There are the three godly creative powers in the universe, the three Logoi: In Kabbalah they are called the Father, Mother and Son and in Christianity they are called Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Hindu terminology they are called Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. It’s different terminology, but the underlying reality is the same.

The Father, Mother and Son symbology describes the creative type in relation to the creation and higher Logoi. The Mother is of course the Creator of humankind. The Father gives the idea, the Mother gives life and the Son gives form. The Trinity defines their role in the creation.
The First Logos creates out of nothing, creates Consciousness. The Second Logos creates new Life out of the existing and guides the living. The Third Logos combines the created, the building blocks, the clockwork of the microcosmos.
All religious symbols around the world is about these three Logoi.

The Second Logos works from within, it is the archetype of the created, it is the being in whose steps we try to follow. It is who we know as the Word, and it means that it is the most powerful being in the creation, the other two are the helpers of the Second Logos. The First Logos works from above, from the spirit and super conscious. The Third Logos works from below, from the body and the subconscious.
In India we have the word OUM,ॐ, also known as Amen.
We find the symbols for the Three Logoi in Royal Regalia too.
Royal Regalia from Europa, Egypt and Japan.
The royal regalia from Japan represent the three primary virtues: valor (the sword), wisdom (the mirror), and benevolence (the jewel).
The Egyptian sceptre or staff is one of the most ancient symbols of authority. The words "nobleman" and "official" both includes the hieroglyph of a staff, so the staff represent authority and power. This is the Second Logos. The three parted Flail is the Third Logos, the god of Karma.
In Europe we have the Apple, the Scepter and the Mantle. We find them also in Joanne Rowlings symbol "The Deathly Hallows":
Rudolf Steiner has written this text on the three Logoi, but I must admit I didn’t understand the text before I had worked it out for myself. Its very short and he doesn’t give any details or examples, but I think it’s one of the deepest secrets he has hidden here for us to find. I think it’s about time it becomes known.
The First Logoi created the physical world, the Second Logos filled it with life and the Third Logos manages the clockwork behind the physical world.
The Logos who is the soul of the Earth is often depicted in a cave. The life and death of Christ changed the soul of the Earth. Drinking me, eating me, walking on me. In the first half of Earth the Second Logos was the soul of the Earth while the First Logos was the Manu. The Second Logos was coming out of the cave to become the new Manu, Lazarus was becoming John. The Third Logos was as Jesus entering the cave, entering the Earth, becoming the Soul of Earth, the Holy Spirit.
The high spiritual powers of the Logoi work on Earth:
High spiritual
beings whom we call masters stream down to us.
We should realize that it’s
mainly they who guide us and are near to us in meditation.
We should also
know that they walk on earth incarnated in a physical body.

See The Logoi’s Creating in the Physical world and the Fibonacci Sequence
From I was a young and hopeful mathematician I have been fascinated by the Golden mean and the Fibonacci Series, with its connection to plants and animals, but I lacked a good explanation for why it was found in all of nature, in all of the universe.
Plato said that the Golden Mean, Phi, is key to the universe. It has puzzled me over time as the interesting and beautiful structures following the Fibonacci numbers in nature aren’t explanation enough, there has to be a spiritual background. If the Golden Mean is the key, the Golden Triangle is the door.

