The inner light shines through the mind, projecting itself into an outside world, like light through a diamond projects the many colors of the light. The five senses break it into five, like the diamond breaks the light into the five primary colors (the three including white and black.) So the inner world is pure and unsplit by senses.
Each desire a human has is desired by a particular sense: taste desires delicious food, sight desires things visually beautiful, etc. So if, in the inner world, reality is not filtered by these five senses, a desire can only be made for an object that can only be percieved by all the senses as one. And if it can be said that all things are one thing, we can come to the conclusion that the one being can only desire itself. This would explain how something came from nothing.
This one nonentity, which is nothingness, must've had a desire for itself, or a will to find itself. Then, it finds nothing but that very will. Then the will, in realizing it does not exist, tries to go back to the nothingness because it realizes that is its true form, but it cannot, because when it goes inwards it does it out of desire, so that desire is still manifest, so it cannot unexist. So this has broken into two: the will seeking itself, and the original self (or nonself.) The seeking self breaks into infinite parts: likely anguish that it may never return, and hope that it will at some point, etc. It isn't difficult to see how these seperations can stem into infinity.
The human mind may have been formed when the anger of the seeking self reached a high point and then cooled off into love or bliss, much in the way a diamond is formed. We percieve the world through the human mind (the five-sensed filter.) There is no outer and inner world. There is only one world. It exists only in a pure form, a single entity, that consists as a combination of all senses. We see something we believe is true reality, though we are perceiving it through a filter. Nothing is truly removed by the filter, but broken into five parts.
Perhaps there are objects that consist of the properties of two or more senses, like an object that is both a sound and an image. Now through the human filter that would be impossible to percieve. (Do not misunderstand the image of a tapping foot and the tapping sound to be the same object, they are two seperate objects. You cannot say the foot makes the sound, because without the floor there would be no sound, and it is just as likely that the sound makes the foot and the floor.) This would explain such things as angels, who may be objects that are a combination of all senses, and could not possibly be seen through the filter.
More to come..
