GEOMETRY 

Geometry and symbolism are the means whereby all spiritual facts are expressed, and by a knowledge of which they are to be interpreted.

"Thus the King took away the one and protected the seven; he abandoned the seven and kept the five; he obtained the set of three and learned the set of three; he understood the two and two." - Buddha-Karita, abandoned the Bk. II. 41.

Thus the One manifested as seven planes and their activities. The two highest, or innermost, remain obscuration; the five are manifest. The set of three is the triad which is expressed in the triple nature of the manifested soul, that is, ATMA, buddhi, and higher-manas, which triad is reflected below as physical, astral, and lower-manas. The two stand for the desire-nature and the reason-nature, both of which must be experienced and eventually abandoned.
