stanza 4, sloka 6

STANZA IV.
6. Then the second seven, who are the Lipika, produced by the three. The rejected son is one. The “Son-suns” are countless.

 

 

“The President:  Can you tell us exactly how the Lipika would correspond with the archetypal worlds of the Kabalists? Is it between that and the next?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  The Kabalists have only four worlds and we have seven, because they leave out entirely the three upper ones and begin counting simply the archetypal world, which is the highest Astral Light, just the four, there it is; but the others are left in silence, and they are not spoken about.

 
The President:  The Lipika really are on the plane which is above the archetypal world.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Together they are on that plane, because their world begins where our globe A begins. And if you take The Secret Doctrine, you find there the divisions of the four planes; you see four planes; it begins there just above our sphere. Their archetypal world goes down, they have got only four worlds.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  That places, so to speak, the Lipika in relation to the kabalistic conception and to the evolution perfectly. They are on the highest plane corresponding to the highest plane of our chain of globes.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  What is the use of taking a language no one would understand and cannot even conceive of?

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  Question 3. What is the difference made here between Word, Voice and Spirit?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  The same is between Atman, Buddhi and Manas. In one sense, spirit emanates from the unknown darkness into the mystery of which none of us can penetrate.

 
That spirit – call it the Spirit of God that moves on the face of the waters, if you like, or primordial substance – the spirit mirrors itself in these waters and produces thereby the first flutter of differentiation in the homogeneousness of primordial matter.

 
This is the voice, the first flutter of differentiated matter, if you like, in this sense manifestation number one, and from that voice emanates the word or Logos, that is to say, the definite and objective expression of that which has hitherto remained in the depths of the concealed thought.

 
Of course we cannot begin here about colours and sounds and all that, but I tell you kabalistically, and kabalistically you will find that. And mind you the one that mirrors itself in space is the third Logos; they call it the unknown.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  Then speaking there as you spoke, the Logos there is the subdivided seven Logoi.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Yes.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  And the voice is the synthesis of the Logos?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  It is just like saying, as we say in the esoteric thing, the colour, the sound, and numbers. Well, the Logoi ought to stand for numbers, then, in this sense, or the numbers will come after that when they divide the hierarchies.

 
Mr. Gardner: What stands for the colour?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Well, you try to dream of it.”

 
H. P. Blavatsky
