The Kingdom Before the Wasteland
Book I culminates in the original order: Reality unified without the destruction of difference, creation as meaningful expression, and the human being in right relation to its Source.
The Goodness of Creation
Divine fullness is not diminished by manifestation. Light, form, number, mind, relation, and beauty can be contemplated as expressions of goodness.
Original Conditions
Unity without uniformity.
Difference without rivalry.
Freedom without self-exile.
Power without domination.
Imagination without fantasy of separate authorship.
Kingship without tyranny.
Love without possessiveness.
The Temple of Reality
The worlds, Tree, letters, number, elements, and cosmic orders form one harmonious Temple. Sacred geometry and Tarot offer the Royal Art maps for contemplating this order.
The Human as Royal Priest
The primordial human receives rather than seizes the Crown, serves rather than exploits, names truthfully, and makes creatively in conscious relation to the Whole.
Rest
The Sabbath is the crowning symbol of completion. Divine rest is not fatigue; it is the delight of Creation's wholeness.
The Great Symmetry
Book I: original Sabbath and ordered Kingdom.
Book II: restless separation and exile.
Book III: memory dispersed among civilizations.
Book IV: covenant and sacred remembrance.
Book V: Christic reconciliation.
Later Books: restoration of the royal capacities.
Book XII: Revelation and the restored Kingdom.
The Last Image
The Creator rests. The cosmos is ordered. The Kingdom is whole. The next Book begins with the mystery of how such a Reality can appear to be lost.
