PREFACE
1. THE SERIES OF BOOKS "THE TEACHING
OF DJWHAL KHUL - ESOTERIC NATURAL SCIENCE" – AND A SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR IT
In our lifetimes there is probably nothing more
mysterious, enchanting, enticing and
frightening at the same time rather than a contact with something supernatural. The
Higher Mind, other worlds,
mysterious places, keeping the secrets,
and strange beings endowed with abilities
that are unavailable to the
common man. All this and much more, unknown has always been the subject
to scrutiny by the people.
It's like a door entailing
somewhere into the unknown, which
allows to look beyond the daily routine,
expanding the horizons of our imagination. This is the only area that best informs
us about the issues of death,
and what will be
after it. And, of course, people can’t pass up the opportunity to look into the door, and
even pass through it.
The Himalayan
Mahatmas swung open before humanity one of these doors. They are superhuman,
white mages, mentors and teachers. The word "Mahatma" is translated
from Sanskrit as a "Great Soul." The Ascended Masters, they have gone
on the path of evolution far from us. However, they chose to remain to guide
and coordinate the formation and development of people. This is the greatest
difficulty for them and the boon for us.
The Masters of the Trans-Himalayan Esoteric School take disciples into their spiritual ashrams from around the globe. A contact carried out not in
person, but on the subtle plans,
in the mind. In the course of such
intangible teaching people are taught to all kinds of spiritual practices that lead to enlightenment and the attainment
of true knowledge about the world.
The best-known teachers of this school are Kuthumi,
Moria and Djwhal Khul.
From the middle of the 19th century Mahatmas
additionally committed themselves to telepathically transmit through the
intermediaries (who was chosen from among the disciples) the texts of works,
connecting science and religion. Helena Blavatsky was the first messenger-telepath. Such monumental books like
“Isis Unveiled” and “Secret Doctrine” were born thanks to
her cooperation with the Himalayan adepts.
In the 20th century Alice
Anne Bailey continued her work. She was
the owner of great syllable and style. During
her contact with Djwhal Khul, she wrote more
than 20 books containing valuable
information about the basics of
our Being, the psychology of people and the techniques of meditation.
In particular, the series of
works entitled "A Treatise on
the Seven Rays" is simply unique in its importance.
In the books of Alice Bailey there is the
prediction that it's not the latest series of works, and in the beginning of the
21st century, it will continue. These books will be also devoted to the theme
of synthesis of science and esotericism. But their central focus of attention will be directed precisely on the scientific issues and problems and their
decision.
And I am lucky to present to you this series
of works entitled "The Teaching of Djwhal Khul - Esoteric Natural
Science" (because here dealt mainly natural science issues).
Let you not be afraid of the word
"discipline", that reminding rote learning and exams. We tried to use
a simple and clear language, but without neglecting the laws of logic. Our aim is to reveal the deeper
meaning of the known scientific
laws and concepts of the natural
processes and phenomena, using information
gleaned from Ageless Wisdom.
Bring to your
attention the series of books created during the tense telepathic contact with
one of the Ascended Masters (as they are often called) of the Trans-Himalayan
Esoteric School - Djwhal Khul.
The purpose
of this series of treatises – is to combine science and occult. To explain natural
processes and phenomena, to try using
the basic occult terms
and concepts. To solve the problems over which scientists
break their heads. Also we want to take a look at the esotericism from the scientific point
of view.
A lot of what is said
in this book by the different scientists at the
different times has already been put
forward in the form of bold
hypotheses. So from it, we'll start. However, throughout
the text we will inweave an esoteric terminology, seeking to put an equal sign
between occultism and science.
In this
series of books we tell separately about every
field of science. Although it was not
easy. At the core of each of them
there are the same fundamental laws of Nature. Therefore, as
we try, the usual
separation of Sciences you will not find here. A narrow
specialization is useful for the
perception of the studied material. However, the aim of this book - a synthesis, so there are often times you
will find the absolute "mix" of sciences.
Before we begin to
make any changes in physics, chemistry,
biology, astronomy, we bow to the
truly titanic work of the scientists of all time, who have erected along
their shoulders the colossal and
terrific science building.
Science pervades all
areas of everyday life, facilitating our existence. In no event we are going to destroy the foundation of scientific knowledge,
particularly touching the question of its practical experience.
We just try to look at the known natural processes and phenomena under somewhat
different from the esoteric point
of view.
The humanity does not still possess a unified world outlook which would unite all people. But it is necessary to
create such - for the sake of the future
of ourselves.
People die
everyday. Healthy person is or sick,
but death is inevitable for everyone.
And we want to ask ourselves and
you: do we not all are tired of the endless, maddening
series of losses of the loved ones and
friends and of our own expectation of death?
Maybe is it time to change
something? Maybe is possible for us another existence?
We want people who
read these lines, shared with us
this knowledge and supplemented it with their own. For humanity,
in whole, process of true revelation has not started yet. Transforming from
human to superhuman state, we "will stand under a waterfall" of
information of absolutely new level, which by avalanche going to fall on us. We
should not be afraid of it, but before that must prepare our bodies, these
"new furs" for the
"new wine." Next, we
are waiting for the endless wonders.
We believe
in the happy ending of our existence. If all goes bad, then it's not a final yet. And the "final" is not
"end" in the usual sense
of this word. It is a transition to another state of Existence.
02. WHY IS SUCH EPIGRAPH USED?
As the
first quote of epigraph to this
book, we took Isaac Newton's famous words
- "I do not
invent hypotheses". Although, admittedly, it
was not always possible to follow his "advice" - science is
impossible without hypotheses and assumptions. It’s especially
in the process of forming a new theory. However, all hypotheses
must be as close to reality
and based on experience and logic. We assume that by "hypotheses",
which Newton did not recognize, he understood any fantastic assumptions, detached from reality.
It is the
first, why
do we have
quoted Newton.
And
the
second - is tribute of gratitude to his genius. Its merit is, first of all, in the accuracy of many his discoveries and assumptions. This refers
to the nature of light, the Law
of Gravity, the Law of Inertia, the nature of the Space and Time.
In modern
physics only a separate niche
is given to classical mechanics. While the tenets of the relativity theory and quantum mechanics are considered as more
universal.
In what
follows we will focus on the assumptions of both mechanics and
you’ll see how far-sighted
Newton was. And that classical mechanic is early to
write off. Should rather revive it,
update, and use its laws not only in relation to bodies, but also to the chemical elements and elementary particles.
As for the
second quote used as an
epigraph, it is also taken not
by accident. Memento Mori (lat.
"Remember that you die") - Latin
phrase which became a catch
phrase. In ancient Rome this phrase was pronounced during the triumphal
march of the Roman military leaders, who were returning with a victory. Behind the back of military commander put the slave who was
required to periodically remind triumphant, that in spite of his fame, he is mortal (see "Wikipedia").
If you remember about
death, it will help you to acquire the correct attitude to life.
Awareness of the fact that everything in this world not lasts forever, including you yourself, enable with you, first,
to appreciate more every moment of life,
and secondly, less tied to everything that you can have in life.
The third quote speaks
for itself. This is appealing to
people not to consider themselves
as the crown of evolutionary creation and not to see themselves
as owners of the planet.
As for the beautiful poem of
Dylan Thomas, it can be regarded as a symbol of the age-old dream of mankind – the
life without death.
The concluding
statement - the words of Thomas Henry Huxley - tells us
that, on the one hand, human thinking has inherently certain inertia and people can react
to new knowledge belatedly.
On the other hand, human knowledge is in the process of constant renewal, and
can become obsolete and discarded.
03. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE BOOK
A primary purpose
of this series of books is to scientifically interpret the phenomenal achievement of Jesus Christ and other Ascended Masters. A minor,
but also very important task is to bring
together the knowledge about the universe structure, accumulated by human science, with the esoteric information that is anciently contained
in religious scriptures and treatises, and is
known as the Timeless Wisdom.
At the same time we set to ourselves another goal - to strip the soil those implausible scientific fantasies
and hypothesis, divorced from
reality, which are present in the scientific literature.
Another purpose – is to remove forever from
the minds of people the fear
associated with the incorrect interpretation
of biblical prophecies. Generally,
the less of all kinds of fear oppress the human, then he is freer and happier.
The series is divided into a number of works, each of which is dedicated to a specific area of science. Most of
data and facts will be associated with
physics. This is not surprising. It
must be admitted - physics is
a basis for all
other sciences. Information of scientific
outlook on the Bible and the faith
of Jesus, Buddha and other Ascended Masters is the most important for humanity.
04. AN ADDITIONAL TASK OF THE BOOK IS THE ANALYSIS OF HABITUAL EVENTS
A desire to
help people relax, do not worry about the huge number of household challenges
that we all face every day – this all with a large extent stimulated the
process of creating of this book. Not suffer of the everyday little things -
what could be better!
In each
event we should see the laws of nature - the laws of physics, chemistry,
astronomy and biology - and in case of any failures (or rather, what is
considered to be failures) "shift the blame" on these laws, and do
not reproach ourselves.
When you
realize a huge, immense, all-encompassing
sweep of happening - you cease to suffer
from any kind of missteps or because of what
appears to be a misstep for others.
You begin
to appreciate those times
when you managed to do everything
right. After all, all of us living on the planet, every
moment has to fight with a lot
of the Universal Laws, which has been steadily and making
no exceptions, determine all our
existence (for example, we have
to fight with the influence of the gravity
field of the planet).
Imagine
that you dropped the cup. It
fell to the floor and shattered
into pieces.
Then there
is our usual reaction: "Oh, what a pity! It was such a beautiful thing! What have I done! ".
How often we react so,
especially when the cup was really loved.
But it would be good to see yourself a little bit from the side - a creature of small size on the huge planet hurtling in
the open spaces of the boundless
universe – a "victim"
of unforgiving laws of nature.
It helps to recognize in happened a whole series of mechanical phenomena.
And a whole
number of questions line up in the head: 1) What happened in the time of impact of hand with
a cup on the edge of the table
(or it slipped from
hands, because they or a cup was wet)?
2) Why the cup wasn’t left standing on the table, and began to move after impact, and then dropped, when the table surface is
over?
3) Why has a cup fallen
when the table surface is over and not hovering,
for example, in the air?
4) Why has a cup smashed
when it faced with a hard floor surface?
5) Why the parts into which it smashed, do not fall
right there in the place of collision with the floor, and dispersed all over
the kitchen (room)?
And so on. The number of
questions you can ask yourself, analyzing every minute event in your life can
be overwhelming.
In addition, you can pay
attention to the chemical composition of the cup, the chemical composition of
the air through which the cup was falling, the chemical content of the table on
which it stood, the chemical elements of the hand that shot it down, chemistry
of the floor on which it fell, etc.
And all of this will give
you more information about what happened and will establish any regularities.
You can think about the
state of own organism, and analyze the reasons for which you have shot down
(has been dropped) the cup. Maybe you were
in a hurry to somewhere or have been too scattered and immersed
in your own thoughts and maybe you
were angry or offended by something,
or maybe just tired. Or you were filled with
joy, and you were not up to the cup.
The
conclusions will help you to figure out at least roughly, what happens to your body and how it responds to what is happening to you in life in general.
How much interesting and useful information
we can extract from a simple falling of the cup on
the floor instead banal: "Oh,
what I'm awkward!"
Perhaps
after that the process of falling cups on the floor will be so interesting for
you that you will buy a dozen at a bargain price, and will see what will become
when you will drop them from wet hands, just drop, throw, throw on the wall,
throw from the balcony ... And enthusiastically watch what happens with cups,
with you and with others (especially with them)...
That's why
we're writing this book - in order that it will be interesting for you to drop
the cups.
And also in order to you
have not felt guilty when you drop something, smash, when you spoil the things.
When any processes that you planned do not working out.
We want you dissect the
surrounding reality, reveal the lowdown of traditions and analyze the rituals -
what lies behind them, and whether you should follow them blindly.
We want people to not live automatically, without thinking about what they do, how do, why they do what they do, and
also about what happens
around them... Life without analysis is the
road to prejudice.
Although it
is recognized that the habits, traditions make life much easier, they allow you
to go with the flow, help to relax and unwind.
If
something is going wrong, as it should be, or as prescribed, do not blame
yourself and analyze what is happening. And if others will look at you askance
and with disapproval, do not be shy and try to understand why they behave this
way. Likely that
most of them are still in the thrall of thinking, not inclined to analysis. In other words,
in front of you there are the people far
from science. Do not judge them for it strictly and
take this fact for granted. Maybe
many of them yet in the future will embark on the path of the researcher and
the experimenter.
05. BE SURPRISED OF THE FACT OF YOUR EXISTENCE
Make your mind abstract. Wonder!
Be surprised the very fact of your existence. Take a look around as an absolutely,
totally asexual creature or rather, as a creature equally combines the features
of both sexes.
Perceive life as a
unique opportunity to participate in the process of creation bodies of the
perfect beings, for which a vastness
of the universe will be accessible, without using of space vehicles.
Search for
the meaning of life, as well as the
adoption of ne or another religion (not necessarily one of the cores) - is an explanation
of what is happening with you and around you. The person discovers the true meaning of birth and death of self,
others and all living things.
The process of awareness the
surrounding reality always starts
with a question: “What am I? And
what is this world where I am?” The thoughts that come to you after that in
the head - this is the answer to your question. Perhaps it will be not thoughts,
but only sensations. For example, it’s the feeling of acute
awareness of the moment of being. The whole process of awareness is very
similar to the operation of awakening. You look at your body, at the things
around you, at the sun, at the sky, at people, and are amazed - “God, what is
all this and why is this all here?“. And while you "are awakened",
all of these questions are continuously present in your mind. If they
disappear, then you "are fallen asleep" again.
To humanity is absolutely
necessary to look at itself well from the outside. Recall the past, see into
the future and appreciate the present. After that we will finally understand
the meaning of our existence and the existence of this world at all.
There is a constant clatter
of heels on the pavement. There are children hubbub and noise of passing cars.
Echo draws the geometric lines between the houses. Green lawns and playground,
bathed in natural light. On the ground there is clearly visible every speck of
dust, every stick and small insect. Literally every part of the air is
permeated with light. Sunbeams from metallic coatings
and window panes jump from trees along the sidewalk, and from there into the street and back, indiscriminately crawl
into the eyes of curious children and respectable adults. This is or world.
06. THE CRUTCHES OF HUMANITY
Humanity can be compared with the patient recovering from a prolonged, severe illness. It relies on crutches and, thanks to them, can walk. "A serious
illness" in this case is the origin of the man, the roots that originate
from the early stages of evolution of life on the Earth. Like any mineral,
plant or animal, the human is chained to the planet and adapted to this
existence. All biochemical and physiological reactions of the human body are
due information stored in all elementary particles of the body. And this information is accumulated by all three kingdoms of nature that preceded the human. "Bones" - are the techno sphere of all mankind,
all household, inventions and tools
that support and facilitate an existence.
The mankind «recover» finally and discard "crutches", only when will move to a new level of evolution - in
the state of superhumanity.
07. MONEY. THE PROBLEMS OF HUMANITY
The cause
of all ills and sins of mankind
lies in the metabolism of the human organism. The human body – is a legacy of the animal kingdom. We people have constantly to collect the plants and kill animals for subsistence, because we are not able to synthesize macromolecular complexes from carbon
dioxide and water, as the plants do.
