THE WORLD EGG

Our Race has materialized its ideal in a Symbol, whose meaning is the following:

From Non-Being, or Illusion, or Maya, stands out an immense Being, whose whiteness shines upon the black background of Maya. From this Being, immeasurable and untranslatable, we see only an infinitesimal part. From this part differentiates a point. For our relative point of view, we can take this differentiation as the Center of the Supreme Being.

This point, Laya, first Emanation of Pralaya, is our Logos. From Him we have Life, from Him emanates the Power by virtue of which this Life continues.

When this Logos differentiates completely from the Unknowable, there can be seen in its Center another differentiation, another point. From this point radiate two Rays. One, that of the Right of the Logos, is the firstborn, the Positive Ray. The other, that of the Left of the Logos, is the second born, the Negative Ray.

These are two opposing Forces in activity, which give birth to another, to that third differentiation, which has the objective of balancing these two Forces - the third differentiation known by the name of Holy Spirit. These two Forces are those which will originate with their struggles the denser and denser state, which we call Matter or Crystallized Spirit.

The Ray of the Right, by reason of its active polarization, is the Agent of Involution or Descent of Divinity to densification. The Ray of the Left, by reason of its negative polarization, is the Agent of Ascent or return of the Densified Spirit toward the more and more ethereal state.

The Ray of the Right tends to the multiplicity of manifestations of the Supreme Being, through its Mystic Son, the Logos. The Ray of the Left tends to the progressive destruction of these Forms of divine manifestation, by absorption, that is, the return to Unity with the Father, always through its Mystic Son, the Logos.

The Ray of the Right is, therefore, the Creative Agent by delegation of its Father. The Ray of the Left is the Destroying Agent, and the Ray of the Center is the Balancing or Conservative Agent.

This Trimurti or Trinity represents, then, three faces of the Father: Will, Wisdom, and Activity.

This Trimurti in action gives origin to seven differentiations or Emanations, which are the Agents of propagation of the Energies inherent to each Trinitarian modality. We know these Seven Agents under the name of the 7 Ministers before the Throne, the 7 Rishis... the 7 Planetary Genii, the 7 Archangels, etc.

We know these Seven Agents under the name of the 7 Ministers before the Throne, the 7 Rishis... the 7 Planetary Genii, the 7 Archangels, etc.

The state of densification of these 7 Emanations of the Logos has given origin to Seven Bodies, which we know as planets, and which are Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury. But in the period of action that corresponds to the fourth Round, to which we belong, the 7 main Emanations that affect us are Saturn, Mars, Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus.

The superior emanations of Uranus and Vulcan affect very few individualities and even fewer are affected by Neptune.

Mercury is the Messenger of the Gods or Planetary Genii...

Neptune is the Messenger of the Logos and its vibrations are directed to those who more especially dedicate themselves to Astronomy and Astrology.

Our Race is born in an epoch in which planetary influences are modified. We receive such influences in the following modalities:

SATURN - Sends us its highest and purest intellectual vibrations. Its impressions on our brain will allow us to reach the highest summits of Science. It will influence, above all, the last families of the Fifth Sub-Race and the Seventh Aryan Sub-Race.

MARS - Depolarizing, it no longer affects us, but still affects the other preceding races.

THE MOON - Sends us its good irradiations and serves as vehicle to the Energies of the fourth Ray and of F.B. regarding the fourth Cosmic Night.

JUPITER - Its activity is increasing in intensity and will benefit our Race in nobility and happiness.

MERCURY - Is polarizing, and at the same time that it will attract the influences of the other planets, it will benefit us with its own influence, which has as characteristic the separativity of spirit from matter, that is, molecular dissolution. It is, therefore, the agent of the Ray of the Right, as Mars was in the past the agent of the Ray of the Left.

VENUS - Will benefit us with its high emotional vibrations. See the interpretation of the horoscope regarding the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.

URANUS - For us, Olympics, signifies the highest expression of spirituality. Its influence manifests in devotees and mystics. The good aspects of Uranus with Venus and with Jupiter will give unexpected results in our Race. However, opposition with Mars awaits us.

