Dear Friend:

Glad to meet you. We too are students of the VOICE OF THE
SILENCE -- but how, and who hears?

The silence speaks when all else is still, is it not the
inner voice ?


Of teachers there are many, the Master Soul is One, Alaya,
the UNIVERSAL SOUL. Live in that Master as Its ray in thee.
Live in thy fellows as they live in IT."


"What is that which was, is, and will be, whether there is a
Universe or not; whether there be gods or none?" asks the
esoteric Senzar Catechism. And the answer made is -- SPACE.

It is not the One Unknown ever-present God in Nature, or
Nature in abscondito, that is rejected, but the God of human
dogma and his humanized "Word." In his infinite conceit and
inherent pride and vanity, man shaped it himself with his
sacrilegious hand out of the material he found in his own
small brain-fabric, and forced it upon mankind as a direct
revelation from the one unrevealed SPACE.


"What is it that ever is?" "Space, the eternal Anupadaka."

"What is it that ever was?" -- "The Germ in the Root."

"What is it that is ever coming and going?" -- "The Great
Breath."

"Then, there are three Eternals?" -- "No, the three are
one. That which ever is, is one, that which ever was is one,
that which is ever being and becoming is also one: and this
is Space."

"Explain, oh Lanoo (disciple)." -- "The One is an unbroken
Circle (ring) with no circumference, for it is nowhere and
everywhere; the One is the boundless plane of the Circle,
manifesting a diameter only during the manvantaric periods;
the One is the indivisible point found nowhere, perceived
everywhere during those periods; it is the Vertical and the
Horizontal, the Father and the Mother, the summit and base
of the Father, the two extremities of the Mother, reaching
in reality nowhere, for the One is the Ring as also the
rings that are within that Ring.

Light in darkness and darkness in light: the 'Breath which
is eternal.'

It proceeds from without inwardly, when it is everywhere,
and from within outwardly, when it is nowhere -- (i.e.,
maya, one of the centres).

It expands and contracts (exhalation and inhalation).

When it expands the mother diffuses and scatters; when it
contracts, the mother draws back and ingathers.

This produces the periods of Evolution and Dissolution,
Manwantara and Pralaya. The Germ is invisible and fiery; the
Root (the plane of the circle) is cool; but during Evolution
and Manwantara her garment is cold and radiant.

Hot Breath is the Father who devours the progeny of the
many-faced Element (heterogeneous); and leaves the
single-faced ones (homogeneous).

Cool Breath is the Mother, who conceives, forms, brings
forth, and receives them back into her bosom, to reform them
at the Dawn (of the Day of Brahma, or Manvantara). . . . ."


This passage will be explained, as far as it is
possible.....as it now stands, it contains nothing new to
the Orientalist, its esoteric interpretation may contain a
good deal which has hitherto remained entirely unknown to
the Western student.
The first illustration being a plain disc the second one in
the Archaic symbol shows , a disc with a point in it -- the
first differentiation in the periodical manifestations of
the ever-eternal nature, sexless and infinite "Aditi in
THAT" (Rig Veda), the point in the disc, or potential Space
within abstract Space. In its third stage the point is
transformed into a diameter, thus It now symbolises a divine
immaculate Mother-Nature within the all-embracing absolute
Infinitude.

When the diameter line is crossed by a vertical one , it
becomes the mundane cross. Humanity has reached its third
root-race; it is the sign for the origin of human life to
begin. When the circumference disappears and leaves only the
it is a sign that the fall of man into matter is
accomplished, and the FOURTH race begins. The Cross within a
circle symbolises pure Pantheism; when the Cross was left
uninscribed, it became phallic. It had the same and yet
other meanings as a TAU inscribed within a circle or as a
"Thor's hammer," the Jaina cross, so-called, or simply
Svastica within a circle
By the third symbol -- the circle divided in two by the
horizontal line of the diameter -- the first manifestation
of creative (still passive, because feminine) Nature was
meant. The first shadowy perception of man connected with
procreation is feminine, because man knows his mother more
than his father. Hence female deities were more sacred than
the male. Nature is therefore feminine, and, to a degree,
objective and tangible, and the spirit Principle which
fructifies it is concealed. By adding to the circle with the
horizontal line in it, a perpendicular line, the tau was
formed -- -- -- the oldest form of the letter.

It was the glyph of the third root-race to the day of its
symbolical Fall -- i.e., when the separation of sexes by
natural evolution took place -- when the figure became , the
circle, or sexless life modified or separated -- a double
glyph or symbol. With the races of our Fifth Race it became
in symbology the sacr', and in Hebrew n'cabvah, of the
first-formed races;* then it changed into the Egyptian
(emblem of life), and still later into the sign of Venus,
Then comes the Svastica (Thor's hammer, or the "Hermetic
Cross" now), entirely separated from its Circle, thus
becoming purely phallic. The esoteric symbol of Kali Yuga
[the Black Age] is the five-pointed star reversed, thus --
the sign of human sorcery, with its two points (horns)
turned heavenward, a position every Occultist will recognize
as one of the "left-hand," and used in ceremonial magic.