In the today's world money is a symbol of food. The
availability of money is equated to
the presence of food. This means that this person will
live. Lack of money means no food that symbolizes death. Money - this is the
scoring system, by which people evaluate each other's work.
People, who
are not involved in farming or
herding, separated from the natural food sources. Mostly, they are
the townspeople. For them money is the central motivation of their lives, as it
is - the main condition of their survival. Following the instinct of
self-preservation, these people seek to get (earn) as much money. Otherwise -
death or hungry, miserable existence. Some do not neglect such methods "of
earnings" as robbery and theft. Often they are accompanied by murders. The
pursuit of money is harassing, but vital. People want to survive and to live
with comfort, without feeling anxiety about food and shelter for tomorrow day.
People plan their lives, as opposed to animals, very carefully. In addition
people have the beginnings of altruistic behavior - a care of their own kind
(although all in varying degrees). Hence it is such a complex socioeconomic
structure of human society.
Rural
residents are not so dependent on money as townspeople. Money, as opposed to
agricultural products, is multifunctional. It can be exchanged for any
"benefits of civilization", while make this with the fruits of plants
and animal carcasses is more difficult. Typically, in areas where the plants
are grown and animals are bred, people have an excess of these products.
Therefore, an exchanging between each other just does not happen - there is no
one to sell.
At the same
time these people need in the products of artisans who live in urban centers.
And the townspeople themselves in dire need of agricultural products and almost
do not need in the goods of the same artisans.
As a result, money has become the greatest boon, allowing each worker to acquire what he needs at the moment. Therefore, it must be admitted that the money gives everyone
freedom.
The
spectrum of human needs is gradually increasing due to the appearance of "spiritual
needs" in a variety of forms. This means that people
are starting to be more actively interested in the meaning of their own existence.
As a
result, the creative professions are becoming more and more popular in society
- films, TV, theater, dance art, music, literature, science, art, and industry
of computer programming, sports shows, and more. We can’t list all. Such modern
phenomenon as "show business" sometimes combines all areas of
creative thought.
The life of mankind is based on the possession, use, purchase and sale of various types of chemical compounds (resources) and products of them (goods).
"The
problem of money," is eternal. Just as the crimes of people for money are
eternal. This means that all of this will exist as long as humanity will remain
the crown of nature. As soon as in the depths of mankind the superhumanity will
blossom, the money problem will gradually recede. And then disappear completely
when the number of superhuman will large enough.
People will
never solve all their problems – will not defeat hunger, disease, will not
resolve the fuel crisis, will not get rid of the death. But all this will on
forces to representatives of coming over mankind, the fifth superhuman kingdom
in nature.
Although
they will not habitually solve all human problems. Rather, they will not solve
them at all. All these problems simply disappear by themselves. Hunger,
disease, lack of fuel and energy, and death - from it all superhuman will be
spared, because the metabolism of their organisms will be quite different. The
Earth will cease to be their only habitat place.
08. THE LIFE AFTER DEATH
A growing number of
scientists begin to consider with attention to the concept of existence of human
"I" after death. However, the fact of life after death is not scientifically
confirmed. What does it mean "not scientifically confirmed"?
This means that any person
with photo or video camera (or any other instrument fixing light or
electromagnetic waves) do not dead, and then returned - that is, came to life and
showed everybody what he (she) saw. Science is serious about only to such
evidence.
Such experiments would never
be enforced. Death is a separation of bodies consisting of elementary particles
of different plans, integrated during life into a single whole - in the body.
That is, life itself - is a rationing of unity of the particles of different
quality.
If we accept that human
"I" is the body of very low density, then an instrument that
registers events must be the same, rarefied body. Perhaps the human
"I" guiding the human organism
during the life and separated from the physical body after death - this is the
most accurate, reliable device, storing in memory all that happens to us,
whether we are alive (connected with the dense body) or "in other world"
(separated from the physical body).
The problem
is that human "I"
is not able to transfer to other human "I" memories of the post-mortem existence by technical means.
Because devices are the dense bodies deprived of
elementary particles of Astral,
Mental, Buddhic or
even higher plans. And science can’t create a
transducer of signals of these Planes into signals of the Physical Plane.
It should be noted that a similar natural transformer - is the human body.
Therefore, in order to make
sure in reality of life after death, people need to improve not a technology,
but their own bodies.
09. THE PURPOSE OF SPIRITUAL
PRACTICES
Animals and people tend to live with the "looking back" - that
is they constantly look around for fear of attacks by predators or competitors.
In people such behavior manifests itself in a much lesser extent compared with
the animals. This is due to a more reasonable organization of the human
community and more powerful development of altruistic features of behavior. To
live "looking back" means to not have a stable metabolic state. The
body then calms down, then switches to mode "fight or running away".
The purpose
of the spiritual practice – is the developing of the ability to go away from
the animal and human behavior, and look at the events indifferently, from a
position of "observer" without fear of others. This means that the person seeks to maintain itself in a peppy, but not of overexcited state, when both divisions
of the ANS - the sympathetic
and parasympathetic - are in a state of
balance. He appreciates every
day of life.
In behavior this is reflected the form of unwillingness to follow the
"lower" (earlier) programs of behavior. As a result there appears
reluctance to fight with others, "earn their daily bread". You just
want to look at everything, but not to participate, blindly imitating the
crowd. There appears an ability to move away from conflicts. The human as if initially
sees the ultimate goal of existence of this world.
10. THE DREAM OF ANYONE MAN
All
human dreams could be summed as follows: "Without disease and old age LIVE
FOREVER and be able to freely and instantly travel to any point in the universe
- that is, BE ABLE TO FLY ".
11. WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO
THE BEST OF ALL?
The chief
virtue of mankind is that people well enough studied all the substances in the
crust. They have mastered every possible combination of these substances with
each other - mechanical or chemical, or combinations of both. People mix,
combine, merge and group the substances, and the individual elements, creating
new ones and new combinations of materials (mechanisms).
12. GRATITUDES TO MY FAMILY AND
FRIENDS
I want to
express my deep gratitude to my parents - Lyudmila Michailovna Novikova (mom)
and Anatoliy Maksimovich (dad) for their love and support now and all my life.
Also I express the great love and appreciation to my son Daniel for what he is.
And here is
my thanks to other
relatives, friends and acquaintances.
In particular, to Natalia Snezhinskaya, Nadezhda Bortnikova, Elena Shumilova, Vera
Ivanovna Kolopatina, Olga
Andreevna Portnova, Igor Kuleshov.
And now we ask you to take
their seats and feel yourself comfortable during our traveling to new
knowledge. Enjoy your journey!
THE MAIN PART. ALL SIDES
OF THE ABSOLUTE (GOD, CREATOR, THE THINKING
SUBSTANCE)
01. THE
MAIN "ACTORS"
OF OCCULTISM
Occultism (from lat. Occultus - a
secret, hidden) – is a common name for the teachings, which reveal before the
people who knows how to understand their hidden meaning, the all lowdown of our
world. Unlike normal human science, which focuses only on specific phenomena
and processes of reality, occultism tends to direct human attention primarily
on the basis of the Universe, to indicate those universal laws and factors that
lie at the heart of everything - as existing and hidden. Moreover, exactly
underlying factors are recognized as truly incorruptible.
It reports as
the generalized scheme, which contains information about what is this world,
this universe. And transmitted knowledge is often imprinted in the symbolic
form.
It would seem
strange: how can we in the religion talk about any faces? After all, the
Universe - it's not a human.
However, as is
well known, religions constantly discern and use anthropomorphism in respect of
global, philosophical categories. We plunge into symbolism and
constantly come before the Heavenly
Persons - Men and Women, Gods and
Goddesses.
That's why we
have taken the liberty to claim that God appears before our researcher look is
able to be an actor and change its masks.
"The Main
Actors" - are the Hypostases of Creator, part of which we all are.
Let's look at the basics of occult symbolism.
The main goal of
our excursus will be to find as many similarities in various esoteric writings
and the Holy Scriptures. We need to identify main groups of
synonyms, narrating about the same
aspects of the Absolute. When the series
of definitions relating to one and the same will be made up, people studying
the esoteric, will be easier to sort out all the abundance of symbolic
information, that saturating the esoteric-religious treatises, where it is very
easy to sink.
Our universe,
our God - it's a brilliant actor, director, screenwriter together. What's its
dressing room! And what a scene and scenery! Anyone can verify this by looking
in the mirror or around you.
And the first
role in which the Creator acts - is he. Or rather, itself, because the universe
- it's not a man.
The Absolute,
the God One Reality, unparalleled,
Thinking Cosmic Substance – these all are synonyms.
It is that Unimaginable
Something that fills the space, and, in fact, is itself an Intellectual
Spatial Tissue. This is exactly the same Tao,
the poetic treatise Lao
Tzu "Tao Te Ching"
is dedicated to. Moreover,
translating into Russian the Tao as "the Truth" Valery Pereleshin certainly is not wrong. The God - this is the only truth to which we are all
really strive to and which always eludes from us.
Now we barely
hinted at the most important characters of the saga of the occultism.
There is
nothing in the base, but this
Essence filling the space, which is the space itself.
There is
nothing but "One of Whom About
Naught May Be Said".
It is
eternal, inaccessible, unknowable and indescribable, invisible,
inaudible, odorless and tasteless.
Buddhism
teaches us that Buddha attained
enlightenment is immersed into
Nirvana. As you remember, Nirvana
can’t be characterized, using human language, for it does
not fit any known definitions.
That's why Buddhists have
resorted to the only remaining in
their possession description method - the method of denial.
Denying that what Nirvanic state
is not, they thereby give us some idea of
what it is, or at least, of what it
cannot be. Nirvana
- is not this and not that...
And the Absolute cannot
be traced utilizing the available human language definition.
There is only the Absolute
(Parabrahm, the One God...
etc.). And it has two main states - active
and inactive.
Not
active
state – is a state of the Unmanifestation.
Active – is, of
course, a manifest state.
If you will read
esoteric writings and treatises, you will find that about 80% of the information contained therein is given to the nuances and
subtleties of the manifest (active) state of God.
At the same time, only
around 20% of the data are relevant to the Absolute in an inactive
(unmanifested) state.
An unmanifested
state of the Cosmic Substance - is Mahapralaya, i.e. Great Pralaya. It’s the time when Absolute rests of its
work. And "God knows," "what about the Space thinks" during its periodically upcoming Dream.
The manifested
state of One Reality - is Mahamanvantara,
i.e. Great Manvantara.
It’s the
time when God is in the state of active intelligence of its internal
capabilities.
“Parabrahm
(the
One Reality, the Absolute) is the field of Absolute Consciousness,
i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned existence”
(H.P. Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine, I, p. 15).
We can’t speculatively spread about the nature of the Absolute, when it is in the unmanifested
state.
For the
simple reason that it is beyond the comprehension of any living being who
dwells in the depths of the Creator and being its integral part.
If the Absolute
is manifested, we can indirectly judge of what "inside" it on those
grounds, that we can observe in us and around us.
Manifestation,
Manvantara gives us a chance to look at It from the side, without leaving beyond.
We learn to observe the
"face" of Cosmic Substance by its Attire, by Its Cover.
The stumbling block for
people plunging into occultism - is abundance of synonyms.
The same aspect of God viewed
at different angles is called differently.
For this reason, the person may have a false sense that the world of religion is crowded with all sorts of beings, each of which
lives its own life, has its own sphere of influence
and its own functions.
We assure you, this is
nothing more than a deceptive
impression. Actually the Main
Actors rather can be counted
on one hand.
Three main aspects - Matter,
Spirit, Soul, or otherwise - Mother, Father, Son, -
are the three hypostases of God, three looks at It.
This Trinity under different names we find in
all the major world religions. It presents in Hinduism and Kabbalah, at
Egyptians and ancient Greeks, in Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and
Zoroastrianism.
It does not matter what names
we assign to persons of the Triad.
The main thing - is to understand the general scheme of the mechanism of manifestation and the nuances of "relationships" between the "Members" of this "Divine Family".
The main thing - is to understand the general scheme of the mechanism of manifestation and the nuances of "relationships" between the "Members" of this "Divine Family".
No coincidence thinkers of ancient peoples considered the
features manifestations of the Absolute under such very human perspective. The
idea of fusion of two aspects with the aim to birth a third, of course, is
somewhat similar the human life.
The
Matter – is the first aspect of
Absolute. In the state of Manifestation – this is the First Aspect
of Absolute. And in the Unmanifestation – it is the Absolute.
This is the Reasonable, Initial Essence, devoid of the Spirit - the Male Principle - and Soul - of the Union of Women's and Men's.
Virgin
Mary, Maya, Devamatri, Svabhavat. In reality, there is only the Thinking Substance - Substance-Principle, which has no the second. Exactly it is the basis of total - ALWAYS.
We can assign any number of names and give in our thoughts any traits and sexual identity, but nevertheless this
Substance
is at the same time all of these and none of these.
The main characters are three, but only one of them always exists as in manifestation, and without it - it's the Matter (Mother). The other two - Spirit and Soul present only when the Absolute is "awakened". Their birth is just marking the beginning of the new Day of God.
When Absolute manifests itself, the hidden
before idea becomes visible - the Spirit is born. The Spirit - is a manifestation of the Creator's Mind.
The
Spirit -
is a
characteristic feature of Matter in the developmental state, its distinguishing feature. It’s the Second Aspect of the Absolute. The Matter – is a Spatial Tissue, and the Spirit - is the ability of this Tissue to think, realize, bring forth ideas.
The Spirit – is the changed state of Matter. It’s something like
"vibration", "waterhole" on the surface of the Matter.
We can try to find other words to describe this kind of condition, but
you should be aware in fact, that any of them does not characterize the Spirit
correctly, and genuinely the Spirit is not this. It's just images, allegories.
The Spirit, the Male Principle, arising out from the Women's, from the
Matter, it's her First-born Son.
The Creator - is the One God, which was Chaos and Darkness,
when it was unmanifested.
The scientific name for the Power Center, for the Soul - is an elementary particle.
You can also use the word "Atom".
However, it's not the atom of physicist or chemist, which is a conglomeration
of particles, namely, the truly indivisible object.
The Soul in which emerges the Spirit - is the Dragon of Wisdom, or serpent
biting its own tail. The last expression very accurately describes the
process that takes place in each separate particle.
Another name for the Serpent - Kundalini,
which translates from Sanskrit as "Folded
ring", "Curled up in
the form of snake".
Kundalini - it is the
same serpent, "devouring" itself. Dragon of Wisdom, the Serpent,
Kundalini - it's all the Soul.
Another very commonly used name for the elementary structural units - is the
Fire.
The Spirit manifested in Matter - is Fire. While the Matter (substance) in the unmanifested state -
is Water.
Another synonym for the elementary particle – is a "Wheel".
The Spirit manifested in Matter is in occultism the "Movement" or otherwise "Breath" Any Wheel, i.e. any
elementary particle - is the Spirit that moves
not in space but in time (trough time) - born, for some time existing
in this phenomenal world and then collapsing.
This is the rotating serpent. It comes from the source - from the Silent
Witness (as in the Stanzas of Dzyan the Matter is) - make the "Circle through Time" and then
"go back" to the original source that emits it - back to the Matter.
02. THE
ACT OF CREATION (SHORT VERSION)
The First Aspect of Creator – the Matter – is the Primal
Substance, the Virgin Mother (Virgin Mary, Maya, Isis, Eve).