NEPTUNE - The Logos develop according to the Laws of Universal Harmony and the balance between systems or universes is assured by Messengers of the Holy Spirit. Within our World or Cosmos this messenger is Mercury. Between Systems, these regulatory levers are represented by more important planets. Neptune performs this high office and, therefore, its influences are very difficult to understand, bringing us characteristics of systems neighboring ours, but not always reachable by our mentalities.

Between Systems, these regulatory levers are represented by more important planets. Neptune performs this high office and, therefore, its influences are very difficult to understand, bringing us characteristics of systems neighboring ours, but not always reachable by our mentalities.

We can say that its influences are as elevated as those of Uranus or Venus, and of the same nature as those of Mercury, but with the difference that Mercury is a Lesser God while Neptune is a Greater God.

Regarding us, Olympics, Neptune is in semi-sextile with the Moon, in quadrature with the Ascendant and in trine with Venus and Jupiter. Its elevated influences, transported to our Universe and combined with the noble character of Jupiter and the beauty of Venus, will be of important significance and will contribute this strange and unknown note that will characterize our children.

In the Mystic Triangle are seen the three fundamental aspects of Being in the way of manifestation together with the four minor aspects, which are combinations of the three previous ones, give us the origin of the 7 Rays. Each Ray subdivides into other 7 Rays, and upon reaching the densification necessary for the manifestation of Life, the Planetary Body is formed, according to the characteristics of the Ray.

From the three minor Lakes, or Trimurti, until reaching the Bodies of the other Planets, the Emanation or Ray traverses seven planes, in each of which it differentiates 7 times more.

Our Globe finds itself, then, in fourth place, under the direct influence of the fourth Ray... This fourth Ray emanates from the Center, where the Seven Principles are combined and as each world is made in the Image of the Father, we have enclosed in us these seven principles. The seven colors and their subdivisions must be found in the aura of each individuality... predominating one more than another, according to temperament, or harmonizing in perfect balance in superior natures.

In the terrestrial globe are seen North and South America, where the Sixth Olympic Aryan Sub-Race and the Sixth Olympic Root Race are to be born. Also seen is the Sixth or Olympic Continent, which begins to emerge from the bottom of the Pacific.

This signifies that we have accepted the renunciation of the Old World, to consecrate ourselves to the foundation of the new, in the Sixth Aryan Sub-Race and, if we reach the goal, to concur for the foundation of the Sixth Root-Race.

The six-pointed Star, which surrounds the new Continent, is the Star of Christ, which will succeed the five-pointed Star. The five-pointed Star represents the Man of concrete mind, the Man of the Fifth Root-Race. The six-pointed Star represents the Man with abstract mind, the Man of the Sixth Race.

In Kabbalah the 6 represents Love and Altruism and also represents the Pacific or Olympic Continent.

The five-pointed Star represents the Man of concrete mind, the Man of the Fifth Root-Race. The six-pointed Star represents the Man with abstract mind, the Man of the Sixth Race.

In Kabbalah the 6 represents Love and Altruism and also represents the Pacific or Olympic Continent.

Finally, the whole of our Universe is represented by a fecundated Egg, with all the potentialities of life. Surrounding the shell, the God Neptune navigating around our Cosmic World, represents the bonds that unite the universes and the vehicle through which we can exit outside our Cosmos, to acquire new knowledge. It represents, therefore, the Cosmic Future, as Mercury represents the terrestrial Future.

Commentary

This chapter presents Cedaior's cosmological vision through the symbol of the World Egg, a universal archetype found in many creation myths. The text synthesizes Hindu cosmology (Pralaya, Laya, Trimurti), Theosophical concepts (Root Races, Rounds), Kabbalistic symbolism, and Christian mysticism into a unified teaching about the emergence of the Sixth Root Race.

The planetary influences described reflect astrological esotericism common in early 20th-century occult movements, while the geographical focus on the Americas as the birthplace of the new race aligns with Theosophical prophecies about human evolution. The six-pointed star (Star of David) representing the Sixth Race suggests the integration of opposites and the development of abstract mind, moving beyond the five-pointed star (pentagram) of concrete mental development.

This worldview positions the Olympic Race as the vanguard of humanity's spiritual evolution, destined to manifest in the Pacific region with California and the Americas serving as evolutionary focal points for the new consciousness.
