Ultimately, all is ONE.
One uni-verse, one cosmic mind,
One God.
We get a taste of this Absolute Unity
in nondual awareness.
o
The ONE becomes THREE with the birth of duality.
A exists in relation to A’ (not-A),
producing three terms: A, A’ and AA’.
In Kashmir Shaivism, we have Parashiva, Shiva and 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.
This constitutes an octave, expressed in the Ray of Creation
as Emptiness, Energy, Matter, Life, Mind, Planetary and Universal Consciousness.
o
The TWELVE represents the months of the solar calendar.
o
We can envisage the relationship between 1, 3, 7 and 12
as an expanding and contracting sphere
surrounded by two rotating wheels,
something like a pump and a gyroscope in one.
o
The centre of the sphere is ONE indivisible point,
which expands to THREE and SEVEN
before contracting back to ONE again.
o
The two rotating wheels
represent the TWELVE month cycle
of the liturgical year of holy days, festivals and readings
and the TWELVE monthly playlists,
turning like two Tibetan prayer wheels
around a breathing universe.
