Man’s development is the harmonizing of his centres of consciousness with the external planes in the universe by attuning the lesser self with the greater self. The tiny spark thus gains the ability to speak to its parent – the great spark. All this comes when the life is freed from the form – not by destruction of form but by regeneration of the bodies, a process symbolized mathematically by the freeing of the One from the Four.

If our minds are befuddled or unbalanced, we cannot comprehend the mysteries of God. If our hearts are filled with misgivings or passions, we cannot have the divine compassion of the Christ. If we have expended our vital energy and wasted our substance in riotous living, we cannot attune ourselves to the living planes of the eternal. If our bodies are crystallized and broken, we cannot perform the daily labours that give us a right to our position in the Great Plan. These four bodies are our cross, upon which the One is crucified. Buried in materiality, we see only the Four. As we revivify and harmonize this cross through right living, then the One shines out and man becomes the divine Five.

It is perhaps more correct to state that the human centres (including those of consciousness) are microcosmic manifestations of the planes of existence.
The return to conscious unity is a process of purifying the centres so that they function smoothly with the planes of which they are a part.

... the lotus flower, which grows in mud, slowly opening up its petals?

I would not want to push that metaphor too far. The Beings of the Planes (Recording Angels / Lords of Karma) might not like to have their bodies of manifestation referred to as mud

Mud is good, God spat on dust and made it good I was referring to the flower opening up enough to encompass that which was formally 'without'.

I was being slightly comical while pointing out that all substance in connected to Divinity.
>the flower opening up enough to encompass that which was formally 'without'.
The human, being primarily emotional in behaviour, is sometimes referred to as a plant. And each of the chakras as it opens and radiates can be seen as similar to the opening of a lotus flower.

When the One dictates to the Four, fear, selfishness and egotism disappear. In their place is one who is great because of utter simplicity, great with the faith of a child and the wisdom of a God. Then the spiritual man, the One, is robed in the purified garments of the Four. But this great mystery – like all other true mysteries of the Qabbalah – must be lived before it can be understood. The fact that his name or birth path may be similar to any of these numbers means nothing to the true Qabbalist. His conscious understanding as the result of having experienced these truths means all. Only those who have lived life through and have risen above life and its uncertainties can truly comprehend the mystery of the number Five.

Long ago I used to work with a radionics practitioner. Over time we reduced the use of the machine and tended to treat her clients with numbers, colours and intent. The numbers we used were strings used to modify the qualities of targeted subplanes. The strings were often simple repetitions. For example when I look at a certain friend as I write this I would target plane 4.2 (near the top of the heart chakra), using a blue tone a bit paler and less intense than the sky, a concept of Release and a set of numbers: 333427. That would be applied for a few minutes at most, until an energy release or change occurred.

What is the significance of 333427 ?

No doubt the numbers have significance - or at least meaning. The numbers usually appear to me and I do a quick check for fitness.
In this case - there being only 6 numbers - I would look to see if they apply separately on the 6 subplanes 4.2 to 4.7. Following that hypothesis we have:
subplanes 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 all to function under Ray 3, i.e. intelligently active. (4.1 to 4.3 can be regarded as transpersonal heart and 4.4 as the transformer to the personal heart) 4.5 running on Ray 4 - harmonising 4.6 on Ray 2 - pure love - 4.6 resonates easily with 5.2 (love petals of soul body) and emotional body particularly 6.2 4.7 (densest heart level) on Ray 7 - integrating into the dense levels of the persona with structured order.
Thus a first hypothesis we have: higher levels of the heart operating in native mode with the personal heart harmonised, injected with pure love where it can resonate easily into the persona, patterned into the persona including physical body.
So that hypothesis covers meaning. Signficance requires investigation of the greater system in which the individual is embedded.

Any chance you can post the chart of the planes and subplanes so we (I) can follow your reasoning more clearly?
Any reason why you went directly to 4.2-4.7?

Here is the classic diagram from AAB The number system goes from the bottom. Thus: - 7.7 solids - 7.6 liquids - 7.5 gas - 7.4 to 7.1 various etheric subplanes. The diagram decomposes the mental plane into a 3:4 structure (at the dashed line) but could equally have decomposed it into a 3:1:3 structure as I have done with the buddhic plane (4.1 to 4.7). I put the 6 numbers against 4.2 to 4.7 because I targeted the energies to 4.2 so that 4.1 was out of range. There being only6 subplanes within range it was an obvious first hypothesis to match the 6 numbers to 6 subplanes. And the match is quite good - but of course needs verification if it is to be relied on.

"According to mystic seers, the characteristic blue haze seen in mountain canyons, currently attributed to Mie scattering-theory, is the most dense form of the Aether: the Chemical Ether. (Blue Mountains, Australia depicted)" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etheric_plane

I notice 18 rungs up it brings us to the plane of the lower mind and the 33rd level is the level of the Holy Spirit (which is said to be feminine and by some 'the widow').
Is that coincidental?

Love that blue. Why is the Blessed Virgin usually dressed in a similar blue?

>I notice 18 rungs up it brings us to the plane of the lower mind
Long ago I was in a community and used to work moderately closely with H. Anyway he was due to go away for a while and had an impulse to meditate together - on opposite sides of the room. During the meditation I saw formed an 18 strand rope between us.
After that, for several days, our girl friends used to confuse our names. That had never happened before.
The 18 strand rope connected our personalities on 7 physical subplanes, 7 emotional and the lower 4 mental.
The possible connection between the 18 subplanes and the 18th degree is interesting and quite possibly intentional. I will contemplate the matter.
The coincidence of the expression Holy Spirit with the 33rd subplane (counting from the bottom) is probably intentional as the subplane is 3.3 (counting from the top) and hence particularly resonant with the 3rd ray which is associated with the 3rd position in the Trinity.
There are many subtle numerical patterns with that numbering system.

>Why is the Blessed Virgin usually dressed in a similar blue?
It is said that the late decision of the Roman church (16th century) to standardise the colours for Mary (pale blue and white) was to prevent association of Mary with the traditional colours used for pagan priestesses.
By some accounts the blue and white (and the Madonna and child images) are straight copies from the Widow Isis.
And of course pale blue and white are proper colours for Masonry. The Blue should not have a violet undertone but a turquoise undertone.
