fashioned the triangle and the square ... but no foundation ... in search of the pillars
 
*four beasts supporting the world as [numina] > four pillars as [aeones]
 
*milky way (heavenly river where birds migrate to)
 
*4 rivers, 4 mountains, 4 fires, 4 currents
 
*4 rivers in the lower underworld are destructive, they concentrate in a swamp; 4 rivers in the upper underworld are all-curing, they concentrate in a well; 4 rivers in the lower overworld are knowledge-giving, they concentrate in the milky way, a lake of fire;
 
Lest this dew infiltrate higher (the net to collapse), envision the great tree's nectar exalted from its leaves to gush into current, for the sap to flow as the four pillar rivers.
 
 
*The Pillars "to fecundate the embryo": The water-eater shall support the land by swimming, so it does not sink into the chaotic waters; the earth-eater shall support the land by trampling, so it does not dissolve into chaotic earth; the fire-eater shall support the sky by roaring, so it does not petrify into orderly fire; the wind-eater shall support the sky by flying, so it does not ascend into orderly winds.
 
*The Tree: The tree's roots grew around the water-eater (forming the swamp); the tree's trunk grew around the earth-eater (forming the forest); the tree's branches grew around the fire-eater (forming the desert), and the tree's leaves grew around the wind-eater (forming the steppe).
 
*The Passages "to set the axis in path": The churning of the Mother's milk by the water-eater's movements generated the four rivers and the aquatic beings; the grinding of the Mother's breasts by the earth-eater's movements generated the four mountains and the terrestrial beings; the condensation by the fire-eater's movements generated the four lights and the heavenly beings; the flux by the wind-eater's movements generated the four currents and the aerial beings.
