Be-ness

A term coin«'il hy Theoso|)hsts to render more accurately the efwential nieaninp of the untranslatable word Sat. The latter word doe.s not mean "Bein<:", for it presupposes a sentient feeling or some cons<'iousiu'ss of existence. But. as the term Sat is applied solely to the absolute Principle, the universal, unknown, and ever unknowable Presence, which philosophical Pantheism postulates in Kosmos, calling it the basic root of Kosmos, and Kosmos itself — "Being" was no fit word to express it. Indeed, the latter is not even, as translated by some Orientalists, "the ineompresensible Entity"; for it is no more an Entity than a non-Entity, but both. It is, as said, ab.solute Be-ncss, not Being, the one secondless. undivided, and indivisible All — the root of all Nature visible and invisible, objective and subjective, to be sen.sed by the highest spiritual intuition. l)ut never to be fully comprehended. Ben Shamesh (Il<b.). The children or the "Sons of the Sun". The term belongs to the period when the Jews were divided into sun and moon worshii»p»'rs — Elites and Belites. (Sec "Bela-Shemesh".)
