stanza 6, sloka 5

Stanza VI, Sloka 5

5. At the fourth, the sons are told to create their images. One third refuses – to obey.
The curse is pronounced; they will be born on the fourth suffer and cause suffering; this is the first war.

 

 

“Mr. B. Keightley:  Question 3, page 172. What are the seven principles of the globes which are transferred one after the other to the globes of the new chain?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Each globe has seven principles which are correlative with the seven principles in man; but this must not be understood to mean that the seven principles are represented by the Monads which are performing their cyclic pilgrimages through the seven kingdoms of nature.

 
For example, the seventh or highest principle of the planet is not the Monads which have reached the human stage of development, but the planet as a whole has its own seven principles, as any other body has.

 
To make it clear. The Earth has its physical or material body, its astral body, its life principle, its animal nature, its instincts, or lower Manas, its higher intelligence which it imparts to and shares with some of the animals, its Buddhi, composed of the gnomes, or earth elementals, and its Atman, represented by an intelligence called the spirit of the Earth, which some Kabbalists have identified with Jehovah.

 
This latter belief was a dogma with the Valentinians and the Ophites, who said that the God of the Jews was simply the spirit of the Earth.

 
You will find this if you read the Valentinians. They all say that the God was the spirit of the last terrestrial plane which created this, and then you can read the corrections that are there, with this Bahak-Zivo, and Fetahil and so on. Did you ever read this? It is the most interesting thing in the world, only, unfortunately, it is not translated and you can only get it in Latin. It is one of the oldest gospels, and one of the most interesting. (Reference to Codex Nazaraeus)

 
Mr. Mead:  Would you mind reading that again? Not the explanations of the principles, but the last principles of the Earth upwards.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  (Reads again, “The earth has its physical”, etc., etc.)”
