The “&nbsp;Parent Space&nbsp;” is the eternal, ever present cause of all&nbsp;—&nbsp;the incomprehensible deity, whose “&nbsp;invisible robes&nbsp;” are the mystic root of all matter, and of the Universe. Space is the ''one eternal thing ''that we can most easily imagine, immovable in its abstraction and uninfluenced by either the presence or absence in it of an objective Universe. It is without dimension, in every sense, and self-existent. Spirit is the first differentiation from That, the causeless cause of both Spirit and Matter. It is, as taught in the esoteric catechism, neither limitless void, nor conditioned fulness, but both. It was and ever will be. (See Proem pp. 2 ''et seq.'')
