performs "transpersonal" acts not only for the whole but as the whole. A Pleroma being is
humanity acting through an individualized mode of response to a human and planetary
need particularized by a definite time and place. Deeper still, he or she is Wholeness-inact.
The Pleroma is a planetary reality. It can be considered the "illumined Mind" of the
earth, while present-day mankind constitutes the planet's concrete mind — a concrete
mind born out of the complex relationships human beings live through in the biosphere
and to which they give meaning in terms of their various cultures. In this sense, we can
assume that some kind of human beings exist on any planet able to give birth to and
sustain highly developed forms of life; that these beings are "human" in the sense that they
have developed some kind of mind able to give meaning to the activities taking place in
the life-field of their planet; and that toward the close of the planet's cycle of objective
being, a Pleroma emerges out of such a "humanity." It emerges into an increasingly
subjective and inclusive state of consciousness and one-ward activity. In that state, it finds
itself related to the Pleromas of other planets, be they in our solar system or in other
systems within the Milky Way or any other galaxy.
Astronomers now speak of groups of galaxies and metagalaxies, but the
preconceptions and empirical limitations of modern science compel them to deal only with
the level of the cosmos to which our senses and instruments can react; these reactions are
then interpreted intellectually according to the rationalistic postulates of logic and
mathematics. The picture I am presenting is also an interpretation; but it is based on a
different kind of consistency and logic. It postulates a relationship between the subjective
and spiritual aspects of galaxies, and the possibility of cosmic Pleromas. These cosmic
Pleromas represent states of predominantly subjective being close to the condition of
nearly absolute unity I have defined as the Godhead state — a state of nearly pure
consciousness and utterly simplified and condensed subjective being.
After Sunset the Movement of Wholeness proceeds from the planetary to the
interplanetary, galactic, and cosmic Pleroma states of increasing unification, simplification,
and concentration. This process polarizes the period during which a series of ever more
complex and objective cosmic, stellar, planetary, and biological forms of existence were
produced after the symbolic Sunrise. Thus, during these two quarters of the cycle of being
(Sunrise-to-Noon and Sunset-to-Midnight), the Movement of Wholeness proceeds in
opposite but complementary directions. One of these directions leads to Natural Man (at
Noon), the other to the Godhead state (at Midnight).
