These three expressions of the divine Life may be regarded as expressing the triple mode of manifestation. First, the objective or tangible universe; second, the subjective worlds or form; and thirdly, the spiritual aspect which is to be found at the heart of all.8 Footnote 8: The Primordial is the Ray and the direct emanation of the Sacred Four. (S. D., I, 115, 116) The Sacred Four are: Unity (Father - Mahadeva - 1st Logos - Will - Spirit). Duality (Son - Vishnu - 2nd Logos - Love-Wisdom). Trinity (Mother - Brahma - 3rd Logos - Intelligent activity). Sacred Four (The united manifestation of the tree - Macrocosm). The manifested Quaternary and the seven Builders proceed from the Mother (S.D., I, 402) The seven Builders are the Manasaputras, the Mind-born sons of Brahma, the third aspect. (S. D., III, 540) They come into manifestation to develop the second aspect. (S. D., I., 108) Their method is objectivity The reawakened Energies sprang into space. They are the veiled synthesis (S. D., I, 362) They are the totality of manifestation (S. D., I, 470) They are precosmic (S. D., I, 152, 470)
