SUBJECT:  The Absolute & the 3 Logoi:  A picture is worth a 1000 words

(1)  Can a student relate the concept of the Absolute & the 3 Logoi to
the circle,
the circle with the dot , the circle with the diameter, etc. which is
found in the
SD, I, 4-5?  For HPB's words, see
http://www.azstarnet.com/~blafoun/sdcircl2.htm

(2)  Also see  http://www.azstarnet.com/~blafoun/circle7b.htm where the
artist has
integrated the different symbols together.  Does the arrangement suggest
stages of
unfoldment or manifestation?   Does one perceive "motion" in this
picture?  Is this
picture illustrative of the Absolute and the 3 Logoi?

(3)  See http://www.azstarnet.com/~blafoun/marduk7b.htm illustrating the
battle of
Marduk and Tiamat.  Can one relate Marduk and Tiamat to the Absolute and
the 3
Logoi?  To what stage of "creation"?

(4)  In the last illustration
http://www.azstarnet.com/~blafoun/vishnu7b.htm we see
Vishnu reclining on Ananta and a lotus sprouts forth from Vishnu's
navel.  Who is
seated within the lotus?  Can you perceive a relation between this
picture of
"creation" and the concept of the Absolute and the 3 Logoi?  Also do you
see the
circle, the circle with the dot , the circle with the diameter, etc. in
this
picture of Vishnu?

Some food for thought.
