and the circle intersect is represented by the feminine nimbus or vesica piscis. At this moment the original idea is conceived of within the mind of man and within the mind of god the universe is created.
