Fifteen Rosicrucian and Qabbalistic Diagrams-f

Figure 59 represents this solar system, with W and X as the locality of the Garden of Eden. Table VII, Figures 1-5, 7 and 8 *** TABLE VII, Figures 1-5, 7, 8 . (Table VIII has Figure 6.) Figure 1 is the triune divine sulphur, the All-Perfect out of the All-Perfect, the Soul of creatures. The threefold Divine One is symbolized by three interlaced circles designated alchemically salt , sulphur , and mercury . In the central triangle is the divine name Ehieh . Geist means spirit. The other words require no translation. Figure 2 is common destructive sulphur. A bar placed in the triangle makes it the character of earth. Figure 3 is true oil of vitriol, composed of a circle with two diameters and two reversed half-circles hanging below. In this are hidden the characters of all metals. Tin is symbolized by Figure 4 and iron by Figure 5. Figure 7 is the solar system according to Copernicus. Figure 8 is the last judgment. The sun is removed from the center of the solar system and replaced by the earth. This changes the respective positions of all the other planets except Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, which retain their respective circles. The letter a signifies the circle of the sun; b , that of Mercury; c , that of Venus; d , (sic) that of the moon; and E , that of the earth. Inward from the sphere h are the great circles of damnation. Table VIII, Figure 6. *** TABLE VIII., Figure 6 . In Figure 6 the letter a marks the center of eternity. The motion of the rays toward b , d , and c was the first divine manifestation and is symbolized by the equilateral triangle, b , d , c . The eternal world within the inner circle became manifest in the water (salt), the light (mercury), and the fire (sulphur) of the archetypal world, represented by the three circles ( f , e , g ) within the triangle of complete equality ( h , i , k ), which is in turn surrounded by the circle of the high throne. The circle f is named understanding ; e , wisdom ; g , reason . In circle i is the word Father ; in circle h , Son ; in circle k , Spirit . The seven outer circles are the seven spirits before the throne. The lower part of the figure is similar to Figures 53 and 54. The outer circles are the angelic world ending in the cognizable world of the Sons of God. Then comes the circle of the visible constellations and fixed stars; within this is the solar system with the sun as the center ( l ). Ungrund means the Abyss. Table X, Figures 10-15. *** TABLE IX, Figure 9 . Figure 9 is a synthesis of the Old and New Testaments and represents the interblending planes of being. In the right margin the seven outer circles contain the names of the planetary angels. The words in the graduated circles from the top triangle downward read: (1) Abyss of Compassion ; (2) Zion ; (3) The New Heaven and the New Earth ; (4) The New Jerusalem ; (5) Paradise ; (6) The Bosom of Abraham ; (7) The Outer Courts of the Lord . From below the circles of darkness reach upward, each divine principle being opposed by an infernal opposite. The small circle on the left containing a triangle and cross is named The Tree of Life , and that on the right The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil . In the center of the diagram is the Trinity, joined with the superior and inferior planes by lines of activity. TABLE X, Figures 10-15 .
