Causeless cause
Causeless cause (or all cause) is 'An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable Principle'[1][2] in Theosophy. It is the theosophical conception of God, which involves the negation of everything.[3] The principle is described as the central point from which all emerges and around and toward which all gravitates.[4]
Causeless cause is synonymous with 'the absolute', which 'Proto-logos' is often confused with, but it is not: 'first' denotes finite bound, but causeless cause is unbounded. There are numerous other descriptions such as how it is also equated to the form of the absolute Being and Non-Being, or the 'great Architect and to concepts such as Divine Love[4] and pure awareness or 'consciousness at rest'.[5] Hindus and Theosophists call it Para Brahman (Parabrahm). Formless Parabrahm is said to periodically emanate Logoi, which are hence not causeless, but are non-eternal except in cycles of emanation, existence, pralaya (dissolution). In each cycle, causeless cause causes the Logoic Monad to move into action, which develops into the Logoic triad/triple manifestation, and the heptad (i.e. seven; prajapatis (Devas) or Elohim) which continue the cosmic chain of cause and effect. It has been shown the causeless cause is so described in some religious cosmogenesis accounts.[citation needed]
