It is interesting, too, to think back and realise that this concept of the nature of +C†I~ and the 1^st {spatial} dimension* – the Sword and the Rod – is built into the symbol of the Skewed Cone, and seems now to have been inevitable since first that appeared.** The Sword is the Sword of Separation – not the Sword in the Separation, used by the Separation, but the Sword which creates the Separation and continues to create and evolve it even now. And built into the symbol of the Sword are all the {spatial} dimensions: the length of it for the first{,} the cross-hilt for the second, and the thickness of it for the third. Hence the Cross itself (of the cross-hilted sword) is the symbol of Matter – an extreme form of Separation – and thus of Separation itself; and of the One who wields the Sword, creating the Separation{: and the point*** of it, is Time?}
