comparative chart of cosmic causes?

[David Melik]

Unfortunately theosophy-forum.com seems maybe gone permanently. I learned much there: the owner had a good Theosophy commentary/lesson site and links to more.

One had a comparative chart of cosmic causes: it listed the causeless cause, protologos, duologos, tritologos for various systems (not all exist in each) including Semitic mythology & Kabbalah, Christianity, Jakob Boehme's philosophy, Sanatana Dharma ('Hinduism,') Greek mythology, Teutonic mythology, maybe Mazdayasna or Egyptian mythology or others. I would really like to find this chart again; it was very helpful.

An alternate theory of causality is Buddha Dharma's dependent arising.

Below are examples of what the chart had.

In Sanatana Dharma, causeless cause is Parabrahman, and the logoi are usually a trimurti such as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva.

In Kabbalah, causless cause is ain (void,) and the three logoi are said to be ain-soph, ain-soph aur, and something else like tikkun (logos.)

In Greek mythology there is no causeless cause, and Chaos is actually the first logos, and later protogenoi are the next two.

In Christianity, there is no causeless cause, but the trinity are the logoi. I guess the site did not have a Gnostic list, but maybe Gnosticism has a causeless cause.

In Teutonic mythology, I think that mythological cow in the ice is the causeless cause, and ravens are some other cause, but IIRC, Teutonic mythology does not have a triple manifestation (three logoi.)

In Boehme's terms, causeless cause is 'Godhead,' and there is about one logos: 'God.'
