FORMULA III
“Lead Us From Death To Immortality”
“Whoever knows the Thread (antahkarana)
and the inner Ruler knows God,
knows the worlds, knows the souls, knows all.” The Upanishads
· When the antahkarana is wholly constructed, the initiate has Monadic (God) communication.
· Sacrifice: Those who are in Monadic communication are inspired to live a life of sacrificial service; of beauty.
The Monad, Eye, and Solar Logos.
The Monad is a Ray of fire from and rooted in the Central Spiritual Sun. The Monad is the seed of the antahkarana. As the human soul – goes through the steps of purification with It’s unfolding vision, a phenomena occurs in the life of a disciple/initiate which is recognized as “the light in the head.” This phenomenon is the result of increasing tension upon the pineal and pituitary glands. The increased tension may find some disciples experiencing a dizziness, light-headedness and feeling abstracted. There is an increased energy (creative) produced by the unfolding petals of the egoic Lotus. This light can be recognized as the “Eye” of the soul. The birth of the soul has now taken place. It is, at this point where the awakened, illumined soul has a glimpse, a momentary experience of the “Eternal Now” for the first time.
As the Solar Logos, in a Cosmic sense, is purifying, evolving and unfolding His vision, “The All-Knowing Eye,” the human Monad too is undergoing purification and unfolding It’s vision, much in the same manner the Solar Logos who has not yet reached His full Cosmic Consciousness. The Monad, the Third Eye of the disciple is now open and channeling the energy of Buddhi. This energy, esoterically understood, is channeled through the right eye where up until now, the left eye of the disciple has channeled mental energy throughout the personality unit. (Likewise, our Solar Logos transmits energies to the bodies in his system, the Solar System.) When this phenomenon occurs, the disciple will, with first hand experience, realize the third formula, “Lead us from death to Immortality.”
The Illumined Eye is the central Core of the egoic lotus around which revolves the life of the disciple just as our sun revolves around Alcyon.
The illumined soul is now known as the Eye of the Monad; it is the Eye of Revelation, and through the law of attraction and the law of sacrificial service is led from death to immortality. This is the Path of Discipleship – of Initiation and of Revelation. It is through the illumined Eye the disciple and initiate experiences the world of meaning; his vision deepens, evolves, and revelation takes place. He experiences life through straight knowledge – a knowledge, which goes beyond the mind, penetrating into the world of meaning.
In being led from death to immortality the soul is undergoing purification through the process of transformation and transfiguration. Having experienced transfiguration, the soul is now illumined having achieved a heightened state of consciousness, but like the Solar Logos, is still not fully conscious.
The Solar Logos, through the penetration of his consciousness into every cell, every atom, and every form within His Ring-Pass-Not, likewise, the illumined and transfigured soul penetrates It’s consciousness into every atom of the personality unit. Still, the illumined and transfigured soul has not yet penetrated into the greater mysteries of the Earth Scheme, much in the same way that the Solar Logos has not yet penetrated into the mysteries of our Galaxy.
To further help reveal the mystery of Formula III, the Secret Doctrine says: “What is that which was, is and will be: whether there is a universe or not; whether there be gods or none?” The answer is: Space.
Time and Space
Space is an entity. If Space is an entity, then Space is Life, a divine life. When an esotericist considers Space, he is considering the Lives of the Universe, our solar system, constellations, stars and the gradient planes of substance.
Time establishes rhythm, events, cycles, evolution. Without rhythm, the symphony (Life) of Space would be made of chaos.
Time in this world takes the disciple from task to task; the disciple recognizes time as a directive, both horizontal and vertical, eventually realizing the difference between material time and Space-time, using time as a progressive rhythm from death to immortality, from the lower three worlds to the Higher Worlds.
The Secret Doctrine indicates that the whole system of nature evinces a progressive march towards a higher life.

Non- integrated thoughts:
- The Universal Cosmic Soul is the ‘medium’ between Space (Spirit) and substance (matter). It is the principle of consciousness.
- Kalachakra Teachings. The Teachings of the Kalachakra was given to us from Space.
- Certain illumined ones receive impressions from Space – impressions which become recorded in the spiritual triad, registered upon the etheric brain, causing them to live a sacrificial life.
- A disciple recognizes the timelessness of Space when he functions in the higher mental plane and beyond.
- We always exist whether in Space or on earth.
