“By dint of His will, the Lord, the undecaying substratum or reality of the universe, gave the first impetus to Nature to shake off her state of primal equipoise and to be gradually and successfully evolved into those categories and elements which were necessary for the formation of the present universe. The first evolute is Akasa. Why should Akasa be the first evolute? Because, without space, nothing can exist. Prana acted on Akasa. There was Spandana or vibration. Wherever there is vibration, there must be motion. Motion is the quality of air. Therefore, air came out of Akasa. Motion produced heat. Therefore, fire was born of Vayu or air. When there is heat, water is produced. On a hot day, the body perspires. Hence, water was born of fire. Wherever there is water, there is food. Earth is Annam or food. Therefore, earth was born of water. The subtler the element, the more powerful it is. Water is more powerful than earth, because it is more subtle than earth. Water removes away earth. Fire is more powerful than water, because it is more subtle than water. Fire dries up all water. Air is more powerful than fire, because it is more subtle than fire. Air blows up fire. Ether or Akasa is more powerful than air, because it is more subtle than air. Air rests in Akasa. Akasa is the support for air. Air is born of Akasa, fire is born of air, water is born of fire, earth is born of water. During cosmic Pralaya, earth is reduced or involved into water, water into fire, fire into air, and air into Akasa.” —Swami Sivananda
In the Beginning
Tao emaned the One;
The One emaned the Two;
And the Two emaned the Three.
The Tree of Life
The first triangle of the Tree of Life (the sephiroth Kether, Chokmah, and Binah) is ruled by the crown, Kether, related to our head, specifically, the two hemispheres of our brain and the pineal gland. The first triangle is controlled by the Father. Thereafter, comes the second triangle of the Tree of Life, formed by the sephiroth Chesed, Geburah and Tiphereth; this triangle is controlled by Chokmah, the second Sephirah of the crown.
Thule, Tula, Polaris
(Greek: Θούλη, Thoúlē; Latin: Thule, Tile) A mystical, ancient, far-northern location described in classical literature that is variously assumed to represent Ireland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, etc, all of which are mistaken. Virgil used the word Thile in Georgics 1.30 to mean “furthest land” as a symbolic reference to denote a far-off land or an unattainable goal. The astronomer Geminus of Rhodes said that the name Thule derived from an archaic word for the polar night, meaning “the place where the sun goes to rest.” In truth, Thule refers to the ancient land of Polaris, the continent inhabited by the polar race, the first human race on this planet, many millions of years ago.
