BIBLE VERSES

AEON

A symbol of the Divine primordial Unity, the manifesting Spirit emanating from the Absolute. The primal Monad of Life.

"Eon, moreover, is God's image; Cosmos is Eon's; the Sun (is the image) of Cosmos; and Man the image of the Sun." - Corpus Hermeticum, XI.

Divine Unity, the manifesting Spirit or Monad of Life, is the projection of God; the Archetypal Form-universe, or Monad of Form, is the projection of Divine Unity; the Individuality is the projection of the Archetypal Form-life; and the Personality is the projection of the Individuality.

"The Lord of the Eternity (the AEon) is the first God, the second is Cosmos; man is the third" (The Perfect Sermon). - G. R. S. Mead, T. G. Hermes, Vol. II. p. 325.

The Higher Self, the Divine Life of the manvantara, is the First Being produced by the Absolute; the Second Being is the Archetypal universe; the human Soul is the Third.
