Night: Unconscious I.
Night: Unconscious I.
The unconscious I encompasses everything that appears in the world and everything that consciousness is able to know.
Genesis 1:5
Night is a name. God names the darkness Night after separating the light from the darkness.
The order is of fundamental importance. God created heaven and earth: the laws that appear in the material world.
There are relationships between the laws: depth, which also appears in the material world, because the laws manifested in material form also affect one another. Although depth is present in the world, it cannot be discovered in heaven. Knowledge of the laws alone is not sufficient for understanding depth.
The Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the depth; that is, in the perceptible world, the Spirit of God is able to perceive the material manifestations — the surface.
God defines the light, which means the relationships between the laws: intellect. Intellect is not a definition and not a law, but the network of relationships between the laws, which cannot be defined in the same way as the laws themselves, but appears in the material world through the manifestation of the laws.
It is in the material world that intellect — light — becomes perceptible, whereas it cannot be perceived through knowledge of the laws alone.
What appears becomes light through the fact that consciousness perceives it, understands it, and comes to know it. However, intellect is present in the world even when consciousness is not present, when no one is observing the world.
Without consciousness, intellect is present as depth, and without the identification of consciousness, the unconscious I is present within the depth. Therefore, it is not the opposite of the conscious I, but everything that the conscious I is able to know.
Night, the unconscious I, encompasses everything that appears in the world and can be known by consciousness.
