Courses on Philosophy

Course XXXI - Teaching 15: Primordial Substance and Seven Rays

The Primordial Substance is perfectly equal to the Absolute One, Spirit-Consciousness, but it is not the Spirit in Se. To the mind of man, this eternal and real union between Spirit in Se and Primordial Substance remains a mystery.

Course XXXI - Teaching 16: The Ired of Hes

The universal movement is called Ired. It is the Unique Law –as a zero point in the immense space. Any law depends on it and converges on it. Here an example may be necessary: If you blow a ball up, and fill it with air, and later you blow it up again with more and more strength, the new air presses against the previous air, and this pressure changes the form of the air inside the balloon, by compressing and expanding it.

Course XXXII - Teaching 1: Hes’ Word

When the human mind, flying toward high regions of the universal formation, focuses the first Divine Thought –which created the Universe or from which the Universe emerges– this mind gets lost in a dreadful abyss beyond description, and goes astray in the vast waters of the Eternity.

Course XXXII - Teaching 2: Definitions of Hes’ Words

HE IS NOT. The Non-Manifested One does not admit definition; His definition would be His negation. HE IS ONE. The manifestation is Unity, totality of the Universal Spirit. ALL ARE ONE IN HIM.

Course XXXII - Teaching 3: First Nine Words Explained

“HE IS NOT.” As universal foundation, God cannot be defined. To define it would mean to negate him; one would limit it by attributing qualities. If the human spirit could reach Him, this spirit would be unable to describe Him because it would be absorbed into the Eternal One at once.

Course XXXII - Teaching 4: Ten Creational Words

“NOW HE IS AT UNIVERSAL WORK; HE GOES BACK TO THE MANIFESTATION.” In Universal Manifestation, separations become visible and tangible. Seemingly Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience are separate and form independent states for the order of the Cosmic Work.

Course XXII - Teaching 5: Eight Planetary Words

“HE MADE THE WORLDS.” God made the Universe and maintains it in order to recognise in Himself His potential and active Divinity; so, when a man sees how his ideas are achieved, he recognizes their worth.

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.

Course XXXII - Teaching 7: Graphic Symbols

These wonderful symbols are emblems of NON-BEING, BEING AND NON-BEING; they are emblems of AWAKENING and PRIMARY MANIFESTATION; they are emblems of UNIVERSAL CREATION AND FORMATION OF PLANETARY SYSTEMS; and finally, are emblems of HUMANITY with the foot aiming at the last stair, in order to return to all above mentioned and to be re-absorbed in the NON-BEING.

Course XXXII - Teaching 8: Non-Being

If this was a right teaching, it could not have anything besides the above designed drawing. But by explaining this teaching here, the student can understand why a human mind cannot account for the Non-Being.
