17.IN THE HEXAGRAM THERE IS UNITY OF DUALITY

The Complexity
of Operating Influences
In the middle of the two overlapping Triangles emerges a Hexagon. The
Triangles outside are projected inwards because of the principle of
reflection. This is a projection of the absolute, of the cosmic Being onto
the relative differentiation within the Hexagon.
The Hexagon consists of two sets of six lines of relationship that signifies
harmony between the light and dark Triangles. The external cosmic lines do
not touch each other, but those within the Hexagon form a unity of
relationships together.
A Triangle, by its nature, causes differentiation and this causes a mutual
approach in the six Triangles of the Hexagon. Out of this two different
combinations result, according either to the principle of unity, or of
duality.
The principle of unity: in this case the physical forms, which are
projections of the cosmic ones, draw in mutual harmony to the centre and
dissolve into the primal ONE.
The principle of duality: in this case two pairs of dark and light Triangles
emerge, which together strive to unite.
Cosmic Influences Shown Geometrically
Hereby the astrological archetypes can be taken into consideration in the
order to differentiate between the pairs.
In this manner the pair Venus and Mars suggests male and female, love and
hate, art and work etc. The pair, Moon and Saturn, suggests youth and old
age, birth and death, abundance and want, etc. Mercury and Jupiter bring the
aspects of intellect and wisdom, detail and totality, small and large etc.
The inner structure of the Hexagram shows the world in its diversity. The
polarities are projections of the eternal, metaphysical and archetypal
values of the two primal Triangles that represent the level of Being. Those
Triangles which are formed outside the inner Hexagon suggest: the Fire
Triangle - in the apex; Light, in the right corner; Love, and in the left
corner; Consciousness. The Water Triangle – at the lower point; Life and
Fertility, in the right corner; Agape and Beauty, in the left corner; Truth
and Transformation.
In the middle of the Hexagon, as mutated, a CUBE emerges. It is recognisable
as a three-dimensional perspective of the Hexahedron.
