DIMENSIONS / DEGREES
Within the teachings of the ancient mystery schools, one of the most important founding teachings, is a system detailing a sequence of DIMENSIONS or DEGREES
A system which is directly relative to the founding processes of all creation and the formation of all the various torus, spheres, or cells within the physical world
Which also aligns to the very numbers we use to quantify our understanding of the world, and the hidden deeper original “sequential” meaning of the symbols we use for those numbers
Which by such, also defines and quantifies our very ability to consciously perceive and actively reflect “mind” within such a world
A precise, incrementally expanding sequence, which is directly relative to the expansion of the physical universe. Which we call NUMBERS
Which is followed by the counter, contracting algorithmic sequence, which is directly relative to the increasing complexity of aggregate matter and life, that we call LETTERS
Within my Illuminated mystery school tradition, we refer to these sequences as:
THE PRIMARY SEQUENCE – NUMBERS
THE SECONDARY SEQUENCE – LETTERS
The Freemasons have their own versions of the ancient degree system, which seems on many levels to have comparable meaning to the understanding of my own particular order and tradition. To the point where it seems highly likely they originated from a common source
I say “seems” because though the Sinai tradition and Freemasonry seem to have a common source on many things, I should make it clear that I am not a Freemason, and therefore, I am speaking only from the perspective of my own tradition and understanding
Many of you would have seen me detail the deeper meaning of these symbols and sequence before. Including how it aligns to the symbol commonly referred to as THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE
The purpose of this thread, is to share how the primary sequence is illustrated within LEONARDO DA VINCI'S PAINTING - THE LAST SUPPER
To begin with, I will give you the dimensions/degrees as they are known and taught within my tradition
THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE
1ST SPHERE
1. INTERNAL
2. EXTERNAL
3. DIRECTION
TRIANGLE
4. WIDTH
5. DEPTH
6. HEIGHT
SQUARE
7. FORWARDS (EXPAND)
8. BACKWARDS (CONTRACT)
9. LEFT (TURN INTO)
10. RIGHT (TURN OUT FROM)
2ND SPHERE
11. INSIDE
12. OUTSIDE
13. IN-BETWEEN
