Molecular Flow and Animals

A reader wanted me to give more light on the difference between humanity having a molecular connection vs. not having one and its effect on the animal kingdom.

I’ll attempt to paint a word picture to give a little more knowledge.

Humankind is at a midway point between the lower and higher lives in the universe. Within the universe itself human type lives compose its soul. As such they are the transmitters of life energy to the living kingdoms below human. As humanity progresses even so does the animal, vegetable and mineral progress.

It is an interesting esoteric fact that the animal and vegetable life cannot exist in any form except maybe a one celled life — without the presence of man. This presence does not have to be in the dense physical, but may be in higher etheric matter.

As a transmitting agent man sends intelligent force to the lower kingdoms that stimulates evolution until dense human forms are created.

After human forms are created in the dense physical and human intelligences incarnate therein the consciousness is focused downward for many incarnations and they are thus disconnected from the energy flow from the higher lives. This affects the kingdoms under man.

When the molecular order is created and humanity receives again its natural flow of energy, such energy will trickle down to the lower kingdoms. This overflow of molecular energy will not be obvious until the molecular link is secure and imperious to destruction. After the first human cell is created the lower kingdoms will then enjoy a noticeable effect.

Then will come the time that the lion shall lay down with the lamb and the earth will bring forth a natural abundance for the animals, and the survival of the fittest will no longer apply as it does today.

The vegetable kingdom will produce with great abundance. The molecular humans as a group will achieve a higher contact with the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, and will be able to direct their progression until the whole earth itself is transformed into a real Garden of Eden.

Animals & Nature

A reader gave the opinion that animals do best in nature and the more we help them the worse of they are.

He gave a different slant on animals in nature than I was leading to, but it was interesting and he directs us toward the truth that the closer we can get to nature the greater the benefits.

It is also interesting to correspond the animals in his account to people. As soon as they feel that someone will take care of them, they start getting lazy and lose the ability to take care of themselves.

His point in taking care of ourselves carries over into diet. In most cases everything we do to alter our food supply actually decreases the quality. Those into natural foods believe that the closer the food is to the natural state the more nutritious it is and the more trace elements. Wild berries are better than cultivated ones. The same with wild herbs. Some wild ginseng is so rare and potent that it glows in the dark and is worth thousands of dollars an ounce.

When I said that nature often doesn’t take that good of care of its own, I didn’t mean that nature doesn’t supply the most nutritious ingredients, but nature’s harvest is often in short supply. Wild animals often starve or freeze to death in the winter or get burned in forest fires in the summer. Either way the suffering is intense and makes one feel sorry for them.

Djwahl Khul once said that the human kingdom will be the savior of the animal kingdom. This idea runs totally contrary to the views of many modern environmentalists many of whom see humanity as a virus that needs to be eliminated.

On the other hand, humanity is a part of nature and I think we will eventually achieve correct balance with our environment. When this is achieved, we will assist the animals in a natural way so they will be able to lead carefree lives in relative abundance with much less pain and suffering than is now the case.

I raised chickens and pigs when I was a teenager. My chickens were truly free range and ate lots of bugs and grass but had no trouble gorging themselves on any grains I gave them. The pigs I raised would eat just about anything that’s organic. When I was first married, I got a goat to mow our lawn. That was a good deal for me. I got out of mowing the lawn and got some goat milk in return. She loved grass, but would certainly wolf down any grain I would feed her.

On the other hand, I have no trouble in believing that an animal totally dependent on nature will prefer the natural foods.

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. – William Hazlitt

True Libertarians

A reader brought up a libertarian test and thought I scored rather high.

Actually, I scored on the low end of the libertarian category. I think it was a 92. To score any higher I don’t think you’d be a libertarian, but an anarchist. That’s one of the problems with Libertarians is there is a disagreement as to what a pure one is. Probably most would agree on about 80% of the principles but it’s the other 20% that divides them. Some want no laws or restrictions at all while others, like myself, believe that a certain amount of structure is necessary to insure maximum liberty.

Many Libertarians are also very anti-war, but sometimes war is necessary to insure maximum liberty – such as World War II for instance.

When working for constructive change the laborer must look at what can be done, with the realization that the ideal in which he believes may not be achievable in one or even two or three steps. The leader must look at what the will of the people will accept and take his steps with that in mind.

Next he asked if I think we should shun all welfare since most libertarians lean that direction.

The idea is this. People should never be forced to do that which is good. Maximum freedom while maintaining civil structure is always the goal on the side of right.

At present welfare and many entitlements, which are looked upon by many as good and benevolent, are supported by funds extracted by force. That is Big Brother takes from those who it deems is not doing enough good works with their money and giving it to help the so-called disadvantaged.

While it is good to help the disadvantaged the error or forcing people to do good is a much greater evil than the resulting good.

Should we shun all welfare then?

The answer is no. We should of our own free will work for the welfare of others to the greatest degree possible. In the ideal world, or the true Zion, the people would be caring enough so there would be no poor among them. This could happen through free will offerings and sharing rather than forcing citizens to do good.

