RE SUN -- SPACE & its POTENTIALS 





SUN AND FIRE


"Q. In what relation does the Sun, the highest form of Fire we can
recognize, stand to Fire as you have explained it? 


A. The Sun, as on our plane, is not even "Solar" fire. The Sun, we see,
gives nothing of itself, because it is a reflection; a bundle of
electro-magnetic forces, one of the countless milliards of "Knots of
Fohat." Fohat is called the "Thread of primeval Light," the "Ball of
thread" of Ariadne, indeed, in this labyrinth of chaotic matter. This
thread runs through the seven planes tying itself into knots. Every
plane being septenary, there are thus forty-nine mystical and physical
forces, larger knots forming stars, suns and systems, the smaller
planets, and so on. 


Q. In what respect is the Sun an illusion? 

A. The electro-magnetic knot of our Sun is neither tangible nor
dimensional, nor even as molecular as the electricity we know. The Sun
absorbs, "psychizes" and vampirizes its subjects within its system.
Further than this it gives out nothing of itself. It is an absurdity,
therefore, to say that the solar fires are being consumed and gradually
extinguished. The Sun has but one distinct function; it gives the
impulse of life to all that breathes and lives under its light. 

The sun is the throbbing heart of the system; each throb being an
impulse. But this heart is invisible: no astronomer will ever see it.
That which is concealed in this heart and that which we feel and see,
its apparent flame and fires, to use a simile, are the nerves governing
the muscles of the solar system, and nerves, moreover, outside of the
body. This impulse is not mechanical but a purely spiritual, nervous
impulse."	TRANSACTIONS 116-8



SOLAR MYTHS AND SYMBOLOGY


"Q. How is it that Horus and the other "Son-Gods" are said to be born
"through an immaculate Mother"? 

A. On the first plane of differentiation there is no sex—to use the term
for convenience' sake—but both sexes exist potentially in primordial
matter. Matter is the root of the word "mother" and therefore female;
but there are two kinds of matter. The undifferentiated, primordial
matter is not fecundated by some act in space and time, fertility and
productiveness being inherent in it. Therefore that which emanates or is
born out of that inherent virtue is not born from, but through, it. In
other words, that virtue or quality is the sole cause that this
something manifests through its vehicle; whereas on the physical plane,
Mother-matter is not the active cause but the passive means and
instrument of an independent cause. ...



OCCULT GEOMETRY


Q. How does the Triangle become the Square, and the Square the six-faced
Cube? 

A. In occult and Pythagorean geometry the Tetrad is said to combine
within itself all the materials from which Kosmos is produced. The Point
or One, extends to a Line—the Two; a Line to a Superficies, Three; and
the Superficies, Triad or Triangle, is converted into a Solid, the
Tetrad or Four, by the point being placed over it. Kabalistically
Kether, or Sephira, the Point, emanates Chochmah and Binah, which two,
are the synonym of Mahat, in the Hindu Puranas, and this Triad,
descending into matter, produces the Tetragrammaton, Tetraktys, as also
the lower Tetrad. This number contains both the productive and produced
numbers. The Duad doubled makes a Tetrad and the Tetrad doubled forms a
Hebdomad. From another point of view it is the Spirit, Will, and
Intellect animating the four lower principles."
TRANSACTIONS 67-89



" Sloka (4). (Then) THE THREE (Triangle) FALL INTO THE FOUR
(Quaternary). THE RADIANT ESSENCE BECOMES SEVEN 
INSIDE, SEVEN OUTSIDE. THE LUMINOUS EGG (Hiranyagarbha), 
WHICH IN ITSELF IS THREE (the triple hypostases of Brahma, or 
Vishnu, the three Avasthas) CURDLES AND SPREADS
IN MILK WHITE CURDS THROUGHOUT THE DEPTHS OF 
MOTHER, THE ROOT THAT GROWS IN THE OCEAN OF LIFE. 


Q. Is the Radiant Essence the same as the luminous Egg? What is the Root
that grows in the ocean of life? 

A. The radiant essence, luminous egg or Golden Egg of Brahma, or again,
Hiranyagarbha, are identical. The Root that grows in the ocean of life
is the potentiality that transforms into objective differentiated matter
the universal, subjective, ubiquitous but homogeneous germ, or the
eternal essence which contains the potency of abstract nature. The Ocean
of Life is, according to a term of the Vedanta philosophy—if I mistake
not—the "One Life," Paramatma, when the transcendental supreme Soul is
meant; and Jivatma, when we speak of the physical and animal "breath of
life" or, so to speak, the differentiated soul, that life in short,
which gives being to the atom and the universe, the molecule and the
man, the animal, plant, and mineral. 

