Eugene starts with a diagram to represent involution. (This is a large V standing in a square.) The square represents us, in the material world. As the Absolute Spirit (Apeiron) descends, it gets progressively more dense. (The ‘den’ in dense means judgement, and spirit, as it descends, increases the number of judgements we make inside ourselves.) Above the V is Infinite: ‘Apeiron’. Its first definition is the circle of the macrocosmos. Inside this it posits smaller circles, some of which are us. The Hebrew word ‘Torah’ is the same as the Sanskrit ‘Dharma’. Both mean ‘The Law’
The ideational world is full of form and all the forms are reciprocally interpenetrating. (He draws a hexagon to illustrate.) Man is a microcosm of the Universe and his mind also is full of interpenetrating ideas, continuously interfering with each other. (When we try to define an idea we can only do so by using words; which belong to other ideas.) These forms in the mind are felt; we make value-judgements of liking/disliking; in yoga (bahoga).
(He draws the diagram again and this time puts a circle at the top of the right-arm of the V to represent ‘ideation’ and a second circle lower down, to represent ‘bahoga’.) “Ideation, the energies of the ideas, are now looked upon by the Apeiron Itself…as sources of possible enjoyment.” When we like something we tend to move towards it and when we dislike something we tend to move away from it; we act on this basis. So he now adds a third circle, close to the base of the V to represent ‘activation’, the will to act on the basis of ‘like/dislike’. All of this right-arm of the V represents ‘involution’. The fourth stage of involution is the embodiment of the process, through ideation, feeling and will, into the material world.
