Daiviprakriti (Sanskrit) divine matter or original substance. The first veil or sheath or ethereal body surrounding the Logos. As Daiviprakriti, therefore, is elemental matter, . . . matter in its first and second stages of its evolution from above, we may accurately enough speak of those filmy ethereal wisps of light seen in the midnight skies as a physical manifestation of Daiviprakriti, because when they are not actually resolvable nebulae, they are worlds, or rather systems of worlds, in the making.

discontinuity (Self Aware Universe) In a quantum sense, a discontinuity occurs when an electron moves to a lesser state of energy such as during a quantum jump. In mental activity, such as during moments of creativity, a thought always manifests as a form such as feature and association, but between manifestation, it exists as transcendent archetypes. In each case, a genuine discontinuity points to a transcendent order of reality and thus a breakdown of material realism.
