Dear Etzion:

EB
Here are some suggestions:

1. "SWEAT BORN", does it mean perspiration literally, liquids which ooze out
of the skin? Does it mean, that in this method of reproduction,

==========================================

DTB
If you recall elementary cell reproduction, the new cells are created (born)
by the process of cell division -- all the elements of a new cell (sweat
born for example) are produced by the division of the physical
(morphological) contents of the parent cell.

The expression "sweat born" is to show by an analogy or picture, how a new
form (a-sexual) was produced from an old one WITHOUT ANY SEXUAL PROCESS. 

===============================================

EB
2. By the expression *STARRY VAULT*, does it mean a safe, like depositing
money box, or a domed room? 

===================================

DTB
This is a poetic way of describing the firmament -- the sky studded with
many stars.  

The word "vault" also mans a hemi-circle, such as one might see in a temple,
church, mausoleum, mosque, etc... -- a DOMED ROOM -- is correct.
==============================================

Best wishes,

Dallas

Shalom folks; two questions in English: 
1. "Sweat born", does it mean perspiration literally, liquids which ooze out
of the skin? Does it mean, that in this method of reproduction, the semen
simply exuded out of the skin?
 
2. By the expression *starry vault*, does it mean a safe, like depositing
money box, or a domed room? Thanks in advance, Etzion

Theosophical University Press Online Edition 

[[Vol. 2, Page]] 131 THE SWAN AND THE EGG. 

STANZA VI. THE EVOLUTION OF THE "SWEAT-BORN."

§§ (22) The evolution of the three races continued. (23) The second race
creates the Third and perishes. 

22. THEN THE SECOND EVOLVED THE SWEAT-BORN, THE THIRD (Race). THE SWEAT
GREW, ITS DROPS GREW, AND THE DROPS BECAME HARD AND ROUND. THE SUN WARMED
IT; THE MOON COOLED AND SHAPED IT; THE WIND FED IT UNTIL ITS RIPENESS. THE
WHITE SWAN FROM THE STARRY VAULT (the Moon), OVERSHADOWED THE BIG DROP. THE
EGG OF THE FUTURE RACE, THE MAN-SWAN (Hamsa) OF THE LATER THIRD (a). FIRST
MALE-FEMALE, THEN MAN AND WOMAN (b).
