The ALL

Principle of the ALL


Considered by some the true godhead and purveyor of the Tao and the Great Spirit, the incomprehensible ALL is at least conceivable to a degree. Everything, everywhere, at all times, including both objective and subjective makes up the ALL.

Every deity and star and all the pebbles and grains of sand and drops of water in the universe, plus every living thing and all the thoughts and feelings the sum of these creatures produce are part of the ALL. All the dimensions outside of our three-dimensional spacetime, every alternate timeline and all the potential answers to every math problem every put forth or that will be put forth also exist within the ALL.

Nothing is outside of it, except perhaps anything that simply cannot exist, which by that nature also would not be conceived in any mind anywhere. This is a bit of another story but suffice it to say everything is contained within or is part of the ALL.

While this may be of no practical value it is of philosophical and conceptual, meditative value at certain points in magical training or mystical practice. It is presumed in most magical philosophies that, being part of the ALL you also contain or reflect the ALL within your makeup.

All Mind

A popular maxim says “The All is mind” and is expressed sometimes as the All mind. This is a consciousness-centric take on the ALL, playing off of Einstein’s statement that the total number of minds in the universe is one.

The All Mind can be considered a synonym for the ALL or merely the aware, mental aspect of totality. I often write of it adjacent to the Great Spirit to indicate two aspects of the divine and indeed of reality through which me might discuss such things as the mental plane, the fifth element, and so forth with the benefit of a foundational or fulcrumatic device.
