glossary "P" to "R"
parabraham (Sanskrit) : [from para beyond + Brahman (neuter) universal self or spirit] - That which is beyond Brahman. The self-enduring, eternal, self-sufficient cause of all causes, the essence of everything in the cosmos.
parada (Tantrik & Sanskrit): "Mercury". Semen of Shiva.
Paramatman : The self which is higher than the self of the human ego. Equivalent to: absolute atman, supreme soul, supreme spirit, immanent self, supersoul, oversoul, & "seed of egoity".
Paranirvana (Sanskrit) : That which is beyond Nirvana. A period of cosmic rest.
Personal Atom : In the "compound constitution" of man, the Permanent Atoms (PA) are as follows (in descending order) :
1 : the Atmic PA is housed in man on the Spiritual Plane;
2 : the Buddhic PA, on the Intuitional Plane;
3 : the Manasic PA on the Mental Plane;
4 : the Astral PA on the Emotional Plane; and
5 : the Physical PA at the atomic level on the Physical Plane.
A Personal Atom is the summation of these "Permanent Atoms" plus the "Mental Unit" or, "lower mind" (located between the Manasic PA & the Astral PA), and around which, the bodies for a new incarnation are formed.
personal unconscious (Freud) : programmed instincts and repressed personal memories that affect our conscious actions through unconscious drives.
planet (anagogic usage): the refined reference to a collective; localizing various souls by the habitats in which they are found. Planetary habitats further distinguish a Heavenly native's ideal while acknowledging their annular relation to the central Deity that envelopes them. (see: galaxy)
Plêrôma (Gnosticism) : from the Greek, "region of light", or the "Fullness", at the head of which resides the supreme God, the One beyond being.
prana (Spectrum of Consciousness) : Organismic consciousness which in Sanskrit is called "prana", Greek "pneuma", Arabic "ruh", Chinese "chi". The correspondence is that prana is an exact equivelent of the Holy Spirit.
primary dualism (SOC) : is the primary point at which man shifts from a cosmic identity with the All to a personal identity with his organism. It is where the non-dual awareness of Absolute Subjectivity becomes repressed, at which point the human psyche projects itself as a distinction of opposites - such as, "subject vs. object", or "organism vs. environment".
psychoid (Carl Jung) : a non psychic aspect of archetypes that is immediately rooted in the stuff of the organism, and has the nature of forming the bridge to matter in general. In Jung's analogy with the electromagnetic spectrum, that portion of the spectrum that is visible light corresponds to those psychic processes capable of reaching consciousness. At the lower 'psychic infrared' end of the spectrum is found the biological, instinctual psyche, which 'gradually passes over into the physiology of the organism and thus merges with its chemical and physical conditions.' At the upper 'psychic ultraviolet' end, the realm of the spirit, the archetypes are present as dynamic organizers of ideas and images.
psychopannychia : the "sleep of the soul"
