cosmogenesis: the septenary hierarchies (stanza iv)

“4.    THIS WAS THE ARMY OF THE VOICE – THE DIVINE SEPTENARY.

 
THE SPARKS OF THE SEVEN ARE SUBJECT TO, AND THE SERVANTS OF, THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, AND THE SEVENTH OF THE SEVEN.

 
THESE (“SPARKS”) ARE CALLED SPHERES, TRIANGLES, CUBES, LINES, AND MODELLERS; FOR THUS STANDS THE ETERNAL NIDANA – THE OI-HA-HOU (ceaseless and Eternal Cosmic Motion; the ever-acting Cause) THE PERMUTATION OF OEAOHOO.

 
This sloka gives again a brief analysis of the Hierarchies of the Dhyani-Chohans, or the conscious intelligent powers in Nature.

 
The “army of the Voice” is a term closely connected with the mystery of Sound and Speech, as an effect and corollary of the cause – Divine Thought.

 
Next we see Cosmic scattering and forming itself into elements; grouped into the mystic four within the fifth element – Ether, the lining of Akasa, the Anima Mundi or Mother of Kosmos.

 
There is an inherent law – not only in the primordial, but also in the manifested matter of our phenomenal plane – by which Nature correlates her geometrical forms, and later, also, her compound elements; and in which there is no place for accident or chance.

 
It is a fundamental law in Occultism that there is no rest or cessation of Motion in Nature.

 
That which seems rest is only the changing of one form into another; the change of substance going hand in hand with that of form.”

 

H. P. Blavatsky