See The Three Logoi in the Theosophical tradition
From the Theosophical tradition:
First Logos is the “potentiality” of the Universe, whilst the Second Logos is the “potency” of the Universe. The Second emanates from the First. Being only latent, potential, and unmanifested, the First Logos is very close to the Absolute and indeed is Its direct radiation.
The Second Logos is the Manifested Logos. In and of itself it is actually only “the semi-manifested” for it manifests through and as the Third Logos.
The Third Logos is referred to variously as the Seven Rays [Planets], the Seven Creative Powers, or the Seven Logoi. The Second Logos contains in itself the Third Logos and manifests through and as this Third Logos...
If we call the First Logos latent potentiality and the Second differentiated consciousness, we can refer to the Third as the ultimate differentiation of the Second, in the form of individualised cosmic forces. From them “will proceed the innumerable series of Hierarchies.”
The main difference between Steiner and Blavatsky is that Steiner saw these descriptions as describing actual beings and hierarchies where Blavatsky saw them as abstractions. Vishnu is an example of the Second Logos, Shiva an example of the Third Logos and Brahma an example of the First Logos. Here it’s interesting to see that Brahma, First Logos, is both connected to the lowest world and the highest world, and that he really isn’t very active in the development of Earth. Krishna, who are the same as Vishnu, are the ‘I’ of the Earth, the center of the Seven Rays, the Heart Chakra of man, he is the main consciousness in the Earth development.
See The Three Logoi and the Mayan.
I found these symbols in my research on the Three Logoi:
I found out they came from the research of Augustus Le Plongeon (1825-1906) on the Mayans.
See The Taoist Triad and the Three Logoi
The Taoist tradition is not easy to understand for a western esoteric. It's a philosophy, not a religion, it's not about believing, it's about describing the reality, understanding the reality. Every detail has meaning.
All religious and esoteric traditions, philosophies and sciences try to describe the same world, and my goal was to find the shared pattern below all these. But, it’s not necessarily easy to find these patterns, the vocabularies are usually very different. The logic in Taoism seemed to be very different from the European tradition, where we had seven as key value they had eight, why?
Especially I Ching was fascinating with their trigrams and hexagrams. It was a very stringent logical system, although the reasons was elusive. It was very different from anything else in the rest of the world. The big question was how it had been created and what the logic behind them was. Was it possible to connect it with European or Indian esotericism, with Kabbalah or astrology?
Some years ago i found out why we used seven and they used eight, it was quite easy when I first found out: Outside China we count the seven inner planetary bodies except Earth, the Chinese includes the Earth. Here we have the eight bodies to the left and the seven bodied projection to the right, where the Sun and Earth are projected into the same point.

See The Manichean Stream, Freemasonry, Templars and the Third Logos
I have had some problems with Manes and the Manichean stream, I had difficulties connecting it to the Rosicrucian stream or for them to coexist. I understood the incarnations of the Rosicrucian stream, but the incarnation of Manes didn’t fit in. The knowledge of the Three Logoi changes that, the puzzle pieces began finding each other. There were three streams not just one.
This text builds on a text Steiner have written on the Manichean stream in connection with the Freemasons and Templars, "The Temple Legend Lecture Six." The connection with the Third Logos is illuminating, it explains the more physical aspects compared to the Rosicrucian stream. My comments are in italics.
"From the Kingdom of Light a spark is sent into the Kingdom of Darkness in order that through itself the Darkness may be redeemed, in order that Evil may be overcome through [caring] gentleness."

