The creation argument, as we are beginning to unfold it, is strikingly similar to the Hermetic creation myth. First of all, I think that 3 has a spiritual aspect to it instead of being simply the whole of creation. The logic used in expressions with it is a transcendental logic rather than a rational one. For example, we had in a previous msg. m-m-3-m-m which seems to contradict this 3-m-2im-m-3 if looked at in a rational way, as well as the fifth line of the creation argument in which 3's integrity is not diminished by contributing to the synthesis of something else. So I think we can safely call 3 'God', the nature of which is still mostly unknown - it could be anything from an anthropomorphized being like those of the Greeks to a mystical, ineffable beyond-concept like that of the Tao. It seems to lean towards the latter. Back to the similarities to Hermeticism: the Hermetic creation myth begins with God breathing or uttering a word. This word/breath along with God created the physical manifestation of the universe, which in its primordial stages was permeated with moisture. In any case, that seems to be what is going on in the first five lines. I am having trouble with the 6th, though, especially -*-. Is this God at the speed of light? Is this a relativistic picture of creation? Is -*- the union of spacetime in the speed of light? And finally GxG - "and then there was radiant energy (i.e. light)" My only thought on 9 is that it could've been a hive or something, but that didn't seem to jive. Some kind of crystal structure? I don't know.
