STANZA 5, BOOK OF DZYAN: FOHAT, WORLD FORMATION

STANZA 5, BOOK OF DZYAN: FOHAT, WORLD FORMATION

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

“The primordial seven” says the Stanza 5 of the Book of Dzyan, consistently echoing the Septenary Law. Stanza 5, in its translated version, is shown below, as culled from Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the Secret Doctrine.

STANZA V.

I. THE PRIMORDIAL SEVEN, THE FIRST SEVEN BREATHS OF THE DRAGON OF WISDOM, PRODUCE IN THEIR TURN FROM THEIR HOLY CIRCUMGYRATING BREATHS THE FIERY WHIRLWIND.

2. THEY MAKE OF HIM THE MESSENGER OF THEIR WILL. THE DZYU BECOMES FOHAT, THE SWIFT SON OF THE DIVINE SONS WHOSE SONS ARE THE LIPIKA, RUNS CIRCULAR ERRANDS. FOHAT IS THE STEED AND THE THOUGHT IS THE RIDER. HE PASSES LIKE LIGHTNING THROUGH THE FIERY CLOUDS; TAKES THREE, AND FIVE, AND SEVEN STRIDES THROUGH THE SEVEN REGIONS ABOVE, AND THE SEVEN BELOW. HE LIFTS HIS VOICE, AND CALLS THE INNUMERABLE SPARKS, AND JOINS THEM.

3. HE IS THEIR GUIDING SPIRIT AND LEADER. WHEN HE COMMENCES WORK, HE SEPARATES THE SPARKS OF THE LOWER KINGDOM THAT FLOAT AND THRILL WITH JOY IN THEIR RADIANT DWELLINGS, AND FORMS THEREWITH THE GERMS OF WHEELS. HE PLACES THEM IN THE SIX DIRECTIONS OF SPACE, AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE—THE CENTRAL WHEEL.

4. FOHAT TRACES SPIRAL LINES TO UNITE THE SIXTH TO THE SEVENTH—THE CROWN; AN ARMY OF THE SONS OF LIGHT STANDS AT EACH ANGLE, AND THE LIPIKA IN THE MIDDLE WHEEL. THEY SAY: THIS IS GOOD, THE FIRST DIVINE WORLD IS READY, THE FIRST IS NOW THE SECOND. THEN THE “DIVINE ARUPA” REFLECTS ITSELF IN CHHAYA LOKA, THE FIRST GARMENT OF THE ANUPADAKA.

5. FOHAT TAKES FIVE STRIDES AND BUILDS A WINGED WHEEL AT EACH CORNER OF THE SQUARE, FOR THE FOUR HOLY ONES AND THEIR ARMIES.

6. THE LIPIKA CIRCUMSCRIBE THE TRIANGLE, THE FIRST ONE, THE CUBE, THE SECOND ONE, AND THE PENTACLE WITHIN THE EGG. IT IS THE RING CALLED “PASS NOT” FOR THOSE WHO DESCEND AND ASCEND. ALSO FOR THOSE WHO DURING THE KALPA ARE PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE GREAT DAY “BE WITH US.” THUS WERE FORMED THE RUPA AND THE ARUPA: FROM ONE LIGHT SEVEN LIGHTS; FROM EACH OF THE SEVEN, SEVEN TIMES SEVEN LIGHTS. THE WHEELS WATCH THE RING. . . . .

Divine Hierarchs that come under names you may not even have heard before are already mentioned here. The Dzyu, most essential hierarch, becomes Fohat, as stressed in the stanza. It is from Fohat that the divine Sons known as the Recording Angels—the Lipikas—were emanated from or “created”.

So recondite is the Stanza, like the rest of the Stanzas, that by itself stands out as an inspirational guide to any willful chela or mystic to develop treatises. Which is precisely what the chohans, mahatmas, and their chelas did, with HP Blavatsky standing out among the chelas who took the Book of Dzyan as guidepost for articulating treatises.