It produces in itself and from itself the Second Aspect - Father, Spirit, Light, Mind, Thought, Fire,
Mahat, Buddhi, Christ, Buddha, Osiris, Energy, Power, thermogen, Fohat,
Purusha, Ether, Astral Light ... The list of synonyms is long enough.
The Spirit in the Matter is not in the passive state. She gives birth to
him. And then he becomes her son-brother-husband.
She "shall come" with him in the union, and together they form the
whole manifested Universe.
The Universe consists of Souls - elementary particles.
Mother and Father, Water
and Fire manifest together in
the Building Blocks, Seven Principles,
Ah-hi, Seven Rishis, Seven Brothers,
Seven Sons, Seven Sephiroth, that are seven main types of existing in
the Universe elementary particles.
They should also be called as Monads, Atoms.
Other names for them: Wheels,
Circles, Kundalini, Chakras, Snakes, biting their own tails, Dragons
of Wisdom, Bindu.
The word "Wheel" very accurately reflects the mechanism of manifestation. The Spirit rotates in the
Matter (through time) – it
is born and disappears. This is a Wheel, a Soul,
a whirlwind, a spirillum, a power center.
The Soul – is the
Spirit rotated
in the Matter.
And the Spirit - is
an altered state of Matter, a sort of "Ripple", "Vibrations",
although, of course, it's not a ripple or
vibration.
The Spirit - is the Voice,
the Logos, the Word, the Breath,
the Movement.
Shiva, Brahma-Vishnu – is the Hindu
Trimurti.
Shiva - is the Mother,
Brahma
– is the Father, the Spirit, and Vishnu - is the
Soul.
03. THE
MATTER
IS THE FIRST ASPECT OF THE ABSOLUTE (THE THINKING SUBSTANCE)
The Matter - is the first aspect of
the Absolute, the first side of the Cosmic Substance, which is revealed to us
as we try to understand its nature.
The
Matter - is an indication of the material reality of God, that the Space is not
empty.
Often
in occultism we equate the Matter to the Absolute.
Only
the Matter is always present and in whatever state of the Creator - and
unmanifested and manifested - and lies at the center of everything.
In
the religious treatises unmanifested Absolute is often identified with the
Mother and is presented as the Virgin Mother (Virgin Egg). The Feminine Origin is
deprived of the Masculine.
“The
Eternal Parent wrapped in her Ever-Invisible Robes, had slumbered once again
for Seven Eternities” (E. Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine 1, Book Dzyan, Stanza
1.1).
The
Matter, the Spirit and the Soul merge into a whole one at each point of the
Manifested Absolute.
They
are the faces of the Creator, its aspects.
Three
aspects of the Absolute – these are three of its faces, the three parts with
which help we can look at each of its points.
The
Matter - is the Spatial Tissue itself.
The
Spirit - is an idea that arises in this Tissue.
And
the Soul - this is the sphere in which the Spirit appears and disappears.
The word Tao - this is another name for the Space. Valery Pereleshin
translated the word "Tao" as "Truth".
There
was something vague in the distance,
Arose
before Heaven and Earth:
It
is inaudible and can not be seen,
All
in the world is full by this forever.
It's
- the Beginning of the Heaven and the Earth.
The
universe emerged from it,
And there
the mother of life lies.
Who will
this mother
in the dark can find,
Will
know in this time with her the children yet.
And
who at first will understand her kids,
Immediacy
the mother will, and she
Is
immortal and full of itself.
I
would not know name for it,
But
I named her by the Truth.
Is
it easy to describe its nature?
Great,
movable and alive,
Is
not available for cognition, and is easily lost.
And
only truth and sky so great...".
Tao is called the Truth.
It’s the synonym of the Absolute, the One
Reality. The Truth - is Matter - "the mother of being", "mother in the darkness" (Matter, Darkness).
There
is “an Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless and Immutable PRINCIPLE,
on which all speculations are impossible, since it transcends the power of human conception
and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude. It
is beyond the range and reach of thought -- in the words of Mandukya, "unthinkable and unspeakable” (HPB, The Secret Doctrine; Vol. 1, page 14).
Darkness, Water, Chaos, the One
Reality, Primordial Depth Mulaprakriti Rootless Root, the Virgin Mother, the
Substance-Principle, Svabhavat, Oeaohoo, Kali Hamsa, Water of Life, Absolute,
Space, Truth, Primordial Mother giving
birth, Limitless All, Eternal Not-Being,
Limitless Circle, Zero, World womb, Virgin Egg, Ein-Sof, Gaia, Devamatri, World
Root, Not-Number.
That’s not all the definitions
that there are, only a certain percentage of them.
The Absolute in the
unmanifested state is characterized by the fact that the Matter and the Spirit
in it exist as a single whole. It is the One Matter-Spirit.
The Intelligent Plastic
Substance-Principle exists as Svabhava - "independent",
"per se".
“That central
Reality can be called by any name that man may choose
according to his mental or emotional bent, racial tradition and heritage, for
it cannot be defined or
conditioned by names. Human beings perforce always use names in order to express that
which they sense, feel and know,
both of the phenomenal and also
of the intangible” (Alice Bailey, The Reappearance of the
Christ, Chapter 6 ).
Maya, giving the birth to the Buddha and Mary
- the mother of Jesus Christ – are the symbolic representation of the Matter,
the first hypostasis of God.
And Buddha and Christ can be
seen as images of the Soul, the Son. The Father of Soul, of Son is the Spirit.
Another name of Maya – is an Illusion.
Ancient Egyptian Isis, the sister and wife of Osiris - it is also a
symbol of the Matter. The Substance got married to her brother - the Spirit,
the God Osiris. Gore – the child of Isis and Osiris - is the Soul.
Ancient Greek Rhea, wife and sister of Cronos – is an expression
for the Matter too.
Cronos and Rhea – are the Titans, the children of Uranus and Gaia.
Gaia and Uranus - Earth and Sky – are the Matter and Spirit, taken
outside the manifested state.
While Cronos and Rhea - it's
all the same, the Matter and the Spirit involved in the process of formation of
the Universe and the "birth of the Olympian gods". Olympus in this
case symbolizes all our Universe, entire world around us. Olympian gods - are
the building principals.
Any God of Time, such as, Zeroana-Arkan,
is the Spirit that uses Matter as a basis for manifesting.
Cronos as a symbol of the
Spirit devours its children born by Rhea. The mechanical functioning of every
Building Block of the Universe based on the destruction of Impulse
Manifestation occurring after his birth on this.
In Hinduism we see with such
concepts as Prakriti and Purusha. It's all the same Matter
and Spirit, serving by reason for the appearance in the original substance the
visibility, i.e. the Soul.
"Fiery Fish of Life"
- is also Matter, "fertilized" with the Spirit.
"So say the ancient Comments on Stanza IV.
Mother is the
fiery Fish of Life. It spawns and Breath (Motion) heats
and develops it. Grain (Caviar)
soon attracted to each other,
forming clots in the Ocean (Space) " ("The
Secret Doctrine", Volume 1, H.
P. Blavatsky).
"Breath", "Movement" in this quote symbolizes the Spirit, the Father, the second aspect of the Creator. "Grains", "Caviar",
"Clots" - are Souls,
elementary particles.
You can find still many
synonyms for Mother, where the Spirit manifests, and which together generate the Soul – the third
hypostasis of God.
“To render these ideas clearer to the general reader, let him set out with the postulate that there is One
Absolute Reality which antecedes all manifested, conditioned,
being. This Infinite and Eternal
Cause -- dimly formulated
in the "Unconscious"
and "Unknowable" of
current European philosophy --
is the Rootless Root of "all that was, is, or ever
shall be”. It is of course devoid
of all attributes and is essentially without any relation to ...
It is "Be-ness"
rather than Being (in Sanskrit, Sat), and is beyond all
thought or speculation ("The Secret Doctrine", Volume 1, Proem, H. P. Blavatsky).
This is "Absolute Abstract Space, representing bare subjectivity, the one thing which no human mind can either exclude from
any conception, or conceive of by itself" ("The Secret Doctrine", Volume 1, Proem, HP Blavatsky).
In
spite of the fact that in occultism there is often made a distinction between
the Creator in passive and active states, yet it is the same Creator, the one
and the same Universal Creative
Substance endowed with the Mind.
When
this substance is actively manifested, we judge about presence in it the
Thought precisely on this indirect cause – by arising a Changed State of
Matter, which in occultism is the Spirit and the Soul.
At
the same time we do not recognize and can’t say anything about the Absolute,
which is creatively not active.
But,
nevertheless, there are no the different Creators (realities), there are only
different in their conditions. We
should remember this always.
The Matter is identified with that Primordial Depth,
Original Chaos, with Water and Darkness, from which the Light
(Soul, Energy) was born.
It’s
the Matter, without the Spirit manifested in her (Ideation of the Universe)
that forms Souls, is all the same
“Unconscious” and “Unknown” “Ever Reason” about we talk when speak about the Unmanifested
Space.
The
Birth of this Universe which appears as a result of merging Matter and Spirit
is a “Union of Water and Fire” where the Water is the Origin Basis by itself,
i.e. the Matter. And the Fire – is the Soul, the result of manifestation of the
Spirit in the Matter.
The
Substance in the Unmanifested state – this is the well-known for us the Virgin
Matter, the Virgin Mary.
The
Matter gave birth to the husband in herself (who is the first son at the same
time) – the Spirit (Thought-image of the Universe).
The Absolute in Unmanifested state – this is the
Matter (but more accurately the Mother-Father).
“The Eternal Parent wrapped in her Ever-Invisible
Robes” (Stanza 1) – it’s Mulaprakriti, Root-Matter, if to translate from
Sanskrit.
“Parabrahm (the One
Reality, the Absolute) is the field
of Absolute Consciousness, i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned
existence, and of which conscious
existence is a conditioned
symbol. But once that we pass in thought from this (to us)
Absolute Negation, duality supervenes in the contrast of Spirit (or consciousness)
and Matter, Subject and Object” (E.P. Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).
“Spirit (or Consciousness)
and Matter are, however, to be regarded, not as independent
realities, but as the two facets or aspects of the Absolute
(Parabrahm), which constitute
the basis of conditioned Being whether subjective
or objective” (E.P. Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).
The prefix "Para"
in Sanskrit means a reference to something that is outside of something beyond
this. Brahman, in turn, is a synonym for Ideation, Spirit, Mind,
which is a characteristic feature of Substance of Matter. That is, as you can
see, in this case, Parabrahm - is in some way a reference to the second aspect
of the Creator - on its reasonableness. This means that for One Reality, even
in its passive state, has two characteristics - materiality (Matter) and the
ability to think (Spirit).
"Alpha
and Omega" ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).
“Spirit (or consciousness)
and Matter are, however, to be regarded, not as independent
realities, but as the two facets or aspects of the Absolute
(Parabrahm), which constitute
the basis of conditioned Being whether subjective
or objective” ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).
“Parabrahm is not "God,"
because It is not a God. … IT is "Supreme" as CAUSE, not supreme as
effect. Parabrahm is simply, as a "Secondless
Reality" the all-inclusive Cosmos -- or, rather, the infinite Cosmic Space -- in the
highest spiritual sense, of course” ("The Secret Doctrine", 1, Proem).
“Darkness alone filled the Boundless
All” (Stanza 1.5). Both these phrases are definitions-synonyms.
“Eternal
Non-Being - the One Being” (Stanza 1.7).
“Alone,
the One Form of Existence stretched boundless, infinite, causeless, in
Dreamless Sleep” (Stanza 1.8). In this quote, and in the next it
indicates on the Universe in unmanifested (inactive) state.
“Darkness alone was Father-Mother, Svabhâvat; and
Svabhâvat was in Darkness” (Stanza 2.5).
“The Divine Thought and the
Divine Bosom” (Stanza 2.6). The Spirit – is the Divine Thought, and the Matter – is the
Divine Bosom.

the Stanza 1.1).
“Mulaprakriti, the “root-Principle”, “the primordial

or Maha-Manvantara, and in which they rest during the succeeding period of repose”
("The Secret Doctrine", 1, comment for
the Stanza 1.6).
Paranishpana –
is at the same time direction to the state in which there is the Unmanifested
Substance. But this concept can be considered as direction on the inwardness of
that we name the One.

Ein
Sof - (Hebrew), the eternal state of Being, incomprehensible principle, supreme deity, the absolute.
It’s possible to open it only through the process of eliminating all its perceived attributes in a specific order. Being undetectable the Absolute pervades all space. Abstracted to the point of incomprehensibility, Ein Sof is the unlimited state of all things. The substances, essence and minds appear from the elusive Ein Sof, but the Absolute is devoid of substantiality, the nature and reasonableness. Kabbalists call it the oldest of the oldest and always viewed asexual. The round, the true emblem of eternity symbolizes the
nature of Ein Sof. Synonyms: Ensof, Ayn Sof.
Gaia (Earth) – is the ancient Greek goddess, wife of Uranus, who before becoming his wife has created her future husband. And this is a direct indication to the
procreation by the first aspect - by the Matter – of the second - the Spirit, and after they had connected and formed all that is in this Universe.
04.
SPIRIT, FATHER,
LIGHT, FIRE, MIND, LOGOS, THOUGHT, CHRIST, OSIRIS, BUDDHA, ENERGY, ETHER, AKASHA, IMPULSE, FOHAT
And
now, when we are a little acquainted with the first aspect of the
God-Absolute-Matter, let’s proceed to its second aspect – to the Spirit.
In previous,
introductory articles we enough told about the nature of the Spirit. So here we
need to repeat some general moments. And also we will make a list of synonym of
esoteric phrases related just to the second Aspect of the Creative Substance.
Here we turn
again to the treatise of Lao Ttzu “Tao te Ching” to remember
that “Truth” (Tao) – it’s the Matter.
The Matter
“gives birth to One” – to the Spirit.
“Two have
appeared from One” – two opposite directed processes taking place in every
elementary particle – the birth of the Spirit and its disappearance.
The birth of the
Spirit – it’s a spiritual origin, Yin, Brahma, Rajas.
The disappearance
of the Spirit – it’s a material origin, Yin, Shiva, Tamas.
“From Two are
formed the Three” – two origins – spiritual and material – are merged in every
particle which is the third principle – Sattva, Vishnu, Soul, the Union of
Matter and Spirit.
And now let’s speak
about the Spirit.
The Spirit - is
the Second Aspect of the Absolute.
An aspect – is
the view on some object or phenomenon.
The Spirit -
it’s a Perturbation in the Space, with some special way changing it. What is
the Perturbation and how it happens – for us it’s a secret.
The Spirit - is
Information nascent in elementary particles and dying in them.
The Spirit from
the point of view of occultism it’s the First-born Son of the Virgin Mother,
the Matter which then becomes her “Husband”, and together they spawn the Third
Aspect – all multitude of the Universe forms.
But actually and
the Spirit and the Soul – are just another state of the Intellectual Substance,
inside of which we inhabit.
The Spirit – it’s a temporary creation in the
Matter. The Soul is its continuation and concrete manifestation, also
temporary. And the Spirit and the Soul
are temporary as opposite to the constant Space where they manifest. It’s
first.
And second, the
chain of changing which we name the “time” is inherent exactly to the Spirit
and the Soul.
The Soul – it’s
the same Spirit enclosed in a sphere.
In every Soul is
taking place the rotation of the Spirit through the time.
All this said
and repeat with the purpose to tell you that any God of Time in literature is
nothing but the Symbol of Time and personification of Spirit and Soul –
inconstant principle of the Universe.
