In a previous note, the theme of the divine powers inherent in numbers was already partly touched. Let us now delve on the matter with greater depth, and see what the Mahatmas & Chohans, through their chela HPBlavatsky, had articulated about it. More >

The ‘virgin egg’, ‘cosmic egg’, ‘germ’, ‘world egg’, and related symbols are observed among the standard esoteric/mystical nature symbols. Another of the cross-cultural symbols, the ‘egg’ broadly signifies the fertilization or fecundation process. Let us see what the Stanza 3, Book of Dzyan, has to say about the subject of ‘eggness’.

Let’s move on to the subject of the awakening of Kosmos. All of the pre-requisites of being, existence, nature, universe, sentient life were already so far presented for our reflection. Let’s follow through with the peregrinations of the Perfected Ones who, since the very ancient times, provided us the legacy of Theos Sophia or divine wisdom. More >

In the mantra OM TAT SAT OM is embedded the Sat. Sat appertains to the totality of reality, of Absolute Being, and has no direct translation or is untranslatable. The human mind however tends to put things in mental brackets, such as to equate Sat to “universe blanketed by intelligence” which makes no sense to the spiritual Hierarchy.
Brahma, deity of the physical universe, is male-female. Yet to the fanatical blind faith followers, Brahma is presumed male. This note, focused on the theme of ‘divine thought’ in Sloka 6 of Stanza 2, Book of Dzyan, aids in understanding the subject of Sat, Brahma, and related divine truths.
The spiritually Perfected Ones thus declared, in Sloka 6, the contention: “THESE TWO ARE THE GERM, AND THE GERM IS—ONE. THE UNIVERSE WAS STILL CONCEALED IN THE DIVINE THOUGHT AND THE DIVINE BOSOM.”
HPB, with the close guidance of the Mahatmas of the spiritual Brotherhood, substantiated the theme with the following articulation, as contained in Volume I, Secret Doctrine:
The “Divine Thought” does not imply the idea of a Divine thinker. The Universe, not only past, present, and future—which is a human and finite idea expressed by finite thought—but in its totality, the Sat (an untranslateable term), the absolute being, with the Past and Future crystallized in an eternal Present, is that Thought itself reflected in a secondary or manifest cause. Brahma (neuter) as the Mysterium Magnum of Paracelsus is an absolute mystery to the human mind. Brahmâ, the male-female, its aspect and anthropomorphic reflection, is conceivable to the perceptions of blind faith, though rejected by human intellect when it attains its majority. (See Part II., “Primordial Substance and Divine Thought.”)
Hence the statement that during the prologue, so to say, of the drama of Creation, or the beginning of cosmic evolution, the Universe or the “Son” lies still concealed “in the Divine Thought,” which had not yet penetrated “into the Divine Bosom.” This idea, note well, is at the root, and forms the origin of all the allegories about the “Sons of God” born of immaculate virgins.

The ‘7 sons’ and mulaprakriti or svabhavat (plastic essence of the universe) were then clarified by the spiritually Perfected Ones. Note that the ‘7 sons’ and ‘plastic essence of the universe’ are intertwined, as the divine creator beings (sons) couldn’t work out on manifesting reality down to the lowest planes without the svabhavat.

Let’s move on to the subject of ‘germ of life’. Stanza 2 seems to parallel much the phenomenology of Hegel whose disputations centered on the process of ‘being-in-itself’ mutating into a ‘being-for-itself’. Along such a line of thought, we can reflect on the evolutionary process it takes for the ‘germ of life’ to proceed from “was-not” (potentiality) to “is” (actuality). More >

Does the Absolute know itself? What is Absolute Being? Does it not require senses in order to know the self? How can the senses be there during the ‘deep sleep’ phase of the great cycle of Maha-kalpa? If in such a state without senses, is Absolute Being then the same as Non-Being? More >

When an Aspirant becomes purified, his/her higher faculties would consequently open, as the former veils that block access to the higher spheres and the higher mind are dropped off.
So was it contended by the Perfected Ones, in Sloka 8 of Stanza 1, Book of Dzyan, the following: “ALONE, THE ONE FORM OF EXISTENCE STRETCHED BOUNDLESS, INFINITE, CAUSELESS, IN DREAMLESS SLEEP (a); AND LIFE PULSATED UNCONSCIOUS IN UNIVERSAL SPACE, THROUGHOUT THAT ALL-PRESENCE WHICH IS SENSED BY THE “OPENED EYE”* OF THE DANGMA (b).’ More >

There is nary a metaphysical question that the Perfected Ones didn’t touch on, thus rendering their thoughts far superior to those done by materialist Western philosophers. The Perfected Ones thus cogitated, concerning the subject of being and existence, in Sloka 7 of Stanza 1, Book of Dzyan, to note: “THE CAUSES OF EXISTENCE HAD BEEN DONE AWAY WITH (a); THE VISIBLE THAT WAS, AND THE INVISIBLE THAT IS, RESTED IN ETERNAL NON-BEING, THE ONE BEING (b).” More >

What causes misery? Perfected Ones, embodied as great Teachers, have echoed the same theme time and again. And so did they declare it, in Sloka 4 of Stanza, Book of Dzyan: “ THE SEVEN WAYS TO BLISS (Moksha* or Nirvana) WERE NOT (a). THE GREAT CAUSES OF MISERY (Nidana† and Maya) WERE NOT, FOR THERE WAS NO ONE TO PRODUCE AND GET ENSNARED BY THEM (b). More >
