Maybe the following will help.
The word AUM (by reading "in and around the words and between the lines" as
HPB suggested) is a symbolical representation (in the shape of the letters,
e.g., draw aum as three connected sine waves) of the first three cycles of
radiation from the zero-point "spinergy" (G-force or primal angular momentum in an
abstract spiral vortex circular motion or spin) of the Absolute zero-point
void. For a slightly humorous look at how these 3 cycles are inherent in the
eternal zero [laya] point, see:
http://users.aol.com/leonmaurer/BuddhaBabyGordianKnot.gif
Thus, these initial three cycles of linear force, when expressed or radiated,
form the first ideal triune 2D circular monadic field (first awakening or 1st
logos) which -- since the point of origin also spins on its axis in a
perpendicular direction to the original emanation of the G-force from its opposite
poles -- weaves itself into 3 spherical fields to form the first fully manifest
3D universal Monad (second Cosmic awakening or 2nd Logos).
After this, as Mahat, Perusha and Prakriti are fully awake, the inner dual
fields, empowered by the manifest energy of Fohat and Guided by Mahat, fractally
involve in two more iterations until the first Fourteen universal fields are
completed (final Cosmic awakening or 3rd logos).
This completed Cosmic involution follows the formula in the Book of Dzyan,
"The three, the one, the four, the one, the five, the twice seven, the sum
total" -- representing the enfolded seven spiritual and the seven material levels
of Cosmic consciousness at the third logos. This numerical series (3+1=4,
4+1=5, 5+1=6 and 6+5+4=15, or 14 inner fields + 1 outer field) is represented by
the three iterations of the initial involution's of the primal spherical field
radiating out the initial Cosmic zero [laya] point spinergy. See:
http://users.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html
>From the above, it's easy to see how the law of cycles governs all geometric
involutonal and evolutionary processes
After this last awakening, evolution of forms begin -- as spirtual ideations
of all Cosmic forms carried by holographic interference patterns of vibration
by the surrounding field of Maha-Atma" (or the "Cosmic intelligence") fall
into physical "Matter" at the lowest energy level.
Since each spherical field of consciousness is centered on a zero-point of
self awareness, the separate fields of consciousness at the spiritual levelof
the third logos, represents the seven higher Dhyan Chohans, whom -- along with
their materialized bodies, or alter egos on the lower seven levels -- guide
the initial evolution that forms the universe of galaxies, stars and planets,
etc., we see and measure... (All of this, incidentally, actually appearing on
the surfaces of their lowest, materialized fields or bodies.) From there,
science can take over from metaphysics to determine the "physical" properties and
further evolution on the physical plane. (But, always to be faced with
paradoxes and anomalies until they understand the underlying metaphysical, seven fold
field nature of everything -- including themselves :-) See:
