6. The Lipika circumscribe the Triangle, the First One, the Cube, the
Second One, and the Pentacle within the Egg. It is the Ring called “Pass
Not” for those who descend and ascend; who during the Kalpa are
progressing towards the Great Day “Be With Us.”... Thus were formed the
Arûpa and the Rûpa: from One Light, Seven Lights; from each of the Seven,
seven times Seven Lights. The Wheels watch the Ring....
Stanza VI.
1. By the power of the Mother of Mercy and Knowledge, Kwan‐Yin—the Triple
of Kwan‐Shai‐Yin, residing in Kwan‐Yin‐Tien—Fohat, the Breath of their
Progeny, the Son of the Sons, having called forth, from the lower Abyss,
the Illusive Form of Sien‐Tchan and the Seven Elements.
2. The Swift and the Radiant One produces the seven Laya Centres, against
which none will prevail to the Great Day “Be With Us”; and seats the
Universe on these Eternal Foundations, surrounding Sien‐Tchan with the
Elementary Germs.
3. Of the Seven—first One manifested, Six concealed; Two manifested, Five
concealed; Three manifested, Four concealed; Four produced, Three hidden;
Four and One Tsan revealed, Two and One‐Half concealed; Six to be
manifested, One laid aside. Lastly, Seven Small Wheels revolving: one
giving birth to the other.
4. He builds them in the likeness of older Wheels, placing them on the
Imperishable Centres.
How does Fohat build them? He collects the Fiery‐Dust. He makes Balls of
Fire, runs through them, and round them, infusing life thereïnto, then
sets them into motion; some one way, some the other way. They are cold, he
makes them hot. They are dry, he makes them moist. They shine, he fans and
cools them. Thus acts Fohat from one Twilight to the other, during Seven
Eternities.
5. At the Fourth, the Sons are told to create their Images. One‐Third
refuses. Two obey.
The Curse is pronounced. They will be born in the Fourth, suffer and cause
suffering. This is the First War.
6. The Older Wheels rotated downward and upward.... The Mother’s Spawn
filled the whole. There were Battles fought between the Creators and the
Destroyers, and Battles fought for Space; the Seed appearing and
reäppearing continuously.
7. Make thy calculations, O Lanoo, if thou wouldst learn the correct age
of thy Small Wheel. Its Fourth Spoke is our Mother. Reach the Fourth Fruit
of the Fourth Path of Knowledge that leads to Nirvana, and thou shalt
comprehend, for thou shalt see....
Stanza VII.
1. Behold the beginning of sentient formless Life.
First, the Divine, the One from the Mother‐Spirit; then, the Spiritual;
the Three from the One, the Four from the One, and the Five, from which
the Three, the Five and the Seven. These are the Three‐fold and the Four‐
fold downward; the Mind‐born Sons of the First Lord, the Shining Seven. It
is they who are thou, I, he, O Lanoo; they who watch over thee and thy
mother, Bhûmî.
