When Matronitha, the Mother, is separated and brought face to face with the King, in the excellence of the Sabbath, all things become one body.(384) “Become one body” means, that all is reäbsorbed once more into the One Element, the spirits of men becoming Nirvânîs, and the elements of everything else becoming again what they were before—Protyle or Undifferentiated Substance. “Sabbath” means Rest, or Nirvâna. It is not the “_seventh_ day” after _six_ days, but a period the duration of which equals that of the seven “days,” or any period made up of seven parts. Thus a Pralaya is equal in duration to a Manvantara, or a Night of Brahmâ is equal to his Day. If the Christians will follow Jewish customs, they ought to adopt the spirit and not the dead letter thereof. They should work one week of seven days and _rest_ seven days. That the word “Sabbath” had a mystic significance, is disclosed in the contempt shown by Jesus for the Sabbath day, and by what is said in _Luke_.(385) Sabbath is there taken for the _whole week_. See the Greek text where the week is called “Sabbath.” Literally, “I fast twice in the Sabbath.” Paul, an Initiate, knew it well when referring to the eternal rest and felicity in Heaven, as Sabbath:(386) “and their happiness will be eternal, for they will ever be [one] with the Lord, and will enjoy _an eternal Sabbath_.”(387) The difference between the Kabalah and the archaic Esoteric Vidyâ—taking the Kabalah as contained in the Chaldean _Book of Numbers_, not as misrepresented by its now disfigured copy, the _Kabalah_ of the Christian Mystics—is very small indeed, being confined to unimportant divergences of form and expression. Thus Eastern Occultism refers to our Earth as the Fourth World, the lowest of the Chain, above which run upward on both curves the six Globes, three on each side. The _Zohar_, on the other hand, calls the Earth the lower, or the _seventh_, adding that upon the six depend all things which are in it (Microprosopus). The “Smaller Face [smaller because manifested and finite] is formed of _six_ Sephiroth,” says the same work. “Seven Kings come and _die in the thrice‐destroyed World_ [Malkuth, our Earth, destroyed after each of the Three Rounds which it has gone through]. And their reign [that of the Seven Kings] will be broken up.”(388) This relates to the Seven Races, _five_ of which have already appeared, and _two_ more have still to appear in this Round. The Shinto allegorical accounts of cosmogony and the origin of man, in Japan, hint at the same belief. Captain C. Pfoundes, who studied the religion underlying the various sects of the land, for nearly nine years in the monasteries of Japan, says:
