Symbols and the Question of Unity

Description

Thea originally wrote the articles in Part One of Symbols and the Question of Unity, on Symbol, Number and the Cosmic Harmonies for Mother India, a monthly review of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram while living with The Mother in the Ashram in Pondicherry, in 1973 and 74.

The updated, recently published 2^nd edition, also contains twelve major articles she wrote much later for her students living around the world, from the Centre she established in the Palani Hills of South India. They focus on topics which form Thea’s Indocentric Cosmology: Part Two -The Tropical Zodiac; Part Three, a Calendar that Unifies, and Part Four, Toward a Consciousness of Unity, Essays on The Gnostic Circle.

The Dot, or Point . . . represents the absorption of the All, of Creation, into its Origin. The Point is therefore the Origin. It is material creation sucked back into the Source, a dissolving of the manifestation into the ocean of its Origin. The Dot is thus equal to the Circle. It is the Circle, just as each degree or dot of the Circle represents the entire Circle, and consequently the Dot contains all and any possibility of manifestation of creation.’ (Basics of Symbols, the Language of Unity, pp. 73-74)
