Specifically what I'm wondering is in Setian philosophy, is the Black Flame;
1. The process itself towards self-realization
2. The self realization itself
or
3. An actual independent object/spiritual thing within itself, that is involved with/helps with self realization?
Or is it something else entirely?
Also for the Setian, is it possible for the self realized to be more universal than personal, such as it is in Eastern religions (think realizing your smallness and inter-connection with nature)? Or does Setian belief necessarily dictate that each person/soul is truly it's own thing, separate from the Universe at large that should be exalted? Something totally different? Similar?