In the Stanzas
of the Book Dzyan it is said: “The Ray shoots through the
Virgin Egg, the Ray causes the Eternal Egg to thrill, and drop the non-eternal
Germ, which condenses into the World-Egg” (Stanza 3.3).
The
Ray – it’s the Ray of Light, and Light as is known the synonym of the Spirit.
“The non-eternal
Germ” – it’s the totality of elementary particles (Souls). The word
“non-eternal” indicates on the inconstancy of existence the manifested
Universe. In the Stanzas the definition “Eternal Non-being” is used for the
Substance itself. Here also leave that
the Time from the occult point of view it’s the symbol of Spirit and Soul. Any
Soul (chakra, particle) – it’s a Circle, Round, Ring of Time.
And now let’s go
to the list of synonyms of occult and spiritual definitions, with the help of
which the thinkers and meditative visionaries of different times and nations
characterized and named the Second Hypostasis of the Creator. In the given
quotes these definitions will use bold italic.
“Universal Mind was not, for there were no
Ah-hi to contain it” (Stanza 1.3).
We
have begun from the Universal Mind. This is one of the definitions for the
Second Hypostasis of God, the Spirit. Ah-hi – these are elementary particles,
Souls. As we will say in the next
articles, the Spirit saturates elementary particles –we can say that they
contain him.
“Her
Heart had not yet opened for the One Ray to enter” (Stanza 2.4).
The
One Ray – it’s one of the synonyms of the Spirit.
“The
Universe was still concealed in the Divine Thought and the Divine
Bosom” (Stanza 2.6).
The
Divine Thought and the Divine Bosom – are the symbols of the Spirit and the
Matter, the Male and the Female Principles.
“Darkness radiates Light, and Light
drops one solitary Ray into the Waters, into the Mother-Deep. The Ray
shoots through the Virgin Egg, the Ray causes the Eternal Egg to thrill, and
drop the non-eternal Germ, which condenses into the World-Egg” (Stanza 3.3).
We
have just spoken about what is the Light and what is the Ray.
“The Root of Life was in every
Drop of the Ocean of Immortality, and the Ocean was Radiant Light, which
was Fire, and Heat, and Motion” (Stanza 3.6).
The
Ocean of Immortality, the Radiant Light, Fire, Heat and Motion – these are all
the synonyms of the Spirit. The definition “the Ocean of Immortality” is used probably
because the Spirit is like the Phoenix constantly restores in every Soul.
“Light is Cold Flame, and Flame is Fire, and
Fire produces Heat, which yields Water - The Water of Life in the Great Mother”
(Stanza 3.9).
The Water – is
the symbol of the Matter, Female Origin. But the phrase “The Water of Life” – it’s
just the definition of the Spirit, the Male Origin.
“Then Svabhâvat send Fohat to
harden the Atoms. Each is a part of the Web” (Stanza 3.12).
Fohat – it’s a synonym
of the Spirit, the Father. Fohat – it’s the Spirit that flows through the Atoms
(Souls).
It fills the
Atoms and by this way makes them solid in relation to each other.
“…who are born from the
Primordial Flame” (Stanza 4.2).
The Primordial
Flame – it’s one more synonym for the Second Aspect.
“From the Effulgence of Light -
the Ray of the Ever-Darkness” (Stanza 4.3).
The
Ray of Light – the Spirit – is born from the Darkness, i.e. from the Mother,
Matter.
“The Army of the Voice,
the Divine Mother of the Seven” (Stanza 4.4).
Curiously that
in this case the Voice, aka the Spirit, we call it with the female name – the
Divine Mother.
“The Adi-Sanat, the Number, for
he is One” (Stanza 4.5).
In the occult
texts the Matter has the name “Non-Number”, while the Spirit – the Number or
the One.
As the Spirit – is the first
differentiation of the Matter and the Spirit by
itself does not form shapes –
particles – it just fills them.
The Spirit is called the One
Element, the Fifth Element, as it
is everywhere in the Universe.
"…the One, the Eight left out,
and his Breath which is the Light-Maker" (Stanza 4.5).
The Eighth Son – this is the
Firstborn of the Mother-Matter,
her Husband-Son-Brother, that is,
the Father.
In fact, breathing is not
of the Father, but of the Mother. The
Breathing is the Spirit,
the Father, and the Light.
"They make of him the Messenger
of their Will. The Dzyu becomes Fohat: the swift Son of the Divine Sons,
whose Sons are the Lipika, runs circular errands. Fohat is the Steed, and the
Thought is the Rider.
He
passes like lightning through the fiery clouds"(Stanza
5.2).
In fact, Fohat and
Thought – are the same. The difference between them is only in that the Thought –
is the Spirit in a general sense while Fohat
– is the Spirit rotating
in a "spiral
vortex" through time in the Atoms (Lipikas).
The Divine Sons –
are Lipikas, Souls.
“He
lifts his Voice, and calls the innumerable Sparks, and joins them together. He
is their guiding spirit and leader.”(Stanzas
5.2; 5.3).
We again speak
about the Spirit.
“1. By
the power of the Mother of Mercy and Knowledge, Kwan-Yin - the Triple of Kwan -
Shai-Yin, residing in Kwan -Yin –Tien –
Fohat, the Breath of their Progeny,the Son of the Sons, having called
forth, from the Lower Abyss, the Illusive Form of Sien --Tchan and the Seven
Elements.
2. The
Swift and the Radiant One produces the seven Laya Centres, against which none
will prevail to the Great Day "Be With Us"; and seats the Universe on
these Eternal Foundations, surrounding Sien-Tchan with the Elementary Germs.” (Stanza 6.1).
"When the One becomes Two" (Stanza 7.3).
The One – is the Absolute in the unmanifested state, the Matter, devoid of any signs of differentiation.
"The
One becomes Two"
means that the Matter has generated
the Second Principle – the Spirit.
"The Spark hangs from the Flame
by the finest thread of Fohat" (Stanza 7.5).
Here we are talking about the mechanism of Creation, as a result of which there occurs the manifestation of the Spirit in Matter.
The Spark – is an elementary particle, the
Soul.
The Flame – it is the Spirit.
"The finest thread of Fohat" – is the same as the Antahkarana or
the Ray of the Light. This is the
Flow of the Spirit, of Ether, moving
through the Sparks (elementary particles).
“From the First-born the Thread
between the Silent Watcher and his Shadow becomes more strong and radiant with
every Change. The morning Sunlight has changed into noonday glory....” (Stanza
7.6).
In this quotation we speak about the same
as in the previous
one – about the mechanism of Manifestation. First-born – is the
Father, the Spirit.
The Silent Watcher – is the Substance, the Matter, his Shadow – it's the Soul, elementary
particle.
The
Thread from the Firstborn – it's the same thing
as the "thread of Fohat".
We list a number of
synonyms for all
the major of the Second Person of
the Trinity – for the Spirit, the Father that we may find
in the studying of occult,
religious and scientific literature.

The Spirit, the Second Aspect, in
the process of manifestation forms the Ring
(Circle, Wheel)
in every elementary particle (each soul) and rotates.
But not in space but in time (through
time) – it is born and disappears, is born and disappears.
When we are talking about
the Spirit, rotating in the particles, we often
use for it other definitions,
rather than when we talk about it in
a general sense.
For example, Fohat – this is the Spirit, rotating and making the Atoms
solid.
Serpent, Dragon, Kundalini, Ray of Light, Rope of Angel,s
Antahkarana, Bridge, linking the Spirit
with the Soul, Arkan
of Spirit, Sutrama, the Thread of
Life, The thread of Fohat,
the Thread of the Firstborn – it's all definitions for the same Spirit, but in a particular way, considered in
relation to individual elementary particle.
“…the
'Breath which is eternal.' It proceeds from without inwardly, when it is everywhere, and from within
outwardly, when it is nowhere -- (i.e., maya, one of the
centres). It expands and contracts (exhalation and inhalation)” (Catechism of the occult, taken from “The Secret Doctrine” by HP
Blavatsky).
“…absolute
Abstract Motion representing Unconditioned Consciousness.
Even our Western thinkers have shown that Consciousness is inconceivable to us apart from change, and motion best symbolizes change, its
essential characteristic. This latter aspect of the one
Reality, is also symbolized
by the term "The Great Breath," a symbol sufficiently graphic to need no further elucidation. (“The Secret Doctrine” by HP Blavatsky, Prologue).
“This something,
at present unknown to Western speculation, is called by the occultists Fohat. It is the "bridge" by which the "Ideas" existing
in the "Divine Thought"
are impressed on Cosmic substance as the "laws of Nature. Fohat is
thus the dynamic energy of Cosmic Ideation; or, regarded from the other side, it is the intelligent medium, the guiding power of all manifestation, the "Thought Divine" transmitted and
made manifest through the
Dhyan-Chohans, the Architects of the visible World. Thus from Spirit,
or Cosmic Ideation, comes our consciousness; from Cosmic Substance the several vehicles in which that consciousness is individualized and attains to self — or reflective
— consciousness; while Fohat,
in its various manifestations, is the mysterious link
between Mind and Matter, the animating
principle electrifying every atom into life.” (“Secret
Doctrine”, Blavatsky, Prologue).

“The "fire," "heat," and

In our opinion, the fire and the heat of physical science -
this is fire and heat of the occult
– i.e. the second aspect of God.
“Even in the mind-baffling and
science-harassing Genesis, light is created out of darkness
"and darkness was upon the face of the deep" (ch. i. v. 2.) — and not
vice versa. "In
him (in darkness) was life; and the life was the light of men" (John i. 4). A day may come when the eyes
of men will be opened; and then they may comprehend better than they do now,
that verse in the Gospel of John that says "And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehendeth it not." They will see
then that the word "darkness" does not apply to man's spiritual
eyesight, but indeed to "Darkness," the absolute, that comprehendeth
not (cannot cognize) transient light, however transcendent to human eyes. Demon est Deus inversus. The devil is now
called Darkness by the Church, whereas, in the Bible he is called the "Son
of God" (see Job), the bright star of the early morning,
Lucifer
(see Isaiah). There is a whole philosophy of dogmatic craft in the reason why
the first Archangel, who sprang from the depths of Chaos, was called Lux
(Lucifer), the "Luminous Son of the Morning," or man vantaric Dawn.
He was transformed by the Church into Lucifer or Satan, because he is higher
and older than Jehovah, and had to be sacrificed to the new dogma. (See Book
II.)” (" The Secret Doctrine ", 1, Commentary on Stanza 3.6).
“Kwan-Shai-Yin is identical with, and
an equivalent of the Sanskrit Avalôkitêshwara, and as such he is an androgynous
deity, like the Tetragrammaton and all the Logoi* of antiquity. It is only by some sects
in China that he is anthropomorphized and represented with female attributes,† when, under his female aspect, he
becomes Kwan-Yin, the goddess of mercy, called the "Divine Voice."”
("The Secret Doctrine", 1 Comment Stanza
3.7).
“"The "Dragon of Wisdom"
is the One, the "Eka" (Sanskrit) or Saka. It is curious that Jehovah's
name in Hebrew should also be One, Echod. "His name is
Echod": say the Rabbins. The philologists ought to decide which of the two
is derived from the other—linguistically and symbolically: surely, not the
Sanskrit? The "One" and the Dragon are expressions used by the ancients
in connection with their respective Logoi. Jehovah — esoterically (as Elohim) —
is also the Serpent or Dragon that tempted Eve, and the "Dragon" is
an old glyph for "Astral Light" (Primordial Principle), "which
is the Wisdom of Chaos."” ("The Secret Doctrine",
1, Commentary on Stanza 3.7).
“The primitive symbol of the serpent symbolised divine
Wisdom and Perfection, and had always stood for psychical Regeneration and
Immortality. Hence — Hermes, calling the serpent the most spiritual of all
beings; Moses,
initiated in the wisdom of Hermes, following suit in Genesis; the Gnostic's
Serpent with the seven vowels over its head, being the emblem of the seven
hierarchies of the Septenary or Planetary Creators. Hence, also, the Hindu
serpent Sesha or Ananta, "the Infinite," a name of Vishnu, whose
first Vahan or vehicle on the primordial waters is this serpent. Like the logoi and the Hierarchies of Powers, however, the
"Serpents" have to be distinguished one from the other. Sesha or
Ananta, "the couch of Vishnu," is an allegorical abstraction,
symbolizing infinite Time in Space, which contains the germ and throws off
periodically the efflorescence of this germ, the manifested Universe; whereas, the gnostic Ophis contained
the same triple symbolism in its seven vowels as the One, Three and
Seven-syllabled Oeaohoo of the Archaic doctrine; i.e., the One
Unmanifested Logos, the Second manifested, the triangle concreting into the
Quaternary or Tetragrammaton, and the rays of the latter on the material plane.”
(" The Secret Doctrine ", 1, Commentary on
Stanza 3.7).
"In the Book of Hermes 'Pymander'
oldest and most spiritual
of the Logoi of
the western continent, appears
to Hermes in the form of the Fire Dragon of" Light, Fire and Flame. "Pymander, personified
"Divine Thought", says: "The
light - it is I, I am the Nous (mind or Manu),
I am a God, I'm a
lot older than the human element
coming from the shadows (darkness,
or in the Deity), I am the germ of thought, resplendent Word, the Son of God. All
that because he sees and hears
in you, there is a verb Teachers. It - Thought (Mahat) which is
God the Father. Heavenly Ocean, Ether ...
is the Breath of the Father - the life-giving Home,
Mother - the Holy Spirit ... for they are
inseparable and their fusion is the Life "(" The Secret Doctrine ", 1, taken from the Commentary on Stanza 3.7).

the "Host of the Logos," or the "WORD" of the Sepher
Jezirah, called in the Secret Doctrine "the One Number issued from

Commentary on Stanza 4.4).
“Fohat is closely related to the "ONE LIFE."
From the Unknown One, the Infinite TOTALITY, the manifested ONE, or the
periodical, Manvantaric Deity, emanates; and this is the Universal Mind, which,
separated from its Fountain-Source, is the Demiurgos or the creative Logos of
the Western Kabalists”
(" The Secret Doctrine
", 1, Commentary on Stanza 5.2).
“Fohat, then, is the personified electric vital power, the transcendental
binding Unity of all Cosmic Energies, on the unseen as on the manifested
planes, the action of which resembles — on an immense scale — that of a living
Force created by WILL, in those phenomena where the seemingly subjective acts
on the seemingly objective and propels it to action. Fohat is not only the
living Symbol and Container of that Force, but is looked upon by the
Occultists as an Entity — the forces he acts upon being cosmic, human and
terrestrial, and exercising their influence on all those planes respectively.
On the earthly plane his influence is felt in the magnetic and
active force generated by the strong desire of the magnetizer. On the
Cosmic, it is present in the constructive power that carries out, in the
formation of things — from the planetary system down to the glow-worm and
simple daisy — the plan in the mind of nature, or in the Divine Thought, with
regard to the development and growth of that special thing. He
is, metaphysically, the objectivised thought of the gods; the "Word made
flesh," on a lower scale, and the messenger of Cosmic and human ideations:
the active force in Universal Life. In his secondary aspect, Fohat is the Solar
Energy, the electric vital fluid,* and the preserving fourth principle, the
animal Soul of Nature, so to say, or—Electricity.” (" The Secret Doctrine ", 1, Commentary on
Stanza 5.2).

"Energy," may be a better name for it” ("The Secret Doctrine", 1 Comment Stanza 5.2).