See The Symbology and Meaning of AUM
In the beginning was the word!
The Word was ॐ, OM, AUM or Amen, the physical world is the result of the resonance of the sound, when it in the beginning was recited.
AUM represents Brahman-Atman, and the three roots of the syllable are A + U + M.
The sound is the body of the soul, and it manifests in three, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the three Logoi. The universe is the resonance of the word, a standing wave. The resonance is created by the First Logos, Brahma, and the Third Logos, Shiva. The Second Logos, Vishnu, is the Equilibrium, it gives content and form to the resonance of First and Third Logos.
See The Symbology and Meaning of AUM
The Sikh symbol, Kanda, gets its name from the unique double-edged sword, known as Kanda, that stands in the center. It symbolizes the divine power, the Word or Second Logos, that controls life and death and dictates the destiny of all creation. Its right edge stands for authority and freedom which are governed by spiritual and moral values. The left edge stands for divine justice that chastises and penalizes Evil. In totality, the sword symbolizes the cutting of truth from falsehood.
The circle, or Chakra, surrounding the Kanda is a metaphor for the Eternal God, the First Logos. Being without any beginning or end, it symbolizes the absoluteness, perfection, and timelessness of the Almighty. It is representative of unity, oneness, morality, and humanity. The circle split in two by the sword is also a symbol for the Second Logos.
The two single-edged swords, Kirpan, that flank the double-edged sword are symbolic of the two concepts of Spiritual and Temporal authority. The sword on the left is Piri, representing spiritual sovereignty, the emanation of the Third Logos on the Earth, while the one on the right is Miri, symbolizing political sovereignty, the emanation of the First Logos on the Earth. The Punjabi word kirpan has two roots: kirpa, meaning "mercy", "grace", "compassion" or "kindness"; and aanaa, meaning "honor", "grace" or "dignity".
The two single edged swords, Kirpan, maintains a balance around the double-edged sword, Kanda. These three swords is the symbol for the Third Logos, like the triskele of Shiva.
See Sophia Created in the Beginning
Sophia exists in all creation myths of Earth, directly or indirectly. The terminology or gender may vary, but the story is the same. Even within the Gnostic traditions the terminology vary wildly, and they are colored from the various religious traditions they come from.
I have here tried to show the story of Sophia in connection with other creation stories, and I have been surprised how much they are alike and how sophisticated they are.
Keywords: Isis, Kronos, Goethe and the Mothers, the Three Fates - the Moirai and the Norns, the Ariadne Thread, Archangel Michael, Marduk, Yaldabaoth, Sophia in Hindu Mythology, Vāc the Word, Saraswati - Goddess of wisdom, Brahma, the Supreme Being of Light, Vishnu, Shakti, Mahakal(i) and Atman.
Sophia existed in the beginning, from before Chaos. When the Beginning is mentioned in religious or esoteric texts it's always about beings known as the Beginnings, Æons, or Spirits of Time and Personality.
With Sophia started time and and a new creation. All new creation starts with the First Logos, Adam or Brahma/Atma is created within time. Through the seven æons Atma is developed to become Atman.
The dominion of Sophia is what we call soul, the soul contain our personality and understanding of time.
She came out of Pistis (faith) in the form of primeval light. Immediately her will manifested itself as a likeness of heaven, with an unimaginable magnitude.
Together with Pistis, she brought a great power into being in the first æon, who we know as the Father, Adam, Osiris or Brahma, which became like a veil between the immortals and those who came into being after them.
In the second æon the Second Logos, Eve/Isis who are Buddhi, is created and Sophia emanates down into her through the Father, the First Logos or Athena springs out of the head of Zeus.
Cain, her masculine side, separates out of Sophia and descends down and his I AM permeates the etheric world, what should be transformed to Buddhi.
In the third æon the Third Logos, Abel who are Manas, is created. Abel enters the physical world through Seth, to develop it to be ready to incorporate the soul, to incorporate Sophia.
This way to show the descent down into the material is very like the way Taoism shows the creation.
The trigrams are build from below, where the lowest line represents the First Logos, the middle line the Second Logos and the top line the Third Logos. Here a representation of the development of the trigrams, and related to western symbolism.

Steiner has described many of the most important secrets around the Trinity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of Mark:
It must be spoken of in this way if we are to describe it in the sense of the Mark Gospel, for most remarkable things are described in it, and especially what is presented as having taken place within the soul of Christ Jesus Himself. ~Steiner
We all have an idea about who Jesus was, but what was his significant role in Earth development? The Holy Spirit is maybe the least understood mystery of all, but it is a mystery worth solving.
Steiner wrote the story around the two Jesus children, but what is the deeper reason behind it? Steiner also wrote that the etheric body of Zarathustra became part of Moses, his astral body became part of Hermes, and his 'I' became part of Jesus, but I think most have problems using the knowledge, what did Steiner want to tell with the information? Who was Zarathustra?
I will here show a number of small texts by Steiner, and a few others, on these questions.
See The Soul as Truth, Beauty and Love
This is an extract of Rudolf Steiner’s lecture on Truth, Beauty and Goodness, and it’s an alternate way to look at the soul. And it's the expression of the Three Logoi.
From the heading: “Rudolf Steiner stated that the primary function of education is to exercise the students’ faculties of thinking, feeling and willing. These basic human qualities manifest in civilization as the “eternal verities” of truth, beauty and goodness, and these in turn in science, art and religion.”

