Pleroma is overflowing with Fullness that consciousness cannot comprehend.
If the process of the spirit's fall created the material world, then the process of the spirit’s recovery will lead us beyond the material world, returning us to our original home. Of course, this is not an easy task. But it is one we must accomplish.
However, it is not humanity that fell, but the spirit itself that left its homeland and descended to the place where humanity resides. The spirit has entered into a very crude and coarse structure. If this fact is not understood, all teachings will become a mess, blending into one chaotic mass like a lump of dough. Distinguishing between the states of the spirit and humanity is crucial, as it determines the direction of our journey toward enlightenment.
The journey of the soul, departing from where it was born and returning to where it originally belonged, is a mysterious process. We will continue to witness this mystery as we take each step along the way. To achieve this, you must recognize the beauty, goodness, and truth that lie beyond yourself.
There are various explanations regarding the fall of the spirit. Some say it entered the human body out of curiosity, while others refer to Sumerian myths, suggesting that gods such as the Anunnaki and other deities created humans through genetic manipulation to serve as slaves. There is also the account from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible.
However, the most important fact is that the spirit has entered a place it does not belong. All mythologies equate humanity and the spirit. This is the root of all misunderstandings. The spirit is not humanity. Humanity can contain the spirit, but not all humans house the spirit. God can create humanity, but God cannot create the spirit.
The spirit, which is more precious than anything else, is not created by consciousness. What is true cannot be created by consciousness. What is real always exists beyond consciousness. Everything created by consciousness is an illusion and falsehood.
The spirit (which cannot exist within the material world and originates from the Pleroma, or the Absolute Realm) always longs for its own world. Whether you are aware of it or not, it constantly yearns for its home.
The true spirit, the authentic existence, is not the same as the concept of "Adam Kadmon" in the Kabbalistic system. Adam Kadmon is closer to an archetypal human system, a blueprint, or an image of the complete human being from earlier generations. It is the portfolio presented by the creators. The Sephirot appears to represent a process of ascension to a divine realm, but it is not. Rather than being a system of ascension, it is fundamentally a system of spirituality for realists—one aimed at bringing the energy above into the realm below. It is no surprise that Kabbalah exists within the framework of the Judaic system.
Our journey to the Pleroma lies in leaving the material world.
The reason is simple: this is not the place we originally belonged to, and thus, we must leave it. We are returning to a place filled with love, beauty, and goodness. However, even if we wish to leave, it is not something we can do easily. We must leave behind our desires, the world’s surveillance, and the cosmic prison surrounding us. For most people, even leaving their own desires is an overwhelming task. This is why teachings that compromise with life ultimately emerge. Of course, it is important and beautiful to live life in its awakened state after awakening, but if this is presented as if it were the whole point or the goal is to return to the world as it is, then you have not truly awakened.
For those who wish to awaken or practice, it is crucial to carefully examine the orientation of the teachings they choose, regardless of how they may appear on the surface. Ultimately, that orientation will be both the starting point and the endpoint. No matter how spiritual or impressive the intermediate process appears, you must be able to discern the true orientation. This will save you from wandering down an incompatible path.
We strive for the Pleroma. We seek to move toward the eternal, the absolute world that is full and true. To be precise, we wish to return. And we desire for the spirit to restore itself. A true teaching guides the way to restoration. The path may appear new, but in the end, we will arrive at where we originally existed. You will return to your original state.
Above all, before starting anything, you must let go of the illusion that all people are the same, and the folly of thinking that all teachings of awakening lead to the same place. This is the first gateway to accepting our teachings.
What is visible on the surface neither signifies nor contains everything. Things that look alike are not necessarily the same.
The human body and consciousness were formed within the material world.
Every person has a soul.
However, not everyone possesses a spirit.
Although this will undeniably evoke resistance, it is essential to accept this fact.
If you can accept this truth, much will become clearer—be it about the ongoing New Age movements, eschatological worldviews, or the differences among religions.
Why don’t we ask ourselves, “Why don’t we have ‘The Woman in the Red Dress’ from The Matrix in this world?”
Why don’t we question what our true state really is?
Even now, you must attempt to recognize the reality about yourself and your universe, no matter how difficult the truth may be.
To elaborate further on the Pleroma, it is not a domain of dimensions but a domain of truth. If it were a domain of dimensions, we would be able to consciously experience and recognize it—perhaps even create it. But unfortunately—or fortunately—that is not the case. If Pleroma existed within the realm of consciousness, it would not be the truth.
Consciousness, over the span of long ages, will eventually fade away. This is because it is not part of the true world but rather a fragment of divine consciousness imitating the true world. We are but small pieces of divine consciousness.
The absolute world that consciousness cannot know is the Pleroma.
And the Pleroma is overflowing with Fullness that consciousness cannot comprehend. In it, nothing is one, and yet, everything is complete in its individuality and fullness at the same time. Space and time do not exist there, nor does the concept of being.
It is the truth of all truths, the beauty of all beauties, and the goodness of all goodness.
The spirit that originates from the Pleroma inevitably recognizes the Pleroma.
While it may seem similar to the world of Ideas (the realm of Platonic Ideals), they are entirely different. If the world of Ideas is the archetype of ideal concepts, the Pleroma is the actual world beyond all illusory universes. But if we are unconscious of its existence, how can we come to know it?
The Pleroma is something consciousness cannot perceive.
Only the mystic can realize it.
Before this realization, we must work through all human desires, the concept of self, and consciousness itself.
