A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division E - Motion on the Plane of Mind |
The center at the base of the spine (the lowest with which man
has consciously to deal) is one of a peculiar interest, owing to its being the originating
center for three long streams of energy which pass up and down the spinal column. This
triple stream of force has most interesting correspondences which can be worked out by the
intuitive student. Some hints may here be given. This channel of threefold energy has
itself three points of supreme interest, which (to word it so as to convey sense to the
interested) may be regarded as:
It is, therefore, a miniature picture of the whole evolution of spirit and matter for,
In the evolution of the fires of the spine, we have a correspondence to the sutratma with its three points of interest, the monadic auric egg, its emitting point, the egoic auric egg, the medial point, and the body or gross form, its lowest point. Another hint of interest lies in the fact that there exist between these spinal centers, certain gaps (if I may so express it) which have (in the course of evolution) to be bridged by the energetic action of the rapidly growing vibration of the force unit. Between the triple energy of the spinal column and the alta major center, there is a hiatus, just as there exists that which must be bridged between the triple lower man and the egoic body, or between the mental unit on the fourth subplane of the mental plane and the solar Angel on the third subplane. Though we are told that the permanent atomic triad is enclosed in the [1160] causal periphery, nevertheless, from the standpoint of consciousness there is that which must be bridged. Again, between the alta major center and the supreme head center, exists another gulf - a correspondence to the gulf found between the plane of the Ego and the lowest point of the Triad, the manasic permanent atom. When man has constructed the antahkarana (which he does during the final stages of his evolution in the three worlds) that gulf is bridged and the Monad and the Ego are closely linked. When man is polarized in his mental body, he begins to bridge the antahkarana. When the center between the shoulder blades, referred to earlier in this Treatise as the manasic center, is vibrating forcefully, then the alta major center and the head center, via the throat center can be united. Man, when he reaches this stage, is a creator in mental matter of a caliber different from the unconsciously working average man. He constructs in unison with the plan and the divine Manasaputra, the Son of Mind, will turn his attention from being a Son of Power in the three worlds and center his attention in the Spiritual Triad, thus recapitulating on a higher turn of the spiral, the work he earlier did as man. This becomes possible when the growth of the triangle just above dealt with (base of spine, alta major center and throat, as they unify in the head) is paralleled by another triplicity, the solar plexus, the heart and the third eye; the energy merging through them is similarly unified in the same head center. The third eye is an energy center constructed by man; it is a correspondence to the energy center, the causal body, constructed by the Monad. The alta major center is similarly constructed by other streams of force and corresponds interestingly to the triple form constructed by the ego in the three worlds. When this dual work has proceeded to a certain evolutionary point, another triplicity becomes alive within the [1161] head itself as the result of these dual streams of triple energy. This triangle transmits fiery energy via the pineal gland, the pituitary body and the alta major center and this reaches the head center. In this way in these three triangles we have nine streams of energy converging and passing into the highest head lotus. The correspondence to certain macrocosmical forces will here be apparent to all discerning students. We have seen the close connection between the different centers and the gradually demonstrating effects to be noted as they are linked up and eventually produce a synthetic circulatory system for egoic energy in conjunction with the energy of the lower man, which forms a kind of medium by which the egoic force makes itself felt. Macrocosmically, but little can be said which would prove intelligible to man at his present stage of evolution. Some brief statements might, nevertheless, be given which (if pondered on and correlated with each other) may throw some light on planetary evolution and on the relation of the planetary Logoi to the solar Logos. A solar Logos uses for His energy centers the planetary schemes, each of which embodies a peculiar type of energy, and each of which, therefore, vibrates to the key of the logoic solar Angel, of which the human solar Angel is a dim reflection. It is interesting here to note that as the human solar Angel is a unity, manifesting through three tiers of petals, the logoic correspondence is even more interesting, for that great cosmic Entity demonstrates on the cosmic mental plane as a triple flame working through seven tiers of petals, and it is the energy from these seven circles of energy which pulsates through the medium of any scheme. All this is hidden in the mystery of the ONE ABOUT WHOM NAUGHT MAY BE SAID, and it is not possible for men to solve it, - the truth being obscure to even the highest Dhyan Chohan of our system. |