Perhaps he was wondering if we should shun all participation in the current system. The answer is if one is down and out he must take help that is legal wherever he can find it. Even if one doesn’t agree with the system he is in, but has to contribute to it when he has the means and that is all that is available for assistance, then he has a right to take or receive the benefits of the system.

I think the Medicare system is inefficient and needs to be replaced with something better, but I will still sign up for it. It is better to get 25 cents for a tax dollar spent than nothing at all.

Some think the system cannot be changed, but it’s has been changed in the past for both good and evil. Therefore, it can be changed in the future. We can be agents of change for the better but we must be practical and work at what can be done, not a dream that cannot be accomplished in the immediate future.

Every organization that is not molecular will live and die. This means that every government on the earth has its days numbered. When the lights see that the days of a government are at an end then they must prepare for the next round of evolution.

The government of the United States could end in 20 years or it could continue another couple hundred largely depending on the course we take in the rising generation. The essence of the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution will live on no matter what happens. Now that generations have had a taste of true freedom it is embedded in the human spirit and will not die.

Even if our nation, or the nations of the world, were to collapse, freedom would be reborn, for the seed is in the human heart, never to be destroyed.

The Death Star

A reader pointed out that a white dwarf could go supernova in the star system of T Pyxidis and some scientists think that this could create havoc here on the earth. He wondered if we could use astrology to predict when this may happen.

First I have two pieces of good news. Not included in most articles about T Pyxidis is the fact that most scientists think that if this system should go Nova that it will probably be millions of years in the future. There will be smaller bursts of energy between now and then that should not cause much damage.

Secondly here is some more information from Wikipedia:

“Because of its relatively close distance, some contend that a T Pyxidis supernova could have a significant impact on Earth. The received gamma radiation would equal the total (all spectra) radiation of approximately 1000 solar flares, and would severely damage the ozone layer. The X-radiation that reaches Earth, however, would be less than the X-radiation of a single average solar flare. However, Dr. Sion’s calculations were challenged by Prof. Alex Fillipenko who said that Sion had possibly miscalculated the damage that could be caused by a T Pyxidis supernova. He had used data for a far more deadly gamma-ray burst (GRB) exploding 3,260 light-years from Earth, not a supernova, and T Pyxidis certainly isn’t expected to produce a GRB. According to an another expert, ‘A supernova would have to be 10 times closer [to Earth] to do the damage described.’”

Whew! We may miss a bullet on that one.

As far as using astrology for predicting what this may do — that is not likely.

Outside of objects in our solar system generally only twelve constellations of the Zodiac are used. These twelve signs each represent 30 degrees of the skyline or the whole 360 degrees altogether. T Pyxidis would thus be located in the region of Cancer.

A handful of astrologers have attempted to use various stars and other constellations in their calculations but the number of objects and sectors now in use is already so great that that the variables are mind boggling — making it a very difficult art to perfect as it is.

Astrology is a little like playing the guitar. It is easy to play a few chords but very difficult to master it.

If a person had a history of the cycles of the stars and supernovas over a billion years or so then a supercomputer may be able to calculate the appearance of supernova and other events.

On the other hand, let us suppose that that T Pyxidis exploded yesterday. We wouldn’t know about it or be affected for 3260 years. BUT, since refined substance and thought and travel faster than light the higher lives would know what is coming from space thousands of years in advance. It is entirely possible that the lives of planets and the sun itself could pick up the nova the moment it happens and their movement and cycles could be influenced. The Masters would probably know of the danger and seek to prepare humanity for the event.

Molecular Politics

The name of my next book will be “Molecular Politics – Fixing America.”

That’s an odd name for a book. What is the meaning of it and why did I use the term?

Before I answer that let me ask this question. When you hear the mere mention of the word “politics,” what images come to your mind?

Perhaps it is one or more of the following:

  Conservatives and liberals arguing on radio or television.

  Angry crowds marching in the streets.

  Politicians insulting each other on Capitol Hill.

  Dishonest and corrupt politicians.

  Politicians taking our money through taxation and then spending it on pet projects that infuriate us.

  Wars we do not support.

  Legislation we do not like.

In other words, the key word that would sum up all that is political is “discord.”

On the other hand, what do we find when we examine the microcosmic world that makes up life itself? This life is composed of atoms, molecules, cells and our various organs. When we look at these components that make up human life, we see cooperating units that all function in such harmony that our human endeavors are put to shame by comparison.

Oxygen is to the cells in the human body like money is to us, or power is to politicians. It is an essential substance that keeps everything in motion and functioning. There is a huge difference, however, in the approach of our cells and human beings toward the two essential substances of oxygen, on one hand, and, money on the other.

The cells in our bodies are much more cooperative than are we. Each one takes what it needs and passes the rest along for the next one in line. Brain cells need a lot more oxygen than do the ones in the lungs, but they do not seem to mind brain cells having more, even though the lungs do the hard work of acquiring the oxygen to begin with. There seems to be a natural understanding among the cells that brain cells must have more oxygen to function properly, and, if the brain doesn’t work right, then the health of the whole is negatively affected.

