stanza 5, slokas 1-5

Stanza V
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.
2. They make of Him the Messenger of their will. The Dzyu becomes Fohat, the swift son of the Divine sons whose sons are the Lipika, runs circular errands. Fohat is the steed and the thought is the rider. He passes like lightning through the fiery clouds; takes three, and five, and seven strides through the seven regions above, and the seven below. He lifts his voice, and calls the innumerable sparks, and joins them.
3. He is their guiding spirit and leader. When he commences work, he separate the sparks of the Lower Kingdom that float and thrill with joy in their radiant dwellings, and form therewith the germs of wheels. He places them in the six directions of space, and one in the middle – the central wheel.
4. Fohat traces spiral lines to unite the sixth to the seventh – the crown; an army of the Sons of Light stands at each angle, and the Lipika in the middle wheel. They say: This is good , the first Divine world is ready, the first is now the second. Then the “Divine Arupa” reflects Itself in Chhaya Loka, the first garment of the Anupadaka.
5. Fohat takes five strides and builds a winged wheel at each corner of the square, for the four holy ones and their armies.

 

“Mr. A. Keightley:  But supposing, for instance, you placed your body in the direct currents of magnetism, which are supposed to proceed from the magnetic pole in North? That is not in the actual axis of the earth.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I never said it was. What do you want to know? What are you driving at?

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  I wanted to find out where these magnetic bad influences come from, with regard to the earth.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  When you are older you will know more; you need not come and burden your young brain with that, because you could not retain it, and it would become like a sieve and it would run through.

 
Mr. Atkinson:  Is it magnetic North, or the geographical North?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  No, magnetic.

 
Mr. Atkinson:  Because they are opposite to the other.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I tell you more. I have just had the honour of telling you we don’t believe in anything going in straight lines.

 
Now, if you put 2+2 together, you will see what I mean; it does not go in straight lines. Therefore, you may say what you like, but unless you know occultism and all the points and everything you cannot know from where it comes and what is meant by it.

 
There is simply the statement that it comes from such and such a thing. It is not meant for those who have {not} learnt occultism and who do not know there remained so many points into which the occultists divide the earth.

 
And whilst you do not know it, how can you know how it passes, when it always goes either in a diagonal line or like that, in spirals, and never in a straight line? Therefore, it is extremely difficult to answer it; it is impossible.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  Then there is some special relation to the currents meant by the words East and West.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Maybe there is, and maybe there is not. This is the sort of thing I am subjected to each Thursday. They will come and cross-examine me and pump out everything they can till Doomsday. I cannot say more than what I know.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  But you don’t say all you do know.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  That is a different thing; you have no right to ask it.”

 
H. P. Blavatsky
