Dr. Robert Fludd🌹 Brief Explanation of an Image Victor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes.🌹 ''Robert Fludd was an Englishman, a Paracelsist physician practising in London, and his philosophy was in line of dscent from Renaisance Magia and Cabala, with the addition of Paracelsist alchemy and strong influences from John Dee.'' (Frances Yates, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, p.101) There is much that we can say about the fundamental aspect of Dr. Robert Fludd's images = De Home. Intern. No. et Harm. =The Inner Man Number and Harmony. And more particularly, evidently the Kabbalah as a fundamental part of his thought together with the angelic system of Ternaries and its theurgic and mystical magical aspect; where the name, letter and symbol are unified to emit meanings according to levels. It is worth emphasizing the "imaginist perspective" through 27 levels of the macrocosm-microcosm where the pyramidal and flowery body of Man is nourished. As we have seen, it is the Hermetic-Kabbalistic Chain of transmission that emphasizes the service of the angels expressed in a symbolic system of astral analogies and correspondences. In the same sense, the image on the right says=Harmonia essentialis qua anima humana cuiuslibet trium mundi regionum portionem ad suam constitutionem sibi rapit=''The essential harmony by which the human soul draws into his own constitution any portion of the regions of the worlds.'' Man has the capacity and potential, according to Dr. Robert Fludd, to operate at various levels of the BEING, from the seraphic regions to the terrestrial regions. The system of powers and authorities within the Hierarchical Order is a fundamental part of any explanation of the image. Fludd knew the Corpus Dionysiacum and the mysticism of the Corpus Aereopagiticum of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite-philosopher of the 5th or early century 6. ''Angelology was an important branch of Renaissance studies. Cabala professed to teach a mode of approaching angels and set out their hierarchies and functions in great detail.'' (Frances Yates) Now, there is in Fludd a powerful Kabbalistic cosmology where the texts are joined to the Treatises of Dionysius the Areopagite that we can distinguish in the same angelic order of the image from Seraphin to the angel. ''The simplex unity; the beginning; the starting point; source of essences; the first action, the Being of beings; Nature producing nature'' (Robert Fludd) Curiously, this angelic world is manifested by Triangles= (Divine Trinity)- 3x3=9 Three levels that are=Empyrean World=angels, ethereal= (stars and planets) and elemental. A=Seraphini-Cherubini-Throni=3 B=Dominationes-Principatus-Potestates=3 C=Virtutes-Archangeli-Angeli=3 Those 12 angels are 12 Celestial Columns that express themselves as follows= A=Mens simplex spiraculum Dei=Simple Mind: the opening of God B=Intellectus agens primum mentis tegumentumseu Vehiculum: The Active Intellect, the first sheath or Vehicle Mind C= Mens e Intellectus in spiritus rationali:ratione,seu intellectus patiente=Mind and Intellect in the Rational Spirit, open to Reason or Intellect D=Spiritus rationalis Mente e Intellectu in Anima media=The Rational Spirit with Mind amd Intellect in the Middle Soul E=Anima media in latice aethereo natans; seu lux Vitalis Mente=The Middle Soul swimming in ethereal fluid, or the Vital Light with the Mind F=Corpus receptaculum omnium=The Body, receptacle of All Things the Hierarchy (Left Column) =Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones. Dominations, Principalities, Powers. Virtues, Archangels, Angels. Primum Mobile (First Moved), Starry Sky, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon 4 Elements=Fire, Air, Water, Earth. Intervals (Arcs) Spiritual Diapason (Octave), Spiritual Diapente (Fifth), Spiritual Diatessaron (Fourth), Medium Diapason, Medium Diapente, Medium Diatessaron, Material Diapason, Material Diapente, Material Diatessaron. A possible explanation relates the system and its terminology to certain variants of the mystical system of India (7 Centers) where the system groups the energy centers according to petallike or floral levels (lotuses) and chakras or energy vortices. From A = two wings and so on. Notice that B-C-D and E combine solar elements and solar petals or emanations. From the Main and Solar Triangle above to the F = Man and Earth. The system degrades as it descends to 4 Elements=Ignis-Aer-Aqua-Terra. (It is only a minimal🌹 contribution to the topic) Dr. Robert Fludd🌹 Brief Explanation of an Image Victor. Arturo. Cabello.
