“Time was not, for it lay asleep in the infinite bosom of duration. Time is only an illusion produced by the succession of our states of consciousness as we travel through eternal duration, and it does not exist where no consciousness exits in which the illusion can be produced but “lies asleep”

After Seven eternities time began. The One became three: The Sun, The Earth and Saturn.

“The causes of existence. The chief of which is the desire to exist, an outcome of nidana and maya. This desire for a sentient life shows itself in everything from an atom to a sun and is a reflection of the divine thought propelled into objective existence into a law that the universe should exist.”

-The Secret Doctrine

“The Mother Goddess was attacked by a searing dry wind that almost extinguished the potential for life altogether. To a human eye it would have looked as if the gently interweaving mists that had first emanated from the mind of God were suddenly overtaken by a second emanation. There was a violent storm like some rare and spectacular phenomenon observed by astronomers - the death of a star perhaps - except that here in the beginning it would have been on a completely overwhelming scale that filled the entire universe. So this is what it would have looked like to a physical eye, but to the eye of the imagination this great cloud of mist and the terrible storm that attacked it can be seen to cloak two gigantic phantoms.”

“Thirty-three is the rhythm of the vegetative realm of the cosmos, the dimension that controls interactions between the spirit worlds and the material world. The closest to an explicit reference to it in exoteric literature comes perhaps in OVi’s Metamorphoses, where the murdered Caesar’s spirit is described exiting by his thirty-three wounds. The secret of thirty-three refers to the number of gateways by which the human spirit may travel between the material world and the spirit worlds. Practical knowledge of these pathways is known only to initiates of the highest level, because it enables them to slip unobtrusively in and out of the material realm.”

“In the spiritual ecology of the cosmos Lucifer is a necessary evil both in this life- because without Lucifer humans could feel no desire - and in the afterlife. Without Lucifer the spirit would be plunged into totally darkness and fail to understand the ascent.”

“Then one day, he says a monster emerged on the seashore, an animal called Oannes ‘…Whose whole body was that of a fish: under the fish’s head he had another head with feet also below similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish’s tail. His voice and language were articulate and human; and representation of him is preserved even to this day …”

“This monster was accustomed to pass the day among men, but took no food then; and he gave them an insight into letters and sciences and arts of every kind. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth and showed them how to collect fruits; in short, he instructed them in everything which could soften manners and humanize their lives … “

“And when the sun had set this being Oannes retired again into the sea, and passed the night in the sea, for he was amphibious…”

“After this appeared other animals like Oannes.”

Epidemic

ALFRED KUBIN, 1900 – 1901

“The beginning of death was the birth of thought.”

“According to the secret doctrine, there is a fundamental opposition between life and thought. The life processes in humans - digestion, respiration, and the processes of growing, for example - are largely unconscious. The conscious, thoughtful capacity of humans is only made possible by a partial suppression of these life processes. The human organism ‘steals’ forces which in animals are used for growth and biological structuring, and channels them to create the conditions necessary for thought. It is said that this is one of the reason why humans are, comparatively, sickly animals”

“Human thought is a deadly process, restricting both growth and longevity.”

“The world of cut stone, carved wood, of royal robes and flesh and blood as ‘Outworld’. He intended to be a bit disparaging. He knew that the inner world, accessible to the Third Eye, is the real one, and in the midst of the bloody, painful, death-drenched world in which the followers of Osiris now found themselves, this is what they clung on to.”

-The Secret History of the World

“Without the presence of the greater gods to keep them down, the crab-like progeny of Saturn that had been imprisoned in underground caves, began to creep up into the daylight again, infesting the surface of the earth and preying on humankind. Sea monsters leapt onto the shore to drag off members of a tribe that strayed too close. Giants carried off cattle and sometimes preyed on human flesh too.”

“Full-scale wars took place between humans and armies of other creatures, stragglers from the previous epoch.”

“...hard on the heels of the possibility of death had come the possibility of killing, of murder. Cut us and we would bleed. Cut us hard or often enough and we would die. Some humans began to delight in this. The Book of Enoch describes how the surface of the earth became covered with warring armies, and saying that ‘human flesh itself had become perverse.’”