From Rudolf Steiner GA 94.80
Die Apostelgeschichte erwähnt den Dionysius, der ein eingeweihter Schüler des Paulus war und ein esoterisches Christentum lehrte. Später hat Johannes Scotus Erigena am Hofe Karls des Kahlen noch im 9. Jahrhundert ein esoterisches Christentum begründet. Dieses ist dann nach und nach durch das Dogma verdeckt worden. Dringt man aber in den Devachan ein, so sieht man die Beschreibung, die Dionysius Areopagita davon gegeben hat, bestätigt.
From Johannes Scotus Eriugena: "On the Division of Nature"
"Theologians have been set up and delivered the creeds, so that we may believe in the heart and confess with the mouth that divine goodness consists of three constituents of a single entity.
And this has not happened without consideration of psychic knowledge and rational research. Namely, when enlightened by the divine Spirit, they contemplate the One Ineffable All-Cause and the One Simple and Indivisible Starting Point, they have called this Unity.
By continuing to look at unity itself, not in empty isolation, but in wonderfully fertile multiplicity, they have thought of three constituents of unity: one non-generated, one begotten and one outgoing.
The behavior of the non-generated substance to the begotten called her father; the behavior of the begotten substance to the non·begolten they called son: the behavior of forthcoming permanence to the unkilled and begotten called her Holy Spirit."
From Jacob Böhme, Aurora
80. Now when we speak or write of the three Persons in the Deity, you must not conceive that therefore there are three Gods, each reigning and ruling by himself, like temporal kings on the earth.
81. No: such a substance and being is not in God; for the divine being consisteth in power, and not in body or flesh.
82. The Father is the whole divine power, whence all creatures have proceeded, and hath been always, from eternity: He hath neither beginning nor end.
83. The Son is in the Father, being the Father's Heart or light, and the Father generateth the Son continually, from eternity to eternity; and the Son's power and splendour shine back again in the whole Father, as the sun doth in the whole world.
84. The Son is also another Person than the Father, but not externally, without or severed from the Father, nor is he any other God than the Father is; his power, splendour, and omnipotence, are no less than the whole Father.
85. The Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son, and is the third selfsubsistingPerson in the Deity. As the elements in this world go forth from the sun and the stars, and are the moving spirit which is in everything in this world,
86. So the Holy Ghost is the moving spirit in the whole Father, and proceedeth or goeth forth from eternity to eternity continually from the Father and the Son, and replenisheth the whole Father; he is nothing less or greater than the Father and the Son; his moving power is in the whole Father.
87. All things in this world are according to the similitude of this Ternary. Ye blind Jews, Turks and Heathen, open wide the eyes of your mind: in your body, and in every natural thing, in men, beasts, fowls and worms, also in wood, stone, leaves and grass, I will shew you the likeness of the Holy Ternary in God.
Objection.
88. Ye say, There is but one being in God, and that God hath no Son.
Answer.
89. Open your eyes, and consider yourselves: Man is made according to the similitude, and out of the power, of God in his Ternary. Behold thy inward man, and then thou wilt see it most plainly and clearly; if thou art not a fool and an irrational beast; therefore observe,
90. In thy heart, in thy veins, and in thy brain, thou hast thy spirit; and all the powers which move in thy heart, in thy veins, and in thy brain, wherein thy life consisteth, signify God the Father.
91. From that power springeth up thy light, so that thou seest, understandest and knowest in the same power what thou art to do; for that light glimmereth in thy whole body; and the whole body moveth in the power and knowledge of the light, which signifieth God the Son; for the body helpeth all the members in the knowledge of the light.
92. For as the Father generateth the Son out of his power, and as the Son shineth back in the whole Father; so in like manner the power of thy heart, of thy veins, and of thy brain generateth a light which shineth in all thy powers in thy whole body. Open the eyes of thy mind, consider it, and you will find it so.
93. Now observe: As from the Father and the Son there goeth forth the Holy Ghost, who is a selfsubsisting Person in the Deity,and moveth in the whole Father, so also out of the powers of thy heart, veins and of thy brain, goeth forth the power which moveth in thy whole body; and out of thy light, in the same power, goeth forth reason, understanding, skill and wisdom to govern the whole body, and to distinguish all whatsoever is externally without the body.
94. And both these are but one, in the government of thy mind, viz. [they are] thy spirit, which [spirit] signifieth God the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost from God ruleth in this spirit in thee, if thou art a child of light, and not a child of darkness.

