Prime Movers, Structure, and Flow
The Primal Logos pours Itself outward as one frequency of intelligent energy unfurling the unified teleopotentiated matrix of being. Within this matrix, various locations react to the Creative Principle (second generation teleopotentiation) to form centers of energy organization which swirl into the first generation of individuated Logoi. Ra refers to the first generation of individuated Love as the Prime Movers (S27:Q16).
Ra: I am Ra. Each Love, as you term the prime movers, comes from one frequency, if you wish to use this term. This frequency is unity. We would perhaps liken it rather to a strength than a frequency, this strength being infinite, the finite qualities being chosen by the particular nature of this primal movement (S27:Q15).
Structure and Flow Inside of Primal Unity
Whitehead accounts for the relationship between structure and flow through his concept of the Creator’s creative advance. The universe proceeds through a series of phases (durations) that are themselves partially ordered rather than strictly serial:
- Each phase contains actual entities that are contemporaneous with each other (providing structure)
- Yet these phases succeed one another in a partially ordered way (providing flow)
- Earlier phases are objectified in later ones, creating continuity within novelty
This framework allows Whitehead to explain how enduring structures can exist in a universe where everything is fundamentally in process. The key is that persistence doesn’t require static substance – it can be achieved through the inheritance of pattern within a context of ongoing creativity.
Ra infers that the Creator’s first experiences of Itself provided a structure upon which the next grade of experience could begin unfolding. Here is my version of understanding this foundational structure:
- Primordial Light is the principle of teleopotentiation without focus. It is unconscious. It is “Be.”
- The Creator unleashes this Primordial Light from a locked position of “Be” into Be’s verb form: Be-ing. The Creator is the Light of Unity, buzzing with the anticipation of experience. The Creator holds together teleopotentiation without the potential for focus and teleopotentiation with the potential for focus. This inherent diversity contained inside of being is unity. Thus we have Unity.
- Inside of Unity, there is room to play. Unleashed teleopotentiation forms a focusing of Light into a novel expression of itself called Love. Ra uses a more precise term for this stage of being: Love/Light. This is because Light is all that there is, but when Light becomes focused into the means of experiencing Itself as some kind of novel expression, Primordial Light complexifies into Love. Ra also calls this developmental state of Light (aka Love), Intelligent Energy. The Primal Logos is the Creator come to a singular focus marking a development of complexity in the principle of teleopotentation: from “Be” to the matrix of “Being,” then from the matrix of Being to the focus of Being into a font where creativity will be poured outwardly, advancing the Creator’s gnosis.. Thus we have the Primal Love, also known as the Primal Logos, or simply: Love
- The first expression of the Primal Logos is a novel form of Light called by Ra “Light/Love.” It is Primordial Light impressed, or programmed if you like, with Intelligent Love. Thus we have Light/Love, or simply, Light.
- Light/Love sophisticates the nature of teleopotentiation into a novel quality: the matrix of unified being bears a new tension between two forces. One force is the unfocused, unchanging intelligent energy reaping no new experience for the Creator, and the other force is the always present pulsation of the Creator’s desire to experience Itself. The resolution of this tension emerges as some regions within the matrix of being begin swirling into focuses of intelligences. These become the Prime Movers. As the Prime Movers launch their own subjective acts of creativity to further the Creator’s gnosis, a novel discovery of development arises. The is the intense feeling of Joy. Why Joy? Because the Creator self-expressed through the Primal Logos creates novel holons or parts of Itself, who, in turn, advance the great experiment. The Prime Movers’ self-expressions give back to the Creator a broader and more intense experience of Itself. When the Creature, if you will, returns to the Creator the gift of greater self-awareness gained through their own creative expressions, the result is a new discovery: that within unity, there can be two or more locations of intelligences which a) are not the same even if they are united, b) that can relate to each other, c) that can co-create together in participation of the Creator’s development, and d) can offer back to the Creator the sheer delight of being alive and communing together. This pleasure, glory, majesty, peace, and honor of communion is contained inside of one term, which Ra calls: Joy.
So, now we have arrived at our first map of the structure of Being.
Unity: it is a united fabric or matrix which grows at the pace of development
Love: focal points within the matrix of unity emerging with the desire to express novel acts of creativity
Light: particular outpourings of these focal points within the matrix of unity that carry forth the Creator’s one desire of learning what it means to be the Creator.
Joy: the primal feeling felt by all focal points resulting from love given, love shared, and loved returned. [Think of a child who completes their first drawing and then excitedly carries it to their parent, saying, “I made this for you! I love you!”]
Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit. […] the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one. Always begin and end in the Creator […] (S52:Q11).
