The movement of consciousness is always a dual process. The abstraction of elements of identity within the group causal field into the atmic body has a reflex action in the opposite direction. This results in the descent of atmic
energies into the etheric/physical. However because the directional intention is towards abstraction then the result is an uprushing of the combined lower energies toward the higher.
"When the radiant light of the Solar Angel is fused with the golden light of the cosmic intermediary, it awakens from darkness the rush light of anu, the speck." (TWM, p.105)
The lower energies referred to form part of the life of the physical plane—they are in effect the soul energies within the form—the agnichaitans or fire elementals. Just as the causal body forms the fire bridge between the cosmic ethers and the three worlds, so there are a class of agnichaitans operating on the fifth or gaseous subplane of the physical which form the fire bridge between the physical body and the etheric. The release of the energy within the form is responsible for a number of phenomena:
. The registering of the ‘light within the head’.
. The radiance of the physical body and the release of its energy reserves.
. The raising of kundalini.
It is thus the identification with the Will aspect of the triad, or atma, which makes possible the sacredising of matter (by releasing the light or consciousness within it) and the subsequent fusion of the three worlds of the triad with the three worlds of the personality. It is through this process that the six-pointed star becomes the five-pointed star. This alignment brings the Fifth, Third and First Initiations into one synthetic expression. Let me make this clearer:
The First Initiation involves the physical plane. The consciousness of the disciple is focused upon the purification of the etheric and physical body and the ray influence is the Seventh. Through this purification and the manipulation of the physical body through exercise and diet some of the energies of the physical body are released into the etheric and go into the building of the chakra system.
At the Third Initiation the Fifth Ray comes into play and the mind is enlightened, which has its reflex action upon the physical/etheric. More energy is released, but this time through the inflow of manas or mind. At the Fifth Initiation it is the action of the First Ray which releases atma. The reflex action of this release creates the ‘third uprising’ of the energy of matter and the full disintegration of the causal body. It is the combination of the First, Fifth and Seventh Rays that focuses the highest into the lowest. There is thus an alignment between three
temples – the
of the mysteries of initiation has a correspondence to this process. On a solar systemic level the anchoring of a ‘germ of solar Will’ by the Planetary Logos has its correspondence.
The three forms of individualisation are also related to this process. In the first system individualisation was effected by the action of matter. In the second system it was effected by the action of consciousness. In the third system it will be effected by the action of will.
The mystery of sexuality concerns the electrical interaction between the soul and the personality. When the highest aspect of the triad (atma) is consciously brought into the lowest aspect of the personality (the physical body) then we have the fusion of the two three-fold entities, creating a single entity whose consciousness encompasses the five lower planes (hence the five-pointed star).
The causal body is the Christ or middle principle within the five worlds. It was created at individualisation in this system through the electrical interplay between the atmic and physical planes. The ‘seed’ of atma was placed in the ‘womb’ of matter, resulting in the Christ child at the midway point. When this electrical interplay can be worked with consciously by the indwelling causal self or soul then the Christ principle is able to embrace both parents and ‘at-one’ the five lower planes of the cosmic physical.
The Fifth Ray or five-pointed star of
I want you to think about this whole process in relationship to your work as a group soul. The first phase of your work was to focus upon an outer physical location. This was the Seventh Ray focus on the project located at Highden. The
second phase of your work was to focus upon conscious development of the group causal field, which also necessarily involved some abstraction and reorientation of your consciousness from its outer activity. The third phase of
your work has been a further abstraction and focus upon the Will of your Master. This focus combined with a united invocative appeal, has resulted in the beginnings of a rent or tear in the causal field, allowing a portion of your
identity (or First Aspect) to abstract and be built into a higher point of tension—literally forming a small and relatively insignificant part of the throat chakra of the planet.
The reflex result of this abstraction of identity is a downpouring in the opposite direction of the ‘activity’ or Third Aspect of the monad onto the physical plane. This simultaneous dual movement (provided that the overall emphasis is on abstraction and NOT precipitation) results in an upliftment—a raising of the lower energies towards the higher. This is what creates the stable vortex of
initiation that comprises a school. Consciousness identified with matter is continually being drawn in towards the central eye where it is eventually released from identification with the three worlds and finds its polarisation within the triad. As this higher polarisation occurs, the reflex action is a downpouring of monadic energies through the personality fields, which in turn interacts with the material intelligence drawn into those fields and stimulates or quickens the Christ principle within them. The overall effect is of a self-perpetuating and growing generator of consciousness or the Second Aspect and its expansion to include the five worlds as a unified expression.
Manifestation prior to the Third Degree is a process of consciousness attempting to direct and master form. After the Third Degree consciousness or the soul principle is no longer directed towards the manipulation of form but becomes
a conduit for relating the energies of spirit and matter, allowing one to flow into the other. The Plan which is already imbued with Purpose thus effortlessly
‘formulates’ itself within the three worlds because the consciousness of those through which it is entering is no longer interfering with the process. Ponder this.
