And that's about it. The Monad isn't very complicated because there isn't very much to it. There isn't much a single sphere can illustrate when a single sphere is all there is.
So here is what I want you to imagine. A young apprentice to the Pearlcaster's began his training, and his master held up a single pearl and then went into that whole spiel that you saw dramatized in the video with the green blob that swallowed the show's host.
That's the first part and if we are all up to speed I'd like to continue from there. Now the only problem is I haven't made the next video in the series. They take a bit of time as you can imagine, so I'm going to just describe things as best I can.
So I have this first pearl here, floating in emptiness, right, the Monad. You are that pearl, that sphere of matter surrounded by nothingness.
Now, let's consider the Dyad. Another sphere enters the perceptual field of the blob that has covered the first sphere. Let's assume that the blob is blind, and that it perceives primarily through touch and by sensing vibrations traveling through the ground. So the first sphere will become aware of the second's existence only when the two make physical contact.
There are two basic types of contact, which I shall now demonstrate with these two pearls. There is impact, where I rap the two pearls together with an audible click, and there is the rolling of one pearl along the surface of the other.
These two forms of contact are the manifestation of the Dyad. We will go through these two forms of contact in detail. First, Impact.
One pearl smacks into the other, or the two pearls smack into each other. When dealing with only two items in an infinite emptiness it becomes impossible to say whether one sphere is at rest and the other hits it at a high rate of speed, or if the two spheres are traveling towards each other, or even if both spheres are traveling in the same direction but the one trailing the first is traveling faster than the second and they make contact in that manner.
What can be said without qualification is that the two pearls meet and make contact. CLACK!
Instead of two pearls imagine we have one pearl and a patch of your skin, say, on your arm. A single pearl hits it at a decent velocity. Not enough to hurt, but you do feel it. And then another pearl hits the same spot at the same velocity. And again and again, one after the other. What begins to happen? Yes, your arm gets more sensitive, but more important than that, the patch of skin where the impacts occur grows perceptively warmer. The impacts are transmitting the energy contained within the relative motions of the pearl and the patch of skin into heat.
Instead of a pearl, let's take a particle of zero mass, but let's increase its speed to 186,000 miles per second. A stream of these particles making contact with the skin will also create the sensation of warmth. These particles are called photons and they are what light is made of.
While we are talking about countless numbers of particles, what concern us are the individual moments of impact, which are when the Dyad becomes manifest.
Let's now turn to the second form of contact. This is demonstrated by one pearl rolling along the surface of the other or perhaps both pearls are in contact and are rolling in opposite directions. Once again, when dealing with only two items in an infinite emptiness it becomes impossible to say whether one sphere is at rest and the other is rolling upon it, or if the second sphere is at rest and the first is rolling upon it, or if both spheres are rolling in opposite directions.
Alright, now let's make one of those pearls a ball of matter and let's say the other is a ball of light. As the ball of light rolls around the pearl, local regions on the pearl's surface experience alternating times of light and darkness.
And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
This two sphere system is the Dyad. Its trigram is Fire.
Before we had the trigram for Earth:
Three broken lines.
The central line has two states, solid or broken. I explained that when it was solid, it had the quality symbolized by the planet Jupiter, and that when it was broken it had the quality of Earth.
In this instance we are dealing with the trigram of Fire:
The top line is the ruling line for Fire. A solid line indicates the trigram has the quality symbolized by the astrological planet, the Sun, while a broken line indicates that the Moon's power holds sway.
In my next post, I'll examine the astrological aspects of the Dyad as well the planetary conditions during this stage in the Monadic Progression.
