Edit Reason: added another postulate
)
I think the primary postulates regarding the Law of One thesis has been covered in the first 3 posts of this thread. I'm sure there's still more to cover and clarify, so feel free to offer questions and comments.
I'll move on to what can be called secondary postulates of the Law of One which Ra asserts as:
1. the emergence of duality or bipolarity from an undifferentiated, deterministic and Absolute Unity. (or Absolute Infinity)
2. the emergence of the Primal Triad of Free Will, Love and Light from an undifferentiated, deterministic and Absolute Unity. (or Absolute Infinity)
3. the Original Impulse -- the Creator desires to know Itself
4. that the Universe is alive -- a panpsychism thesis
5. that the Universe is one Being -- a monism thesis that allows omni-consciousness and omni-presence -- the Ra group assert this as the ability to travel at the speed of thought, to go instantly to any locus of the universe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In regards to postulate #1 -- the emergence of duality or bipolarity -- I don't know of any explicit Ra statement of how how duality emerges from unity -- how is it the case that from undifferentiated Oneness comes differentiated Twoness?
I suggest the notions of projective identity and injective identity which also asserts self-reference and allows emergence from a static Existence Monism to a dynamic Dialectical Monism. The static stillness and silence of Oneness conceives of the notion of flow in its process of identity and self-reference -- therefore producing a dynamic within Itself that is dual or bipolar.
Here is the main excerpt from Ra providing the notions of outward and inward flow, rhythms and focuses (foci) and also potential and kinetic which seem to imply the emergence of duality or bipolarity. There is no mention of identity which is supposedly all there is -- as Ra says "there is only identity".
session 27
In this excerpt is Ra's notion of intelligent infinity and intelligent energy as an apparent potential and kinetic. Somewhere in the transcripts Ra states or implies "intelligent infinity as unity" which begs the question of why not also the complementary notion of "intelligent unity as infinity"?
Ra offers a nondescript answer to this question in session 18
Here Ra describes an infinite and intelligent unity. And so combine that with the complementary notion of unified and intelligent infinity to get the IUP/AOP.
A convenient metamath formula is U : I --> I* where Primal Infinity becomes aware or Intelligent Infinity through the focus and formulation of Primal Unity.
The complementary formula is I : U --> U* where Primal Unity becomes aware or Intelligent Unity through the breadth and dynamism of Primal Infinity.
As usual the theoretical formula is IUP = IU + UI where IU refers to U : I --> I* and
UI refers to I : U --> U*.
As also usual, the AOP = AO + OA is equivalent to the IUP, and so a metamath version
using All and One is possible in that AO refers to O : A --> A* and OA refers to A : O ---> O*.
So we could think in terms of Intelligent Allness and Intelligent Oneness if we'd like. They have a certain panache about them which can be used for contemplation and meditation.
So to sum up -- the emergence of duality or bipolarity in the LOO is suggested by Ra without the use of identity and self-reference, while the IUP/AOP makes use of identity and self-reference. The notions of potential and kinetic seem to be derived from identity and self-reference and need further development within the IUP/AOP.
The next post will be on postulates #2 and #3 which is a large subject involving the Primal Triad and a panentheistic Creator.

session 27
Quote:Ra: Intelligent infinity has a rhythm or flow...the presence of the flow inevitable as a tide of beingness without polarity, without finity; the vast and silent all beating outward, outward, focusing outward and inward until the focuses are complete.
The intelligence or consciousness of foci have reached a state where their, shall we say, spiritual nature or mass calls them inward, inward, inward until all is coalesced. This is the rhythm of reality as you spoke.
Don: Then I think I have extracted an important point from this in that in intelligent infinity we have work without polarity, or a potential difference does not have to exist. Is this correct?
Ra: There is no difference, potential or kinetic, in unity. The basic rhythms of intelligent infinity are totally without distortion of any kind. The rhythms are clothed in mystery, for they are being itself. From this undistorted unity, however, appears a potential in relation to intelligent energy.

Quote:It is not our intent in this particular project to create erroneous information, but to express in this confining ambiance of your language system the feeling of the Infinite Mystery of the One Creation in its infinite and intelligent unity.
