Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
Cain has been shown to be ... the 360 circle of the Zodiac, the
perfect and exact standard, by a squared division; hence his name
of Melchizadik.... [The geometrical and numerical demonstrations
here follow.] It has been repeatedly stated that the object of the
Great Pyramid construction was to measure the _heavens and the
earth_ ... [the objective spheres as evoluting from the
subjective, purely spiritual Kosmos, we beg leave to add];
therefore, its measuring containment would indicate all the
substance of measure of _the heavens and the earth_, or agreeably
to ancient recognition, _Earth_, _Air_, _Water_ and _Fire_.(284)
(The base side of this pyramid was diameter to a circumference _in
feet_ of 2400. The characteristic of this is 24 feet, or 6 × 4 =
24, or this very Cain‐Adam square.) Now, by the restoration of the
encampment of the Israelites, as initiated by Moses, by the great
scholar, Father Athanasius Kircher, the Jesuit priest, the above
is precisely, by Biblical record and traditionary sources, the
method of laying off this encampment. The _four interior squares_
were devoted to (1) Moses and Aaron; (2) Kohath; (3) Gershom; and
(4) Merari—the last three being the heads of the Levites. The
attributes of these squares were the _primal_ attributes of Adam‐
Mars and were concreted of the elements, _Earth_, _Air_, _Fire_,
_Water_, or ים = Iam = _Water_, נור = Nour = _Fire_, רוח = Rouach
= _Air_, and יבשׂׂשׂה = Iābeshah = _Earth_. The initial letters of
these words are INRI—the symbol usually translated as _I_esus
_N_azarenus _R_ex _I_udæorum—“Jesus of Nazareth, King of the
Jews.” This square of INRI is the _Adam square_, which was
extended from, as a foundation, into four others of 144 × 2 = 288,
to the side of the large square of 288 × 4 = 1152, = the whole
circumference. But this square is the display of also circular
elements and 115·2 can denote this. Put _INRI_ into a circle, or
read it as the letters stand in the square, as to its values of
1521, and we have [Symbol: circle with numbers inside: 1, 1, 2, 5]
which reads 115·2.