From The Divine Names IV
8. And the Heavenly Minds are spoken of as moving
(1) in a circular manner, when they are United to the beginningless and endless illuminations of the Beautiful and Good;
(2) straight forward, when they advance to the providential guidance of those beneath them and unerringly accomplish their designs; and
(3) with spiral motion, because, even while providentially guiding their inferiors, they remain immutably in their self~identity, turning unceasingly around the Beautiful and Good whence all identity is sprung.
9.And the Soul hath
(1) a circular movement ~ viz. an introversion from things without and the unified concentration of it's spiritual powers ~ which gives it a kind of fixed revolution, and, turning it from the multiplicity without, draws it together first into itself, and then (after it has reached this unified condition) unites it to those powers which are a Perfect Unity, and thus leads it on unto the Beautiful and Good Which is beyond all things, and is One and is the Same, without beginning or end.
(2) And the soul moves with a spiral motion whenever (according to its capacity) it is enlightened with truths of Divine Knowledge, not in the special unity of it's being but by the process of its discursive reason and by mingled and alternative activities
(3) And it moves straight forward when it does not enter into itself to feel the stirrings of its spiritual unity (for this, as I said, is the circular motion), but goes forth unto the things around it and feels an influence coming even from the outer world, as from a rich abundance of cunning tokens, drawing it unto the simple unity of contemplative acts.
10. These three motions,
and also the similar motions we perceive in this material world and (far anterior to these) the individual permanence, rest and grounding of each Kind have their Efficient, Formal, and Final Cause in the Beautiful and Good; Which is above all rest and motion; through Which all rest and motion come; and from Which, and in Which, and unto Which, and for the sake of Which they are.
For from It and through It are all Being and life of spirit and of soul; and hence in the realm of nature magnitudes both small, co-equal and great; hence all the measured order and the proportions of things, which, by their different harmonies, commingle into wholes made up of co-existent parts; hence this universe, which is both One and Many; the conjunctions of parts together; the unities underlying all multiplicity, and the perfections of the individual wholes; hence Quality, Quantity, Magnitude and Infinitude; hence fusions and differentiations, hence all infinity and all limitation; all boundaries, ranks, transcendences, elements and forms, hence all Being, all Power, all Activity, all Condition, all Perception, all Reason, all Intuition, all Apprehension, all Understanding, All Communion—in a word, all, that is comes from the Beautiful and Good, hath its very existence in the Beautiful and Good, and turns towards the Beautiful and Good.
Yea, all that exists and that comes into being, exists and comes into being because of the Beautiful and Good; and unto this Object all things gaze and by It are moved and are conserved, and for the sake of It, because of It and in It, existeth every originating Principle—be this Exemplar, or be it Final or Efficient or Formal or Material Cause—in a word, all Beginning, all Conservation, and all Ending, or (to sum it up) all things that have being are derived from the Beautiful and Good.
Yea, and all things that have no substantial being super-essentially exist in the Beautiful and Good: this is the transcendent Beginning and the transcendent Goal of the universe.
See Spirits of Form and the Creation of Humanity.
Rudolf Steiner have described the Rosicrucian cosmology as a sequence of seven planetary incarnations of the Earth, where we now are in the middle.
The seals describe the Three Logoi weaving through each other in our reality, to further the development, the creation.

"There is an earthly sun, which is the cause of all heat, and all who are able to see may see the sun; and those who are blind and cannot see him may feel his heat. There is an Eternal Sun, which is the source of all wisdom, and those whose spiritual senses have awakened to life will see that sun and be conscious of His existence; but those who have not attained spiritual Consciousness may yet feel His power by an inner faculty which is called Intuition." ~Paracelsus |
Extract from Rudolf Steiner's "The Influence of Spiritual Beings on Man", Lecture II: The Cosmic Christ and the Etheric Sun.

The masculine, Anthropos, has ascended from the physical where the feminine, Sophia, has descended from Atma. Sophia is the astral and Anthropos is the etheric. Sophia descended into the body of man, and anima and animus have fought to find each other since. The Rosicrucian Alchemical Wedding is the merge of Anthropos and Sophia, creating Anthroposophia. ~Kim Graae Munch |
The Hebrew letters, their form and how they are created, how they are put together to extend its meaning or create new letters, is simply so beautiful and ingenious that it’s nearly unbelievable. The Hebrew letters is an artificial alphabet just as Sanskrit is an artificial language. It reminds in it’s construction of a sublimation of Chinese signs.
The letters and words are archetypal signs, giving a unique strength to describe the esoteric wisdom that only can be understood through the archetypes and not through abstractions.
But we don’t need to understand the Hebrew letters, the archetypal information's is found everywhere. The reason I describe the Three Mother Letters is that they tell the same story as the Gnostic creation story around Sophia, the Christian and the Indian creation stories, and the Mayans, and many others, with a very simple but clear symbology.
The three mother letters is not only the three letters the other letters of the alphabet is formed, but also the primordial powers of the universe who created everything in existence, the Three Logoi, the Trinity.
The Greek Alphabet Code of Simaioforos Theologos:
The consonants are divided in two groups, the celestials and the earthly. This helps us separate, conceptually, the actions and properties of letters.