on Earth, of the ONE FLAME. It is Life and Death, the origin and the end of

Commentary to Stanza 5.4).
“…the personal
Ego and the impersonal
Self, the Noumenon and Parent-Source” ("The
Secret Doctrine", 1, Commentary on Stanza 5.6).
“…in Occult metaphysics there are, properly speaking,
two "ONES" —
the One on the unreachable plane of Absoluteness and Infinity, on which no
speculation is possible, and the Second "One" on the plane of
Emanations. The former can neither emanate nor be divided, as it is eternal,
absolute, and immutable. The Second, being, so to speak, the
reflection of the first One (for it is the Logos, or Iswara, in the Universe of
Illusion)” (" The
Secret Doctrine ", 1 Comment Stanza 5.6).
“As well said in the Bhagavadgita Lectures, "The whole Kosmos must
necessarily exist in the One Source of energy from which this light (Fohat)
emanates." Whether we count the principles in Kosmos and man as seven
or only as four, the forces of, and in, physical Nature are Seven; and it is
stated by the same authority that "Pragna, or the
capacity of perception, exists in seven different aspects corresponding to the
seven conditions of matter" (Personal and impersonal God). For,
"just as a human being is composed of seven principles, differentiated
matter in the Solar System exists in seven different conditions" (ibid).
So does Fohat. He is One and Seven, and on the Cosmic plane is
behind all such manifestations as light, heat, sound, adhesion, etc., etc., and
is the "spirit" of ELECTRICITY, which is the LIFE
of the Universe. As an abstraction, we call it the ONE LIFE;
as an objective and evident Reality, we speak of a septenary scale of
manifestation, which begins at the upper rung with the One Unknowable CAUSALITY,
and ends as Omnipresent Mind and Life immanent in every atom of Matter. Thus,
while science speaks of its evolution through brute matter, blind force, and
senseless motion, the Occultists point to intelligent LAW
and sentient LIFE, and add that Fohat is the guiding Spirit of
all this." ("The Secret Doctrine", 1 Comment Stanza 6.2).
05. THE SPACE IS CREATOR. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN NEWTON AND EINSTEIN
06. THE SPIRIT – IS ETHER, ENERGY, INFORMATION. THE SOUL - IS AN
ELEMENTARY
PARTICLE.
07. THE SOUL – IS THE
THIRD
HYPOSTASIS. THE
MECHANISM OF
MANIFESTATION (CREATION).
05. THE SPACE IS CREATOR. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN NEWTON AND EINSTEIN
If you will deeply thought about the significance of the word “Space” you
will have to admit that practically impossible to say about it something
definite and really explain what it is.
Such words as “emptiness”, “vacuum”, “infinity”, “Universe” or something
of the sort will come to mind.
Agree it’s not easy for the human to talk about what is empty for him
(her) – invisibly, unheard, impalpable, without taste and smell, while all around us we can touch,
see, hear, scent and taste.
As a result, in the minds of most people, the space has always been no
more than an endless volume of emptiness where there is our world and we - in
other words, something non-existent.
The thinkers of philosophy and science have spent a good deal of time and
effort trying to discover the relations between the space and all the objects
in it.
Sure, originally the scientists are mainly interested in the space from a
practical point of view. Even in ancient times people had experienced a need to
know the distance between the bodies as accurately as possible.
A distance measurement is a measurement in the space. For this purpose
there is geometry, the basis of which was laid in III century before Christ by
Euclid. He considered the space as “emptiness”. From his point of view it is
isotropy, homogeneous and limitless.
For realization of distance measurements it was needed to Euclid only
three coordinates as opposite to the multitudes following of the Einstein
physics, for whom it’s not enough three and they brought down on us yet the
fourth coordinate (dimension), fifth, sixth and so on. What are they for?
Hereinafter the scientific views on this question became all more to
approach to the philosophical.
In this
scientific-philosophical synthesis we view the space everywhere together with
other category – “time”. For them there was contra posed the “Matter” or
otherwise “material objects”.
In the history
of philosophy there are two concepts describing the relation to each other of
the space (and the time) and objects in it.
We name one of them as substantial, and other – as
relational.
Disagreement
with each other of these concepts is directly connected with the scientific
dispute of the classic mechanics and relativistic. This scientific debate we can
call as the “dispute of Newton and Einstein extended through the time”.
The basis of classical
mechanic is the substantial concept according to this the space (and the time)
exists by itself, regardless of the objects located inside this space.
I. Newton
supposed that the space where we live is like the forever existing,
unrestrictedly large, fixed “box” without sides – the container of the Matter.
The properties of this "box" do not change over time and do not
depend on how the substance distributes and redistributes in it.
Isaac Newton
The Space of Newton and Euclid is not able to shrink and stretch – i.e. to curve. Therefore, in this space the shortest distance between two points - is always a straight line and not a curve.
The relational concept (hence the similar name) lies in the framework of relativistic mechanics. Proponents of this view consider that the "space" is
produced by the objects existing in it.
The space of A. Einstein can bent (contract and
expand) and
it is a non-Euclidean (or in other words a
non-Newtonian).
Albert Einstein
In such
non-Euclidean space the shortest distances between points, the segments must constantly bend, and the distances between points must increase than decrease.
Einstein connected gravity with the compression of space, and the acceleration or deceleration of time with a degree of curvature of space. The more it is compressing and the more weight at this point, the slower time passes there. The more extended and less weight at this point - the faster it flows the time.
We share the conviction of the first concept - the substantial and, so are increasingly proponents of classical mechanics, not relativistic.
We consider that
the space does
not disappear, if vanish all existing objects in it.
In addition, we believe that space is not compressed and expanded. These properties are inherent only in the substance.
But at the same time, we must acknowledge
that the
relational concept
of relativistic mechanics has lifted on a surface a very important layer of knowledge about the structure of the universe.
The only problem is that the proponents of each view describe the universe from their own points of vision.
At the same time, classical
mechanics and the substantial concept are really talking about the relationship between the space and the objects in it.
While the concept of relational and relativistic mechanics tells not about the space, but about what actually exists in it, and is one of its manifestations, namely, about the Spirit (Energy, Ether).
The fallacy of relational concept and relativistic mechanics is that they attribute to the space the property of mobility while it is actually stationary.
We can say that relativists have based on all things of the Movable, Fluid Space, while moving and flowing is the Spirit, the second aspect of the Absolute, but not the Space (Matter, Substance), First, Primal Aspect.
The merit of the same Einstein is that he came close to understanding that "something" in the space
can move in any desired direction.
Yes, that's right, "something" is "flowing" in space
and from the flowing of this "something" all processes and phenomena in the universe are depended. This "something", as has just been said, it is the Spirit.
Besides the views on space of science and philosophy, a special place among all the existing opinions occupies the Theosophical course led by Madame Blavatsky and AA Bailey.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
Master KH,
the Master Morya, Master Rakosi,
HP Blavatsky
Alice Ann Bailey
Alice Bailey
Theosophical views on this matter are such that we can attribute
them in
some extent to the substantial philosophical concept.
The difference is that the theosophists not only consider the Space as secondary to the objects of the Universe, but also give it the main role, seeing it as the first principle. While for all the objects, "moving and existing" within the
borders of
this space, the Theosophists gave the position of the second plan. For them, the objects are secondary, and the Space is primary.
We offer to your
attention a
series of quotes taken from the theosophical literature, particularly from books Blavatsky E. and A. Bailey.
“There
is one Boundless Immutable Principle; one
Absolute Reality which, antecedes all manifested conditioned Being. It is
beyond the range and reach of any human thought or expression.
The manifested Universe is contained
within this Absolute Reality
and is a conditioned symbol of
it. In the totality of this manifested
Universe, three aspects
are to be conceived.
1. The First
Cosmic Logos, impersonal
and unmanifested, the precursor of the Manifested.
2. The Second
Cosmic Logos, Spirit-Matter, Life, the Spirit
of the Universe.
3. The Third Cosmic Logos, Cosmic Ideation, the
Universal World-Soul.
From these basic creative principles, in successive gradations there
issue in in ordered sequence the numberless Universes comprising countless Manifesting Stars and Solar Systems” (Alice Bailey's "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire", pp. 32-33).
“Space is an entity and the entire "vault of heaven" (as it has been poetically called) is the
phenomenal appearance of that entity” (A. Bailey "Esoteric Astrology", page 18).
“The Ancient
Wisdom teaches that “Space is an entity” (A. Bailey" Esoteric Astrology ", page 19).
“What is that which was, is,
and will be, whether there is a Universe or not; whether there be gods or none?' asks the esoteric Senzar Catechism.
And the answer made is —SPACE” ("The Occult Catechism", taken from the Secret Doctrine by HP Blavatsky).
Theosophists gave to the space a reality. In their interpretation, it is something concrete, real, and not "empty". In their understanding the space is not "nothing", it is - "something".
Finally, we should mention
one more look at the space - the religious. The uniqueness of this view lies in its imaginary abstraction from what it really dedicated.
The theosophical literature leads us to this point of view on the space.
Actually, the Theosophical course is just intended to unify and reconcile of all existing religions in the world.
Therefore, we can assume that the theosophical literature paves the way for the reader, on the one hand, in the world of religion, and on the other - in the realm of science.
Theosophy seeks to give a scientific explanation of religious beliefs, as well as to resolve the problems and dispute the questions of
science with the help of esoteric concepts and information.
If you start to
study religious treatises, it turns out that mystically minded researchers of mysteries of Being and seekers of meaning in life always spoke about the Space. Of
course, they were well aware of what they spoke, but preferred not to call directly that about they wrote by the Space, and gave for it all sorts of names. The Space - this is the Matter, the first aspect of God. And we have already spent a lot of time trying to tell the tale of this Unknown Something.
However, we repeat and give the most famous of these names - Creator, God, Absolute, the Almighty, the World Mind, Allah, the One, "One of Whom About Naught May Be Said", One Reality, Infinite Principle, the Lord of the World, the Universe, Space, Brahman, Nothing, Eternity, Divine Unity, the Absolute Consciousness, the United Self-existing reality, the One Being, Alpha and Omega, Svabhâvat, Global Essence, the Divine Being, the Absolute Principle, Parabrahman, Reality not having a second, Comprehensive Space, Infinite One Being, Absolutely Everything, the Absolute Container of all things, the One Life, "In him we live and move and have our being", Rootless Root, Infinite and Eternal Cause, the Unconscious and the Unknowable, Mulaprakriti (Mula – the root, Prakriti – the Matter) "All in All", Pradhana, the One Eternal Element, All-ness, Causeless Cause, "Eternal Breath are unaware of itself," Apeiron, Arche.
This list we could go on and on. Minding of the need to unite the scientific outlook with the religious, we also will attribute to this list such scientific concept as a vacuum.
The striving of
Initiates poets and writers ahead of time do not disclose to immature people
all Secrets of Being and Not-Being - that's the reason for the presence in their literature the mystical cover, with which they hid from the uninitiated the very foundation of our existence.
Let us try to combine as much as possible the views of scientists and poets. This should benefit both, and others - bonding, thus, the
foundation of
the human world
view.
The Space described
by Euclid and Newton – it’s the Matter, the Primal Essence, the Infinite Constant Principle, the Absolute Reality.
We can really
compare this Unmanifested Cosmic Mind with an empty box without walls. Although in reality this "emptiness" is not empty.
This is the
foundation of the universe, its origin, the matrix. This void we can see as a
fundamental principle, "fabric", on which the manifested Universe is
painted like a pattern.
About this
Space Blavatsky and Bailey told, calling it the "entity".
This Space is really
absolute – i.e. constant, fixed and eternal. And it is "empty" in the
state of unmanifestation.
Are there
anywhere borders of the Space? Whether it comes in contact with something
similar or different from it? If are applicable to it all our human notions of
borders? To these questions we have no answers.
In relation to
Space it’s pointless to use pronouns that characterize sexual identity, as the
division into two sexes - a phenomenon unique to the plant, animal and human
organisms.
Therefore, the
space - it's not "he" or "she." The closest thing to it the
pronoun "it", but this is a convention.
To the space
in general we should not use the concepts related to sex differences. This can
be done only to the Spirit and Matter, and then symbolically.
In the state
of manifestation the Spirit flowing in the “Souls” fills the Cosmic Substance
(Matter).
Modern scientists
have largely rejected the idealistic approach to the questions of the structure
of the Universe. They reject the Creator, God as the main leading and the creative
principle of the Universe. However, in science everywhere you can find the
concept "Nature" Incomprehensible, inexplicable, omnipotent, and
semantically it is very reminiscent the religious terms "God" and
"Creator". And when the scientist says: "Laws of Nature",
it sounds like the "Word of God" in the mouth of a true believer.
Everywhere you
can find manifestations of creative activity of God (Creative Space). Each
chemical element, each elementary particle - is the result of Its incessant
"work." By observing the physical, chemical, biological and
astronomical phenomena of the world, we touch the Divine.
06. THE SPIRIT – IS ETHER, ENERGY, INFORMATION. THE SOUL - IS AN
ELEMENTARY
PARTICLE.
Let us once again look at the scheme of manifestation
of this Universe.
The Matter – is the First Cosmic Logos, that ball of unimaginable sizes that appeared in the Space; that Cosmic Egg, symbolized in the esoteric by the circle without a point. Within this world all cosmic processes and phenomena and
will happen hereinafter, the Life will develop.
The Second
Cosmic Logos - this is an indication that the Spirit was born in the Matter, and now they are two.
And lastly,
the Third
Cosmic Logos – this is the Matter, giving birth to the Souls inside itself with the help of the Spirit. The Souls are Yin and Yang.
Logos - it's just a name for a particular state of Space. Let's talk about the Second and Third Space Logos.
The moment came
when in the First Cosmic Logos in the "empty" space, in the Matter, the Spirit arose,
rather, many Spirits.
The Spirit did not come freely,
but in the Souls.
This is a pass of
the First Logos in the status of the
Second, and the Third, this happens at the same time.
Every Spirit that arose
in Matter became the basis for the emergence of the Soul.
And there was an association of Spirit and Matter in the Souls. "Father" and "Mother" "have born” "the Children".
Matter, Spirit and Soul -
Mother, Father and Baby - together form "the
very same" Holy Trinity, the object of religious worship.
It is an esoteric view
on the process of emergence of the manifested Universe.
And the scientific understanding of this process is following.
Once unimaginably long
time ago (in human notions) the Space changed.
In this simple and familiar word
- "change" - hidden all secret sense of how the Matter internally
transformed to become outwardly visible, manifested.
And it is this altered
state of Matter in the occultism we
call the Spirit.
The Matter gave birth to the Spirit (Energy) – i.e. some
particular state began to emerge in it, the essence of which is beyond our understanding.
The Spirit formed the "Centers
of Creation", "Building
Units of the Universe", "Touch Points
by the Creator himself inside", "Power Centers".
These are different names for the
same.
Democritus thinking about the world supposed
their existence and called these power
centers by the Atoms -
indivisible particles. And he was right about their
indivisibility.
Buddha also mentioned that all
things are composed of some "Dharma". Apparently, by this he meant all the same centers of power.
Thus, well-known to us
"Elementary Particles", "chakras", "atoms" and
"Dharma" - are synonyms.
We could come up and find
still a lot of other symbolic
expressions for these amazing
formations that arose once in the space and exist since.
However, any of them would be powerless to give at least some information about the deep essence of that unknown "something".
