Where there is being there is the power of motion.
But not just any motion – causally ordered movement - the causal interplay of forces - and where there is such movement, there is contraction and expansion.
The power to expand and contract = Mind contractively Matter(ing), and Matter expansively Mind(ing)!
All is expansion and contraction.
All is feuering and eising!
Are we Hegelians? Kinda, sorta!
For the National Progressive Gnostic, everything is ultimately Ideas/Concepts that are materially/energetically coded/imprisoned. And this world is the dialectical WORKING OUT of those Ideas in time via History by the dynamic interaction of Demiurgic and Sophianic wills operative in the world.
Thus, for the National Progressive Gnostic, this world is both the butcher house and the playground of the dialectical working out of Ideas in order to achieve a nigh absolute, quasi-Hegelian synthesis - a perfectly rational and just state of affairs within a unity-in-robust-diversity, i.e., A Pleroma in the Kenoma!
