THE MANIFESTATION
In the Gospel according to John, it is specifically cited in chapter
14, “In Father’s house are many rooms.” Here we observe the
Absolute before its manifestation, with its evolutionary spiral
toward light or involution toward darkness. Each ring of this spiral
refers to one of the rooms, as John describes the house of the
Father. In its state of non-manifestation there is neither evolution
nor involution; it must necessarily incarnate (making a simile, we
could say it presents itself on the battlefield) to gain or lose that
light to which the spirit aspires.

The entire universe is the manifestation of the Absolute; in the
diagrams we see the point at the center indicating this
materialization, and in the other diagram the spiral that indicates
the path: spirit to matter and matter to spirit.
In these three preceding diagrams we see Adam Kadmon, the
primordial manifested being, in a material body and an immortal
soul or immortal part. The very act of its manifestation entails a
part of the light-spirit and an equivalent part of the darkness-spirit;
in the avatars, its burden is much higher, since its struggle is more
significant.
Here the result of this struggle between light and darkness is
described: if the spirit, when it returns to the Absolute, has gained
light relative to what it carried when it incarnated, this light
increases in the Absolute; and vice versa, if it has lost darkness,
this is increased in the Absolute. Many times, as we will see later,
the soul needs several dwellings or reincarnations to complete the
task and thus be able to return to the Absolute.
