A Paper on Naming

4. Impartation. Reference to this is made in the Book of Revelation, found in

The New Testament. There we are told that the initiate is given a white stone,

and in the stone "a new name" is found written; this is the "hidden name

egoic." I am at a loss at this point as to how to express the higher

significance of this. This impartation marks a climaxing point in the

attainment of the point of tension where the Sound can be heard and not the

Word alone. Never forget that the O.M. is simply a symbolically sounded word

which is intended to bring into the minds of those upon the Path those two

great points of tension wherein

a. The "hidden name egoic" is conferred upon the disciple. This, as far as he

is concerned, is the Word of his soul ray.

b. The Sound heard of which the O.M. is a symbol. This is the first letter of

the sevenfold Name of the planetary Logos. More upon this subject may not be

given, nor am I in a position to give it. Rule 13 p264

I would like to lay out a system of naming and numbering that I have been

formulating for analysing one’s Ray structure which is to me , synonymous With knowing one’s true name.

1. We each, like our ‘Father’ have a sevenfold name. This is our ‘Brahma’

or third aspect name. It is made up of the seven ray influences on each of our

seven bodies

Our prototypical name ‘after the Cosmic Father’ would be 1234567 as these are

the ‘names’ of the planes. Individuals have different ray structures however.

The physical body on one ray, the astral on another and so forth. We are

familiar with ray structures which go something like this for example

II, I, IV, 3,6,7 meaning a second ray monad, first ray soul, fourth ray

personality, third ray mind, sixth ray astral and seventh ray physical.

What I propose is that we have seven primary vehicles equating to each of the

planes ( and various lesser divisions like higher/lower mind, etheric body

etc ). Thus we would have an atmic ray, buddhic ray and so on.

My hypothetical sevenfold name might be. 2,1,7,2,3,6,1

2. We each have a threefold name or ‘Vishnu’ name which is made up of the

three unifiying ‘entities’ which we call the monad, soul, and personality. This

would be II, I, IV.

Combining my Vishnu and Brahma names I would get II, 2,1,7 I, 7,2,3 IV 3,6,7

Each one of my three names works through three letters. The atmic and mental

planes are the planes of overlap and so they share the same ‘letter’ with two

unifying entities. These two planes would have their own ‘threefoldness’ which

would be unified by the synthetic ray of that plane. For example I might have

different rays influencing the higher mind, lower mind, and ‘son of mind’ but

these would all be unified by the third ray in this case at a certain stage of

evolution.

The analogy here with actual names is that we normally have three. For example

Bruce Philip Lyon. Sometimes we are called by one or onther of these names.

Sometimes by all three, and frequently by just the first and last names. This

latter situation would equate to the spirit/matter duality which occurs once

the soul or linking principle has done its work. For this analogy in letters to

be accurate the requirement would be for each ‘name’ to have three letters and

for the last letter of each name to be the first letter of the next one.

3. We have a Shiva name which would simply be that of the monad.

4. We have a ‘synthetic’ name. This name is not ours but that of the

Planetary Logos and would represent the ‘seventh’ letter of His name. This is

the meaning behind ‘taking our Father’s name’. When we take His name we adopt

His purpose and recognise it as our own.

A planetary Logos operates on seven planes. Conceivably we could have some

sense of His physical ray make up which would likely tell us the role of the

globe in the chain. The role of the chain in the scheme might give us the

astral clue and the role of the scheme within the Solar system might give us

the mental ray, these being synthesised by the personality ray of the Logos.

We know that our PL is undergoing the second cosmic initiation. This means He

is polarised on the Cosmic astral plane and is seeking to master his astral

vehicle. To do this at the second degree we know that a touch of the monad is

necessary and so the PL must be seeking to so condition His astral body with

buddhi that some monadic energy can be present to lift his desire nature away

from its focus on form ( the cosmic physical plane ). As his desire

nature ‘lifts’ free from the physical etheric, those units of consciousness

within the cosmic physical plane who have become identified now with His desire

nature, who have ‘taken their Father’s name’ through that identification, will

also lift free.