HPB has this synopsis to share about the said Stanza, as contained in Volume I of the opus Secret Doctrine:

In Stanza V. the process of world-formation is described:—First, diffused Cosmic Matter, then the fiery “whirlwind,” the first stage in the formation of a nebula. That nebula condenses, and after passing through various transformations, forms a Solar Universe, a planetary chain, or a single planet, as the case may be.

STANZA 4, BOOK OF DZYAN: SEPTENARY HIERARCHY OF CONSCIOUS DIVINE POWERS

STANZA 4, BOOK OF DZYAN: SEPTENARY HIERARCHY OF CONSCIOUS DIVINE POWERS

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Let us proceed to the Stanza 4 of the Book of Dzyan. “Learn what we who descend from the primordial seven, we who are born from the primordial flame, have learnt from our Fathers,” declares the Perfected Ones in Line 2 of the Stanza.

Below is the English translation of the Stanza 4 of the said book, as contained in Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the divine opus Secret Doctrine.

STANZA IV.

1. . . . LISTEN, YE SONS OF THE EARTH, TO YOUR INSTRUCTORS—THE SONS OF THE FIRE. LEARN, THERE IS NEITHER FIRST NOR LAST, FOR ALL IS ONE: NUMBER ISSUED FROM NO NUMBER.

2. LEARN WHAT WE WHO DESCEND FROM THE PRIMORDIAL SEVEN, WE WHO ARE BORN FROM THE PRIMORDIAL FLAME, HAVE LEARNT FROM OUR FATHERS. . . .

3. FROM THE EFFULGENCY OF LIGHT—THE RAY OF THE EVER-DARKNESS—SPRUNG IN SPACE THE RE-AWAKENED ENERGIES; THE ONE FROM THE EGG, THE SIX, AND THE FIVE. THEN THE THREE, THE ONE, THE FOUR, THE ONE, THE FIVE—THE TWICE SEVEN THE SUM TOTAL. AND THESE ARE THE ESSENCES, THE FLAMES, THE ELEMENTS, THE BUILDERS, THE NUMBERS, THE ARUPA, THE RUPA, AND THE FORCE OF DIVINE MAN—THE SUM TOTAL. AND FROM THE DIVINE MAN EMANATED THE FORMS, THE SPARKS, THE SACRED ANIMALS, AND THE MESSENGERS OF THE SACRED FATHERS WITHIN THE HOLY FOUR.

4. THIS WAS THE ARMY OF THE VOICE—THE DIVINE MOTHER OF THE SEVEN. THE SPARKS OF THE SEVEN ARE SUBJECT TO, AND THE SERVANTS OF, THE FIRST, THE SECOND, THE THIRD, THE FOURTH, THE FIFTH, THE SIXTH, AND THE SEVENTH OF THE SEVEN. THESE “SPARKS” ARE CALLED SPHERES, TRIANGLES, CUBES, LINES, AND MODELLERS; FOR THUS STANDS THE ETERNAL NIDANA—THE OEAOHOO, WHICH IS:

5. “DARKNESS” THE BOUNDLESS, OR THE NO-NUMBER, ADI-NIDANA SVÂBHÂVAT:—

I. THE ADI-SANAT, THE NUMBER, FOR HE IS ONE.

II. THE VOICE OF THE LORD SVÂBHÂVAT, THE NUMBERS, FOR HE IS ONE AND NINE.

III. THE “FORMLESS SQUARE.”

AND THESE THREE ENCLOSED WITHIN THE ARE THE SACRED FOUR; AND THE TEN ARE THE ARUPA UNIVERSE. THEN COME THE “SONS,” THE SEVEN FIGHTERS, THE ONE, THE EIGHTH LEFT OUT, AND HIS BREATH WHICH IS THE LIGHT-MAKER.

6. THEN THE SECOND SEVEN, WHO ARE THE LIPIKA, PRODUCED BY THE THREE. THE REJECTED SON IS ONE. THE “SON-SUNS” ARE COUNTLESS.

Oneness is again re-echoed in the Stanza 4, Oneness that equally stresses the beginnings of sentient life as monad. Just like the previous stanzas, Stanza 4 can inspire a chela or mystic to write a voluminous treatise on the subject. Which is what the Secret Doctrine is all about, the divine opus that took on the Book of Dzyan as its guiding premises.