"The Radiant Essence curdled and spread through the depths of Space."
>From an astronomical point of view this is easy of explanation: it is
the Milky Way, the world-stuff, or primordial matter in its first form.


Q. Is the Radiant Essence, Milky Way, or world-stuff, resolvable into
atoms, or is it non-atomic? 

A. In its precosmic state it is of course, non-atomic, if by atoms you
mean molecules; for the hypothetical atom, a mere mathematical point, is
not material or applicable to matter, nor even to substance. The real
atom does not exist on the material plane. The definition of a point as
having position, must not, in Occultism, be taken in the ordinary sense
of location; as the real atom is beyond space and time. The word
molecular is really applicable to our globe and its plane, only: once
inside of it, even on the other globes of our planetary chain, matter is
in quite another condition, and non-molecular. The atom is in its
eternal state, invisible even to the eye of an Archangel; and becomes
visible to the latter only periodically, during the life cycle. The
particle, or molecule, is not, but exists periodically, and is therefore
regarded as an illusion. 

The world-stuff informs itself through various planes and cannot be said
to be resolved into stars or to have become molecular until it reaches
the plane of being of the visible or objective Universe. 


Q. Can ether be said to be molecular in Occultism? 

A. It entirely depends upon what is meant by the term. In its lowest
strata, where it merges with the astral light, it may be called
molecular on its own plane; but not for us. But the ether of which
science has a suspicion, is the grossest manifestation of Akasa, though
on our plane, for us mortals, it is the seventh principle of the astral
light, and three degrees higher than "radiant matter." When it
penetrates, or informs something, it may be molecular because it takes
on the form of the latter, and its atoms inform the particles of that
"something." We may perhaps call matter "crystallized ether."


ATOM


Q. But what is an atom, in fact? 

A. An atom may be compared to (and is for the Occultist) the seventh
principle of a body or rather of a molecule. The physical or chemical
molecule is composed of an infinity of finer molecules and these in
their turn of innumerable and still finer molecules. Take for instance a
molecule of iron and so resolve it that it becomes non-molecular; it is
then, at once transformed into one of its seven principles, viz., its
astral body; the seventh of these is the atom. The analogy between a
molecule of iron, before it is broken up, and this same molecule after
resolution, is the same as that between a physical body before and after
death. The principles remain minus the body. Of course this is occult
alchemy, not modern chemistry. 



CHURNING OF THE OCEAN (SPACE) 


Q. What is the meaning of the allegorical "churning of the ocean," and
"cow of plenty" of the Hindus, and what correspondence is there between
them and the "war in heaven"? 

A. A process which begins in the state of "non-being," and ends with the
close of Maha-Pralaya, can hardly be given in a few words or even
volumes. It is simply an allegorical representation of the unseen and
unknown primeval intelligences, the atoms of occult science, Brahma
himself being called Anu or the Atom, fashioning and differentiating the
shoreless ocean of the primordial radiant essence. 

The relation and correspondence between the "churning of the ocean" and
the "war in heaven" is a very long and abstruse subject to handle. To
give it in its lowest symbolical aspect, this "war in heaven" is going
on eternally. Differentiation is contrast, the equilibrium of
contraries: and so long as this exists there will be "war" or fighting.
There are, of course, different stages and aspects of this war: such for
instance as the astronomical and physical. 

For everyone and everything that is born in a Manvantara, there is "war
in heaven" and also on the earth: for the fourteen Root and Seed-Manus
who preside over our Manvantaric cycle, and for the countless Forces,
human or otherwise, that proceed from them. There is a perpetual
struggle of adjustment, for everything tends to harmonize and
equilibrate; in fact it must do so before it can assume any shape. 

The elements of which we are formed, the particles of our bodies, are in
a continual war, one crowding out the other and changing with every
moment. At the "Churning of the Ocean" by the gods, the Nagas came and
some stole of the Amrita—the water of Immortality,—and thence arose war
between the gods and the Asuras, the no-gods, and the gods were worsted.

