The summary conclusion of this system is that all existence, whether material or mental, is evolved from the interactions of Light and Gravitation and culminates in Mind. What Coleridge means by “The one Life, within us and abroad” can, in this context, thus be seen in two ways: firstly, that there is one source of life, an energy (not a thing) which, by the processes of polarisation described above, manifests itself as both matter and as consciousness; and secondly, that the supreme manifestation of that One Life is the human consciousness itself which is the instrument of synthesising these two separated halves, the polar opposites of knower and knowledge.
