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). Continue with What is a sanctuary? |
