>How does knowledge give rise to ignorance?
Ignorance doesn't exist as a real entity like knowledge of something does, ignorance is just the lack of proper knowledge of something, the negation of something which exists doesn't have its own existence which needs to be accounted for because it's simply the lack of something that does have actual real existence. Ignorance is beginningless because God is anterior to time (which is along with duality etc perceived out of ignorance) as its transcendental source which can only be expressed in terms of time by saying that God is beginningless or outside time, and so by virtue of possessing knowledge of Himself as the omnipotent source of everything it is effortless and natural for him exercise His own omniscient use of His own power to grant them to grant to individual beings the semblance of existing in a multiplicity which is its own lack of the eternally true self-revealing constant and knowledge of Himself as immortal sentient bliss that He always possesses, while also granting the end of their ignorance through the very same eternal, natural and inherent wilding of His omniscience that granted them ignorance in the first place, all without paying any attention to to any of them as individuals or without their ignorance arising as a visible object that interrupts or disturbs His own eternal non-dual constant revelation of Himself to Himself as infinite and eternal sentience.
>How does unity give rise to multiplicity?
Because the infinite entity that is the Lord is completely united in His own partless and undivided unicity He is capable of producing the semblance of any finite thing out of itself like how if you multiply one by an unlimited amount you can come up with an unlimited number of specific numbers, at all times it remains undifferentiated as Himself though, the multiplicity only being a semblance of it arising from Him being the transcendental source of the ignorance that is the origin of our experience of time, space, causation etc which results in us seeming to experience it as the true reality.
>How can light project a shadow?
In the same way that the concept of non-existence can only be imagined or conceiving of in any form or fashion by virtue of that mental concept occurring at the same times as and by the self-illuminating light of our own conscious experience of our thoughts and other mental phenomena. these and other such thoughts come and go within the same continuous span of uninterrupted awareness that cannot be reduce down to its constituents because it is formless and partless.
