351. Book Four displays a partial ``unwinding'' of the symbol. [172], [292-293]
352. This is endless, yet it ends. [286-287], [235], [237], [240]
353. Ending it, one must cross an infinite spiritual distance. [239]
354. Essential Atheism fears the origin of spiritual motion. [92-93]
355. Essential Dualism fears completion of this motion. [192-193], [198]
356. But continuity generates ultimacy: it is continuity that is feared. [213], [274]
357. Continuity means that the cause, desire, will, and thought of all things are united. [206-211], [281]
358. This is ``the single thought of the single thinker.''
359. Single, yet not single. [237]
360. This much should be obvious: freedom lies in the center; therefore freedom consists in alignment of will. [255], [60], [278], [348-349]
361. The center, as the culmination of the path of love and as perspectiveless perspective, is the same for all beings. [151], [251]
362. The same, yet not the same. [237]
363. Freedom cannot fall short of the center; therefore it demands infinity of being. [186], [239], [256]
364. Infinite, yet not infinite. [237]
365. Dualism, atheism, and cynicism provide the same complaint: how can the finite reach the infinite? -- Surely this is nothing but arrogance! [198]
366. Descartes replied: I have in my mind the Idea of God. [70], [290]
367. This is explained esoterically in the following way: we are part of an infinite transactional system. [284], [262]
368. The system is infinite because in it, opposites are united. [211-212]
369. Know thyself: -- as part of an infinite transactional system, we cannot know ourselves without knowing the totality. [213], [284-285]
370. We are that symbol. [297], [366], [83]
371. This gives the full esoteric meaning of the thunderbolt as it applies to the possibility of complete self-knowledge. [274]
372. But even if complete self-knowledge means knowledge of the totality, how can we know that we are capable of complete self-knowledge? [240]
