"When the father who had engendered it [the universe] saw it in motion and alive, a shrine
brought into being for the everlasting gods, he rejoiced and, being well pleased, he conceived the idea
of making it more like its model. Accordingly, as that model is the ever-existent Living Being, he set
about making the universe also like it, as far as possible, in that respect. Now the nature of that living
Being was eternal, a character with which it was impossible fully to endow a generated thing. But he
planned as it were a moving likeness of eternity; and, at the same time that he set in order the Heaven,
he made, of eternity that abides in unity, an ever-flowing likeness moving according to number - that
to which we have given the name Time."
The idea that the universe is in the process of becoming increasingly real is also repeated in
"The Unfinished Universe", and one of the key implications of this metaconcept is referred to by
Omar Khayyam in the "Rubaiyat" :
"With Earth's first clay they did the last man knead,
And then of the last harvest sow'd the seed;
Yea, the first morning of creation wrote
What the last dawn of reckoning shall read."
Which is referred to in Kabbalah by the statement that Kether contains the whole potential of
manifestation within it. That is to say, due to the holographic nature of the universe, the pattern exists
as a fundamental, implicit structure, at all levels, and is therefore immanent. Carl Sagan uses this
philosophy wonderfully in his fiction "Contact", where the heroine finds, by using a computer to
arrange the infinite regressions of the number Pi in base 11 arithmetic, "a miracle - another circle,
drawn kilometres downstream of the decimal point" (See diagram 6). He calls it the "Artist's
Signature", and again we return to the idea of the recursive Universe, where the ripples of the thought
of God form patterns always showing the way home.
