[continued]

(A note on method: this* (currently) final version came when I had switched off concentration and was playing with different ideas.)

I think on the whole I like this last version* best. (Although I am rather sorry to lose the nice compact sphere version of 3-D[imensional] circles: I don't think it will do.(?)) The central perpendicular line is the three-dimensional [sic] centre perpendicular of the solid. The cone can usefully be presented as a four-sided (i.e. square-based) pyramid: I should guess that the sloping edges would represent the Cardinal points, and the sloping faces the diagonal points.

The curious and slightly alarming feature of this drawing* is that the 'Father' aspect of the One emerges as in line with creation and evolution and diversity (inner) (which one might expect) but also of [sic; = with?] complication and fragmentation and distraction (outer) **– these all being the area of the archetype +Mk, who is at (outer) times identified with Satanic aspects or Devilish work. While this may be entirely logical (cf. [William] Blake's and [Carl] Jung's rather different versions, and the Old Testament God), it is disconcerting to have it presented so clearly. I do not suggest that +Mk is the Father: the Trinity is almost as much hidden from us as the One from which the Trinity is manifested. But the link between the Prince of this World and the Creator of the World is logically, as well as diagrammatically, a close one. The Devil is the Father of Lies; but the Creation itself, in Theology as in Physics, may be viewed as a monumental deception.***
