Tablet Five
And
God said, Let there be a firmament in the
midst of the
waters, and let it divide the
waters from the
waters.
And
God made the firmament, and divided the
waters which were under the firmament from
the
waters which were above the firmament: and
it was so.
(Genesis 1:6-7)
<1>As
water is a symbol for
consciousness, with this decision He started to divide the
consciousnesses in the universe into many levels according to their
awareness: "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the
waters from the
waters."
<2>The
triangle upward symbolizes the Hierarchy into which the
consciousnesses had been divided. Those in a higher
consciousness are at the top of the triangle and those who are lost
and in a complete illusion of separation are in the bottom of the
triangle ().
<3>Therefore,
the triangle upward ()
represents the Hierarchy of the
unit
consciousnesses which reached
Pure
Consciousness (by the help of
God) in
heaven, those in higher
consciousness, down to the ones completely lost at the bottom.
The more sentient the consciousness, the higher the possibility of
reaching
Pure
Consciousness first.
<4>The two
triangles together symbolize the Kingdom Of
Heaven (in heaven) ().
The triangle upward symbolizes the actions taken to carry out the
activities necessary in the manifested universe to help the
unit
consciousnesses reach the goal (Pure
Consciousness) by all the elements of the universe and those who
reached higher consciousness or
Pure Consciousness. The triangle downward symbolizes the
Universal Mind
which enables God to
control and direct these activities.
<5>Also, the
triangle upward symbolizes action and organization (symbol for
organizational structure) in
heaven, and the triangle
downward symbolizes control and justice.
<6>Then, by
using the
crudifying ability
of the
tama guna,
God started to bind and
crudify the consciousnesses (waters)
toward a more solid state.
<7>As the binding power of the
static force (tama
guna) started working, the first elements of the basic five
elements (ethereal, aerial, luminous, liquid, and solid), namely,
ethereal and aerial factors, became manifested. <8>These two
elements are referred to as the "waters
which were above the firmament." Those consciousnesses which
in the process of crudification became the base for creating the
liquid and solid factors, are called the "waters which were under
the firmament."
And
God called the firmament
Heaven.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
(Genesis 1:8)
<9>So the
elements of the manifested world started to be created. At
this stage those parts of the elements which contained ethereal,
aerial, and gaseous factors were called Heaven (sky or the most
invisible elements in the universe). From this verse on, the
description is about The Plan of creation of the visible elements in
the universe.
And
God said, Let the
waters
under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and
let the dry land appear: and it was so.
(Genesis 1:9)
<10>The "waters
under the heaven" are those consciousnesses which, in the process of
crudification, became the base for creating liquid and solid
factors. Now in this stage they would be crudified further to
create dry land, "Let the
waters under the heaven
be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear."
<11>This
gathering together or
crudifying process
is what is called the
centripetal force
of nature. Through this
centripetal force, different levels of the universal elements,
which are ethereal, aerial, luminous (fire, heat, light), liquid,
and solid, and all the elements between them, were created.
And
God called the dry land Earth; and the
gathering together of the
waters
called he Seas: and
God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:10)
<12>So the
dry land, or the most crudified consciousnesses, became the earth,
or the solid factors in the universe. Also from the rest of
the consciousnesses under the firmament, liquid factor was created,
"called he Seas." With this, all the necessary elements to
start the evolutionary process in the universe were prepared.
