A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division D - Thought Elementals and Fire Elementals

c. Agni and the Three Fires In studying the manifestation of Agni in the solar system it should be remembered that we are considering here His essential nature as actuating fire. We have seen that He is the threefold logoic personality, but He is the threefold Logos in a subjective sense, and the [607] form aspect is only subsidiary. Perhaps a tabulation may make this point clearer.

Agni - Lord of Fire (Tabulation V)

Aspect	Fire	Result	Subjective Manifestation	Origin of Energy	Objective Manifestation

First Will.	Electric Fire.	Activity of Spirit.	The One Life. Unity. Spiritual. Dynamic. Coherence. Synthesis.	Central Spiritual Sun.	The Solar System (etheric and dense).

Second Love-Wisdom.	Solar Fire	Activity of Consciousness. Egoism. Vitality. Magnetism.	The seven Heavenly Men. The seven Rays. The seven types of Mind.	The Heart of the Sun.	The seven Rays manifesting through the seven Planetary Schemes.

Third Activity.	Fire by Friction	Activity in Matter. Atomic Vitality. Energy.	The seven Fires. The Akasha.	The Physical Sun.	The seven Planes. [608]

Each of these three aspects of the One Fire, showing as the Creative Fire, Preserving Fire, and Destroying Fire, must be studied as electrical phenomena, and this under the aspects of light, flame, and heat, of electricity, radiance and motion, of will, desire and action. Only thus will the true nature of Agni be apprehended. As the logoic personality He is demonstrating through a triplicity of sheaths forming a unity, and only thus will it become apparent why at this stage in evolution the material aspect is the most considered. The entire system is the physical sheath of the Logos and consequently the most easily cognized, for the Logos is as yet centered in His cosmic sheaths and can only reveal Himself through their medium. Man's just apprehension of this mystery of electricity will only come about as he studies himself, and knows himself to be a triple fire, manifesting in many aspects.
