Elements, Male and Female
In the Ancient Teachings, the first manifestation out of the Infinite at the birth of Cosmos is the Androgyne—a synthesis of the Male and Female Elements, or, as they are called in the Sacred Teachings—the Origins.
It is the Father-Mother, or Aditi of Hindu Cosmogony and the Sacred Teaching. Thus Darkness is Father-Mother; Light is Their Son. Darkness is the eternal womb in which the source of Light appears and disappears ... Father and Mother are the masculine and feminine principles in the Root of Nature, or the opposite polarities in all things, in each plane of the Cosmos. They are Spirit and Substance, whose result is the Son ... (SD)
And so, there is only one Substance, one Element—whether you call it God, Spirit, Fire, That, etc. or Para-brahmin, Ain-Soph, Space, Absolute, etc.—which in potentiality has both polarities, or is the Androgyne. (LHR I, p 489)
