RETROSPECT. 



208. The Triplicity of the primary act in the universe 

 has now been completely demonstrated. The first mani- 

 festation of God is monas ; to this corresponds Gravity, 

 Either, darkness, the cold of chaos. The second mani- 

 festation of God is the dyas; to this corresponds the 

 aether in a state of tension, the Light. The third mani- 

 festation of God is the trias ; to this corresponds the 

 want of form, Heat. God being in himself is Gravity; 

 acting, self-emergent, Light ; loth together, or returning 

 into himself, Heat. These are the three Primals in the 

 world, and equal to the three which were prior to the 

 world. They are the manifested triunity = Fire.
