This seems to suggest (_a_) that he teaches the existence of an extra‐ cosmic God, thus limiting and conditioning both the Kosmos and the divine Infinity and Omnipresence, which cannot be extraneous to or outside of one single atom; and (_b_) that by skipping the whole of the pre‐cosmic period—the manifested Kosmos here being meant—the very root of Occult teaching, he explains only the Kabalistic meaning of the dead‐letter of the _Bible_ and _Genesis_, leaving its spirit and essence untouched. Surely the “ranges of perception” of the Western mind will not be greatly enlarged by such a limited teaching. Having said a few words on Tohu‐vah‐bohu—the meaning of which Wordsworth rendered graphically as “higgledy‐piggledy”—and having explained that this term denoted Cosmos, he teaches that: Above the dark abyss [Chaos] were the Waters; ... the earth [_la terre!_] was Tohu‐vah‐bohu, _i.e._, in confusion, and darkness covered the face of the Deep, and vehement Breath moved on the Waters when the Spirit exclaimed [?], “Let there be light,” and there was light. Thus the earth [our globe, of course] was in a state of cataclysm; _thick_ vapours veiled the immensity of the sky, the earth was covered with waters and a violent wind was agitating this dark ocean, when at a given moment the equilibrium revealed itself and light reäppeared; the letters that compose the Hebrew word “Bereshith” (the first word of _Genesis_) are “Beth,” the binary, the verb manifested by the act, a _feminine_ letter; then “Resch,” the Verbum and Life, number 20, the disc multiplied by 2; and “Aleph,” the spiritual principle, the Unit, a masculine letter. Place these letters in a triangle and you have the absolute Unity, that without being included into numbers creates the number, the first manifestation, which is 2, and these two united by harmony resulting from the analogy of contraries [opposites], make 1, only. This is why God is called Elohim (plural).
