The Seed

“It should be noted that there are seven forms of light, related to the substance of the seven plane.  These are stimulated and enhanced by the twelve forms of light of the twelve Creative Hierarchies, related each of them to one or other of the twelve signs of the zodiac.  On this I may not enlarge as it concerns the mysteries of the higher initiations.  I simply make the statement so that it may be appreciated by you as an occult fact to the proof of which you may not yet have access.  A paralleling statement would be that the light of the seven centers in man (when enhanced by the light of the seven planetary centers) and the five kingdoms in nature (7+5=12), plus the twelve lights of the zodiac will produce a consummation of “light” effectiveness which will make possible the expression of the whole.  This, through the medium of humanity.  This is a basic statement which means little to you as yet but which will—in the next century—form a seed thought or “key sound” for the next revelation of the Ageless Wisdom.”

This is in the section on the Three Crosses, as Phil reminded us, which are, as D.K. mentions at the beginning of the chapter, “concerned with the wholes or with the syntheses of manifestation and with the unified experience of an incarnating entity, . . . ”

I can do little justice to the statement in detail, owing to the press of time, but simply submit a few thoughts pertaining to light refraction, complementaries and harmonics.

Under the basic dualism of manifestation there is ever the exoteric and the esoteric aspects and it is the interplay of these which produces all the pairs of opposites.  Given (as far at the twelve signs of the zodiac are concerned) the initial three or trinity of manifestation, we have sequentially, the six of expression.  These six, within their own nature and in time and space, provide the appearance of Deity; they are the six major aspects, principles and signatures and thus produce normally (or are produced by, more correctly) their six esoteric counterparts, thus making the various twelves of manifestation:  the twelve signs of the zodiac, or the twelve Creative Hierarchies.  For instance, a sign is exoteric in its nature and effects upon the ordinary clockwise wheel and esoteric in its effects and relationships upon the wheel of the disciple.

The real opposites and the true complementaries are, in the last analysis, that aspect of manifestation which is exoteric and that which is esoteric.  For instance, in relation to the seven planes one could divide them into a higher esoteric three and lower exoteric three and the lens of refraction is through the medium of the fourth plane, resolving a septenary division of 3+4 into the basic three.  Conversely, the triple blended light focussed through the medium of the fourth upon the fifth, simultaneously breaks into the seven (repeating the three and adding four “hues”, which are refractions or mirrors of the three).  In the human unit the blended lights of the higher three are refracted upon the plane of higher manas and there break simultaneously into the seven lights or groups of Egos, though the resolution will again return to a basic three.

If the lights of the seven planes are considered in this manner of esoteric and exoteric complementaries, then their stimulation and enhancement by the lights of the Creative Hierarchies, as they in turn are related to the twelve lights of the Zodiac, can be refracted through the common denominator of three—when the opposites are resolved or when there is an accurate balancing of forces.

I realise that this is putting it all simplistically, but it is perhaps only when the truer nature of the occult science is better understood that this subsidiary science of the balancing of forces will come into its rightful place in the great field of knowledge.  The occult astrology and future system of metaphysical-mathematics (about which I am not equipped to deal) upon which the entire structure of the science of forces is built will reveal that certain major constellations are “opposites” because their type of energy evokes the activity of attraction and repulsion between the two, thus producing a state of constant relationship and a process of evolutionary balancing.

It is this process of evolutionary balancing that perhaps also refers to the paralleling statement of D.K.’s.  The “light of the seven centers in man . . . enhanced by the light of the seven planetary centers” (would seem to imply that these greater lights of the planetary centers are refracted through the human centers), and the “five kingdoms in nature” would find perfect expression through man—when perfected—and these in turn could be considered as the “exoteric” complement or refracted expression of the twelve Lights of the Zodiac producing that “consummation of ‘light’ effectiveness which will make possible the expression of the whole.”

“Light is a symptom and an expression of Life.”  It is this “life more abundantly” that passes through the medium of the light when there is a free circulation of energies and forces from the highest to the lowest.  The thought of light refraction brings the subject closer to comprehending a substantial relationship that can be guaranteed “by virtue of the fact . . . ”  The factors under consideration are therefore not separate existences from each other, but are harmonics of one another.  One exists by virtue of the other because they are intrinsic to each other.  Perhaps metaphysical mathematics will help substantiate the numerical keys or harmonics.

This seed is indeed a “musical thought.”  I could draw a similar parallel through musical relationships and harmonics but charts would have to be drawn up showing the intervallic relationships.  These charts would show circular relationships of intervals (as harmonics) and the primary relationships would be in intervals of 5ths and 4ths.  The relationships between the various aspects mentioned in this “seed” can also therefore be examined via their “tonal” relationships as harmonics of one another.  Therefore, their substantial relationships are intrinsic to nature itself as “harmonics of a primordial fundamental.”  That fundamental is Light substantially and Sound primarily—“symptoms of Life.”

Another trite illustration that is purely symbolic is that the piano keyboard of an octave has seven “white” keys and five “black” keys.  The seven are the basic sol-feg.  The “blacks” are the accidentals, sharps or flats.  If one plays a phrase of notes one by one, then we have the gradual revelation of an energy-idea.  If one plays the entire twelve notes simultaneously, then we hear a simultaneous “impact” of sound—a cluster of tones as a simultaneous and immediate revelation of energy.  It is this thought of simultaneity (of existence) and superimposition of lives within lives that leads eventually to the comprehension and realised awareness of synthesis and, as Vicktorya brought to our attention, the eventual annihilation of time.

Time has run out for me, my friends, and I must therefore hasten.

The Chart in the accompanying document helps to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned in the above few notes.  It is a derivative chart that I made up several years ago from another that is well familiar to you all.  I have simply added to it.  Although it does not deal in totality with this “seed” it does in part, and thus I hope it “complements” some of the other marvellous contributions submitted by all of you.

Peace,
