STANZA 7, BOOK OF DZYAN: COSMIC HISTORY TILL MAN APPEARS

STANZA 7, BOOK OF DZYAN: COSMIC HISTORY TILL MAN APPEARS

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Finally, let us take a glimpse at the Stanza 7 of the Book of Dzyan, and absorb the wisdom that flows from it. Below is Stanza 7 of the said, as contained in Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the divine opus Secret Doctrine.

STANZA VII.

1. BEHOLD THE BEGINNING OF SENTIENT FORMLESS LIFE.

FIRST THE DIVINE, THE ONE FROM THE MOTHER-SPIRIT; THEN THE SPIRITUAL; THE THREE FROM THE ONE, THE FOUR FROM THE ONE, AND THE FIVE FROM WHICH THE THREE, THE FIVE, AND THE SEVEN. THESE ARE THE THREE-FOLD, THE FOUR-FOLD DOWNWARD; THE “MIND-BORN” SONS OF THE FIRST LORD; THE SHINING SEVEN.

IT IS THEY WHO ARE THOU, ME, HIM, OH LANOO. THEY, WHO WATCH OVER THEE, AND THY MOTHER EARTH.

2. THE ONE RAY MULTIPLIES THE SMALLER RAYS. LIFE PRECEDES FORM, AND LIFE SURVIVES THE LAST ATOM OF FORM. THROUGH THE COUNTLESS RAYS PROCEEDS THE LIFE-RAY, THE ONE, LIKE A THREAD THROUGH MANY JEWELS.

3. WHEN THE ONE BECOMES TWO, THE THREEFOLD APPEARS, AND THE THREE ARE ONE; AND IT IS OUR THREAD, OH LANOO, THE HEART OF THE MAN-PLANT CALLED SAPTASARMA.

4. IT IS THE ROOT THAT NEVER DIES; THE THREE-TONGUED FLAME OF THE FOUR WICKS. THE WICKS ARE THE SPARKS, THAT DRAW FROM THE THREE-TONGUED FLAME SHOT OUT BY THE SEVEN—THEIR FLAME—THE BEAMS AND SPARKS OF ONE MOON REFLECTED IN THE RUNNING WAVES OF ALL THE RIVERS OF EARTH.

5. THE SPARK HANGS FROM THE FLAME BY THE FINEST THREAD OF FOHAT. IT JOURNEYS THROUGH THE SEVEN WORLDS OF MAYA. IT STOPS IN THE FIRST, AND IS A METAL AND A STONE; IT PASSES INTO THE SECOND AND BEHOLD—A PLANT; THE PLANT WHIRLS THROUGH SEVEN CHANGES AND BECOMES A SACRED ANIMAL. FROM THE COMBINED ATTRIBUTES OF THESE, MANU, THE THINKER IS FORMED. WHO FORMS HIM? THE SEVEN LIVES, AND THE ONE LIFE. WHO COMPLETES HIM? THE FIVE-FOLD LHA. AND WHO PERFECTS THE LAST BODY? FISH, SIN, AND SOMA.

6. FROM THE FIRST-BORN THE THREAD BETWEEN THE SILENT WATCHER AND HIS SHADOW BECOMES MORE STRONG AND RADIANT WITH EVERY CHANGE. THE MORNING SUN-LIGHT HAS CHANGED INTO NOON-DAY GLORY.

7. THIS IS THY PRESENT WHEEL, SAID THE FLAME TO THE SPARK. THOU ART MYSELF, MY IMAGE, AND MY SHADOW. I HAVE CLOTHED MYSELF IN THEE, AND THOU ART MY VAHAN TO THE DAY, “BE WITH US,” WHEN THOU SHALT RE-BECOME MYSELF AND OTHERS, THYSELF AND ME. THEN THE BUILDERS, HAVING DONNED THEIR FIRST CLOTHING, DESCEND ON RADIANT EARTH AND REIGN OVER MEN—WHO ARE THEMSELVES.

The Stanza provides all the chelas the link between them and the divine spheres, which surely comes as a long shot for any seeking chela. The evolutionary chain, which the exoteric devotees know as “creation”, is truly a very stupendous and recondite process, yet made comprehensible in the explications of the Perfected Ones who bestowed us the divine wisdom or Theos Sophia from antiquity to present.

It is all too wonderful a meditation to reckon with the formation of sentient formless life up till the process of the formed life (rupa). Such a process cannot take place without the Mother-Spirit, as the Stanza clarifies. Disgorging and concealing the Mother in the entire process of cosmic evolution is the handiwork of the Fallen Ones who popularized and galvanized the binary mindset such as what has befallen the Western peoples.

The Mother is in from the very inception, and the Father-Mother is One, undivided, all-loving, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. This recondite truth comes as a consolation to Terrans who are now direly challenged to let the Feminine Principle bloom the fullest and celebrate the Divine Mother in all facets of living.

HPB had this to say as synopsis for the Stanza 7, as contained in Volume I of the magnum opus Secret Doctrine:

Stanza VII. continues the history, tracing the descent of life down to the appearance of Man; and thus closes the first Book of the Secret Doctrine.
