I find it relatively hard to question on any given part of the SD or 
Isis. HPB is usually very thorough . I still have trouble 
determining the causation of the seven principal instead of the eight 
.
--(one begotten son)--

With exceptions of the questions is anybody here ably to show other 
examples of the processes of this paragraph?

What does she mean by Abstract Thought? Chaos?

What evidence suggest that 7 sephiroths would be left out of a triple triad?

Is there any other places where hpb or any other uses the 
term Uni-triad?
