The esoteric
(Ageless Wisdom) tradition holds that behind all manifestation,
eternal and changeless, stands the One, the Source of all. In
the course of manifestation, the One becomes Three and the Three
become Seven. Thus the emergence of the Trinities: in Christianity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit; in Hinduism, Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma;
the threefold constitution of Man: Spirit (or Atma), Soul (Buddhi)
and Intelligence or Mind (Manas); the Seven Rays of manifestation
three of Aspect, four of Quality; the seven colours, three
being Primary, four Secondary; The Seven Spirits before the Throne
of God. (Painted in 1964) |
