Course XXXII - Teaching 6: Seven Virtual Words

“HIS EXTREMITIES ARE FOUR: THEOGONY, COSMOGONY, THEURGY AND PHYSICS.”
When the Sacred Triad is completely materialized, It becomes a square symbolizing weightiness of the human life. Ideas take form and aspects of gods, or Theogony; powers of Nature, ideas-mothers of the Cosmos, remain veiled behind symbols and obscure sentences in religious Genesis, or Cosmogony. Simple Foat’s movements, tracing harmonious steps on magnetic fields of the sky, touched by human hands, lose their vibratory power and transform the pure white magic of the Divine Builders into black magic of human races, or Theurgy. The immaculate purity of the cosmic matter, perpetually regenerating itself in the Eternal Fountain, becomes blind experiments, death, pain, old age and ruin, or Physics, because of the human short sight.
“HIS WISDOMS ARE FIVE AND WITHIN THE REACH OF MAN.”
A man can reach the spiritual, mental, energetic and material recognition by efforts, starting his journey, with his cross upon his shoulders and transforming this cross into swastika. In short, you should add individual efforts to the number “four” (material number) in order to get the “five” (number of sacrifice).
“SIX SACRED CHANDELIERS ILLUMINATE THE ALTAR IN HIS TEMPLE: FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY; OBEDIENCE, POVERTY AND CHASTITY.”
This describes six steps that a soul should take to perfecting itself; the six aspects of the Divine Mother are symbols of these steps.
“BUT ALL THINGS ARE DIVIDED BY NUMBER SEVEN: DISCIPLE, CALCULATE, AND YOU WILL GET THE COUNT OF THE UNIVERSE.”
If you had a pair number, you never would reach the Divine; you can attain God just by a pair number and one. As soon as the three basic qualities, owners of their respective pairs of opposites, recognize themselves, they possess the perfect number because they are: three and three, and one by recognition. “EIGHT IS NUMBER OF ITS HARMONIES; FOUR ABOVE AND FOUR BELOW. DIVINE AND HUMAN, DAY AND NIGHT, PAIRS OF OPPOSITES KNOWING ONE ANOTHER, AND NEVER MEETING.”
This number becomes indispensable to maintaining harmony between the Divine and Humanity. Was it not for the recognition of the Created Universe as to its worth, every soul would merge at once in the Eternal One by recognizing his Divine Essence. This harmony retains one more time the ascending souls and causes them to avoid knowing too much and to keep a balance between what is Not and what Is.
“NINE IS NUMBER OF ITS DIVINE BUILDERS, OF ITS DISTRIBUTORS, AND OF ITS MAKERS.”
Three perfect triangles are the true masons of the Universe. Therefore, all Creational hierarchies are nine: One mind, one energy and one matter launching the idea; one mind, one energy and one matter transmitting the idea; and one mind, one energy and one matter bringing it into effect.
“TEN IS NUMBER OF PERFECT UNION… PEACEFUL HEAVEN, SILENT NIRVANA, OLYMPUS OF REALIZATION.”
All that was, will be again; all that departed, has to return; but it never will be what it was. If God Is and always Is, He never ceases to be Nihilomnia (Nothing-All), He that Is Not.
