A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division D - Thought Elementals and Fire Elementals
The elemental groups of the dense physical plane who are swept into activity by the builders, are three in number:
  1. The gaseous elementals.
  2. The liquid elementals.
  3. The strictly dense elementals.

One group concerns itself with the fiery channels, with the fires of the human body, and with the different gases to be found within the human periphery. Another group [945] is to be seen working in connection with the circulatory system, and with all the liquids, juices, and waters of the body; whilst the third is largely involved in the construction of the frame, through the right apportioning of the minerals and chemicals. A hint in connection with medicine is here to be found; it is occultly true that just as the liquid devas and elementals are closely related to the vegetable kingdom, and both to the plane of the emotions, the logoic liquid body, so the ills of men which affect the circulatory system, the kidneys, the bladder, and the lubrication of the joints, will find a CURE in vegetable constituents and above all in the right adjustment of the emotional nature.

Several influences other than those mentioned have to be considered when the subject of the work of these builders of man's body is under discussion. Not only are they affected by:

  1. A man's note,
  2. The color poured forth by the transmitting agents,
  3. The karmic agents,

but they come under:

  1. Group karma and vibration which will sweep in another group of agencies and builders, and thus affect a man's bodies,
  2. Racial karma, an extension of the above,
  3. Forces playing upon the planet from another scheme, or through the formation of a systemic triangle,
  4. A cosmic triangle of force of some specific kind which may bring in entities and energies of any particular scheme incident upon the karma of the planetary Logos.

It will, therefore, be apparent to the student how intricate this subject is and how truly each man is the outcome of force of some kind - egoic primarily, but also [946] planetary, and even systemic. Yet withal, no man is ever put into circumstances which are insurmountable, once he has reached the point where he has intelligently put himself on the side of evolution, or of God. Prior to that he may, and will, be driven by the gales of circumstance; the press of group and racial karma will force him into situations necessary for the process of awakening him to his own innate possibilities. Once he becomes the conscious builder himself, seeking to control the forces and builders of his lower nature, and to construct the Temple of Solomon, then he is no longer subject to the earlier conditions. He becomes a ruler, a builder, and a transmitter, until the time comes when he is one with the solar Angels, and the work of human evolution is accomplished.

What has been said above is very superficial, and only that has been imparted which has a profound significance for man at this time. Much must be inferred, and more must be arrived at under the Law of Correspondences. It must ever be borne in mind likewise that our basic conception is one of fiery energy, of force centers set in motion, and kept in active vibration, by the pulsation of still greater centers. Every form is built of fiery atoms, or energetic lives, through the agency of greater lives, and is held in coherent form within the still greater sheaths, - that greater sheath being to the lesser what the macrocosm is to the microcosm. All these groups of building lives may be divided into three groups of energy units, and their nature deduced from the phrases:

  1. Groups of lives animated by dynamic energy.
  2. Groups of lives animated by radiant energy.
  3. Groups of lives animated by atomic energy.

These again are the sumtotal of the three fires, electric fire, solar fire and fire by friction. In terms of the cosmic [947] physical plane, the correspondence to the systemic plane can be seen in the following tabulation:

  1. Dynamic energy - electric fire - atomic subplane. First etheric substance. Plane adi.
  2. Radiant energy - solar fire - three cosmic etheric levels. Logoic etheric body.
  3. Atomic energy - fire by friction - three planes of the three worlds. Logoic dense vehicle.

Each plane will be found to reflect this order in an interesting manner.