In science, chemical elements are the “atoms”.
We recall that translation of the "Atom" is "indivisible". When
scientists began to open up and
explore the chemical elements, they were the same indivisible elementary
units, about the existence of which the ancient Greek philosophers spoke. And
so they have appropriated the name of "Atoms".
In
our series of books the concept of "Atom" is equal to the concept of "elementary particle", and the
chemical element is the "chemical element", or just - "element".
It is difficult to talk about any
structure of elementary particles.
We talk about the structure of something, if it incorporates
smaller structural units.
A particle – is a holistic
structure. It's not even the structure, but simply an area of the space,
"the material point".
"Point of contact" of
the Creator-Space with itself.
The Spirit - is the foundation and filling of the Souls. It
is their source.
The main synonym for esoteric concept "Spirit"
is another esoteric term - "Ether" which, according to the
ideas of philosophical and theosophical thinkers fills the entire Universe.
The notion of the "Spirit" is also consistent
with such occult terms as "Father", "Brahma"
(this, along with Vishnu and Shiva, one of the hypostases of the Hindu Triune
God), "Heaven", Fohat, Purusha, Breath
of
Heaven, Breath of Life, Nefesh, "Light".
The transition of the Space from the state of the First
Logos to the state of the Second and Third Logos - this is the moment when the
particles started to create ether and destroy it.
It can be assumed that the Spirit is precisely thereby
"Einstein space" (that fills the real space), which, as Einstein
believed, can be bent. The Space itself (Matter, the First Logos) is not curved
- it is static. But the Spirit emitted and absorbed by the elementary particles
is able to "flow", what it does. The Ether emitted and absorbed by the
particles - this is the Spirit flowing in the Space.
A hint of what in the Space “Something”
(the Spirit) is flowing we can find in
the esoteric literature in the
form of references to the "Prana"
- a very thin, ultra-light, radiant substance that is
able to pass from body to body, occupying the entire Universe. Another
name for the Spirit is “Qi”,
anyway - "Chi".
Let's talk a bit more about
what the Spirit is Light. From a scientific point of view, "the Light" - is visible photons that are moving from the emitting or
reflecting them body and getting to our visual
analyzers, cause a
visual sensation that we call the light. However, the
real cause of visual perception is
the ether emitted by particles
that gets to the visual analyzer.
Thus, Ether (Spirit)
- this is the "light"
in the broad sense of the word.
Exactly about this "light" (i.e. the Ether, Spirit)
the First Book of Moses (Genesis
1:3 says): "And God said, Let there
be light. And there was light".
We can name elementary particles symbolically as the "building
blocks" that are forming "the Temple of the Manifested Universe".
Hence, it becomes clear why to
describe the stages of human
knowledge and the development it
has been used the Masonic symbolism.
"Mason" from
French is a "bricklayer".
Elementary
particles -
these are the same "stones"
from which Freemasons strive to
establish the "Temple" - the body of the manifested Universe.
In a narrow sense, the Masons
– are people embarking on the path of initiation, i.e. in the path of
Christ, Buddha and other great Teachers.
In a wider sense, Freemasonry
is a symbol of the totality of existing in the Universe the living
organized systems.
Each one of us – is a builder and
stonemason. Any representative of any Kingdom of
Nature - is a Mason. Minerals, plants, animals – all are Masons,
as strange as it may sound.
Scientists still are busy looking for candidates for the
role of "basic elements" which make up all that is in the universe. We
are convinced that the only suitable candidates for this role are elementary
particles.
The totality of Souls, existing in the Universe, along
with Ether (Spirit), created and destroyed in them, forms the Soul
of the World - Anima Mundi.
At the end of every Christian prayer we use the following
expression: "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit."
This we can attribute to a number of inaccurate phrases.
And all because, the concept of "Father" in this case symbolizes the
Mother, the Matter, the Original Substance, the First Aspect of God. The
concept of the "Son" is a Soul. But the "Holy Spirit" - it
is precisely the "Spirit", the Second Aspect, the Light.
The Matter in this prayer afterward is not mentioned.
This is not surprising, given for what period of human history had the
formation of Christianity. The concept of "matter" is synonymous with
the concept of "Mother" - that is, feminine. In the harsh patriarchy
the feminine principle entirely subordinate and enslaves, hereof the neglect of
it by the fathers of the Christian church.
Therefore more right to say:
"In the Name of the Mother, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," where the Holy Spirit - the Father. Or you can like
this: "In the Name of the
Mother, the Father and the Son." But why is
in the name of the Son, and not of the Daughter? Even better: "In the name of the Mother, the
Father, and of their Child."
What
are the Spirit and Soul? With which can we compare them?
First, in no case we can’t give them the features of something eternal, permanent. The only eternal substance that exists in the Universe - it is the very Space, the Matter. While the Spirit (Ether) and Souls (elementary particles) as already mentioned are the altered state of Space, disturbance in it.
First, in no case we can’t give them the features of something eternal, permanent. The only eternal substance that exists in the Universe - it is the very Space, the Matter. While the Spirit (Ether) and Souls (elementary particles) as already mentioned are the altered state of Space, disturbance in it.
We can compare the
Spirit with
ripples on the surface of the
pond. Although, of course, the Spirit does not a ripple.
It is ephemeral, immaterial
and illusory. A Ripple distorts the shape of the water surface,
but the water all the same remains the
water. The same applies
to the Spirit. It distorts the state of the Space, but the Space does
not stop to be itself. The particles - are also a "ripple", but of a different kind than the Ether.
And yet, in spite of the illusory
nature of Spirit and Soul, for us,
creatures built by them, they are more than real.
We call the fundamental particles and chemical elements of science "stuff". However, the real
materiality has only the Space itself.
Particles are as ephemeral
as the ether. That
is why the world of what we call "substance" and “matter” – is
the world of Spirit and the Souls formed by it are in esoteric literature
the world of Maya, illusion.
Think about:
We
and the world around us like the Universe - it's just a disturbance
in the space. And the Space itself - this is the
only thing that creates us, by what
(or whom) "we
live and move and have our being".
And the true and
profound nature of this Space has
been yet closed to the human
understanding.
You can’t assume that the
particles and the Ether were once
created by God (the Mother), and after
this "he" (“she”) left them
"at rest" and they are in
themselves, and the Creator is itself.
No. These centers have
emerged and continue to exist, thanks to unceasing "creativity" of the
First Logos. Will stop this creative act –
will stop their existence.
Every millimeter of the space, regardless
of created by it in itself elementary
particles and ether, has a mind,
consciousness. The whole universe
is reasonable, and not just us humans.
But let us return once more to the "dispute
of the models of space" – Euclidean-Newton space and Einstein space.
Einstein was right
in something relatively to the basic structure of the Universe. The "something"
that exists in Space (the Spirit) is in a
mobile state, and can flex.
But as the Space does not flex, the shortest distance between two points is
a segment, the line. Therefore, we should not doubt the Euclidean
geometry – the science studying of
methods and laws of measurements of space and matter. But
the measurement of the segments
with the help of curves we should regard as erroneous.
Science through any technical means,
in the laboratory, will never be able to directly see
the nature of the Ether and
elementary particles. Only indirectly,
by studying the interaction of the
particles with each other.
But the very human
mind, the human "I" can
come close to solving this greatest of mysteries
- to the knowledge of the essence of the Creator, creating us in itself and
of itself.
When you look at the surrounding bodies,
constantly keep in mind that there is nothing but
elementary particles (Souls) of varying
quality and the Ether (the Spirit),
penetrating particles, created by them and disappearing
into them.
“There
is no spoon…”
07. THE SOUL – IS THE
THIRD
HYPOSTASIS. THE
MECHANISM OF
MANIFESTATION (CREATION).
In the end it's
time to
talk about the third aspect of the
Creator (Thinking Substance) – about the Soul.
In our view, in the
occult and
religious texts and scriptures
the most attention is directed to this hypostasis of God and the most information is devoted to it.
About the second aspect of
the Spirit also it is said a lot,
but about the Soul a little more.
Scientists also say a lot about it, though they do not realize that they are talking exactly
about that.
So what is the Soul?
As many times we have
repeated this is the special formation in the body of Space,
the perturbation in it.
This is a sphere in the center of
which there is the emergence of
the Spirit, and in the periphery – its
destruction.
That's such amazing "Something"
this Soul, or rather, the Souls, which in the
vast, incredibly huge number the
Nature creates in itself and
from itself.
But what is the
kind of perturbation, what is the true essence
of what we call the Soul, we don’t know.
When occult books talk
about the Third Aspect, first, they
call the Center of Force itself that has the ability to create and destroy the Spirit.
And second, they give the different names for the Spirit itself, appearing and disappearing in each particle.
So when we talk about the
Third Hypostasis – the Soul, at
the same time mention and the
Second – the
Spirit. And this is quite true,
as the Second Person of
God – is the cause of the Third.
The primary component of the Soul – is the Spirit that
saturates it and adds hardness. Therefore, we first list the synonyms for the
Soul as a whole. And then again we will repeat those concepts that characterize
the Spirit in the Soul.
As the Souls of the Universe make Seven basic types at
each level of each Plane, very often they have a particular name or definition,
combined with the number Seven.
Soul, Third Hypostasis (Third
Aspect), the Son of the Light (used for the naming of the Spirit and Soul),
Jiva, Dhyan Chohan, Sephiroth, Lipika, Pitris (Lunar and Solar,) Brothers
(Seven Brothers), Rishi (Seven Rishis of the Great Bear), Sisters (The Seven
Sisters of the Pleiades), Principles (Seven Principles), Kumara, Deva, Sura,
Asura, Dayitas, Aditya, Danava, Gandharva, Angels of the Throne, Supremacies,
Hierarchies, Beginnings, Cherubims, Seraphims, Demons, Army of the Voice,
Legion, Rupa, Arupa, Oeaohoo Junior, Not-Eternal Germ, Fire (Light) of Brahma,
the Sons of the Sun, the Seven Creative Armies, Seven Builders, Seven Supreme
Lords, Seven Truths, The Seven Great Causes of Misery, Seven Days of Creation (Seven Periods or Cycles), Seven
Breaths of Dragon of Wisdom, Seven Seeds, Seven Worlds of Maya, the Seven
Hierarchies, Shimmering Seven, Mind-born Sons, The Seven Lives, Beaming Sons of
Dawn of Manvantara, Messenger of Gods, sparks, flames, Ah-hi, Force Centers,
force, Energy, elementary particles, Elements, Elements, Atoms, Monads,
Chakras, Bindu, Firing Vortices, Dharma, Laya Centers, Wheels, Serpents,
Dragons, Shadow of God, Reflection of God, Mirror of God, Wicks, Clots in the
Ocean of Milk, Caviar, which is spawned by the Fire Fish of Life (Fish Grains
of Life), Numbers, Sons of the Earth and the Sons of Fire (Yin and Yang, Matter
and Spirit, Cain and Abel, Shiva and Brahma, Creators and Destroyers).
We included here also the names for the Spirit in the Soul.
But we will list them again separately.
Seven Spirits before the
Throne of God, a whirlwind of
fire, Snake, biting its own tail, the Dragons of Wisdom,
Lucifer, Kundalini (Fire Serpent) Fohat, Antahkarana,
Bridge connecting the Spirit with the Soul, Ray of Light, Seven Ways to Bliss,
Wheel, Circle, Breath of Dragon of
Wisdom, Sutrama, Thread of Life, The Thread between
the Silent Witness and his Shadow, Flame, The
Stream of Consciousness.
The
Fabric,
which is spun by the Mother and Father, the World Egg, Gold
Egg, Hiranyagarbha, Sien-Tchan, Maya, Illusion, Space of Light, Svabhâvat, Hierarchies of Forms, the Universe – the Son of Necessity – these are concepts and definitions that describe the Universe as a whole. This is only a modest portion of all titles that we can found in the esoteric and the scientific literature. You can train yourself
to find these synonyms.
“The Son can
do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do: for what things so ever [the Father] doeth, these also doeth
the Son likewise.” (The
New Testament, the Gospel of John, Ch.
5:19).

OF DZYAN (STANZAS DZYAN WAS TAKEN FROM VOLUME 1 OF
"THE SECRET
DOCTRINE" OF HP
BLAVATSKY).
08. COMMENTS TO THE BOOK
OF DZYAN (STANZAS DZYAN WAS TAKEN FROM VOLUME 1 OF
"THE SECRET
DOCTRINE" OF HP
BLAVATSKY).
1) "Universal Mind was not, for there were no Ah-hi to
contain it." (Stanza
1.3).
Universal
Mind – is the Cosmic Consciousness, the
Second Aspect of God, Ah-hi (senzar.)
– these are the Souls, Serpents, Dragons of
Wisdom, the elementary particles that contain Mind, filled
with it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) “The Seven Ways to Bliss were
not The Great Causes of Misery were not, for there was no one to produce and
get ensnared by them.” (Stanza 1.4).
The ultimate goal of the existence of
our universe is the union of
information and identification
of all with all.
All six Planes and all six main
types of Souls should be merged together.
Thus the Mahatma – The Great Soul – is born.
And the more of these creatures will be eventually in the Universe,
the closer the world would be to the
ultimate goal of existence.
Bliss, Nirvana – this is the final outcome of this world.
And each type of Soul is conventionally
referred as the Way to Bliss.
The Spirit flows through the
Soul, it is the Way.
On the other hand, all the
time that the universe is moving
towards the ultimate goal, accompanied
by the inevitable Suffering
of imperfect beings that born in
it and die quickly because of their imperfections. That is why these same Seven basic types of Souls have another name – "The great causes of Misery". Experiencing
pain, everything in this world is moving towards the perfection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) “... for Father, Mother, and Son were once more one, and
the Son had not yet awakened for the new Wheel and his Pilgrimage thereon” (Stanza 1.5).
During Mahapralaya there
is no the Father (Spirit of Ether) and the Son
(Soul). All of this is potentially hidden in
the depths of the Matter (the
Original Substance).
The
Wheel –
this is another name for the Soul, the Wheel – it’s the
Ether rotating in a circle.
The
New Wheel –
it’s a symbol of the new Mahamanvantara, manifested through the totality of produced Souls.
“Pilgrimage”
of the Son on the Wheel – this is an indication of the period of the next manvantaric existence of our Universe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) “The Seven Sublime Lords and the Seven Truths
had ceased to be, and the Universe, the Son of Necessity, was immersed in
Paranishpanna, to be outbreathed by that which is, and yet is not.” (Stanza 1.6).
The
Seven Sublime Lords as well as the Seven Truths – it's the same thing as the Seven
Spirits before the Throne of God,
or the Seven Sons – seven basic types of
elementary particles (Souls).
During Mahapralaya they do not exist. There is no Universe in the form in
which we are accustomed to contemplate it now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) “...Where were the Builders, the
Luminous Sons of Manvantaric Dawn? ... In the Unknown Darkness in their Ah-hi
Paranishpanna. The Producers of Form from No-Form – the Root of the World – the
Devamâtri and Svabhâvat, rested in the Bliss of Non-Being.” (Stanza
2.1).
You probably
already guessed
that the Builders and the
Luminous Sons of Manvantaric Dawn – are the Souls,
Building Elements of the Universe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) "3. The Hour had not yet struck; the Ray had not yet
flashed into the Germ; the Mâtripadma had not yet swollen.
4.
Her Heart had not yet opened for the One Ray to enter, thence to fall, as Three
into Four, into the Lap of Maya.