This refers to the formation of the Universe and the differentiation of
the primordial primeval matter. But you must remember, that this is only
the cosmogonical aspect—one out of the seven meanings. The war in heaven
had also immediate reference to the evolution of the intellectual
principle in mankind. This is the metaphysical key.

ESSENCE IN SPACE


" Q. Why is the radiant essence said to become seven inside and seven
outside? 

A. Because it has seven principles on the plane of the manifested and
seven on that of the unmanifested. Always argue on analogy and apply the
old occult axiom "As above so below." 


Q. But are the planes of "non-being" also Septenary? 

A. Most undeniably. That which in the Secret Doctrine is referred to as
the unmanifested planes, are unmanifested or planes of non-being only
from the point of view of the finite intellect; to higher intelligences
they would be manifested planes and so on to infinity, analogy always
holding good.." TRANSACTIONS 112



FIRE & LIGHT SOLAR -- COSMIC


"Sloka (6). THE ROOT OF LIFE WAS IN EVERY DROP OF THE OCEAN OF
IMMORTALITY (Amrita) AND THE OCEAN WAS RADIANT LIGHT, WHICH WAS FIRE AND
HEAT AND MOTION. DARKNESS VANISHED AND WAS NO MORE. IT DISAPPEARED IN
ITS OWN ESSENCE, THE BODY OF FIRE AND WATER, OF FATHER AND MOTHER. 

Q. What are the various meanings of the term "fire" on the different
planes of Kosmos? 

A. Fire is the most mystic of all the five elements, as also the most
divine. Therefore to give an explanation of its various meanings on our
plane alone, leaving all the other planes entirely out of the question,
would be much too arduous, in addition to its being entirely
incomprehensible for the vast majority. 

Fire is the father of light, light the parent of heat and air (vital
air). If the absolute deity can be referred to as Darkness or the Dark
Fire, the light, its first progeny, is truly the first self-conscious
god. For what is light in its primordial root but the world-illuminating
and life-giving deity? 

Light is that, which from an abstraction has become a reality. No one
has ever seen real or primordial light; what we see is only its broken
rays or reflections, which become denser and less luminous as they
descend into form and matter. Fire, therefore, is a term which
comprehends ALL. 

Fire is the invisible deity, "the Father," and the manifesting light is
God "the Son," and also the Sun. Fire—in the occult sense—is æther, and
æther is born of motion, and motion is the eternal dark, invisible Fire.


Light sets in motion and controls all in nature, from that highest
primordial æther down to the tiniest molecule in Space. MOTION is
eternal per se, and in the manifested Kosmos it is the Alpha and Omega
of that which is called electricity, galvanism, magnetism,
sensation—moral and physical—thought, and even life, on this plane. Thus
fire, on our plane, is simply the manifestation of motion, or Life. 

All cosmic phenomena were referred to by the Rosicrucians as "animated
geometry." Every polar function is only a repetition of primeval
polarity, said the Fire-Philosophers. For motion begets heat, and æther
in motion is heat. When it slackens its motion, then cold is generated,
for "cold is æther, in a latent condition." 

Thus the principal states of nature are three positive and three
negative, synthesized by the primeval light. The three negative states
are (1) Darkness; (2) Cold; (3) Vacuum or Voidness. The three positive
are (1) Light (on our plane); (2) Heat; (3) All nature. Thus Fire may be
called the unity of the Universe.

Pure cosmic fire (without, so to speak, fuel) is Deity in its
universality; for cosmic fire, or heat which it calls forth, is every
atom of matter in manifested nature. There is not a thing or a particle
in the Universe which does not contain in it latent fire. 


Q. Fire, then, may be regarded as the first Element? 

A. When we say that fire is the first of the Elements, it is the first
only in the visible universe, the fire that we commonly know. Even on
the highest plane of our universe, the plane of Globe A or G, fire is in
one respect only the fourth. For the Occultist, the Rosecroix of the
Middle Ages, and even the mediaeval Kabalists, said that to our human
perception and even to that of the highest "angels," the universal Deity
is darkness, and from this Darkness issues the Logos in the following
aspects, (1) Weight (Chaos which becomes æther in its primordial state);
(2) Light; (3) Heat; (4) Fire."	Trans 115-6



CURDS IN SPACE -- PRIMORDIAL MATTER / SUBSTANCE



"THE ROOT REMAINS, THE LIGHT REMAINS, THE CURDS REMAIN,
AND STILL OEAOHOO IS ONE. 


