Background
A description of the experience
Max Heindel
Space is Spirit in its attenuated form; while matter is crystallized Space or Spirit. Spirit in manifestation is dual, that which we see as Form is the negative manifestation of Spirit--crystallized and inert.
The positive pole of Spirit manifests as Life, galvanizing the negative Form into action, but both Life and Form originated in Space and Chaos!
On the other hand, Chaos is not a state which has existed in the past and has now entirely disappeared. It is all around us at the present moment. Were it not that old forms--having outlived their usefulness--are constantly being resolved back into that Chaos, which is also as constantly giving birth to new forms, there could be no progress; the work of evolution would cease and stagnation would prevent the possibility of advancement.
