*EMANATION - also see ASPECT, ESSENCE,
There is a hierarchy of existences, each one of which imparts form and change to the one below it, but emanations grow weaker the further they were from their source. (Aristotle)
Emanations proceed from God in pairs, male and female.' (Hist, p95, Gnostics)
Emanations are similar to the ripple effect achieved by dropping a stone into a pool. (Randy)