Q. What is meant by saying that these remain? 

A. It means simply that whatever the plurality of manifestation may be,
still it is all one. In other words these are all different aspects of
the one element; it does not mean that they remain without
differentiation. 

"The curds are the first differentiation, and probably refer also to
that cosmic matter which is supposed to be the origin of the 'Milky
Way'—the matter we know. This 'matter,' which, according to the
revelation received from the primeval Dhyani-Buddhas, is, during the
periodical sleep of the Universe, of the ultimate tenuity conceivable to
the eye of the perfect Bodhisatva—this matter, radical and cool,
becomes, at the first reawakening of cosmic motion, scattered through
Space; appearing, when seen from the Earth, in clusters and lumps, like
curds in thin milk. These are the seeds of the future worlds, the
'Star-stuff'.


Q. Is it to be supposed that the Milky Way is composed of matter in a
state of differentiation other than that with which we are acquainted? 

A. I thoroughly believe so. It is the store-house of the materials from
which the stars, planets and other celestial bodies are produced. Matter
in this state does not exist on earth; but that which is already
differentiated and found on earth is also found on other planets and
vice-versa. But, as I understand, before reaching the planets from its
condition in the Milky Way matter has first to pass through many stages
of differentiation. The matter, for instance, within the Solar system is
in an entirely different state from that which is outside or beyond the
system. 



NEBULAE -- MILKY WAY


Q. Is there a difference between the Nebulae and the Milky Way? 

A. The same, I should say, that there is between a highway road and the
stones and mud upon that road. There must be, of course, a difference
between the matter of the Milky Way and that of the various Nebulae, and
these again must differ among themselves. But in all your scientific
calculations and measurements it is necessary to consider that the light
by which the objects are seen is a reflected light, and the optical
illusion caused by the atmosphere of the earth renders it impossible
that calculations of distances, etc., should be absolutely correct, in
addition to the fact that it entirely alters observations of the matter
of which the celestial bodies are composed, as it is liable to impose
upon us a constitution similar to that of the earth. This is, at any
rate, what the MASTERS teach us." ( see S D I 142-3)
Trans 113 -4

-----------------------------------



The study and thinking that THEOSOPHY induces, causes us to probe our
own natures and develop our mental capacities and independence. (It is
really a high level of inter-dependence.

In that, they are aids to self-education without demanding any "belief."
They impose nothing and they rely on logic that is common sense.  

No 'Miracles," -- nor are there any abnormal "powers" exhibited. And
yet, the innate power we all have is revealed, slowly but surely to us.
It is an inner development, and not "extraordinary." What is potential
in us is now being revealed by our own will to practise and learn. 

Let me add this: mere attending a "meeting" does little for the
attendee, but the interest that may be aroused from what is discussed
might make it significant.  

Most people go to temples, meetings, visit "gurus," etc, in the hope
that they will receive -- actually if they go there to think about what
can be learned it would be better. The power of our "attitude" is also
to be considered as we give as well as take. It is sharing at its best.

As I see it, it is like attending a class. One goes there to acquire
additional learning. Then, thinking about that, we add to our store of
knowledge and memory, and if what comes in is TRUE, then our individual
store of accessible WISDOM grows. There are always universal
applications to be made from anything TRUE, that we learn and
understand. But we have to do independently and voluntarily, the
"applying.":

There has to be some active interaction as well as intelligent
selection, comparison and additions -- Take the position our universe
is a very sensitive and entirely INTELLIGENT and CONSCIOUS entirety (as
well as being the ONE UNIVERSAL GOD). We are a part of it. We either
"fit in" or, we make a stir and a disturbance because we "feel" we ought
to be unique and independent.  

What does NATURE (GOD) do? It continues to feed, cherish and support
us, but also it reacts to the extent of the disturbance we create in it.
It tries to restore its disturbed patterns so that all beings
(especially those we have disturbed) benefit. If we refuse to comply,
then we suffer. And this action / reaction is what is called KARMA.  

This is not becoming (or making us servilely subservient) or
subordinate to LAW, the UNIVERSE, or to a "GOD." It means that we (in
true humility) learn to appreciate the laws of brotherhood, supportive
interaction and cooperation that make each and every part harmonize with
all the rest. No even then, occurs around us that does not have
significance, and we need to become sensitive to this fact -- if we
desire to become true assistants to NATURE / GOD.

All good wishes,

Dallas
