A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Div. B - Manas as a Cosmic, Systemic and Human Factor
Third, the statement that the great Kumara or the One Initiator came to this planet from Venus is true in so far as it embodies the fact that He came to this dense planet (the fourth) in the fourth chain from that chain in our scheme which is called the "Venus" chain, and which is the second chain. He came via the second globe in our chain; His scarcely felt vibration was sensed (occultly) in the second round, but only in the third root-race of the fourth round did conditions permit of His physical incarnation and of His coming as the Avatar. Very reverently might it be said that the first three rounds and the two succeeding root-races in this chain correspond to the period prior to birth; and that His coming in the fourth round with the subsequent awakening of manas in the human units find their analogy in the awakening of the life principle in the unborn infant at the fourth month.

The analogy holds good, for a Heavenly Man at the end of the seventh round reaches full maturity, but requires the final process of rounding out and perfecting which He attains during the two final periods

  1. Of synthesis into the major three schemes.
  2. Of resolution into the final one;

making again - with reverence may it be said - the nine cycles which cover the gestation of a Heavenly Man, and which precede His birth into yet higher worlds. In this lies much food for thought, and much of moment [372] for the profound student. We might couple with these suggestions the recollection that we are speaking here only of the Logos of our own scheme, and must carefully differentiate other cycles for the other Logoi - a thing as yet impossible for us. As this is meditated upon and studied, the wonder and beauty of the plan will become apparent.

A clue to the idea of the final Avatar is likewise to be seen here. Many temporary incarnations precede this consummating one, which will be the incarnation wherein the Heavenly Man, in the full beauty of His completed seven cycles, and prior to His merging into His synthesizing goal, will demonstrate as the embodiment of that perfected quality, or logoic aspect, for which He primarily stands. As a center in the body logoic, He will be fully vitalized, and the logoic kundalini will have stimulated, and aroused to perfection His systemic Lotus. For a brief period He will shine forth radiant as the Sun in His glory; then the kundalinic fire will pass in higher progressive spirals, and He will gradually become centered in the corresponding logoic head center, the higher triangle or the major three schemes. To illustrate by means of a human being, the microcosm: Man attains a period of high development wherein his heart and throat center are perfected and vitalized; they become radiant whorls of fire, fourth dimensional in action, and allied with each other and with some other center; they become likewise the object of the attention of human kundalini. This is a period of great activity and magnetic usefulness. It is succeeded by still another, wherein the three head centers are synthesizing their seven minor correspondences, and the force of kundalini passes there. As above, so below.

I have especially mentioned these two centers in the microcosm as they are closely concerned (on a larger scale) with the particular cycles through which our [374] planetary Logos passes, and because they represent the third and second aspects.

We need to bear in mind that the stimulation of the centers is of three kinds, and the distinction between the three must be kept clear.

  • First, the vitalization of the logoic centers, or the pouring through the seven schemes, during stupendous cycles, of logoic kundalini.
  • Next, the vitalization of the planetary centers, or the pouring through the seven chains of a scheme, of planetary kundalini.
  • Finally, the vitalization of the centers of a planetary Logos during some particular major incarnation, or the pouring through the seven globes of a chain, of kundalini.