| Θ | θ, ϑ |
thêta |

Fire – Father – the Paternal Fire | Π (Pi) is a celestial consonant, so its horizontal line refers to the sky-heaven level. The two vertical lines are the energy suppliers and surround all that is “under His protection”. The letter Π, means primarily Father God and secondarily Fire – the first element of Creation. |
| Ρ | ρ |

Consolidation - Firmament of force-radiation-energy | The letter Τ (Tau) as an earthly consonant, its horizontal line refers to the ground level. All the force that governs this letter, acts under the surface of the earth, but because of the concentration of the earthen material, this force is consolidated. |

When children draw the sun, they make a circle with rays (just like the shapes below) Λ, two Iota's:
By the verb «Λέω/leo» (I say, I tell), primarily “speaks” our
Sun and then we, as small suns, emit our own light.
According to the Code,
ΛΕΩ means the (Λ) solar radiation, that (Ε) is expanding, (Ω) upon the planet.
Decoding the word “Σοφία” (Sophia, Wisdom) The word ΣΟΦΙΑ/Wisdom is quite revealing. By the consonants only, we get the idea of the meaning of this word, as Σ means the inside space - internal viewing and Φ is the Light. So the basic idea is that ΣΟΦΙΑ means the Internal Light, that is also applying to the words ΣΟΦΟΣ = the wise (man) and ΣΑΦΕΣ the clear (message).
Decoding the whole word, we get this information:
Σ = inside
Ο = space
Φ = where Light
Ι = is
constantly supplied
Α = by the Primary Force
One word alone, gives more information when we approach it in a philosophic “mood”... A wise man is receiving Wisdom-ΣΟΦΙΑ, so he is not only the one that once have seen the Light inside him, but he is the one that is constantly fulfilled with Light (if not constantly, then he is not wise) and this is stated by a «humble» Ιota. The theological knowledge that springs from this word is, that this Light comes from the Primary Force, as Alpha means. The Primary Force implies the Divine presence.
The presence of the Divine Force, the Spiritual Light and Mind is very often present inside the words. We would dare to say that the words, through letters, constantly praise God's Glory.
What does the word “Ψυχή” (Soul) reveal about its nature. I
shall give you another word to think about, a word that, when I first heard its
decoding, I was astonished by the revelation of these 4 “tiny” letters, that
with the use of the Greek Alphabet Code become “knowledge o f a lifetime”. In
the word ΨΥΧΗ Soul, by Ψ and Χ , we are
informed that Ψ Π Σ ) is the Internal
Fire and Χ are the Earthly bodies. So, the basic idea of the word is that the
substance of Soul is Fire, a Fire “captured” inside a body.
Decoding the whole word
Ψ Π Σ ) = Divine immortal internal Fire (that originates
from the Father)
Υ = concentrated
Χ = in Earthly Body
Η = is revealed
Or
Π Σ Υ Χ Η when we die, there is no
revelation/life
Π Σ Υ Χ as we loose this earthly body of
ours
Π Σ Υ there isn’t any concentration/etheric body
Π Σ as there isn’t any internal space/astral body, so what is
finally left, is only a
Π , the Immortal Fire/I AM (Π =
Fire and Father).
The word Φίλος/friend is also interesting.
According to the
Code, ΦΙΛΟΣ means
(Φ) the light that
(Ι) constantly supplies, through
(Λ) solar radiation, a
(Ο) particular area or body.
Our first Friend is the sun, but also in human relations,
Friend is every person that emits his light towards us, while we ought to do the
same, or else we are not friends.
So we learn from the word itself, the
meaning of Friendship, that indicates the need for reciprocity, in order to keep
a friendship.

