cosmogenesis: the septenary hierarchies (stanza iv)

“5.    …WHICH IS:

 
“DARKNESS”, THE BOUNDLESS OR THE NO-NUMBER, THE ADI-NIDANA SVABHAVAT: THE O (FOR X, UNKNOWN QUANTITY):

 
I. THE ADI-SANAT, THE NUMBER, FOR HE IS ONE.
II. THE VOICE OF THE WORD, SVABHAVAT, THE NUMBERS, FOR HE IS ONE AND NINE.
III. THE “FORMLESS SQUARE” (ARUPA).

 
AND THESE THREE ENCLOSED WITHIN THE O (BOUNDLESS CIRCLE) ARE THE SACRED FOUR, AND THE TEN ARE THE ARUPA (SUBJECTIVE, FORMLESS) UNIVERSE;

 
THEN COME THE “SONS”, THE SEVEN FIGHTERS, THE ONE, THE EIGHTH LEFT OUT, AND HIS BREATH WHICH IS THE LIGHT-MAKER (BHASKARA).

 
“Adi-Sanat”, translated literally is the First or “primeval” ancient.

 
Svabhavat is the mystic Essence, the plastic root of physical Nature – “Numbers” when manifested.

 
O This means that the “Boundless Circle” (Zero) becomes a figure or number, only when one of the nine figures precedes it, and thus manifests its value and potency, the Word or Logos in union with VOICE and Spirit (the expression and source of Consciousness) standing for the nine figures and thus forming, with the Cipher, the Decad which contains in itself all the Universe.

 
The triad forms within the circle or Tetraktys or Sacred Four, the Square within the Circle being the most potent of all the magical figures.

 
The “One Rejected” is the Sun of our system.

 
The Occult Doctrine rejects the hypothesis born out of the Nebular Theory, that the (seven) great planets have evolved from the Sun’s central mass, not of this our visible Sun, at any rate.

 
The first condensation of Cosmic matter took place about a central nucleus, its parent Sun; but our Sun, it is taught, merely detached itself earlier than all the others, as the rotating mass contracted, and is their elder, bigger brother therefore, not their father.

 
The “Breath” of all the “seven” is said to be Bhaskara (light-making), because they (the planets) were all comets and suns in their origin.

 
They evolve into Manvantaric life from primeval Chaos by aggregation and accumulation of the primary differentiations of the eternal matter.

 
Heat (the Breath), attraction and repulsion – the three great factors of Motion – are the conditions under which all the members of all this primitive family are born, developed, and die, to be reborn after a “Night of Brahma”, during which eternal matter relapses periodically into its primary undifferentiated state.”
