Stanza IV
5. “Darkness” The Boundless, or the No-Number, Adi-Nidana Svabhavat: –
I. The Adi-Sanat, the number, for He is One.
II. The voice of the Lord Svabhavat, the numbers, for he is one and nine.
III. The “Formless Square.”
And these three enclosed with the O are the Sacred Four; and the ten are the Arupa Universe. Then come the “sons”, the seven fighters, the one, the eighth left out, and His breath which is the light-maker.
“Mr. B. Keightley: A rather daring representative of modern wisdom suggested the idea that the tail of the comet is not matter at all, but is an optical illusion, produced in some way (Which he did not attempt to explain) by some electrical action of the solid nucleus of the connect –
Mme. Blavatsky: Whoever he is, he is a very wise man, because it is almost what we say. It is a phenomenon of vision.
Mr. B. Keightley: Upon the matter through which the head of the comet was traveling, and its direction, was dependent upon some other things that I do not exactly remember.
Mme. Blavatsky: It is not quite so, because there is something; but it is not matter.
Mr. B. Keightley: But then, that is it. The difficulty of the explanation is in this: supposing, however, ethereally, and then you suppose the matter of the comet’s tail to be the velocity with which it travels when, for instance, it approaches the Sun – and the tail is streaming away from the Sun – the body of the head of the comet reaches a point there, and the tail must move with enormous velocity, something too much to be expressed by figures.
Mr. Kingsland: Like a ray of light flashed round your eyes.
Mr. B. Keightley: Just as if you flashed a ray of light through a mirror.
Mme. Blavatsky: Not to the velocity or vibrations of the violet ray of which we spoke the other day.
Mr. B. Keightley: That is our vibrations in an actual transference of matter.
Mme. Blavatsky: How does motion manifest itself – the eternal motion, the in-breathing and the out-breathing which never will begin and never had an end? Those vibrations are certainly one of the causes of that manifestation of the motion in its various phases.
Mr. ________: How should we take the tail of the comet as visible, if it does not consist of matter?
Mme. Blavatsky: How would you say if you were shown a kind of thing – how do you explain those things the astronomers show – a shadow? It is not tangible and yet you see it; it is a reflection.”
