Ultimately, all is ONE.
One Uni-verse, One Cosmic Mind, One God.
o
We get a taste of this Absolute Oneness
in nondual awareness.
o
The ONE becomes THREE
with the birth of duality.
o
A exists in relation to A’ (not-A),
producing three terms: A, A’ and AA’.
o
In Kashmir Shaivism, we have Parashiva, Shiva, Shakti;
in the Christian Trinity, we have Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
o
The THREE becomes SEVEN in the same way.
A, B, C exist as A, B, C, AB, BC, AC and ABC.
o
This constitutes an octave, expressed in the Ray of Creation
as Emptiness, Energy, Matter, Life, Mind, Planetary and Universal Consciousness.
o
We can envisage the relationship between 1, 3, 7
as an expanding and contracting sphere
o
surrounded by two rotating wheels,
something like a pump and a gyroscope.
o
The centre of the sphere is ONE indivisible point,
which expands to THREE and SEVEN
o
before contracting back to ONE again
and expanding again.
o
The two rotating wheels
represent the cycles
o
of the liturgical year of holy days, festivals and readings
and the TWELVE monthly ceremonies,
o
turning like two Tibetan prayer wheels
around a breathing universe.