The Stanza is packed with numbers, as it is one vehicle for reminding us about the science of numbers as understood from the purview of Theos Sophia or divine wisdom. Such a science isn’t the popular numerology that is bandied by moneybag fortune tellers, but a science the proceeds from the original meanings and significations of numbers as they emanated from the Godhead.

Stanza 4 also revealed very succinctly the Divine Man, from which emanated the cosmic characteristics of Man prior to descent into the lower dimensions or planes. Below is the synopsis of the Stanza 4 from HPB, in Volume I of the same opus:

Stanza IV. shows the differentiation of the “Germ” of the Universe into the septenary hierarchy of conscious Divine Powers, who are the active manifestations of the One Supreme Energy. They are the framers, shapers, and ultimately the creators of all the manifested Universe, in the only sense in which the name “Creator” is intelligible; they inform and guide it; they are the intelligent Beings who adjust and control evolution, embodying in themselves those manifestations of the ONE LAW, which we know as “The Laws of Nature.”

Generically, they are known as the Dhyan Chohans, though each of the various groups has its own designation in the Secret Doctrine.

This stage of evolution is spoken of in Hindu mythology as the “Creation” of the Gods.

STANZA 3, BOOK OF DZYAN: KOSMOS REAWAKENS AFTER PRALAYA

STANZA 3, BOOK OF DZYAN: KOSMOS REAWAKENS AFTER PRALAYA

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

We move on to Stanza 3 of the Book of Dzyan. The stanza summarizes to us the context arising as the ‘night’ ends, as the last of 7 eternities ends, and a new ‘day’ begins.

Below is Stanza 3 of the said book, as contained in the translated version in the opening chapters of Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the Secret Doctrine.

STANZA III.

1. . . .THE LAST VIBRATION OF THE SEVENTH ETERNITY THRILLS THROUGH INFINITUDE. THE MOTHER SWELLS, EXPANDING FROM WITHIN WITHOUT, LIKE THE BUD OF THE LOTUS.

2. THE VIBRATION SWEEPS ALONG, TOUCHING WITH ITS SWIFT WING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE AND THE GERM THAT DWELLETH IN DARKNESS: THE DARKNESS THAT BREATHES OVER THE SLUMBERING WATERS OF LIFE . . .

3 . DARKNESS RADIATES LIGHT, AND LIGHT DROPS ONE SOLITARY RAY INTO THE MOTHER-DEEP. THE RAY SHOOTS THROUGH THE VIRGIN EGG THE RAY CAUSES THE ETERNAL EGG TO THRILL, AND DROP THE NON-ETERNAL GERM, WHICH CONDENSES INTO THE WORLD-EGG.

4. THEN THE THREE FALL INTO THE FOUR. THE RADIANT ESSENCE BECOMES SEVEN INSIDE, SEVEN OUTSIDE. THE LUMINOUS EGG, WHICH IN ITSELF IS THREE, CURDLES AND SPREADS IN MILK-WHITE CURDS THROUGHOUT THE DEPTHS OF MOTHER, THE ROOT THAT GROWS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN OF LIFE.

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

6. THE ROOT OF LIFE WAS IN EVERY DROP OF THE OCEAN OF IMMORTALITY, 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, OR FATHER AND MOTHER.

7. BEHOLD, OH LANOO! THE RADIANT CHILD OF THE TWO, THE UNPARALLELED REFULGENT GLORY: BRIGHT SPACE SON OF DARK SPACE, WHICH EMERGES FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE GREAT DARK WATERS. IT IS OEAOHOO THE YOUNGER, THE * * * HE SHINES FORTH AS THE SON; HE IS THE BLAZING DIVINE DRAGON OF WISDOM; THE ONE IS FOUR, AND FOUR TAKES TO ITSELF THREE,† AND THE UNION PRODUCES THE SAPTA, IN WHOM ARE THE SEVEN WHICH BECOME THE TRIDASA (OR THE HOSTS AND THE MULTITUDES). BEHOLD HIM LIFTING THE VEIL AND UNFURLING IT FROM EAST TO WEST. HE SHUTS OUT THE ABOVE, AND LEAVES THE BELOW TO BE SEEN AS THE GREAT ILLUSION. HE MARKS THE PLACES FOR THE SHINING ONES, AND TURNS THE UPPER INTO A SHORELESS SEA OF FIRE, AND THE ONE MANIFESTED INTO THE GREAT WATERS.