History on earth starts with the three Logoi, the creation of the Father, the Son of God and the Son of Man, Adam, Cain and Abel. We know them as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. In this the mother is hidden, we could also write Adam, Eve+Cain and Abel+Seth, because Cain is the masculine side of Eve, he is not a son of Adam, and Abel stayes back awaiting his time, but Seth is the physical representation of Abel.
See Sophia, Created in the Beginning
Adam is created in the Beginning by the Word. He is the mineral being and the transformed mineral, Atma. This is the First Logos. Out of Adam comes Eve, the Second Logos, a projection of Sophia, Buddhi or wisdom.
Eve's masculine side is Cain, the Etheric, who are the Son of God, the archetypal human, in whose footsteps humanity walks. He enters the physical world, are the active creator, the Word, who we also know as Yahve, Yaldebaroth, Vishnu, and many more, who develop life on Earth from the smallest cells to the human body used by Jesus.
Abel is the Descending Force and Cain the Ascending Force. From The Cosmic Christ and the Zodiac - Viśvákarma:
At the entry of the ‘I’ [I AM], the ascending [Anthropos] and the descending [Sophia] forces were in balance [Anthroposophia] and it rests with man to turn the scales in the right direction.
Abel is the Son of Man, the Third Logos we know as Jesus, he is a reflection of Adam and Eve, the Second Logos. Krishna is his first appearance on Earth, but in the etheric 'blue' form, his first physical incarnation is as Jesus, the Son of Man.
Seth is the Abel being, not as part of God, as in Krishna, but as an individual, who give the astral body to humankind and helps humankind develop the astral body. The incarnation of Lucifer.
What do we know about these three, what does the tradition tell about them? Cain is the Son of God, where Abel is the Son of Man. Cain is cast down onto the Earth. The name Cain, means smith or metal smith, but resembles the verb translated as 'gotten' or 'to make'. Abel stays back, just as Rudolf Steiner says about the Nathan Jesus. The name of Abel in Hebrew is composed of the same three consonants as a root meaning "breath". Breath meaning spirit, the breath of God.
Cain is of the masculine line ascending from the physical, Anthropos, where Abel is of the feminine line descending from the spiritual, Sophia. Cain tended vegetables, the etheric principle and Abel tended sheep, animals, the astral principle.
From Steiner: The Temple Legend, Lecture 2, the Contrast Between Cain and Abel.
Abel is the same as ‘pneuma’ in Greek, which means ‘spirit’, and if we look at that from the point of view of sexuality, it denotes a decidedly female character. Cain, on the other hand, means almost literally ‘the masculine,’ so that in Cain and Abel the masculine and feminine principles confront one another. Not yet on an organic level: they tend to differentiate on a spiritual level.
Now I would ask you to hold that fast in your minds. Originally mankind was male-female. Later on it was divided into a male and a female gender [the differentiation first came about in the Seth period]. The male, the more material race, was represented in Cain, the female, the more spiritual, in Abel-Seth. A differentiation has occurred. That is symbolised in the words: ‘Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.’ (Genesis 4, 2)
Abel have two sisters. This is an interesting information as it is a pattern that we will find again, as family, lovers or friends.
From Sacred Texts
Cain was a twin, for with him was born a girl; and Abel was one of three, for with him came two girls.--Gen. Rabba 22.
From Wikipedia
Various early commentators have said that Cain and Abel have sisters, usually twin sisters. According to Rabbi Joshua ben Karha as quoted in Genesis Rabbah, "Only two entered the bed, and seven left it: Cain and his twin sister, Abel and his two twin sisters."
A prominent Mesopotamian parallel to Cain and Abel is the Sumerian myth of the Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzid, in which the shepherd Dumuzid and the farmer Enkimdu compete for the affection of the goddess Inanna, with Dumuzid (the shepherd) winning out. Another parallel is Enlil Chooses the Farmer-God, in which the farmer-god Emesh and the shepherd-god Enten bring their dispute over which of them is better to the chief god Enlil, who rules in favor of Enten (the shepherd).
According to Midrashic tradition, Cain and Abel each had twin sisters; each was to marry the other's. The Midrash states that Abel's promised wife, Aclima, was more beautiful. Since Cain would not consent to this arrangement, Adam suggested seeking God's blessing by means of a sacrifice. Whoever God blessed would marry Aclima. When God openly rejected Cain's sacrifice, Cain slew his brother in a fit of jealousy and anger.
Seth is who Steiner calls the Luciferic incarnation, now the astral entered the Earth. He brought the wisdom of the God, he should help humankind, the Cain line, up again.
From Wikipedia
In gnosticism, Seth is seen as a replacement given by God for Abel, whom Cain had slain. It is said that late in life, Adam gave Seth secret teachings that would become the kabbalah. The Zohar refers to Seth as "ancestor of all the generations of the tzaddikim" (Hebrew: righteous ones).
In the Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus refers to Seth as virtuous and of excellent character, and reports that his descendants invented the wisdom of the heavenly bodies, and built the "pillars of the sons of Seth", two pillars inscribed with many scientific discoveries and inventions, notably in astronomy.
Some sources say that Seth was the receiver of scriptures. These scriptures are said to be the "first scriptures" mentioned in Q 87:18. Medieval historian and exegete al-Tabari and other scholars say that Seth buried Adam and the secret texts in the tomb of Adam, i.e., the "Cave of Treasures".
Within Islamic tradition Seth holds wisdom of several kinds; knowledge of time, prophecy of the future Great Flood, and inspiration on the methods of night prayer.

