Tritocosmos
In the Gnostic study of the order of the cosmos the last
order of creation is the tritocosmos or the inferior regions of nature, also
called the abyss or the inferno or in Christian terms: Hell.
Orders of Worlds
According to Gnosis the worlds or levels of creation or the levels
of the cosmos are organised into a series of worlds that overlap and have originally
unfolded from within the Absolute.
So just taking up the level of creation of galaxies, our
galaxy (the galaxy we belong to) which is the Milky Way, then there is the Solar
System (Ors), then the planets, then the human being and then the tritocosmos which
following the pattern of each world being inside the other (e.g. the planets inside
the solar system and the solar system is inside the galaxy etc.), the
tritocosmos is inside the human being.
Abyss or Atomic Infernos and the Inferior Regions of Planet Earth
This is true that we have an abyss inside of us and
amazingly enough there is also a correlation with this inferno or tritocosmos
inside us and the inferno or inferior region of the planet in which we belong
to or are a part of – Earth.
This is because we are a part of the planet, we are an organ
of the planet, and we are connected to it.
Psychological States and the Tritocosmos
The abyss is inside of ourselves and often our egos take us
there through identification and we experience or live out of our own abyss and
at the same time we are also connected to the abyss of the planet. So in some
ways with ego identification we live here physically (our body) but
psychologically we live in the abyss! Terrifying! That is why we do such crazy
things at times.
The psychological states that we experience due to
identification with one or another ego is the same that we can feel or
experience in the abyss of the nature or the planet Earth.
So what Dante describe in the first part (“Inferno”) of his
trilogy called the Divine Comedy are spot on. The suffering that the souls
undergo and experience in the various regions of the abyss or inferno of the planet
earth are what we experience in our own abyss when we get identified with the
ego or egos that take us down there.
Conclusion
The only way to escape our own abyss and the abyss of nature
is dissolve the elements that bring us down there or connect us to those two
abysses.
To escape though we have to descend into our own abyss and the
abyss of nature to take the light and wisdom from there and then use that light
to dissolve the ego. The key is to know when to withdraw from the abyss,
staying there to long is dangerous.
