In Panosophy, Divinity, without ‘the’, denotes the Absolute, which is ever-present within and around us, as humans have sensed for millennia, often with awe, as a mixture of fear and wonder, an ambivalence also reflected in the cognates terror and terrific, from PIE base *tres- ‘to tremble’, with related *trem- and *trep-¹, roots of tremendous and intrepid, respectively.

As such, the Divine is the ultimate Source of all change in the Universe, guided by the Cosmic Equation, as the fundamental law of the Universe, denoting the union of all opposites.

Under these circumstances, we cannot know in which way Divinity will turn in particular lives, with some dying young or being killed in wars or accidents, while others are renowned concert pianists or Olympic athletes.

As individuals, we thus live with the vicissitudes of fortune in an uncertain world, where the only certainty is Divinity itself, as Nonduality, which we enjoy as Gnosis, in union with the Divine, as the coherent Light of Consciousness shines radiantly through us, free of the clouds of unknowing.
