After each period of manifestation, the cosmos, or the solar system, "passes into His Consciousness", in accordance with the eternal alternation of the manifestation phase (Shrishti) and the <a href="/wiki/Pralaya" title="Pralaya">rest</a> one that is "inherent in the Absolute." This state is "beautifully" described, in Taimni's opinion, in the first stanza of Cosmogenesis in The Secret Doctrine.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlavatsky188835-49">[40]</a> Thus, the universe in the state of pralaya is in the consciousness of Shiva.

The created world animated by the Logos is called <a href="/wiki/Vishnu" title="Vishnu">Vishnu</a>, the "indwelling Life, or the Second Logos" in Theosophy. "This corresponds to the <a href="/wiki/Satcitananda" class="mw-redirect" title="Satcitananda">Ananda</a> aspect which is the relating principle between <a href="/wiki/Sat_(Sanskrit)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sat (Sanskrit)">Sat</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cit_(consciousness)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cit (consciousness)">Cit</a> or Self and Not-Self," Taimni wrote. But this process of thought-formation, which takes place in consciousness, and not in matter, does not in any way affect the "Logos Himself." He "remains as He was," although He supports and permeates the manifested solar system that He controls. "Having created this world and ensouled it I remain," as <a href="/wiki/Sri_Krishna" class="mw-redirect" title="Sri Krishna">Sri Krishna</a> says in <a href="/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita" title="Bhagavad Gita">The Bhagavad-gita</a> [X, 42].

Taimni explained: "It is the <a href="/wiki/Transcendence_(philosophy)" title="Transcendence (philosophy)">Transcendent</a> Aspect, as Vishnu is the <a href="/wiki/Immanence" title="Immanence">Immanent</a> Aspect and Brahma the Imprisoned Aspect of Divinity, if I may use such a term.

The ultimate reason of this appears to be that the lndians have no idea of objective phenomenality. Because they cannot understand the individualities to be relatively constant centres (conglomerations, groups) of functions of the universal spirit, they must take them either for illusions or for separate senso-material existences. And the latter view is obliged to draw the conclusion that the absolute being from which they emanate or derive their existence must also be senso-material. This can only be avoided and an enlightened idea of spirit can only be arrived at, if one takes our notions of matter to be mere illusions of our senses; the objective matter, however, corresponding with it, to be the product of immaterial forces acting in space, and these forces to be the functions of the one unconscious cosmic force."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHartmann1885176-117">[97]</a></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hinduism_and_Theosophy&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Buddhism_and_Theosophy" title="Buddhism and Theosophy">Buddhism and Theosophy</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Christianity_and_Theosophy" title="Christianity and Theosophy">Christianity and Theosophy</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/From_the_Caves_and_Jungles_of_Hindostan" title="From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan">From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan</a></li> <li>"<a href="/wiki/Is_Theosophy_a_Religion%3F" title="Is Theosophy a Religion?">Is Theosophy a Religion?</a>"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Theosophy_and_literature#Yeats" title="Theosophy and literature">Literature and Theosophy</a></li> <li>"<a href="/wiki/What_Are_The_Theosophists%3F" title="What Are The Theosophists?">What Are The Theosophists?</a>"</li> <li>"<a href="/wiki/What_Is_Theosophy%3F" title="What Is Theosophy?">What Is Theosophy?</a>"</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hinduism_and_Theosophy&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Notes">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-9"><a href="#cite_ref-9">^</a> According to the researchers in esotericism Emily Sellon and Renée Weber, "it was not until the late nineteenth century, after the advent of the Theosophical movement," that interest in Asian thought appeared.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESellon,_Weber1992326-8">[8]</a> </li> <li id="cite_note-15"><a href="#cite_ref-15">^</a> In March 1891, M.