8. WHERE WAS THE GERM AND WHERE WAS NOW DARKNESS? WHERE IS THE SPIRIT OF THE FLAME THAT BURNS IN THY LAMP, OH LANOO? THE GERM IS THAT, AND THAT IS LIGHT, THE WHITE BRILLIANT SON OF THE DARK HIDDEN FATHER.

9. LIGHT IS COLD FLAME, AND FLAME IS FIRE, AND FIRE PRODUCES HEAT, WHICH YIELDS WATER: THE WATER OF LIFE IN THE GREAT MOTHER.

10. FATHER-MOTHER SPIN A WEB HOUSE UPPER END IS FASTENED TO SPIRIT—THE LIGHT OF THE ONE DARKNESS—AND THE LOWER ONE TO ITS SHADOWY END, MATTER; AND THIS WEB IS THE UNIVERSE SPUN OUT OF THE TWO SUBSTANCES MADE IN ONE, WHICH IS SVÂBHÂVAT.

The proverbial ‘cosmic egg’ is revealed as mystical knowledge in this stanza. The appearance of Light from the womb of ‘mystical darkness’, likewise revealed. Light cannot be understood without darkness, as shown in the stanza. Note though that this darkness has nothing to do with the evil or ‘energy veil’ of ‘dark forces’ or ‘chohans of darkness’.

The One then generates the ‘three’ which signifies the emanations of the three dimensions of Spirit—7^th, 6^th, and 5^th planes. Then the three descend into ‘the four’—referent for the four lowest planes—4^th, 3^rd, 2^nd, and 1^st planes or dimensions. The 3 and the 4 would then comprise the completed 7, showing the governance of the Septenary Law.

This stanza alone can inspire any Adept to write a volume or two of treatises. HPB has the following statement concerning the Stanza 3, in the opening pages of Volume I of the Secret Doctrine:

Stanza III. describes the Re-awakening of the Universe to life after Pralaya. It depicts the emergence of the “Monads” from their state of absorption within the ONE; the earliest and highest stage in the formation of “Worlds,” the term Monad being one which may apply equally to the vastest Solar System or the tiniest atom.

STANZA 2, BOOK OF DZYAN: DEIFIC BUILDERS IN GERMINATION

STANZA 2, BOOK OF DZYAN: DEIFIC BUILDERS IN GERMINATION

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

“There was neither silence nor sound,” it is declared in Line 4 of Stanza 2, Book of Dzyan. Stanza 2 continues with subtle attributions of the state-of-things in the rest phase of the great cycle prior to the forthcoming out-breath in another ‘day of Brahma’. Such a state of One is incomprehensible to those raised in the binary mindset, so it takes a painstaking paradigm change and high wisdom to comprehend divine wisdom as taught by the rishis and sages of the East.

Below is Stanza II, as contained in the opening chapters of Volume I of the the Secret Doctrine.

STANZA II.

1 . . . . WHERE WERE THE BUILDERS, THE LUMINOUS SONS OF MANVANTARIC DAWN? . . . IN THE UNKNOWN DARKNESS IN THEIR AH-HI PARANISHPANNA. THE PRODUCERS OF FORM FROM NO-FORM—THE ROOT OF THE WORLD—THE DEVAMATRI AND SVÂBHÂVAT, RESTED IN THE BLISS OF NON-BEING.

2. . . . WHERE WAS SILENCE? WHERE THE EARS TO SENSE IT? NO, THERE WAS NEITHER SILENCE NOR SOUND; NAUGHT SAVE CEASELESS ETERNAL BREATH, WHICH KNOWS ITSELF NOT.