5.
The Seven were not yet born from the Web of Light. Darkness alone was
Father-Mother, Svabhâvat; and Svabhâvat was in Darkness."(Stanza 2.3; 2.4; 2.5).
The
Ray –
it's
the Ray
of Light, Spirit,
passing through the Souls and animating
them.
The
Web of Light – it is the Spirit that fills the space.
The
Seven – it's all the same seven types of Souls, the Seven Rays.
Three into Four: Three – are the
three highest manifestations –
Matter, Spirit, Soul; Four
– the four Elements - is another classification of Souls.
"Three into Four" means that three higher
Aspects of God are manifested through the
four elements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) "These Two are the Germ, and the Germ is One. The
Universe was still concealed in the Divine Thought and the Divine Bosom." (Stanza 2.6).
The Germ – is the
manifested Universe, the totality of Building
Units, vivified by
the Spirit. The universe presents
two major types of Souls – Yin and Yang,
Matter and Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) "Darkness radiates Light, and Light drops one solitary
Ray into the Waters, into the Mother-Deep. The Ray shoots through the Virgin
Egg, the Ray causes the Eternal Egg to thrill, and drop the non-eternal Germ,
which condenses into the World-Egg." (Stanza 3.3).
The
non-eternal Germ,
like the
World-Egg – it’s a symbol
of the Manifested Universe.
The Eternal
Egg – is the Original Substance itself, the Virgin Mother.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) "The Three fall into the Four. The Radiant Essence becomes
Seven inside, Seven outside. The Luminous Egg, which in itself is Three,
curdles and spreads in milk-white Curds throughout the Depths of Mother, the
root that grows in the Depths of the Ocean of Life.” (Stanza 3.4).
That is the "Three fall into
the Four" we recently
discussed.
“The
Radiant Essence becomes Seven inside, Seven outside” must also be clear – the emergence
in the Space vivified by the
Spirit (Light) the Seven major types of Souls. Seven inside, seven outside – Seven Spirits manifest
them through seven types of souls.
The
Luminous Egg – it is a translation of the word "Hiranyagarbha", the Golden Egg – the
visible Universe. Trinity of the
Luminous Egg – Three Main Hypostasis represent
the Manifested Universe.
The Ocean of Life – is the Ocean of Ether (Spirit). Its
heart is the Root, the Matter.
Milk-white Curds in the Ocean
of Life, in the Ocean of Milk – these are the Souls, the Building Units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) "…the Radiant Child of the Two,
the unparalleled refulgent Glory- Bright Space, Son of Dark Space, who emerges
from the Depths of the great Dark Waters. It is Oeaohoo, the Younger, the ***.
He shine forth as the Sun, he is the Blazing Divine Dragon of Wisdom; the Eka is
Chatur, and Chatur takes to itself Tri, and the Union produces the Sapta, in
whom are the Seven, which become the Tridasha, the Hosts and the Multitudes.
Behold him lifting the Veil, and unfurling it from East to West. He shuts out
the Above, and leaves the Below to be seen as the Great Illusion. He marks the
places for the Shining Ones, and turns the Upper into a shoreless Sea of Fire,
and the One Manifested into the Great Waters."(Stanza 3.7).
“The
Radiant Child of the Two, the unparalleled refulgent Glory - Bright
Space, Son of Dark Space, who emerges from the Depths of the great Dark Waters” – this is, of course, the Soul, which is a product of
the synthesis of Matter and Spirit. The Matter in this case – it's not the type
of Soul, but namely, the Original Substance. And the Spirit – this is not a
particle Yang and Information, the Light. The Spirit – this is the Light, the
Son of Dark Space. His rotation in every elementary particle forms in total the
Bright Space.
Oeaohoo,
the Younger –
it's
the Soul. The Light moving in every Soul is the
flaming, Divine Dragon
of Wisdom.
Eka – is the One, the
Spirit. Chatur – it’s four, Four Elements.
"Chatur takes to itself Tri" – within this four-elements
classification, i.e. within the Universe, there are particles of three primary colors - blue, yellow and red.
These three colors are Tri. Classification
within the classification. The particles of three colors give birth to a spectrum in which six colors plus the seventh,
complex. And there
are seven Planes. Here you have
the Sapta –
seven, seven times seven – 49. These 49 – this is the Tridasha, the Hosts and the Multitudes – all the variety of possible combinations of elementary particles in the Universe.
Sea of Fire – it's the same as the Space of
Light, i.e. Ocean of Ether,
Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) "Father-Mother spin a Web, whose upper end is fastened
to Spirit, the Light of the One Darkness, and the lower one to its shadowy end,
Matter; and this Web is the Universe, spun out of the Two Substances, made in
One, which is Svabhâvat." (Stanza 3.10).
Father-Mother symbolizes the combination in the Universe of the
areas where the Spirit (the Father) is working – i.e. where it arises, and of the areas where the Matter (Mother) is working – i.e. where the Spirit disappears and the Space
returns to the original state – to the Matter.
The Fabric, which is spun by Mother and Father really,
it’s the Universe, the totality of
elementary particles, which we can divide into two main
types – the Yin and Yang. These Yin
and Yang – this is Two Entities merged together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12) "Then Svabhâvat send Fohat to harden the Atoms. Each is
a part of the Web. Reflecting the "Self-Existent Lord", like a
Mirror, each becomes in turn a World."(Stanza
3.12).
Svabhâvat
in this case – is the Matter, Thinking Substance, where the
Spirit (the Father) exists.
Fohat – it's the same thing
as the Spirit, however, considered to each
elementary particle (the Soul).
Fohat (Spirit) fills Atoms
(particles) and thus
makes them impermeable with respect to one another.
In this way Fohat
makes the Atoms solid.
Fabric
which is spun by Svabhâvat, as already mentioned, it is the Universe as the
totality of its constituent elementary
particles – Atoms.
The Soul is in the occult a
reflection, a mirror for the Spirit, which is otherwise also known as Self-Existent Lord.
Another name for Fohat rotating in the Souls –
is the Serpent, the Dragon of Wisdom. The Serpent, the Dragon – is a monkey of God,
which repeats all its movements, but
not a God in its entirety, but
only part of It.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13) "...Listen, ye Sons of the Earth,
to your Instructors - the Sons of the Fire. Learn, there is neither first nor
last; for all is One Number, issued from No-Number." (Stanza 4.1).
Sons
of the Earth – is one type of Souls, the particles Yin.
Sons
of the Fire – is the second type of Souls, the particles Yang.
As you will learn later from the Law of Identification, namely the particle Yin, Sons of
the Earth, absorb information
(Energy, Spirit) emanating
from the particles Yang, Sons of the Fire, and
not vice versa. That is how we should understand an expression “Listen, ye Sons of the Earth, to your Instructors -
the Sons of the Fire”.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14) "From the Effulgency of Light -
the Ray of the Ever-Darkness - sprang in Space the reawakened Energies; the One
from the Egg, the Six, and the Five. Then the Three, the One, the Four, the
One, the Five - the Twice Seven, the Sum Total. And these are the Essences, the
Flames, the Elements, the Builders, the Numbers, the Arûpa , the Rûpa , and the
Force or Divine Man, the Sum Total. And from the Divine Man emanated the Forms,
the Sparks, the Sacred Animals, and the Messengers of the Sacred Fathers within
the Holy Four" (Stanza
4.3).
Light – is a product of the Matter – the Ray of Ever-Darkness,
where Darkness – this is the Matter.
The reawakened Energies – are
the smaller branches of One Ray –
smaller rays, each of which is Fohat or Serpent, animating its Soul.
The Egg – is the Matter. This refers to the Eternal Egg,
not Gold.
The
One from the Egg –
is the One Ray, i.e. the Spirit in the general sense.
The Twice Seven – is the Seven Planes and the Seven
colors – is 49, the sum of all. This is the totality of the elementary
particles of the Universe.
The
Essences, the Flames, the Elements, the Builders, the Numbers, the Arûpa, the
Rûpa, the Force, the Forms, the Sparks, the Sacred
Animals, the Messengers of the Sacred Fathers – all
these are synonyms of the
Soul.
The Secret Father – is the Spirit behind every Soul, feeding it by itself.
The
Divine Man – is the Manifested Universe, all the totality of Souls.
"The Messengers of the Sacred
Fathers within the Holy Four"
– this means that all Souls we can classify with the help of the Four Elements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15) "That
was the Army of the Voice, the Divine Mother of Seven. Sparks of Seven and the
servants are subject to the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh of the Seven. They are called Spheres, triangles, cubes, lines, and
molders, for so keeps Eternal Nidan - Oi-Ha-Hou” (Stanza 4.4).
The Voice – is synonymous with the Spirit. Here he was given the
name of the Divine Mother of Seven, because some religious systems personify the
Spirit as Feminine Deity. In the Spirit of many synonyms, and this is one of
them.
The Army of the Voice – it is the totality of Souls
born of the One Spirit.
Sparks of Seven – this is the same thing as the Seven Spirits, Seven
Sons - Seven types of Souls.
Sparks of Seven and the
servants are subject to the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh of the Seven –
this is the list of synonyms of Seven Kingdoms of Nature.
“Sparks of Seven and the
servants are subject”
means that the same types of Seven Souls form the members of the Kingdoms. And
the seventh kingdom - it is always the case with the number "seven,"
an indication of the complexity.
What is this list – Spheres, triangles, cubes, lines, and
molders?
Here would still have to add the Pentagram and the
six-pointed star, and so build a list – Spheres, lines, triangles, cubes, Pentagram
and six-pointed star.
Sphere – it’s a
"petal", one Plane in the Kingdom. It is a symbol of the mineral
kingdom.
Line – is two Planes grouped together as part of a member of
another kingdom – Plant. Otherwise the line can also be called as a
segment, i.e. a section of the line connecting two points, in this case, two
particles, two Planes.
Triangle – is, respectively, the symbol of the animal kingdom, of
the union of three Souls, three Planes. Three petals – is 666.
Cube indicates on number four – four petals, four joint Planes,
a symbol of the human's kingdom.
And finally, the pentagram and the six-pointed
star – two superhuman kingdoms.
Pentagram combines five planes, and the Star of David – six.
A conglomerate of elementary particles - is also a
particle, only an unstable, using the language of science.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16) "2. The
voice of the Word, Svabhavat numbers, because he is one and nine. 3. "Square
without Shapes" (Stanza 4.5).
Svabhavat – is the Mother-Father, Matter and Spirit. Number
– is a Universe in their entirety of the Souls in its composition.
Svabhavat numbers – means that we refer to Matter and Spirit in their
primary sense, but as the Soul-polar opposites – Yin and Yang.
One and Nine: One – is one Spirit and Nine – is three and
six.
Three – three primary colors. Six – six simple Planes.
Square without Shapes – is a classification of the Souls of the elements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17) "5. Then
there are the children ..., Seven Warriors, A - Eighth left aside, and his
breath is Light-giver.
6. Second Seven ... then that is Lipika
generated by three. Rejected One Son. "Sons of the Sun" innumerable"(Stanza
4.5, 4.6).
Seven Warriors – are the seven major types of Souls.
The Eighth Son –
is the Father, the Spirit. This is
– Rejected One Son. His breath is Light-giver.
The Spirit – this is the breath
and it animates every part of the world - every soul.
Second Seven, that is Lipika – it's all the same types of Souls.
Generated by three – this expression indicates that the triad of aspects
represents every soul (elementary particle).
Sun –
is the Spirit of the Father. Sons of the Sun – are the
Souls, or the Rays of the Sun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18) “The Primordial Seven, the
First Seven Breaths of the Dragon of Wisdom, produce in their turn from their
Holy Circumgyrating Breaths the Fiery Whirlwind.” (Stanza 5.1)
The Dragon of Wisdom – is the Spirit (Ether, Energy), "spinning" in
any Soul. The Dragon of Wisdom – this is the same as the Holy Circumgyrating Breath.
Fire Whirlwind generated by the
Holy Breath – is an
elementary particle (Soul).
The
Primordial Seven, the First Seven Breaths of the Dragon of Wisdom - are the seven major types of Souls that exist at each
level of each Plane.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19) “They make of him the Messenger
of their Will. The Dzyu becomes Fohat: the swift Son of the Divine Sons, whose
Sons are the Lipika, runs circular errands. Fohat is the Steed, and the Thought
is the Rider.”
(Stanza 5.2).
They (the Primordial Seven) make of him (Fiery
Whirlwind) the Messenger.
Do you remember, Mercury is the messenger of the Gods,
too? A whirlwind of Spirit, born and died in the particles, it is the same
Spirit, but in the concrete sense. He is the messenger of Gods, and he is God
by himself. He informs that carries information.
Do not be confused by all this fog of occult terminology.
And the Divine Sons and the Lipika – all these are
synonyms of Souls. The Dzyu in this case symbolizes the
Spirit in a general sense. Fohat – it is the Spirit in a
particular way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20) “He is
their guiding spirit and the driver. Starting work, he separates the sparks of
the lower kingdoms, and in the joy of WEARING quivering in their abodes Radiant
and forms of these rudiments of Wheels. He puts them in the six directions of
space and one in the middle - Middle Wheel "(Stanza 5.3).
What means these phrases: "He (Fohat) is their guiding
spirit and the driver. He separates…forms…puts”?
Some external manifestation of quality characterize elementary
particles – that is, the particles or absorb the Ether (Fohat) or emit it, and with a certain speed.
Absorbing particles form thus around the Field of
Attraction, thereby attracting to themselves the surrounding particles.
Emitting particles form the Fields of Repulsion, which
pushes the surrounding particles.
So, the characteristics of the Fohat (Ether), displaying
in the particles, determine how they will behave in the environment of other
particles. This is the work of Fohat as the driver, the guide and leader of the
particles. And Sparks – is a synonym of the particles.
The Sparks of the lower
kingdoms – are the
particles of the Physical Plan, which form the Mineral Kingdom – the lowest of
all, that closest to the center of the Universe.
Wheels – it’s the Whirlwinds of this Ether,
"rotating" (through time) in Souls (elementary particles). Wheels –
it's the same thing as the Dragons, Serpents.
The rudiments of Wheels he puts
in the six directions of space – this is a figurative expression, suggesting that each type of elementary
particles in the Universe tends to occupy its own position relative to the
center, and this fact is due to the peculiarities of manifestation of the
particles the Fohat (Ether).
Middle Wheel – is
an association of particles of different types into one -
so there is a seventh, integrated color.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21) "Lipika
outline the Triangle, the First One, the Cube, the Second One, and Pentagram in
the Egg. This ring, called "Do not transgress" for those who descend
and ascend, who during the Kalpa moving to Great Day "Be with Us" ...
Thus were created the Arupa and Rupa, from One Light Seven Luminaries, from
each of the seven times Seven Luminaries. Wheel guard ring ...
"(Stanza 5.6).
The Ring – it is the very sphere
of any elementary particle. Perhaps the ring we call "Do not
transgress" for the reason that the Ether within the sphere of each
particle – is its own "property". And other particles can’t
"pretend" to this Ether when it is within a given particle.
The Souls, particles, descend and ascend.
Arupa – is a particle Yang, Rupa – Yin particle. Arupa
– those that do not create the forms. Rupa, on the
contrary, create the forms.
This classification is quite understandable. Particles
Rupa, Yin have the Fields of Attraction, and it is due to this, they produce
forms, attracting other particles. Particles Arupa, Yang, have the Fields of
Repulsion, and so do not create forms, as repel the surrounding particles.
