What is SANCTUM?

 

 

The term SANCTUM, usually translated as ‘holy’ means: the state of wholeness as such, to wit, the suchness of fullness, the state of being fulfilled, complete, certain; therefore perfect, i.e. (process or series) done, ended, stopped, halted, in short, the quantum state; or not yet undone or begun; good (meaning fully functional); true, meaning @100% (i.e. total, i.e. @1 or as 1) and so on.

 

SANCTUM, i.e. ‘holy’ (whole, complete) is a formless, timeless state and not a particular quality, object, place or person (read: an identified domain).

 

The popular (and misleading) conception of a ‘sanctum’ (found in the New Oxford Dictionary) is that of ‘a sacred (i.e. holy) place, especially a shrine within a temple or church’; ‘a private place from which most people are excluded’. What the NOD tries to describe so ineptly is actually the notion of sanctuary, i.e. a particular (hence relative) enclosure (hence slice, cut) of SANCTUM, i.e. a limited, hence defined wholeness (or holiness), i.e. a bit that’s holy (because presenting as an identifiable unit (hence order of 1).

 

Sanctum happens in the midst of, or as the ground of a (i.e. any one of n) sanctuary. It happens if and when the experience of sanctuary, i.e. of a particular wholeness (or holiness) extinguishes leaving only the blissful awareness of universal (i.e. fully distributed) wholeness (similar to experiencing love (or any other feeling) without an object).
