3. Interplanetary Avatars. A very interesting
group of avatars is here to be found. They are mainly concerned with three things: first
with the superintendence of the transfer of force units or egoic groups from one
scheme to another (not with individual units from chain to chain). They appear usually
twice in the history of a scheme, and though unable to take physical bodies of grosser
material than those formed of atmic and the buddhic substance, they work with impulse in
mental matter and thus effect these group transfers. They Themselves are subdivided into
three groups:
Secondly, certain avatars from the fourth Creative Hierarchy, for esoteric and for us inexplicable reasons, leave Their Own Hierarchy, and appear in one or other of the deva Hierarchies. This happens only once in the history of each scheme and occurs at the time of its densest physical appearance, and has relation to the transference of deva impulse from one scheme to another. They are connected in this way with the appearance of the self-conscious units, being the primal embodiment of the latent self-consciousness of the atom of deva substance. They set the type for the devas of any particular scheme. Once in the history of each scheme, an avatar from the constellation Capricorn appears on mental levels. This level is the lowest one on which these interplanetary deities appear. No more can be communicated on this matter. "The mystery of the goat" lies hidden here. This avatar makes His appearance in the third round of the third chain, and disappears in the fifth round of the fourth chain. These interplanetary avatars come in, as the products of much earlier kalpas when systemic conditions are refined enough to permit of Their appearance. They are the nirmanakayas of an earlier solar cycle Who now again take the opportunity to effect (in an active sense and through physical manifestation) certain uncompleted work. |
