PILLARS, FOUR, OF SHU

A symbol of the four planes of manifestation below atma, produced by the Divine Will (Shu).

"Seb, the earth, and Nut, the sky. These deities were supposed to unite every evening, and to remain embraced until the morning, when the god Shu separated them, and set the goddess of the sky upon his four pillars until the evening." — BUDGE, Egyptian Ideas, p. 94.

Time (Seb) and Space (Nut) during the cycle of pralaya — the indrawal of the Divine Life — are said to unite, or become one and unmanifest, until the opening of the next manvantara, when the Life again outpours, and the Divine Will (Shu) differentiates Time from Space, and by means of the creation of the four planes of matter establishes manifestation until the next period of withdrawal of the tide of Life.
