same. What this means is that in the very moment that intent stirs the Void into be-coming creative, death of the old has come into being, and the subjective yields to the objective, unity yields to multiplicity. The result is the manifested universe, the death of unity, and therefore unmitigated darkness reigns until such time as the evolution of awareness comes into being. But the evolution of awareness cannot take place unless the polarities within manifestation are also separated, the result of which is that the feminine mind becomes separated from the masculine heart, the unknown becomes separated from the known, and ultimately the female is separated from the male. From the above it is clear to see that the initial act of separation within the Void must be reflected within manifestation in such a way that the objective, that is, the manifested universe, must not only become separated from the subjective, that is, the unmanifest, namely, the Void, but the polarities within it must also be separated before the evolution of awareness can come into being. What this means is that the unknown within manifestation must also become separated from the known within manifestation, meaning that not only is the splitting of the sexes inevitable, but so too is the separation of the tonal from the nagal. In other words, in the very moment that it becomes possible to achieve the evolution of awareness, in the very moment that the sixth world in the second stage of manifestation comes into being, the feminine tonal becomes separated from the masculine nagal by the birth of evolving awareness. This is the first real separation of the polarities that takes place, for up until this point separation does exist, but merely as a subjective potential rather than as an objective materialisation. And yet remember that evolving awareness is but the embodiment of the nagal's purpose, inclusiveness, and, as such, is also the expression of intent. Therefore the only reason why the tonal becomes separated from the nagal, is that, because true inclusiveness has now, with the advent of evolving awareness, become a reality, this act of separation can now take place without destruction, for the simple reason that the intent

of the Unspeakable is made manifest through evolving awareness. Thus separation can now be contained by the force of inclusiveness, and so, far from this act of separation being destructive, it becomes constructive through the medium of evolving awareness. In other words, because of the separation of the tonal from the nagal brought about by evolving awareness, intelligent co-operation between heart and mind, between male and female has now been made possible, and because of this, it now also becomes possible to materialise the purpose of the Unspeakable.
The implications within all of the above are vast, but in order to gain at least a working knowledge of the Mystery of Golgotha, which is but the mystery of perception and awareness, we must at least try to come to grips with the most important of these implications, namely, the esoteric meaning inherent within the concept that evolving awareness is the son of man, who is the son of the Unspeakable. From our previous studies of cosmology we learned that this must necessarily be so, because of the fact that the whole purpose of manifestation is the evolution of awareness, so that the unknown can be incorporated into the known, and it therefore stands to reason that all of life pivots around evolving awareness. Furthermore, since evolving awareness is the embodiment of the nagal's purpose, it is the son of the Unspeakable, but being within manifestation, it is also the son of man, man being the microcosm of the macrocosm. This, as we have already learned, is the Christ principle, the sixth world in the second stage of manifestation, namely, the Path with a Heart, evolving awareness, and a pure expression of intent, which is really unconditional love in action expressed through the heart. This is also why evolving awareness is
