| Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle - The Centers and the Personality |
| 4. The Central Triangle of Energies. This
central triangle indicates unmistakably the three rays which condition a man's
"periodical vehicles," as H.P.B. expresses it. These are: the monadic ray, the
soul ray and the personality ray. To the watching and attentive Master it is also apparent
which ray is the controlling ray, but this is not possible to anyone below the grade of
Master. Disciples and other onlookers must form their conclusions from the "nature of
the sphere of radiation." An element of error can creep in at this point, which is
not possible to a Master; it must, however, be remembered that until the sixth Initiation
of Decision, "the Monad guards two secrets, but loses three [176] when it takes
control and the soul fades out." This, I may not further elucidate. I have here given a somewhat new slant or picture of the centers. It is one of great value to students could they but realize it, because it is not truly in line with the information given to them in the occult books. An understanding of what I have said will lead the earnest student to a more practical application of his attitude to the centers, and also to a fixed endeavor to make his sphere of radiatory activity more useful to his fellowmen. The reason for this will be that his attitude will express the quality of the subjective spirit and not the quality - hitherto rampant - of objective matter. Forget not that the etheric body is a material and substantial body, and is therefore an integral part of the physical plane; forget not that it is intended, first of all, to carry the energies of the emotional and of the mental plane in the unconscious experimental stage of incarnation; that it is also intended to carry the threefold energies of the soul in the stage of consciously gaining experience; and that also, as the antahkarana is built, it is intended to carry the energies of the Monad in the stage of consciously expressed divinity. See you, therefore, the beauty of the spiritual process, and the planned aid given to the sons of men at all stages of their return to the center from whence they came? [177] |
