Dear Peter:

Let me insert below in the body of your text some notes:

Subject: [bn-sd] RE: Stanza III Sloka One

Dear Dallas,

Thanks for what you write. I've been reflecting on the passage
you sent in
from TRANSACTIONS of BLAVATSKY LODGE which relates specifically
to our
Stanza III. I include it again:


DTB
In TRANSACTIONS OF THE BLAVATSKY LODGE (ULT) , p. 93-4
BLAVATSKY: Collected Works (TPH) Vol. 10, pp 252 - 266}
H.P.Blavatsky comments on this in response to questions from her
friends:

"There is no Time at this stage. There is neither Space nor Time
when beginning is made; but it is all in Space and Time, once
that differentiation sets in.

At the time of the primordial radiation, or when the Second Logos
emanates, it is Father-Mother potentially, but when the Third or
manifested Logos appears, it becomes the Virgin-Mother....

from the appearance of the Third. It is here that the great
difference between the two lies...

The "last vibration" begins outside of Time and Space, and ends
with the Third Logos, when Time and Space begin, i.e., periodical
time.

The Second Logos partaking of both the essences of the first and
the last.

There is no differentiation with the First Logos;
differentiation only begins in latent World-Thought, with the
Second Logos, and receives its full expression, i.e., becomes the
"Word" made flesh--with the Third." [TRANS. pp. 93-4]

==============

P M

As well as speaking about cosmology does it not also speak to us
of our own
nature and essence. At the core of our Being, the central point,
there is
no differentiation - the central point is nowhere and everywhere.
It is the
ONE-ONLY-ONE of the Egyptians.


DTB
The universal laws of "analogy and correspondence" SECRET
DOCTRINE I 173. H.P.Blavatsky says "Analogy is thus the surest
guide to the comprehension of the Occult teachings." S D II 66,
she again says: "Evolution proceeds on the
laws of analogy in Kosmos as in the formation of the smallest
globe."

We find a further expansion of this central IDEA : S D I 542:
"Occult philosophy has taught...the principle of the immutable
law of analogy--"as it is above, so it is below." -- that other
axiom, THAT THERE IS NEITHER SPIRIT NOR MATTER, in reality, BUT
ONLY NUMBERLESS ASPECTS OF THE ONE EVER-HIDDEN IS (or SAT). The
homogeneous primordial Element is SIMPLE and single ONLY ON THE
TERRESTRIAL PLANE of consciousness and sensation, since matter,
after all, is nothing else than the sequence of our own states of
consciousness, and Spirit an idea of psychic intuition." [S D I
542 ]
:
To my mind this says that the most infinitesimal speck of
"matter" has the same potentialities of the Universe. It is we
the independent thinkers (humanity, in all its aspects, and
constantly reincarnating under the impulse of its chosen Karmic
aims) who are limiting our thoughts, truncating them from the
metaphysical ultimates and infinites and somewhere, we are
letting ourselves LIMIT THEM.

========================

PM

At the other end of the spectrum, the "Word" (Logos) made flesh,
we see
differentiation everywhere.

Yet perhaps the 'saving grace' is that which is the Second Logos
within us,
because it partakes of the essence of both. There is that within
us which
partakes of the nature of both time and timeless, form and
formless.

Perhaps each of us, at heart, IS that "last vibration" which
begins outside
of Time and Space and ends up "when Time and Space begin".
Perhaps it is
'that' timeless something which 'thrills' in the heart at
times... causing
it to expand from within out.


DTB

I think you are quite right in this thinking. The universal is
not limited in any way by our concepts (as at present) of SIZE.
Nor does its potency have anything to do with the limits of time,
location, or composition that our physical brain-minds impose on
our thinking.

==================

"1. THE LAST VIBRATION OF THE SEVENTH ETERNITY THRILLS THROUGH
INFINITUDE
(a). THE MOTHER SWELLS, EXPANDING FROM WITHIN WITHOUT LIKE THE
BUD OF THE
LOTUS (b)."


DTB
This "last vibration" or any "starting vibration" are always
related even though there is a time-lapse of rest and
non-consciousness on one or several planes of being. The
persistence of the MONAD ( the HIGHER EGO overshadowed by the
ONE SPIRIT -- either in whole or as a fragment --) simply
persists eternally.

It is our physical brain-limited minds, Lower Manas, that is
obsessed by locating and defining things. It is an aspect of its
SELFISHNESS. We have to pierce through that veil. That's as I
see it.

Best wishes as always,

Dal