Wheel – is a flow of Ether (Spirit), moving in the elementary
particle (moving in time). Exactly the Ether fills the particles and makes them
impervious to each other. That is how we should understand the phrase – "Wheel
guard ring" or rather, "Each wheel protects its own
ring".
"From One Light Seven Luminaries, from each
of the seven times Seven Luminaries " – this phrase we should interpret as a sign that the spectrum - that is,
totality of six basic types of particles (plus complex particles that combine
different types of particles) within each of the seven Planes unusually large.
What means the expression – "Lipika outline the Triangle, the
First One, the Cube, the Second One, and Pentagram in the Egg"?
This is true told EP Blavatsky in the "Secret
Doctrine": “…the
"Ring PASS-NOT" that the Lipika
trace around the Triangle, the First One, the Cube, the Second One, and the
Pentacle to circumscribe these figures, is thus shown to contain the symbol of
31415 again, or the coefficient constantly used in mathematical tables (the
value of p, pi), the geometrical figures standing here for numerical figures.” ("The
Secret Doctrine", Comment. to Stanza 5.6).
However, Elena Petrovna considered the concept of
“"Ring" do not transgress” from the astronomical point of view, because
the meaning of this expression quite different – we said just above that it’s
the very sphere of the elementary particle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22) “By the power of the Mother of
Mercy and Knowledge, Kwan-Yin - the Triple of Kwan - Shai-Yin, residing in Kwan
-Yin –Tien – Fohat, the Breath of their
Progeny, the Son of the Sons, having called forth, from the Lower Abyss, the
Illusive Form of Sien --Tchan and the Seven Elements.” (Stanza 6.1).
You can know the identity of the names of Kwan-Yin and
Kwan-Shai-Yin.
The existence in the Chinese pantheon of Deities,
identity, by the way, the Indian Avalokiteshvara, accurately reflects the idea of
the Spirit, of the Father, of the Second Aspect of God.
The Spirit – that's exactly the One Something that
permeates and saturates the Universe, and changes somehow the underlying
Substance, and is exactly what the other religious systems called the Logos,
the Word, Voice.
The same concept and we adhere to. Spirit – that send to
our world "Voice" that makes a circle and back to emitted source.
Thus, each such "Round" brings information about the changes that
have taken place in the Universe along the way of the "Sound".
Tien translates as "heaven". Kwan-Yin-Tien we can
interpret as "the Universe, Sky, Space, where Kwan-Shai-Yin inhabits and
keep track of everything going on". That is, the space filled with those
who see the sounds of the world is itself the Sound.
Accordingly, as we have already mentioned, Fohat – it is
really the Spawn of Kwan-Shai-Yin, a product of the
Spirit.
Fohat – this is the Spirit, but existing in a single particle,
the Tiny Ray of the One Ray. Fohat – is the Son of the Father, the One Spirit,
and Soul (particle) – this is the Sons of Mother and Father.
It turns out that Fohat – is "the Son of the Sons".
The Lower Abyss – this is the Matter, Shadow, Primal Essence that has created
everything in this world. The abyss from which there was all. Bottomless,
endless basis.
The
Seven Elements – it's all
the same types of Seven Souls, elementary particles that build the Universe.
Fohat "having called ... the Illusive Form of Sien-Tchan" – that Fohat, Spirit, "working" in each
elementary particle, has caused a visible manifestation of our world. "The
Illusive Form" – is a synonym of Maya, Illusion, commonly called as
the Universe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23) "The Swift and the Radiant One
produces the seven Laya Centres, against which none will prevail to the Great
Day "Be With Us"; and seats the Universe on these Eternal
Foundations, surrounding Sien-Tchan with the Elementary Germs." (Stanza 6.2).
The Swift and the Radiant One – it is the Spirit.
The Seven Laya Centres – are
the seven basic types of Souls.
The Great Day "Be with
Us" – the beginning of
the end Mahamanvantara – Mahapralaya.
Primary Germ – this is the Soul (stable elementary particles).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24) "Of the Seven - first One
manifested, Six concealed; Two manifested, Five concealed; Three manifested,
Four concealed; Four produced, Three hidden; Four and One Tsan revealed, Two
and One-Half concealed; Six to be manifested, One laid aside. Lastly, Seven
Small Wheels revolving; one giving birth to the other."(Stanza 6.3).
There we described the sequence of entry of the Planes
into incarnation.
Six
to be manifested, One laid aside – six simple Planes and one complex that appears as the sum of all in its
final form last.
Seven
Small Wheels revolving; one giving birth to the other – Souls of Seven Planes, the Higher Planes "saturate"
the lower with their ether – give birth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25) "He builds them in the likeness of older Wheels,
placing them on the Imperishable Centres.
How
does Fohat build them? He collects the Fiery Dust. He makes Balls of Fire, runs
through them, and round them, infusing life there into , then sets them into
motion; some one way, some the other way. They are cold, he makes them hot.
They are dry, he makes them moist. They shine, he fans and cools them.
Thus
acts Fohat from one Twilight to the other, during Seven Eternities.” (Stanza 6.4).
The Older Wheels – are the conglomerates, collected from the stable
particles, i.e. directly from the indivisible Souls.
The Fiery Dust – this is the elementary particle.
Balls of Fire – are the conglomerates of Souls.
Twilight – it’s Mahapralaya, the disintegration of the Universe.
Seven Eternities – are the consistent formation of the Seven Kingdoms of
Nature.
A Wheel –
this is the same as the rotating Ether – nascent, and then disappearing.
First of all, a Wheel – it is the very Soul,
as in every particle the Ether is born at the same time and disappears. This is
a Small Wheel.
But if Ether is born in a single particle, and is
destroyed in the other – it is also the Wheel of Ether.
We can suppose that a conglomerate of particles forms
this Wheel, and we consider it as the Older to the individual Soul.
The more particles are in the conglomerate, the Wheel is
greater, i.e. Older. The body of any representative of any of the kingdom – is
also a Wheel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26) "At the Fourth, the Sons are
told to create their Images, One-Third refuses. Two obey. The Curse is
pronounced. They will be born in the Fourth, suffer and cause suffering. This
is the First War."(Stanza
6.5).
To create their Images – is the process of combining particles into
conglomerates (groups) due to the existence of gravity. The Kingdoms of Nature were born as a result of consistent association of the particles.
In the process of creating the Images, i.e. in the Birth
of Kingdoms, all Planes are included, because the particles with the Fields of
Attraction that can become the centers of attraction are the part of any Plan.
It’s first.
And second, not only the particles with the Fields of
Attraction can subordinate, but also the particles with the Fields of
Repulsion.
However, the more upper is the Plane, the more there are
particles with the Fields of Repulsion (and the greater the value of these
Fields), and the smaller percentage of particles with Fields of Attraction (and
the lower is the value of these Fields).
It turns out that the upper Planes, especially the last
two – Atmic and Monadic – extremely reluctant to take part in the process of
unification of particles – the Fields of Repulsion prevent. These two Planes of
the six simple are precisely the refusing One-Third.
The other four lower Planes – it’s Two obeyed Thirds – as
their total Fields of Attraction are more and the Fields of Repulsion are less.
But these two upper Planes will still come into
incarnation – "They will be born in the Fourth". This means that their aim and objects, with which they
will interact, will be the representatives of the Fourth Kingdom – human.
The process of forming the superhuman Kingdoms is very
difficult. It's not easy to create forms that can withstand high levels of
Energy, because the Energy (Ether) destroys bonds (gravitational, chemical –
it’s the same). Therefore, any person on the way to becoming of Superhuman has
big difficulties and suffering. This road is very hard, and not everyone under
force.
This
is the First War –
a war between the Yin and Yang, due to the complete opposite manifestations of
their quality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27) "The Older Wheels rotated
downward and upward ... The Mother's Spawn filled the whole. There were Battles
fought between the Creators and the Destroyers, and Battles fought for Space;
the Seed appearing and reappearing continuously."(Stanza 6.6).
The
Mother's Spawn – is again
synonyms of Soul. The Matter – Space – gives rise to a "seed", Germ,
Spawn – Soul. The Souls fill the Space.
The
Seed appearing and reappearing continuously – it is the Spirit that is born in the Souls.
Creators and Destroyers – are the particles Yang and Yin.
Yang – are Creators, because there is a domination of the process of
creation of the Spirit in them.
Yin – are Destroyers, as they destruct the Ether more than creates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28) "Make thy calculations, O Lanoo, if thou wouldst learn
the correct age of thy Small Wheel. Its Fourth Spoke is our Mother. Reach the
Fourth Fruit of the Fourth Path of Knowledge that leads to Nirvana, and thou
shalt comprehend, for thou shalt see... "(Stanza
6.7).
The
Fourth Fruit of the Fourth Path of Knowledge that leads to Nirvana – it's the Fourth Ray, harmony through conflict, combining all other six Rays.
In the article on the Seven Rays
we say that the six Rays are simple, but
the seventh – is the complex.
However, do not understand the
phrase "seventh ray" as
a literal reference to Ray's number. In fact, the
Ray under the number "7"
– is simple. While
the comprehensive Ray – has the
number "4" as has just been said.
For any person, before getting into a superhuman state by the addition of particles of Atmic and Monadic Planes, it is
necessary to reach the state of the
Fourth Ray. The person do this by including into the body the particles of all six simple Rays – that
is, all levels of Buddhic Plane should be
submitted in the person.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29) “Behold the beginning of sentient formless Life.
First,
the Divine, the One from the Mother Spirit; then, the Spiritual; the Three from
the One, the Four from the One, and the Five, from which the Three, the Five
and the Seven. These are the Threefold and the Fourfold downward; the Mind-born
Sons of the First Lord, the Shining Seven. It is they who are thou, I, he, O
Lanoo; they who watch over thee and thy mother, Bhûmi” (Stanza
7.1).
First, the Divine, the One – is an indication of the One Absolute out of the state of manifestation.
Then, the Spiritual – or simply "the
Spirit", is the second aspect.
The
Three from the One,
the Trinity - as part of any level of any Plan are the
Souls of only three primary
colors – red, yellow or blue.
The Four from the One, Quaternary – the Spirit manifests through four Elements.
And
the Five – the Spirit itself represents the Fifth Element – Ether.
The First Lord – is the Primal Essence, Space.
The Mind – is the Spirit.
The Mind-born Sons of the First
Lord, the Shining Seven – are the Souls, Seven Rays.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30) “The One Ray multiplies the smaller Rays. Life precedes
Form, and Life survives, the last atom. Through the countless Rays the
Life-Ray, the One, like a Thread through many Beads.”(Stanza 7.2).
The
One Ray and Life
– are the
synonyms of the Spirit, the
Second Aspect of the Absolute.
The
One Ray multiplies the smaller Rays – Spirit manifests through a great variety of Souls (elementary particles).
Form – it’s a Soul.
Life precedes Form – Spirit manifests itself in the form of the Soul, but not vice-versa.
Life
survives, the last atom – when, after Mahamanvantara all Atoms (Souls)
will disappear, the Spirit remains. Life
will be spilled in
the Space of the One Boundless Ocean.
Through
the countless Rays the Life-Ray, the One, like a Thread through many Beads - Spirit permeates,
saturates, fills the Souls (Small Rays). Spirit,
as the thread in
necklace, penetrates all free and brings
all together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31) “When the One becomes Two, the Threefold appears, and
the Three are One; and it is our Thread, O Lanoo, the Heart of the Man-Plant
called Saptaparna” (Stanza 7.3).
The
One – is the Absolute, the Original Substance.
The One becomes Two – the Spirit is born in the Matter.
The Spirit is born in a
Third Aspect, in the Soul – the Threefold appears, and
the Three are One.
The
Thread – is the basis that holds together and unites.
The
Heart – means the foundation, the Substance.
The
Man-Plant – it is a Heavenly
Man, which is the manifested Universe. The Universe is like a man, exactly – a man like it, for the reason that
in the Universe and in the human the Souls of different quality and different Planes unite together.
The
manifested Universe, like a lotus flower, has its roots in the water, i.e. in Matter (Water – is a
symbol of Matter), but the flowers
(manifestation) above the Water – outside.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32) “It is the Root that never
dies; the Three-tongued Flame of the Four Wicks. The Wicks are the Sparks, that
draw from the Three-tongued Flame shot out by the Seven - their Flame - the
Beams and Sparks of one Moon reflected in the running Waves of all the Rivers
of Earth.”(Stanza 7.4).
The
Root that never dies,
the Root of Man-Plant – this is the Original Substance, Matter, Water.
The
Four Wicks – Four Elements (classification
of particles according to the elements).
The
Three-tongued Flame – there are only three primary colors of elementary particles – red, yellow
and blue. The rest of the existing colors – are the combinations of
the main.
The
Sparks,
the Wicks – all these are synonyms for the
concept of "Soul".
The
Three-tongued Flame shot out by the Seven – the number "7" indicates that the particles
of three primary colors manifest in
seven colors.
One
Moon reflected in the running Waves of all the Rivers of Earth – is one Spirit that
pervades the entire universe, filling
all existing Ethereal Field.
Beams and Sparks – Souls – the result of creation and the
areas of manifestation of the One Moon
– One Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33) “The Spark hangs from the Flame
by the finest thread of Fohat. It journeys through the Seven Worlds of Maya. It
stops in the First, and is a Metal and a Stone; it passes into the Second, and
behold - a Plant; the Plant whirls through seven changes and becomes a Sacred
Animal. From the combined attributes of these, Manu, the Thinker, is formed.
Who forms him? The Seven Lives and the One Life. Who completes him? The
Fivefold Lha. And who perfects the last Body? Fish, Sin, and Soma...” (Stanza 7.5).
The Spark – is a synonym for the Soul.
The Flame – this is One
Spirit.
The finest thread of Fohat – it is the Spirit, manifested in the Soul (particle).
The Seven Worlds of Maya – are the Seven Kingdoms of Nature.
Maya – is the Manifested Universe.
The First, the Second, the
Fivefold Lha – are the
Seven Kingdoms of Nature, where the Seventh – complex – is the Universe.
The First Kingdom – is Mineral, the Second – is Vegetable.
It
(Spark) journeys through the Seven Worlds of Maya – the Souls construct the each Kingdom of Nature.
Manu, the Thinker – is the One Consciousness, woven from the minds of all
particles of the representatives of any of these Kingdoms.
The Seven Lives – are the seven types of Souls, One Life – is One Spirit.
The
Plant whirls through seven changes and becomes a Sacred Animal. The Plant here – it's Man-Plant, and the
Sacred
Animal – is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
And the Man-Plant,
and the Sacred Animal (Lamb)
- are synonyms of manifested Universe,
which sooner or later destined to sink into
oblivion – to plunge into Mahapralaya.
Seven changes – is the change of the Seven Kingdoms, the same as the Seven Days of Creation. The
Spirit turns into Souls – it's called the Wheel, Spirit rotates
in time.
Soul – is the Small Wheel.
The Planes, the kingdom – are the Older
Wheels. In each of them the Spirit also rotates
collectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34) “From the First-born the Thread
between the Silent Watcher and his Shadow becomes more strong and radiant with
every Change. The morning Sunlight has changed into noonday glory...” (Stanza 7.6).
With every change, i.e. every kingdom, the thread,
i.e. Spirit manifests itself with ever greater force – the thread is getting stronger
and all the more radiant with each modification. This is understandable, because gradually coming into incarnation the more energy-intensive Planes.
