fill。 

     This is somewhat similar to their illusive Devachan�察�an ideal�察�a mere 

mystical   sentiment   to   gush   over�察  �but   a   something   they   do   not   in   reality 

comprehend。 Therefore�察�we shall do our utmost to explain this universal 

law�察�and to point out wherein its first principles are manifest。 Once these 

are mastered�察�the Golden Rule will explain all the rest�此 �As it is below�察�so 

it is above�察�as on the earth�察�so in the sky。; 

     Here�察  �then�察  �is   our   first   lesson   on   the   subject   of   REALITY�察  �which 

constitutes the Hermetic science of Correspondences。 

     First�察�realize  that   a line or   an angle�察 �for instance�察�is   something   more 

than its mere mathematical outline。 It corresponds to some power�察�force�察�

or principle within the great Anima´Mundi of the mysteries�察�that are trying 

to find expression�察�in their evolutionary journey�察�in forms。 Let us illustrate 

our meaning。 A point or dot is what�拭�Well�察�externally it is the alpha of all 

mathematics。        It  is  the   first  finite  manifestation       of  the   spiritual   force。 

Within that dot lies concealed�察�in embryo�察�all the future possibilities of the 

manifesting principle。 

     This   dot   or   point   is   a   something   to   begin   with�察  �a   form   externalized�察�

from which   all future   forms   may  spring forth�察  �and they  may be   infinite�察�

both in number and variety。 First a primary�察�simple idea�察�from which all 

ideas and thoughts�察�intricate and complex�察�have their being。 

     A point extended is a straight line�察�scientifically expressed ��whereas in 

real truth there is no such thing as a straight line���察�that is to say�察�it is a form 

increased   or   multiplied  by  itself�察  �and   therefore�察  �is   an   extension   in   space 

that can be measured�察�and each extension means a new form�察�an additional 

symbol。   It   has   taken   on   new   aspects�察  �new   relations�察  �hence   contains   the 

second   principle   of   mathematics�察  �so   to   say�察  �but�察  �besides   being   points�察�

THEY ARE SYMBOLS。 They are principles in Nature as clearly related 

to each other as the leaf and the stem of plant life。 

     Each monad�察�or point in the universe�察�is the beginning of something�察�

equally   so�察  �it   is   also   the   termination   of   its   own   forces   in   that   particular 

action�察  �and   will   remain   inert   until   it   becomes   acted   upon   by   something 

else。 

     A point�察�then�察�is a primary�察�simple idea�察�a straight line。 An angle is the 

same   idea�察  �rendered   greater   and   more   complex�察  �and   refers   to   the   same 

forces   upon   a   different   plane�察  �and   the   more   we   multiply   the   angles   the 

more      complex      and    far´reaching      becomes      the   symbol      and    the   more 

numerous and diverse become its planes of action。 Here we will introduce 

an   example。 A  trine   represents   three   forces   or   angles�察  �and�察  �when   united�察�

form a trinity�察�hence harmony。 Its apex ��when above�� is celestial�察�therefore 

represents the male forces of spirit。 

     A trine reversed also represents the same forces�察�with its apex in matter�察�

hence   it   is   negative。   In   these   two   complex   ideas�察  �clearly   represented   by 

these    symbols�察     �we   have    ALL   matter      and   spirit�察 �and    yet  they   are   but 

extensions of our point in   space�察  �rendered   far´reaching   and   complex�察  �by 

the position and the number of angles presented。 

     Let us turn the key once again�察�and we find that�察�both spirit and matter 

possess      the   same     outline     in  their    primal    concept�察     �except    reversed 

��polarized��。 

     Let us unite these two trines�察�and we have a still more potent form�察�a 

symbol   almost   infinitely   complex。  We   have   spirit   and   matter   united�察  �or�察�

rather�察�three rays of force�察�positive�察�meeting three rays of force�察�negative�察�

at a given point。 Thus we have six points�察�also six sides�察�the ultimate of 



                                                61

which is a cube。 All are now equal。 It is the first force of a crystallization 

��creation�� of matter。 

     Once again let us turn the key�察�and we have our two conceptions in a 

metaphysical sense�察  �the trine  with   its   apex   above  is   as   the  trine  with   its 

apex below�察�both the same in form�察�yet vibrating to very different planes�察�

and     a  very   different    language     is  required     to  read   and   interpret    their 

meaning aright。 The spiritual�察�or the trine with its apex above�察�draws its 

influence from the celestial�察�and as it condenses and takes on form in the 

trine of matter�察�it transmits this same Divine force through its apex�察�which 

points    below�察   �to   matter。   The    double    trine  is  found    upon    every   plane�察�

obeying the Divine Law of Correspondences。 

     It   is�察  �in   this   sense�察  �called   ;Solomon's   Seal�察─  �because   it   is   the   grand 

hieroglyphic of the Hermetic law�此 �As it is above�察�so it is below�察�as on the 

Earth�察�so in the sky。; 

     To   continue   this   line   of   reasoning�察  �or   speculation�察  �let   us   say�察  �would 

lead us beyond the firm basis of human reason�察�it would escape the grasp 

of intellect�察�to which I am compelling this course of instruction to bend�察�

but it would never take us beyond the real limits of the universe�察�yet�察�not 

to extend our investigations�察�we would ever remain in the lower trine�察�in 

the   realms   of   effects�察  �and   lose   sight   entirely   of   the   trine   of   spirit�察  �from 

whence originated the force and potency in the form of matter。 

     Therefore   it   is�察  �that   the   science of   Symbolism  has   been   evolved   and 

formulated。   The   symbols�察  �the   manifestations�察  �are   ever   present�察  �and   the 

study of effects will�察�to a developed soul�察�suggest the cause�察�the nature of 

the   principle   back   of   it�察  �as   well   as   the   law   which   would   produce   such 

effects。 Such is the science of symbolism�察�and it bounds and binds back 

into a religio´philosophical system�察�each class of symbols and each plane 

of manifestation�察�as securely as modern savants have defined the province 

of chemistry�察�magnetism�察�and mathematics�察�and�察�so far�察�these bounds are 

useful。 But it is only a question of time and space�察�after all�察�because�察�when 

resolved   back�察  �or�察  �let   us   say�察  �evolved   up   into   their   abstract   principles�察�

chemistry�察     �magnetism�察     �and    mathematics�察     �are   purely    arbitrary    terms   to 

express special features of the same one eternal thing or sciencewhich is 

EXISTENCE�察  �and   it�察  �in   turn�察  �is   CONSCIOUSNESS�察  �not   that   external

consciousness of existence�察�not that knowledge and love of living�察�but that 

interior�察�conscious knowledge�察�which tells us why and how we exist�察�by 

what force and power we are sustained and permitted to obey and   carry 

out   the   law   of   mediumship�察  �reception   and   transmission�察  �attraction   and 

repulsion�察�spiritual and material�察�that ultimately blend and become as one�察�

the   double   trine�察  �and�察  �united   with   the   Divine   Ego   of   its   being�察  �becomes 

complete�察�seven�察�the perfected number of form。 

     The    sum    total�察 �then�察  �of   all�察 �and  the   value   it  may    possess    to  the 

individual�察  �is   measured   by   his   ability   to   perceive�察  �for   there   is   nothing 

external that is not in some sense mental�察�and there is nothing mental that 

is not in some sense spiritual。 The sides of the triangle�察�physical�察�mental�察�
