cosmogenesis: fohat…the child of the septenary hierarchies (stanza v)

“6.    THE LIPIKA CIRCUMSCRIBE THE TRIANGLE, THE FIRST ONE (THE VERTICAL LINE OR THE FIGURE 1), THE CUBE, THE SECOND ONE, AND THE PENTACLE WITHIN THE EGG (CIRCLE).

 
IT IS THE RING CALLED “PASS NOT” FOR THOSE WHO DESCEND AND ASCEND (AS ALSO FOR THOSE) WHO, DURING THE KALPA, ARE PROGRESSING TOWARD THE GREAT DAY “BE WITH US”…THUS WERE FORMED THE ARUPA AND THE RUPA (THE FORMLESS WORLD AND THE WORLD OF FORMS);

 
FROM ONE LIGHT SEVEN LIGHTS; FROM EACH OF THE SEVEN, SEVEN TIMES SEVEN LIGHTS.

 
THE “WHEELS” WATCH THE RING.

 
The esoteric meaning of the first sentence of the sloka is, that those who have been called Lipikas, the Recorders of the Karmic ledger, make an impassable barrier between the personal EGO and the impersonal SELF, the Noumenon and Parent-Source of the former.

 
Hence the allegory. They circumscribe the manifested world of matter within the RING “Pass-Not”.

 
Those who “descend and ascend” – the incarnating Monads, and men striving toward purification and “ascending”, but still not having quite reached the goal – may cross the “circle of Pass-Not”, only on the day “Be-With-Us”;

 
that day when man, freeing himself from trammels of ignorance, and recognizing fully the non-separateness of the Ego within his personality – erroneously regarded as his own – from the UNIVERSAL EGO (Anima Supra-Mundi), merges thereby into the One Essence to become not only one “with us” (the manifested universal lives which are “ONE” LIFE), but that very life itself.”

 

H. P. Blavatsky
