14. It should be noted that in this solar system the
following entities manifest through:
- One permanent atom - the physical.
- A solar
Logos.
- The three
major Rays, or Lords of Aspect.
- The seven
Heavenly Men.
- The
forty-nine Regents of the planetary chains.
Two
permanent atoms - the physical and the astral.
- The seven
Lords of the globes in every chain.
- The
forty-nine Root Manus.
- The
seventy-seven Embodiers of form - a group of solar Lords Who are concerned with form
building, working primarily on the first ray.
- Certain of
the Avatars, Who are selected by the Logos to carry a certain type of force at stated
intervals and thus further the evolution of the psyche.
Three
permanent atoms - physical, astral, and mental.
- The Lords of
the third Kingdom, the animal. They are seven Entities whose bodies are made up of animal
souls just as the Heavenly Men embody for man the Buddhic principle, so these lords embody
for the animal kingdom the manasic principle, which is the goal of the evolutionary
process for them.
- Certain
great entities who embody a whole range of existences upon five of the planets, of which
the earth is not one, but who in due course of time will come to be recognized as having a
powerful effect upon man on the earth, via the three Buddhas of Activity. A hint as to
this esoteric influence comes to man in the close connection existing between the Earth
and Mercury. As yet it is not possible to enlarge further.
- The entities
who are the sumtotal of those group souls who contain definite permanent triads. Nine
triads constitute the body of one of these entities.
Through
four permanent atoms - physical, astral, mental and buddhic.
- Eight groups
of solar Entities Who form the subjective life of the seven centers in the body of Brahma,
viewing Him as a separate cosmic Entity, [534] dissociated from His two brothers. They are
the seven Sons of Fohat, with the eighth Son included, and They are the final
differentiation of the forty-nine fires, prior to Their union with the fire of Eros. Thus
is it expressed by H. P. B. (S. D., I, 139, 144.)
- That Entity
Who works through the FORM of a planetary occult Hierarchy, using it as His body of
manifestation, and regarding it as the center through which His force can flow. It should
by remembered that all such groups on every planet form a vehicle for the life of a great
Individual Who gives to that Hierarchy its distinctive coloring and its unique keynote.
- A number of
solar Deities Who are the radiators of solar magnetism, and the life of form.
- A peculiar
group of Beings connected with a certain constellation and the lesser Dragon, who have
their habitat on Neptune and work with the sixth principle in the solar system. They take
physical form, animated by purified desire, controlled by mind, and are the dispensers of
love-wisdom by means of certain of the "Halls of Wisdom" on the various planets.
The words "Halls of Wisdom" in their esoteric significance describe a stage of
consciousness not a location.
Through
five permanent atoms - physical, astral, mental, buddhic and atmic.
- The Lords of
certain subplanes who work under the Raja-Lord of a plane and who are themselves vibration
and activity.
- The lesser
Heavenly Men on the buddhic level, Who reflect Their higher prototypes on the second plane
of the system.
- The entities
who are the sumtotal of group consciousness on egoic levels, remembering that these
groups are differentiated and are formed of aggregates of seven, until there are formed
forty-nine groups of seven egoic vehicles forming one group which is the body of this
lesser solar Deity. There is a multiplicity of these groups of forty-nine. This has been
somewhat stated before when it has been [535] announced that a Master with His particular
band of disciples and initiates form a group or force center. These groups have their
permanent atoms as do all lives seeking objective expression.
- The entities
who are the sumtotal of the vegetable kingdom in its diversity of manifestation in
different globes, chains and schemes.
Through
six permanent atoms - physical, astral, two mental, buddhic and atmic. - MAN.
All that is
here stated is an enlargement of the data given about the "Army of the Voice,"
(S. D, I, 121.) and an endeavor to show that many diverse lives (all embodying lesser
lives, or embodied in greater ones themselves) are to be found within the various schemes.
We have dealt only with those likewise which are superhuman or human, with those who have
been or are MEN. We have not dealt with the subhuman, or with the lunar lords or lesser
pitris, for their day is not yet, and they progress as the tide of evolution progresses,
unconsciously and not self-consciously, We have dealt with these entities and their
permanent atoms in connection with their manifestation in a solar system, and have not
carried it beyond the solar ring-pass-not. All the permanent atoms concern physical
matter and manifestation. The highest permanent atom of man, the atmic, is, after
all, an atom of the third cosmic ether, and this should be pondered upon and studied. We
have considered these various personalities (and the word 'personality' is chosen
deliberately, for what are They but personalities, or Beings, in physical incarnation?)
from the standpoint of Their lowest force point first. We have discussed the permanent
atom as a point of contact with the force of a plane, of a planet, of a chain, of a
scheme, or of a system. This should ever be borne in mind.
It is to be recognized that much that is written above [536] may seem incomprehensible,
but when scientists come to understand and regulate force, that which is written
here will become plainer; it will be seen that we have dealt with the positive force in
all negative forms above, and including the human kingdom. |
