2. The Work of the Atomic Units
- The seven Heavenly Men, considered in relation to the Entity of Whom the solar Logos is
a reflection, are as the seven centers in the physical body of a human being. This will be
realized as the correspondence between the cosmic physical plane and the systemic physical
plane is studied.
Three of these centers, therefore
- Concern the
lower centers of the cosmic Being.
- Have their
analogies on the dense, liquid and gaseous planes.
- Are at
present the object of the attention of cosmic, kundalini. [297]
One of these
centers corresponds to the solar plexus and is the synthesizer of the lower three, thus
making a quaternary.
The center
which is analogous to that at the base of the spine, or the reservoir of kundalini, has a
permanence which is not seen in the other two lower centers. The Heavenly Man Who embodies
this principle and is the source of generative heat to His Brothers, must be sought for by
the aid of the intuition. Concrete Mind will not here avail.
The three
higher centers, or the Heavenly Men Who correspond to the head, the heart and the throat
of the solar Logos, have Their etheric analogies on the three higher etheric levels of the
cosmic physical plane, just as the Heavenly Man Who embodies the logoic solar plexus finds
His manifesting source on the fourth etheric.
This
Heavenly Man, with His etheric vortex or wheel of force on the fourth cosmic ether, is in
this fourth round, a vital factor in planetary evolution.
When the
Heavenly Man, Who is at present demonstrating through the Earth scheme, has succeeded in
vitalizing His middle center, or in directing the force of planetary kundalini away from
the lower centers to the solar plexus center, a new cycle will be reached, and much of the
present distress will be ended. His work is as yet in an embryonic condition, and two and
a half more cycles must transpire before He has accomplished the necessary work. When that
is done, the result in connection with the human units in incarnation will be threefold:
- Sex
stimulation, as now understood, will be showing a tendency to manifest in creation, not so
much on the physical plane, as on the astral and mental, demonstrating in the creations of
art and beauty, and the objective work of the scientists.
- Crime, as
now seen, based largely on the sex emotion, [298] will be a thing of the past, and
physical plane license, orgy and horror will be reduced seventy-five per cent.
- The
interplay between the three dense physical planets will be perfected and man will pass at
will from on to another.
I would
here point out the inadvisability of the method whereby the names of the globes in a
chain, just as the names of a chain in a scheme, follow the planetary nomenclature. This
has led to confusion.
A clue tending towards the correct understanding lies hid in the words: "Venus is
the Earth's primary." (S.D., II, 33. I, 323.)
It is not
permissible to say much about this mystery, that "Venus is the Earth's
alter ego," nor is it advisable, but certain ideas may be suggested which - if
brooded on - may result in a wider grasp of the beauty of nature's synthesis, and of the
wonderful correlation of all that is in process of evolution.
Perhaps some idea may be gained if we remember that, in an occult sense, Venus is to
the Earth what the higher Self is to man.
The coming of the Lords of Flame to the Earth was all under law and not just an
accidental and fortunate happening; it was a planetary matter which finds its
correspondence in the connection between the mental unit and the manasic permanent atom.
Again, as the antahkarana is built by individual man between these two points, so - again
in a planetary sense - is a channel being built by collective man on this planet to its
primary, Venus.
In
connection with these two planets, it must be remembered that Venus is a sacred planet and
the Earth is not. This means that certain of the planets are to the Logos what the
permanent atoms are to man. They embody principles. Certain planets afford only temporary
[299] homes to these principles. Others persist throughout the mahamanvantara. Of these
Venus is one. |
