The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky -- Vol. 2 

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

[[Vol. 2, Page]] 563 THE SEVEN THUNDERS. 
§ XXIII.
THE UPANISHADS IN GNOSTIC LITERATURE.
We are reminded in King's "Gnostics" that the Greek language has but 
one word for vowel and voice; and this has led the uninitiated to 
many erroneous interpretations. On the simple knowledge, however, of 
that well-known fact a comparison may be attempted, and a flood of 
light thrown upon several mystic meanings. Thus the words, so often 
used in the Upanishads and the Puranas, "Sound" and "Speech," may be 
collated with the Gnostic "Vowels" and the "Voices" of the Thunders 
and Angels in "Revelation." The same will be found in Pistis Sophia, 
and other ancient Fragments and MSS. This was remarked even by the 
matter-of-fact author of "The Gnostics and their Remains." 

Through Hippolytus, an early Church Father, we learn what Marcus -- a 
Pythagorean rather than a Christian Gnostic, and a Kabalist most 
certainly -- had received in mystic revelation. It is said 
that "Marcus had it revealed unto him that 'the seven 
heavens'* . . . . sounded each one vowel, which, all combined 
together, formed a complete doxology"; in clearer words: "the Sound 
whereof being carried down (from these seven heavens) to earth, 
became the creator and parent of all things that be on earth." 
(See "Hippolytus," vi., 48, and King's Gnostics, p. 200.) Translated 
from the Occult phraseology into still plainer language this would 
read: "The Sevenfold LOGOS having differentiated into seven Logoi, or 
creative potencies (vowels) these (the second logos, or "Sound") 
created all on Earth.
