The primordial state is the central point of the graph. Let's say the graph is a being (yourself) in all its extensions: corporeal, subtle (aka "astral"), and spiritual. The central point from which they all emerge is the primordial state. It is a state of absolute simplicity that contains within itself, implicitly, all the later states. Just in the same way a 3d graph is contained in a simple, dimensionless point, viz. by extending a point you get a line and by extending the line in another direction you get a plane and by extending the plane you get a 3d graph, and all of this comes from the point which conceptually contains them all. In order to reach the primordial state you need to simplify, meditate, etc. Get rid of all the fluff you identify with and think of as your true self. Your real self is an absolute simple point in your "interior". This journey toward the primordial state is the "lesser mysteries" and is symbolized by the cross. The greater mysteries are symbolized by the rose cross, which represents the flowering of all the untapped potential contained in that central point. This explanation is based on the writing of Rene Guenon, so check him out if you want more info.
