HOLY MONAD
DD 0l HOLY MONAD, HOLY MONADIC SELF (ET 192)
The Self in its Real Identity. A Holy Monad might be thought of as one of countless myriads of "cells" within the Multiplicity of Absolute Beingness.
DD 10 HOLY MONADS (FR 300)The component parts of the Absolute. Each Holy Monad emanates myriads of rays that pass through different archetypes and acquire shape and phenomenal existence. When one such irradiation, a Pneuma, passes through the Human Idea, a soul is created. Human beings who belong to the same Holy Monad have a particular affinity for one another.
ET 34
A human being is both Logoic and Holy Spiritual and even something beyond these appellations. It is a Holy Monad within Absolute Beingness and there has never existed any period in which it was not. The Holy Monad is of the eternal
Nature and Condition of Absolute Beingness. This fact, however, is fully comprehensible only after Theosis, when a human being's centres for receiving impressions are no longer within the worlds of the phenomenon of life.ET 40
As a Holy Monad, the Self as a Spirit-Ego-Being, humanity differs little from the Archangels. It is the Archangelic Man. It projects itself, however, through the Human Idea and from that moment takes on its own separate radiance within Absolute Beingness. It enters into a separate domain of Total Wisdom, Total Power and Total Love as a Self-aware
Soul.ET 40
Our (human) Holy Monadic Self takes on a rather separate existence from that of the Archangels, when they too have passed through an Idea - -of Archangelic Orders-- which is Theirs to express.
ET 40
The Holy Monad (going through the Human Idea) takes on form -- even though in reality what takes on form is not the Holy Monad itself, which remains unchanged, but its projection--.
This projection is what we call our permanent personality and is our personality's Ego.ET 50
Humanity passes through the Archangelic Idea, which is a matrix containing the Human Idea. This matrix is a creation of Absolute Beingness, through which the Holy Monadic Beings can pass, in order to become, from that instance, Self aware Souls. Our Self as a Spirit-Ego-Being before it passed through the Human Idea, was Self-aware Life. It was not, however, Self-awareness in space-place-time, which is something desirable to the Spirit. It was within the All, and although it was a Holy Monad, it could not comprehend itself as something separate within Absolute Beingness. From the moment that it passes through the Human Idea it gains Soul Self-awareness.
ET 51We see Self-awareness at different stages. We see it as subconscious self-awareness, as conscious self-awareness and as super-conscious Self-awareness.
ET 51
A Spirit-Ego-Being within Absolute Beingness, that is to say before Its emanation, lives in Absolute Blessedness. But Holy Monadic Beings have to pass through the Human Idea in order to incarnate, to know the phenomenon of life, to become an individual Being so as to return to Absolute Beingness, in order to create the condition where 'All is in all" (1 Cor. 15:26). This is the privilege solely of those Holy Monadic Beings who pass through the Human Idea and no others, not even the Archangels, can reach this type of Self-Realization within individuation. This is why it is essential for the Holy Monadic Beings to know the phenomenon
of life in the worlds of space-place-time.ET 51
Our Holy Monadic Self, as a whole, does not enter into the Human Idea, nor will it incarnate. Its ray, nevertheless, which descends into the worlds of experience is qualitatively the same as the eternal Holy Monadic Spirit-Ego-Being.
ET 55
The Holy Monads live with the Majesty of the Highest, at every moment, being "within the Joy of the Lord". Earthly joy is nothing in comparison with Divine Blessedness, which no human words can express.
ET 59
Thus, as Holy Monads, both Human Beings and the Archangels as well as every other Being, are within Absolute Beingness.
ET 69
Absolute Beingness is total Self-sufficiency with Multiplicity as an aspect of Its Nature whose Will it is to express the Holy Monads in Creation.
Similarly each Holy Monad is both Self-sufficient and multiple. The Holy Monads, in order to express Themselves in the worlds, must themselves have the characteristics of Absolute Beingness. Among those characteristics the more easily comprehensible are Total Wisdom, Total Power and Total Love.
ET 104Does the Heavenly Man affect our Holy Monadic Self? Not at all! As concerns our Holy Monadic Self, there is no question of effect or requirement, but simply free will and choice. We would say that our Holy Monadic Self can choose to be able to extend its own radiations, not only through the Human Idea, but also through other Archangelic Ideas and into other universes. This is because the Microcosm is part of the Macrocosm. Were it not so, we would not be able to liken ourselves with the Christ Logos (2 Cor.3:18).
FH 95
It is fruitless to attempt to comprehend through the formation of noetic images or through meditation what our inner selves as Holy Monads are really like.
FH 240
As a Holy Monad, we are one with the Absolute.
MS 142
Individuals who are emanations of the same Holy Monad have a particular affinity for each other.
