A NOTE ON GENESIS
the Great God, and the Material Universe sinketh into
Infinity.
The first Number, then, is ONE; emblem of the All-Father;
the Unmanifest Mind behind all Manifestation: the First
Mind. Multiply by It any other Number—for the Multiplica-
tion of the Numbers is a Generation, as is the Multiplication
of Men and Gods—and behold! the Resultant is a replica
of the Number taken. So is One the All-Father, the All-
begetter—generating and producing all.
The next step is the division into TWO. Thus was
manifested the Great Dual Power of Nature. As above, so
below. And thus we find that the simple division into two
is the method of multiplication of the Amceba, the lowest,
simplest, and most absolute form of physical life that we
know.
The Dual Power of Nature is the Great Mother of the
Worlds.
Again, to draw an analogy from the Material World,
consider the Moon, our Mother. Behold in her the Typic
representative of the Powers of the Two. Light and Dark-
ness, Flux and Reflux, Ebb and Flow—these are her
manifested Powers in Nature—where also she binds the
Great Waters to her Will.
Now in the Vetziratic Attribution is the second number,
Beth (ze, a House), an Abode, the Dwelling of the Holy
One, shown to be equivalent to the Sphere of Kokab and his
lords. And the symbolic weapon of ¥ is the Caduceus, whose
Twin Serpents show again the Dualistic Power. (/Vote.—
