The basics

A logical starting point in our project begins by defining some basic geometric shapes which have precise metaphysical meaning and appear in diagrams with greater complexity later on. Keep in mind that some of the images i'll be posting are adaptations.

Each modality of a state of being is represented by a point alone. However each modality can undergo a series of secondary modifications according to the cycles of manifestation. For example, in the corporeal modality, humans undergo a series of changes in time some more subtle than others. Thus, each point now can be represented  as a straight line with indefinite extent.   This is what Guenon calls "simple indefinitude".



Each point in the line now represents the series of modifications a particular modality undergoes.  

Double infinitude is represented as a horizontal plane and represents a degree of universal existence

                                                 


To represent "triple infinitude", we use a 3D expanse. This represents a man who has realized the totality of possibilities of states of manifestation.