The Son of Man is the purified body, the Son of God the purified Soul, and the Father is the purified Spirit.
From Reading the Pictures of the Apocalypse, Lecture One.
The writer of the Apocalypse describes the same thing to us when he speaks of the “Son of Man.” He calls the seven communities the “seven stars,” and he saw the “Son of Man” as the spiritualized, purified form of the physical body, not only the etheric body, but the spiritual-physical form of “Man,” the human being, now purified and sanctified.
See Padmasambhava
A dear friend of mine told me about Padmasahmbhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. She wrote:
• He was born on a lotus.
• He loved the elementals and freed them through his compassion.
• As soon as he was born the elemental beings recognized him.
• And he could see them.
• He was their redeemer just like Christ was the redeemer of mankind.
• He used love to tame the most evil and ugly elementals and made them live more harmoniously with mankind.
• So the elementals actually came to love him as much as it was in their capacity to love.
This all points toward the Third Logos, whose consciousness and ‘I’ are in the elemental world, the Astral world. He is the Son of Man, of the Second Logos, as Abel or Jesus, he is one step deeper into the physical than mankind, where mankind is the Son of God, of the Cain family, son of the First Logos.
In his Jesus incarnation we are also shown his power over the demonic elemental world, he could see them and they recognized him and he cared. Jesus also didn’t hold the restrictions of religion and customs, he showed that we should live fully, have joy in life.
In his etheric incarnation as Krishna we also see his powers over the demonic. One of Krishna’s tasks is to teach humanity love and to love, and this is also a strong theme for Padmasambhava.
It’s interesting that Padmasambhava’s icons are the same as Indra’s and looking at the powers of Indra, it’s a good guess that Indra is the Third Logos. Indra is a young god, somewhat childish. Both Krishna and Padmasambhava are also shown as a child in depictions, as a young god.
Moustache is also used to show that a being is a young god or avatar.
Indra is the same as the Thunder God Thor, and Shiva is the same as Loki, and the relation between Thor and Loki is a good description of the relation between the tamed astral and the chaotic astral, between order and chaos.
I think Padmasambhava is the central force behind establishing the Tibetan Buddhism. The teaching of Manes continued in new clothes in Tibet. It also explains the more physical characteristics of the Tibetan Buddhism, of the role elementals and demons play in the daily life of the Tibetans.
He practiced and educated in tantric practices together with Mandarava, one of his two consorts, they mastered the physical fully, and they achieved or build the rainbow body, the resurrection body, the purified physical body. Both are believed to be alive in the rainbow Body today by their followers.
Both Mandarava and Padmasambhava's other main consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, are said to have reached Buddhahood, which is quite possible with a rainbow body, resurrection body.
See Padmasambhava
Steiner's lectures on the Apocalypse of John are some of the most interesting, as it takes us into the machine room of God. The Apocalypse is written in archetypal symbol language, so it also gives a feeling for the symbols, what are sorely needed in this age.
The Apocalypse describes the curriculum of human development, it's not a prediction! Here I will show a number of extracts of Steiner's lectures on the seven ages we are living through, also about the War of All Against All, as many seems to believe it's now, but it's far out in the future after the seventh age of America. I have also included an intuitive description of the first part of Earth, called Mars.
Steiner describes also the two major powers and personalities behind the development of humankind, who he calls for the Pillars of Strength and Wisdom. A planetary æon is the result of the work of the previous two planetary powers, here the old Sun and the old Moon. They are reflected in the Mars and Mercury æon, respectively. The result is the Pillar of Love. These are the Three Logoi.
The Planet of Love, is the Rosicrucian name for the Earth development, where Steiner calls it for the Cosmos of Love, meaning the solar system and not the whole unlimited universe. The main goal on Earth is to develop Love in our soul.

Mars is the representative of the Sun Forces, Mercury of the Moon Forces. The whole is a personification of future Man.
