“(In stanza V the process of world-formation is described: First, diffused Cosmic Matter, then the fiery “whirlwind”, the first stage in the formation of nebula.)
1. THE PRIMORDIAL SEVEN, THE FIRST SEVEN BREATHS OF THE DRAGON OF WISDOM, PRODUCE IN THEIR TURN FROM THEIR HOLY CIRCUMGYRATING BREATHS THE FIERY WHIRLWIND.
The “fiery Wind” in the incandescent Cosmic dust which only follows magnetically, as the iron filings follow the magnet, the directing thought of the “Creative Forces”.
Yet this cosmic dust is something more; for every atom in the Universe has the potentiality of self-consciousness in it, and is, like the Monads of Liebnitz, a Universe in itself, and for itself.
It is an atom and an angel.
The Doctrine teaches that, in order to become fully a divine, fully conscious god – aye, even the highest – the Spiritual primeval INTELLIGENCES must pass through the human stage.
And when we say human, this does not apply merely to our terrestrial humanity, but to the mortals that inhabit any world, i.e., to those Intelligences that have reached the appropriate equilibrium between matter and spirit, as we have now.
Each Entity must have won for itself the right of becoming divine, through self-experience.”
H. P. Blavatsky
