Uranus the Hierophant One Life. This Life I am. My will is for all my lesser selves to know me at their core as the essence, the beginning and the end of their existence. It is thus, as the One Life, I LIVE. A key tenet that needs to be kept in mind then, when considering the duality of spirit and matter, is that this duality needs to be understood in (at least) both vertical and horizontal dimensions. If you read the Theosophical literature that has already been given out with this clearly in mind a new world of realisations will open up. Sometimes when I am referring to spirit I am referring to the subtle energies on the ‘higher’ planes. Sometimes I am referring to the identity on specific (or indeed all) ‘planes’. Spirit/matter manifests as a fourfold field. They tetra-arise. Human souls are able to stand at the centre of this fourfold expression and be themselves the at-oneing link. They can do this because they are at once both the offspring of the dualities and also, at their root, IO—the one reality that expresses as the duality which in turn expresses in a fourfold manner.

The glyph of the planet Uranus is a shorthand visual reminder of this key which must be repeatedly turned by the would-be initiate. Uranus is the only planet that orbits on its side. If we turn the glyph on its side we get IO with a connecting line. This connecting line in 61