3. THE HOUR HAD NOT YET STRUCK; THE RAY HAD NOT YET FLASHED INTO THE GERM; THE MATRIPADMA HAD NOT YET SWOLLEN.

4. HER HEART HAD NOT YET OPENED FOR THE ONE RAY TO ENTER, THENCE TO FALL, AS THREE INTO FOUR, INTO THE LAP OF MAYA.

5. THE SEVEN SONS WERE NOT YET BORN FROM THE WEB OF LIGHT. DARKNESS ALONE WAS FATHER-MOTHER, SVÂBHÂVAT; AND SVÂBHÂVAT WAS IN DARKNESS.

6. THESE TWO ARE THE GERM, AND THE GERM IS ONE. THE UNIVERSE WAS STILL CONCEALED IN THE DIVINE THOUGHT AND THE DIVINE BOSOM . . . .

“Where were the builders,” is a guide question that signifies the chief hierarchs altogether, the “luminous sons of the manvantaric dawn.” The possibility of producing form from no-form is declared in the Stanza. Adepts are taught that the architects of form are the devic beings, while the builders of form the elemental beings.

At the higher realms in the generation of forms, we are aware of the deity Brahma as assisted by the hierarchs called the Elohim. The latter is subtly revealed as “the seven sons” in Line 5. The “seven sons” is also an esoteric referent for the 7 Mighty Archangels or Dhyani-Buddha who are regarded as deity in level of evolution by many mystical circles.

Let us reflect on the note of HPB concerning Stanza 2, in the pages preceding the Stanzas in Volume I of the same opus:

The stage described in Stanza II. is, to a western mind, so nearly identical with that mentioned in the first Stanza, that to express the idea of its difference would require a treatise in itself. Hence it must be left to the intuition and the higher faculties of the reader to grasp, as far as he can, the meaning of the allegorical phrases used. Indeed it must be remembered that all these Stanzas appeal to the inner faculties rather than to the ordinary comprehension of the physical brain.

STANZA 1, BOOK OF DZYAN: THE ONE, PRALAYA PHASE

STANZA 1, BOOK OF DZYAN: THE ONE, PRALAYA PHASE

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

In the opening chapters of Volume I of the Secret Doctrine, we find, as earlier adduced to, the Book of Dzyan – its translation in English. Stanza 1 is shown below.

STANZA I.

1. THE ETERNAL PARENT WRAPPED IN HER EVER INVISIBLE ROBES HAD SLUMBERED ONCE AGAIN FOR SEVEN ETERNITIES.

2. TIME WAS NOT, FOR IT LAY ASLEEP IN THE INFINITE BOSOM OF DURATION.

5. UNIVERSAL MIND WAS NOT, FOR THERE WERE NO AH-HI TO CONTAIN IT.

4. THE SEVEN WAYS TO BLISS WERE NOT. THE GREAT CAUSES OF MISERY WERE NOT, FOR THERE WAS NO ONE TO PRODUCE AND GET ENSNARED BY THEM.

5. DARKNESS ALONE FILLED THE BOUNDLESS ALL, FOR FATHER, MOTHER AND SON WERE ONCE MORE ONE, AND THE SON HAD NOT AWAKENED YET FOR THE NEW WHEEL, AND HIS PILGRIMAGE THEREON.

6. THE SEVEN SUBLIME LORDS AND THE SEVEN TRUTHS HAD CEASED TO BE, AND THE UNIVERSE, THE SON OF NECESSITY, WAS IMMERSED IN PARANISHPANNA, TO BE OUTBREATHED BY THAT WHICH IS AND YET IS NOT. NAUGHT WAS.

7. THE CAUSES OF EXISTENCE HAD BEEN DONE AWAY WITH; THE VISIBLE THAT WAS, AND THE INVISIBLE THAT IS, RESTED IN ETERNAL NON-BEING—THE ONE BEING.

8. ALONE THE ONE FORM OF EXISTENCE STRETCHED BOUNDLESS, INFINITE, CAUSELESS, IN DREAMLESS SLEEP; AND LIFE PULSATED UNCONSCIOUS IN UNIVERSAL SPACE, THROUGHOUT THAT ALL-PRESENCE WHICH IS SENSED BY THE OPENED EYE OF THE DANGMA.

