Page 29 - GALIET DOOMSDAY AND DANTE´S PROPHECY 515: Dante IV

Pentad, he envisioned Christ’s humble cloth, Christ, the Lion-Hound and Christianity’s cross.
Of Pentads and Sextads.
Cross of Christ and of the crucified souls. In the Fifth Sphere of Heaven’s Mars, God’s warriors 3⁄4 astral sparks 3⁄4 dance and form the cross of the Crucified. Lyric, yet obscure words from Cacciaguda to Dante flow, and sudden illuminations form:
“you think your thoughts flow into mine through him who is the First as from the number one
will radiate the five and six if one is known”
Cacciaguda to Dante Par. XV: 55-63.
God, the One, prime mover of the spheres, αρχη, once known, is the effulgent light whose splendour 3⁄4 intellectual light 3⁄4 will be a raying of number five and six to come. Numbers whose phosphorescent ideas or concepts exemplify Christ. Pentad as a heavenly harvest, a cosmic process, a qualifying of Matter that separates and sorts matter for posterity. Sextad as the period in the creative process in which matter is prepared as triplicity: three qualities, colours or tones. Just as three qualities of matter exist so there are three aspects of God or Spirit reflected in the Trinity.103 Without this five-ing heavenly harvesting process, neither Matter nor Trinity could have ever existed. It is God’s creative power, which radiates the harvest manifesting as the Word or Logos, the Christ. To radiate five from the one is for God, effulgent light, to radiate Christ with living light.104 Christ whose sublime105 essence endures in the 5th heaven’s image of a starry cross. Figurative four-pointed cross whose fifth centre of centres is the ‘quinta essentia’ of the alchemist’s cross, perduring symbol of Christ’s five wounds to save humanity from its five senses.106

105 Others appear to have been 3,4,7 and nine. The Black Book of Solomon prescribes that the magic circle should be 9 feet in diameter, within which 4 pentacles must be drawn (Grillot De Givry, op.cit., 104). 16th century Agrippa, influenced by Cabbala, also suggests the figure of the cross, because it “has a great correspondence with the most potent numbers 5,7,9” and “is also the most right figure of all, containing four right angles.” Occult Philosophy, II, 23.
