Erle Frayne D. Argonza
Gracious day! May the Glad Tidings of divine wisdom pour unto thy minds and buddhis!
For this note, let us augment our understanding of the secret of the elements. To aid us in this process, we have the symbolisms of the ‘tabernacle’ and the ‘dragons of secret wisdom’ unveiled in their hidden meanings.
The spiritually Perfected Ones declared in Sloka 5 of Stanza 5, Book of Dzyan, the following:
FOHAT TAKES FIVE STRIDES (having already taken the first three) (a), AND BUILDS A WINGED WHEEL AT EACH CORNER OF THE SQUARE FOR THE FOUR HOLY ONES . . . . . . AND THEIR ARMIES (hosts) (b).
HPBlavatsky, magnanimous chela of the mahatmas & chohans, substantiated the sloka in her commentaries, Volume I, Secret Doctrine, as follows:
(a) The “strides,” as already explained (see Commentary on Stanza IV.), refer to both the Cosmic and the Human principles— the latter of which consist, in the exoteric division, of three (Spirit, Soul, and Body), and, in the esoteric calculation, of seven principles—three rays of the Essence and four aspects.* Those who have studied Mr. Sinnett’s “Esoteric Buddhism” can easily grasp the nomenclature. There are two esoteric schools—or rather one school, divided into two parts—one for the inner Lanoos, the other for the outer or semi-lay chelas beyond the Himalayas; the first teaching a septenary, the other a six-fold division of human principles.
From a Cosmic point of view, Fohat taking “five strides” refers here to the five upper planes of Consciousness and Being, the sixth and the seventh (counting downwards) being the astral and the terrestrial, or the two lower planes.
(b) “Four winged wheels at each corner . . . . . for the four holy ones and their armies (hosts)” . . . . . These are the “four Maharajahs” or great Kings of the Dhyan-Chohans, the Devas who preside, each over one of the four cardinal points. They are the Regents or Angels who rule over the Cosmical Forces of North, South, East and West, Forces having each a distinct occult property. These BEINGS are also connected with Karma, as the latter needs physical and material agents to carry out her decrees, such as the four kinds of winds, for instance, professedly admitted by Science to have their respective evil and beneficent influences upon the health of Mankind and every living thing. There is occult philosophy in that Roman Catholic doctrine which traces the various public calamities, such as epidemics of disease, and wars, and so on, to the invisible “Messengers” from North and West. “The glory of God comes from the way of the East” says Ezekiel; while Jeremiah, Isaiah, and the Psalmist assure their readers that all the evil under the Sun comes from the North and t...Read the whole post...