9. BUT WHERE WAS THE DANGMA WHEN THE ALAYA OF THE UNIVERSE WAS IN PARAMARTHA AND THE GREAT WHEEL WAS ANUPADAKA?

Stanza 1 reveals to us right away the state-of-things at the end of the great cycle of Maha-Kalpa, at the end of the last manvantara (day of Brahma) and the period of the ‘deep sleep’ during the pralaya. There is only Oneness, though the One All doesn’t sleep, as the One cannot be perceived as resting and neither in action. Such a deep wisdom is simply beyond our comprehension, so digest the cogitation as much as you can.

In the pages preceding the Stanzas’ translated version, in Volume I of the same magnum opus, HP Blavatsky or HPB has this to say in the organization scheme for Stanza 1:

Stanza I. The history of cosmic evolution, as traced in the Stanzas, is, so to say, the abstract algebraical formula of that Evolution. Hence the student must not expect to find there an account of all the stages and transformations which intervene between the first beginnings of “Universal” evolution and our present state. To give such an account would be as impossible as it would be incomprehensible to men who cannot even grasp the nature of the plane of existence next to that to which, for the moment, their consciousness is limited.

Furthermore, HPB the noble chela of the Mahatmas & Chohans stated:

The First Stanza describes the state of the ONE ALL during Pralaya before the first flutter of re-awakening manifestation.

A moment’s thought shows that such a state can only be symbolised; to describe it is impossible. Nor can it be symbolised except in negatives; for, since it is the state of Absoluteness per se, it can possess none of those specific attributes which serve us to describe objects in positive terms. Hence that state can only be suggested by the negatives of all those most abstract attributes which men feel rather than conceive, as the remotest limits attainable by their power of conception.

POETIC VERBIAGE OF THE ANCIENT WISDOM

POETIC VERBIAGE OF THE ANCIENT WISDOM

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

For a note of clarification about the earlier communicative form for expressing discourse, let it be stressed, a fact which many enthusiasts of letters have known, that poetry was the very popular form. Poetry was thus long perfected, and made as vehicle for embedding recondite knowledge.

Knowledge of spiritual truths was truly ancient, though when the Terrans fell to the lowest density of existence, even prior to and in preparation for the advent of Kali Yuga or Dark Age, it was decided that such wisdom was to be kept secret to the many, made available thus only to the few elect Initiates.

In the Book of Dzyan, for instance, comes an opening statement, writ in recondite yet beautiful verse, as shown below, in its English translation published in Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the Secret Doctrine:

“Nor Aught nor Nought existed; yon bright sky

Was not, nor heaven’s broad roof outstretched above.

What covered all? What sheltered? what concealed?

Was it the water’s fathomless abyss?

There was not death—yet there was nought immortal,

There was no confine betwixt day and night;

The only One breathed breathless by itself,

Other than It there nothing since has been.

Darkness there was, and all at first was veiled

In gloom profound—an ocean without light—

The germ that still lay covered in the husk

Burst forth, one nature, from the fervent heat.

. . . . . . . . . .

Who knows the secret? who proclaimed it here?

Whence, whence this manifold creation sprang?

The Gods themselves came later into being—

Who knows from whence this great creation sprang?

That, whence all this great creation came,

Whether Its will created or was mute,

The Most High Seer that is in highest heaven,

He knows it—or perchance even He knows not.”

“Gazing into eternity . . .

Ere the foundations of the earth were laid,

. . . . .

Thou wert. And when the subterranean flame

Shall burst its prison and devour the frame

Thou shalt be still as Thou wert before

And knew no change, when time shall be no more.

Oh! endless thought, divine ETERNITY.”

One can see from the verse, for instance, that the deep void preceded even the deities that we know today. Such a truth is not easily acceptable by religious circles and persons, as their exoteric foundation has disabled them from penetrating the veils that blur higher truth and barred access to wisdom.

