Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
Sar (circle, saros) is the Babylonian god of the sky. He is also
Assaros or Asshur (the son of Shem), and Zero--Zero-ana, the
chakkra, or wheel, boundless time. Hence, as the first step taken by
Zoroaster, while founding his new religion, was to change the most
sacred deities of the Sanscrit _Veda_ into names of evil spirits, in
his Zend _Scriptures_, and even to reject a number of them, we find
no traces in the _Avesta_ of Chakkra--the symbolic circle of the sky.
Elam, another of the sons of Shem, is _Oulam_ עולם, and refers to an
order or cycle of events. In _Ecclesiastes_ iii. 11, it is termed
“world.” In _Ezekiel_ xxvi. 20, “of old time.” In _Genesis_ iii. 22,
the word stands as “forever;” and in chapter ix. 16, “eternal.”
Finally, the term is completely defined in _Genesis_ vi. 4, in the
following words: “There were _nephelim_ (giants, fallen men, or
Titans) on the earth.” The word is synonymous with Æon, αιων. In
_Proverbs_ viii. 23, it reads: “I was effused from _Oulam_, from
_Ras_” (wisdom). By this sentence, the wise king-kabalist refers to
one of the mysteries of the human spirit--the immortal crown of the
man-trinity. While it ought to read as above, and be interpreted
kabalistically to mean that the _I_ (or my eternal, immortal _Ego_),
the spiritual entity, was effused from the boundless and nameless
eternity, through the creative wisdom of the unknown God, it reads in
the canonical translation: “The Lord possessed me in the beginning of
his way, before his works of old!” which is unintelligible nonsense,
without the kabalistic interpretation. When Solomon is made to say
that _I_ was “from the beginning ... while, as yet, he (the Supreme
Deity) had not made the earth nor the highest part of the dust of the
world ... I was there,” and “when he appointed the foundations of the
earth ... then I was by him, _as one brought up with him_,” what can
the kabalist mean by the “_I_,” but his own divine spirit, a drop
effused from that eternal fountain of light and wisdom--the universal
spirit of the Deity?
