BIBLE VERSES

KURSI, THE "FOOTSTOOL BELOW THE THRONE "

A symbol of the buddhic plane below the plane of atma (Arsh).

“After a while God looked again upon the Light, and from its perspiration He created the corporeal world. The first thing that arose was the Arsh, the Throne of God.' Beneath the Arsh, and of its light, God created another wondrous thing, which is called the Kursi, and may be conceived as the Footstool below the 'Throne (Ottoman Sufi Genesis). - E. J. W. GIBB, Ottoman Poetry, Vol. I. p. 35.

From the Divine Life manifesting (perspiring) there appeared the planes of nature. The first was the highest,— the atmic plane, and this produced the second, the buddhic plane.
