In contrast to the familiar Judaeo-Christian\u00a0monotheistic\u00a0view, according to which the whole universe just appears ready- made through Divine\u00a0Fiat<\/em>\u00a0(or command), and the\u00a0materialistic\u00a0view which simply ignores first principles, Emanationism explains creation as a gradual process of emanation and descent from a\u00a0transcendental Absolute\u00a0to mundane reality.\u00a0 Thus there is no\u00a0Creator God\u00a0standing apart from, even if intimately connected with, the universe as in monotheism; but rather a series of stages of down-grading of Consciousness-Being, by means of which the Absolute principle actually becomes the multiplicity of entities and objects<\/p>\n\n

It\u00a0has been suggested\u00a0(by Professor Huston Smith, in his book\u00a0\"Amazon\u00a0Forgotten Truth<\/em>) that the basic cosmology, arrived at independently by many different philosophies and spiritual traditions, shows Reality to be divided into a very minimum of\u00a0four levels or planes of reality: the Infinite or Absolute (the topic of\u00a0Monism), the Celestial or Divine, the Intermediate or Psychic (with which occultism deals), and the Terrestrial or Physical (the level considered by\u00a0Materialism).\u00a0 Each of these can in turn be sub-divided<\/p>\n\n

Thus, applying this in an emanationist perspective, the process of creation, in the emanationist cosmogony and cosmology, proceeds through a number of distinct stages.\u00a0 First the Absolute produces the Spiritual reality (or “God”).\u00a0 The Spiritual reality in turn produces the Psychic reality.\u00a0 And finally, the Psychic reality produces the Physical reality; the material world.\u00a0 Each reality constitutes a specific stage of manifestation<\/p>\n\n

Emanationism understands the more subtle and spiritual realities as preceding and generating the grosser and more material ones, and not vice-versa as materialism assumes; and that moreover those grosser realities are the result of an out-flowing from the subtle, rather than being created\u00a0ex nihilo<\/em>\u00a0– out of nothing – as the\u00a0Theistic religions\u00a0claim<\/p>\n\n

Emanationism also avoids the Monist’s dilemma of how to reconcile Unity (the Absolute) and Multiplicity (the World) by recognising that both the universe and the Absolute are “equally” real and valid, but they simply have a different position or status in the spectrum of being.<\/p>\n\n
