Abstract Sum
Summing up the above, one can say that the Quaternary of the manifested world is influenced by forces at three levels:
– Septenary of the so‑called Secondary Causations — the planetary influences, i.e., influences stemming from the world’s very purpose as a reflection of the creative Ternary, which exists only abstractly;
– Ennead, which embodies the formative influences on the world, aimed at balancing the Quaternary — preventing it from collapsing into the Ternary or into the Binary (Post‑existence), preventing it from dissolving into higher worlds or burning away in lower ones.
– Dodecenera of the so‑called Tertiary Causations, in which the elements of the Quaternary are fully manifest — that is, the fully realized ideal potential of the world.
Various forces operate at each level, and the scheme we have considered is only a first approximation and does not take into account the sublevels of each tier, symbolized by multiple numbers — for example, an octad formed from two tetrads, or multiples of the dodecenera.
At the same time, all these forces can be regarded as either absolutely impersonal or fully individualized.
Hmm… interesting. Is it possible to relate all this to a person as a micro-universe? Or is a person just a particle entering one of the levels?
A person is not just a “particle.” He is not a means, he is an end, and everything that is true for the Macrocosm is, in analogy, also true for the Microcosm.
Dear Enmenkar, I also believe that a person is not just a carrier for a fragment of the ‘soul’ and a tuning of ‘mind’, for the purpose of realizing reality according to pre-assigned scenarios and established ways of directing everything that has been realized somewhere. The person as a creation and consciousness together is already both consciousness and mind and soul together. But why isn’t this so? Why have those who created us not liberated us, and we continue to develop blindly within limitations and scenarios, in distortions of time instead of living according to the original principle, as laid out in the myth? Is this an error at some level, or is it just an incomprehensible seeming injustice, a design?
I think that the magicians in Mesoamerica, who left whole cities for other ‘worlds’, did so precisely because this world is structured this way. That our consciousness is only available in the present. That we do not see reality as it is, in order to see and execute everything as it is laid out for us.
