xx. _Matter or Substance is septenary within our World, as it is so beyond it. Moreover, each of its states or principles is graduated into seven degrees of density. Sûrya [the Sun], in its visible reflection, exhibits the first or lowest state of the seventh, the highest state of the Universal_ PRESENCE, _the pure of the pure, the first manifested Breath of the Ever‐Unmanifested Sat [Be‐ness]. All the central physical or objective Suns are in their substance the lowest state of the first principle of the Breath. Nor are any of these any more than the Reflections of their Primaries, which are concealed from the gaze of all but the Dhyân Chohans, whose corporeal substance belongs to the fifth division of the seventh principle of the Mother‐Substance, and is, therefore, four degrees higher than the solar reflected substance. As there are seven Dhâtu [principal substances in the human body], so there are seven Forces in Man and in all Nature._ xxi. _The real substance of the Concealed [Sun] is nucleus of __ Mother‐ Substance._(_435_)_ It is the Heart and Matrix of all the living and existing Forces in our Solar Universe. It is the Kernel from which proceed to spread on their cyclic journeys all the Powers that set in action the Atoms, in their functional duties, and the Focus within which they again meet in their Seventh Essence every eleventh year. He who tells thee he has seen the Sun, laugh at him,_(_436_)_ as if he had said that the Sun moves really onward in his diurnal path...._ xxiii. _It is on account of his septenary nature, that the Sun is spoken of by the ancients as one who is driven by seven horses equal to the metres of the Vedas; or, again, that, though he is identified with the seven Gana [Classes of Being] in his orb, he is distinct from them,_(_437_)_ as he is, indeed; as also that he has Seven Rays, as indeed he has...._ xxv. _The Seven Beings in the Sun are the Seven Holy Ones, self‐born from the inherent power in the Matrix of Mother‐Substance. It is they who send the seven principal Forces, called Rays, which at the beginning of Pralaya will centre into seven new Suns for the next Manvantara. The energy, from which they spring into conscious existence in every Sun, is what some people call Vishnu, which is the Breath of the __ABSOLUTENESS__._ _We call it the One Manifested life—itself a reflection of the Absolute...._ xxvii. _The latter must never be mentioned in words or speech_, LEST IT SHOULD TAKE AWAY SOME OF OUR SPIRITUAL ENERGIES _that aspire towards_ ITS _state, gravitating ever toward unto_ IT _spiritually, as the whole physical universe gravitates towards_ ITS _manifested centre—cosmically._ xxviii. _The former—the Initial Existence—which may be called, while in this state of being, the_ ONE LIFE, _is, as explained, a Film for creative or formative purposes. It manifests in seven states, which, with their septenary sub‐divisions, are the Forty‐nine Fires mentioned in sacred books...._
