ESOTERIC DEFINITION OF MONAD by Otto Rapp Via Flickr: AI created on Nightcafe with Seedream 4.0 and refined with Creative Upscale. From a creation by my friend Paulo Cunha I researched a term he used in his prompt, and got the answer, which I then used as a prompt, evolving it several times until I finally ran it with Seedream 4.0 using the two best image results as seeds. Both seeds came from Mysterious XL v4 - one of which was evolved from Flux Schnell with a figurative design, the other one evolved from Dreamshaper XL Lightning which had given me a abstract design mandala. I think that combination worked very well. For the Definition what it means, read the prompt: The term monad in a spiritual context refers to a fundamental unit or singularity that embodies oneness, particularly concerning divinity. It signifies the essential unity that connects every individual and experience, representing both individuality and interconnectedness. In various philosophical and spiritual teachings, the monad is seen as the innermost spirit or essence of a being, often associated with the divine. It symbolizes consciousness concentrated to the point where the Ego emerges, highlighting the relationship between the individual and the universal.