Yet such a cogitation came forth from the higher mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), and atma (oversoul) of the masters of the wisdom, the ascended beings who comprise the Great White Brotherhood. Those wise men and women of ages long forgotten and buried in the sands of history left the legacy of divine wisdom or Theos Sophia in secret documents, passed them on to their chelas, and re-embodied again and again to bring the wisdom to humanity and the practical aspects of divine precepts to build new worlds and civilizations.

Such wise men and women are also the profoundest of poets, have led artistic revolutions even when conditions didn’t allow them (e.g. Inquisition, Medieval Europe, tyrannies in Asia & Meso-America). Master El Morya was the Irish Renaissance poet laureate Thomas Moore prior to his embodiment as El Morya Khan, just to site an instance. Master Kuthumi was once the most ennobled monk Francis Assissi, who was also poet and philosopher, long before he embodied as Kooth Hoomi Lal Singh, Tibetan Brother of Light (he was also Shah Jehan, great emperor & builder of Taj Mahal).

7 COSMIC ELEMENTS, 2 YET UN-REVEALED

7 COSMIC ELEMENTS, 2 YET UN-REVEALED

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

It was already elaborate in previous articles that there are five (5) cosmic elements known to Terrans. However, that isn’t the totality of elements, as consistent with the Septenary Law, there are seven (7) such elements in all.

The chelas and masters were allowed to reveal just five (5), as the time isn’t ripe yet for a full comprehension of the philosophic and practical understanding of the 6^th and 7^th elements. The evolution of the 6^th and 7^th ‘root races’—of Terrans what will replace the current 5^th ‘root race’ of Aryans—will see the galvanization of faculties yet that remain weak or sleeping among current Terrans.

In common parlance, we know the elements as: earth, water, air, fire, and ether. Ether is the gross manifestation of akasha, the two often being presented as identical. Each element can still be subdivided into sub-elements, just as chemists have sub-divided the chemical elements into over a hundred known ones verifiable through laboratory experimentation.

Below is the excerpt from Volume I/Cosmogenesis of the Secret Doctrine, concerning the subject of 7 elements:

For clearer understanding on the part of the general reader, it must be stated that Occult Science recognises Seven Cosmical Elements—four entirely physical, and the fifth (Ether) semi-material, as it will become visible in the air towards the end of our Fourth Round, to reign supreme over the others during the whole of the Fifth. The remaining two are as yet absolutely beyond the range of human perception. These latter will, however, appear as presentments during the 6th and 7th Races of this Round, and will become known in the 6th and 7th Rounds respectively.* These seven elements with their numberless Sub-Elements far more numerous than those known to Science) are simply conditional modifications and aspects of the ONE and only Element. This latter is not Ether,* not even A’kâsá but the Source of these. The Fifth Element, now advocated quite freely by Science, is not the Ether hypothesised by Sir Isaac Newton—although he calls it by that name, having associated it in his mind probably with the Æther, “Father-Mother” of Antiquity. As Newton intuitionally says, “Nature is a perpetual circulatory worker, generating fluids out of solids, fixed things out of volatile, and volatile out of fixed, subtile out of gross, and gross out of subtile. . . . Thus, perhaps, may all things be originated from Ether,” (Hypoth, 1675).

The reader has to bear in mind that the Stanzas given treat only of the Cosmogony of our own planetary System and what is visible around it, after a Solar Pralaya. The secret teachings with regard to the Evolution of the Universal Kosmos cannot be given, since they could not be understood by the highest minds in this age, and there seem to be very few Initiates, even among the greatest, who are allowed to speculate upon this subject. Moreover the Teachers say openly that not even the highest Dhyani-Chohans have ever penetrated the mysteries beyond those boundaries that separate the milliards of Solar systems from the “Central Sun,” as it is called. Therefore, that which is given, relates only to our visible Kosmos, after a “Night of Brahmâ.”

Before the reader proceeds to the consideration of the Stanzas from the Book of Dzyan which form the basis of the present work, it is absolutely necessary that he should be made acquainted with the few fundamental conceptions which underlie and pervade the entire system of thought to which his attention is invited. These basic ideas are few in number, and on their clear apprehension depends the understanding of all that follows; therefore no apology is required for asking the reader to make himself familiar with them first, before entering on the perusal of the work itself.
