"Eternal Recurrence" --- while held by a number of thinkers, is not held by the Yogi teachers, who teach infinite progression --- an Evolution of Evolution, as it were. The Yogi teachings, in this last mentioned particular, are resembled more by the line of Lotze's thinking, as expressed in this sentence from his Microcosmos: "The series of Cosmic Periods, * * * each link of which is bound together with every other; * * * the successive order of these sections shall compose the unity of an onward-advancing melody." And, so through the pages of Heraclitus, the Stoics, the Pythagoreans, Empedocles, Virgil, down to the present time, in Nietzche, and his followers, we find this thought of Universal Rhythm --- that fundamental conception of the ancient Yogi Philosophy.
And, now, returning to the main path of our thought --- let us stand here at the beginning of the dawn of a Day of Brahm. It is verily a beginning, for there is nothing to be seen --- there is nothing but Space. No trace of Matter, Force or Mind, as we know these terms. In that portion of Infinite Space --- that is, of course, in that "portion" of the Infinite Mind of the Absolute One, for even Space is a "conception" of that Mind, there is "Nothing." This is "the darkest moment, just before the dawn."
Then comes the breaking of the dawn of the Brahmic Day. The Absolute begins the "creation" of a Universe. And, how does It create? There can be no creation of something out of nothing. And except the Absolute Itself there is but Nothing.
