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
Mano is the chief of the seven Æons, who are Mano (_Rex Lucis_)
Aiar Zivo, Ignis Vivus, Lux, Vita, Aqua Viva (the living water of
baptism, the genius of the Jordan), and Ipsa Vita, the chief of the
six genii, which form with him the mystic _seven_. The Nazarene Mano
is simply the copy of the Hindu first Manu--the emanation of Manu
Swayambhuva--from whom evolve in succession the six other Manus,
types of the subsequent races of men. We find them all represented by
the apostle-kabalist John in the “seven lamps of fire” burning before
the throne, which are the seven spirits of God,[444] and in the seven
angels bearing the seven vials. Again in Fetahil we recognize the
original of the Christian doctrine.
In the _Revelation_ of Joannes Theologos it is said: “I turned and
saw in the midst of the _seven_ candlesticks one like unto the Son
of man ... his head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as
snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire ... and his feet like unto
fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace” (i. 13, 14, 15). _John_
here repeats, as is well known, the words of Daniel and Ezekiel.
“The Ancient of Days ... whose hair was white as pure wool ... etc.”
And “the appearance of a _man_ ... above the throne ... and the
appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.”[445] The
fire being “the glory of the Lord.” Fetahil is son of the man, the
Third Life, and his upper part is represented as white as snow, while
standing near the throne of the living fire he has the appearance of
a flame.
