The Evolution Of Symbolism on Superphysics

The Evolution Of Symbolism

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The study of the hidden meaning in every religious and profane legend, preëminently in the Eastern traditions, has occupied most of my life.

I disagree with symbologists who:

find only superstition in every ancient myth
believe that all mythologies sprang from solar myths.

Such superficial thinkers have been admirably disposed of by Gerald Massey, the poet and Egyptologist, in a lecture on “Luniolatry, Ancient and Modern.”

The Mystery Language and Its Keys

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Recent discoveries made by great mathematicians and Kabalists prove that every theology came from:

a common source of abstract beliefs
one universal Esoteric Language.

The proof of this lies, to this day, in the extreme difficulty which the Orientalists in general, and the Indianists and Egyptologists in particular, experience in interpreting the allegorical writings of the Âryans and the hieratic records of old Egypt.

The Jewish system of sacred measures

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Jewish system of sacred measures, applied to religious symbols, is the same, so far as geometrical and numerical combinations go, as those of Greece, Chaldæa and Egypt.

It was adopted by the Israelites after their slavery among the two latter nations.458

The symbols in Eastern Esotericism

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

And, perchance, in the Mosaic beginnings, the symbology was not so crude as it became later under the handling of Ezra, who remodelled the whole Pentateuch. To take an instance, the glyph of Pharaoh’s daughter (the woman), the Nile (the Great Deep and Water), and the baby-boy found floating therein in the ark of rushes, was not primarily composed for, or by, Moses.

Primordial Substance and Divine Thought

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

As it would seem irrational to affirm that we already know all existing causes, permission must be given to assume, if need be, an entirely new agent.

Assuming, what is not strictly accurate as yet, that the undulatory hypothesis accounts for all the facts, we are called on to decide whether the existence of an undulating ether is thereby proved. We cannot positively affirm that no other supposition will explain the facts. Newton’s corpuscular hypothesis is admitted to have broken down on interference; and there is, at the present day, no rival.

Chaos, Theos, Kosmos

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

These three are the containment of Space; or, as a learned Kabalist has defined it: “Space, the all-containing uncontained, is the primary embodiment of simple Unity … boundless extension.”508

But, he asks again: “boundless extension of what?”—and makes the correct reply: “The Unknown Container of All, the Unknown First Cause.” This is a most correct definition and answer; most esoteric and true, from every aspect of Occult Teaching.

The Hidden Deity, Its Symbols and Glyphs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Logos, or Creative Deity, the “Word made Flesh,” of every religion, has to be traced to its ultimate source and essence.

In India, it is a Proteus of 1,008 divine names and aspects in each of its personal transformations, from Brahmâ-Purusha, through the Seven Divine Rishis and Ten Semi-divine Prajâpatis (also Rishis), down to the Divine-human Avatâras.

The Mundane Egg

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Whence this universal symbol?

The Egg was incorporated as a sacred sign in the Cosmogony of every people on the earth, and was revered both on account of its form and of its inner mystery.

The Moon; Deus Lunus, Phœbe

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This archaic symbol is the most poetical and philosophical of all symbols.

The ancient Greeks brought it into prominence, and the modern poets have worn it threadbare.

The Queen of Night, riding in the majesty of her peerless light in Heaven, throwing all, even Hesperus, into darkness, and spreading her silver mantle over the whole Sidereal World, has ever been a favourite theme with all the poets of Christendom, from Milton and Shakespeare down to the latest versifier.

Tree, Serpent, and Crocodile Worship

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Object of horror or of adoration, men have for the serpent an implacable hatred, or prostrate themselves before its genius. Lie calls it, Prudence claims it, Envy carries it in its heart, and Eloquence on its caduceus. In Hell it arms the whip of the Furies; in Heaven Eternity makes of it its symbol.

Demon est Deus Inversus

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This sentence is most dangerous and iconoclastic in the face of all the dualistic later religions, especially Christianity.

It is not just Christianity which has conceived and brought forth Satan:

The Idea of Cyclic Evolution

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Before we can approach the evolution of Physical and Divine Man, we have first to master the idea of Cyclic Evolution.

We must learn:

the philosophies and beliefs of the four Races which preceded our present Race
what were the ideas of those Titans and Giants*

Superphysics Note!

The giants were merely Nephilim as Anunnaki on Earth

The whole of antiquity was imbued with that philosophy which teaches the involution of Spirit into Matter, the progressive, downward cyclic descent, or active, self-conscious evolution.

The Theogony of the Creative Gods

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To thoroughly comprehend the idea underlying every ancient Cosmology necessitates the study and comparative analysis of all the great religions of antiquity; for it is only by this method that the root-idea can be made plain. Exact Science, could it soar so high, in tracing the operations of Nature to their ultimate and original sources, would call this idea the Hierarchy of Forces. The original, transcendental and philosophical conception was one.

The Seven Creations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

There was neither day nor night, nor sky nor earth, nor darkness nor light, nor any other thing save only One, unapprehensive by intellect, or That which is Brahma and Pums (Spirit) and Pradhâna ([crude] Matter).723

The Four Elements

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Metaphysically and esoterically, there is but One Element in Nature, and at the root of it is the Deity.

The so-called 7 Elements are the veil of that Deity.

5 of these have already manifested

The essence of these leads to Man, whether considered physically, psychically, mentally or spiritually.

Kwan-Shi-Yin and Kwan-Yin

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Like Avalokiteshvara, Kwan-Shi-Yin has passed through several transformations.

But it is an error to say that he is a modern invention of the Northern Buddhists, for under another appellation he has been known from the earliest times.
