Isis unveiled, Volume 2 (of 2), Theology : $b A master-key to the mysteries of ancient and modern science and theology
Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
“Philosophers say the first air is _anima mundi_. But the garment
(Shekinah) is higher than the first air, since it is joined closer
to the En-Soph, the Boundless.”[436] Thus _Sophia_ is Shekinah, and
Sophia-Achamoth the _anima mundi_, the astral light of the kabalists,
which contains the spiritual and material germs of all _that is_. For
the Sophia-Achamoth, like _Eve_, of whom she is the prototype, is
“the mother of all that live.”
There are three trinities in the Nazarene system as well as in the
Hindu philosophy of the ante and early Vedic period. While we see
the few translators of the _Kabala_, the Nazarene _Codex_, and other
abstruse works, hopelessly floundering amid the interminable pantheon
of names, unable to agree as to a system in which to classify them,
for the one hypothesis contradicts and overturns the other, we can
but wonder at all this trouble, which could be so easily overcome.
But even now, when the translation, and even the perusal of the
ancient Sanscrit has become so easy as a point of comparison,
they would never think it possible that every philosophy--whether
Semitic, Hamitic, or Turanian, as they call it, has its key in the
Hindu sacred works. Still facts are there, and facts are not easily
destroyed. Thus, while we find the Hindu trimurti triply manifested as
Nara (or Para-Pouroucha), Agni, Brahma, the Father,
Nari (Mariama), Vaya, Vishnu, the Mother,
Viradj (Brahmä), Surya, Siva, the Son,
and the Egyptian trinity as follows:
Kneph (or Amon), Osiris, Ra (Horus), the Father,
Maut (or Mut), Isis, Isis, the Mother,
Khons, Horus, Malouli, the Son;[437]
the Nazarene System runs,
Ferho (Ish-Amon), Mano, Abatur, the Father,
Chaos (dark water), Spiritus (female), Netubto, the Mother,
Fetahil, Ledhaio, Lord Jordan, the Son.
The first is the concealed or non-manifested trinity--a pure
abstraction. The other the active or the one revealed in the results
of creation, proceeding out of the former--its spiritual prototype.
The third is the mutilated image of both the others, crystallized in
the form of human dogmas, which vary according to the exuberance of
the national materialistic fancy.
