Unconscious Source, Conscious Summit

It seems that the Source is itself unconscious. The Summit must, however, be
conscious given the framework I've sketched here.

The Rig Veda, the oldest Hindu texts, supports the notion of the Source (Brahman)
as unconscious:

Neither death nor immortality was there then [in the very beginning],
No sign of night or day.
That One breathed, windless, by its own energy:
Nought else existed then

In the beginning this [One] evolved,

Became desire, first seed of mind.
Wise seers, searching within their hearts,
Found the bond of Being in Not-being.

I think of the Source as pure potentiality.

It is only when matter/mind bubbles up into actuality from the depths of pure
potentiality that consciousness arises. Reality consists, then, in a spectrum from
pure potentiality to complete actuality.