There seems to be no correlation in the body to the power struggle in humans between the Left and the Right, conservatives or liberals, traditional and progressives, etc. Human bodies sometimes have diseased cells appear, but these are a very small minority; and, when they attack the body, the billions of cells unite to fight a common enemy.

It is an entirely different situation with human beings. Most of them never get enough money or power to be satisfied. An individual can have six homes, twelve cars, two yachts and still not be satisfied, feeling like he needs more. The politician can confiscate over half our income through taxation and still he doesn’t have enough. He stays awake nights thinking of new ways to tax us more, yet keep enough people happy to get re-elected.

In addition, most politicians are in a power struggle, not only against the competing party, but also within their own party. The most cherished power, though, is that which they exert over the lives of ordinary citizens. That power never seems to be enough. After laws, regulations and restrictions are passed, they are not content, but always want more control over citizens whether they are needed or not.

Now imagine the effect on the health of our body if the cells within us had a left and/or right power struggle as do modern politicians. Let us say that the cells on the left hated the cells on the right side of the body and visa versa. Now imagine that every time a breath was taken, each side of the body tried to take all the oxygen for itself. Now imagine one side succeeding in gaining control of most of the oxygen. What would happen to the body? For a while one side would be healthy and strong and the other withered, weak and gray with death. It would then not be long before the healthy side then suffered the same effect and the whole body would die.

The tiny lives in our body are smart enough to prevent this from happening. All their actions indicate an intelligent force guiding them that works toward health and abundance for the whole of the body, not just a part.

Why is it, then, that our tiny cells seem to be wiser than us human beings? Why is it that, instead of intelligently cooperating for the good of the country as a whole, in many cases we fight for our party, right or wrong?

Why is it that we humans, who are individually composed of billions of molecules and cells (which set the example for us), cannot accomplish that which supposedly inferior life forms do every day?

My response is that we can proceed as intelligently, or more so, than the cells. Cells and molecules have been here for billions of years and have learned to function in harmony long before us. We have only been here a short time, geologically speaking, and we are playing catch-up.

Is it possible that we are finally, as a race of humans, approaching a time where we can learn to live in harmony as is the case with the tiny lives that compose our very bodies?

Yes, I think the time is approaching, and we are lucky to be alive now to be a part of a great new beginning. To successfully launch that new beginning, we must look to the example set in the tiny cells and molecules in our bodies. As we seek to apply the principles illustrated there, we seek to apply molecular and cellular principles to that great body called humanity. As we apply these principles to politics, we are applying molecular principles.

Thus, we arrive at the very appropriate name we call “Molecular Politics.”

How will molecular politics play out differently than the politics of the past?

There is one core difference between the two. The actions of the microcosmic life that makes up our bodies are logical, make sense and are good for the health of the body. Therefore, true molecular politics support those actions that make sense and are good for the country as a whole.

Unfortunately, politics today is far from molecular for few things supported by our politicians make sense today. Now, a lot of items are controversial, but in addition an amazing number things supported by our politicians are seen as insane by the majority. Among them are:

  Overspending and running up the national debt to a dangerous state.

  Never ceasing to come up with more ways to raise taxes.

  Creating and passing bills up to 2000 pages long that no one has read and understood.

  Paying off a congressperson for his vote by throwing billions of dollars at his voting district.

  Pork barrel earmarks and spending.

  Demonizing the other party rather than seeking common ground.

  Attacking messengers rather than the message.

We could go on and on. In fact, at the end of this book, the reader will find 95 points where Congress is at odds with the majority of the people.

The main point is this: the tiny lives in our body, even though they do not have consciousness as we do, still follow the path of greater common sense. Humanity, as a whole, seems to be bent on the path of self-destruction. This is evidenced by history in that most governments do not last over a span of 200 years. The reason for this is that the politicians and decision-makers do not follow the path of common sense, and, more often than not, do not work for the good of the nation as a whole.

Amazingly, the United States has thrived for more than 200 years, but we are approaching a point of danger where those who preside over us are only looking out for themselves or their party rather than the people or the nation as a whole.

This must change.

The good news is that it can change. When a path of common sense is revealed, it is only a matter of time before the people will line up with it and support it.

Each chapter of this book contains common sense solutions. May they be studied and absorbed and may this Republic receive new strength from a new awareness — that it may thrive again.

(This book is now available at Amazon. Search there for “Molecular Politics – Fixing America” and it should come up.)

Books, Wayne and Hydrogen Peroxide

We were talking about books we have read and a reader made this comment:

“I noticed that you have read few books by Theosophists other then HPB, you read one by CW Leadbeater. I just wondered if there was any particular reason you have not read more of them, such as the Mahatma letters to AP Sinnett or books about the life of HPB, etc.”

JJ: I’m glad you jogged my memory on this. I have read the Mahatma Letters and a couple biographies on Madame Blavatsky.

I wasn’t that impressed with Leadbeater but may read more of him later to give him another chance. I really enjoyed the bios of HPB. She led quite an interesting life. I didn’t get a lot of light from the Mahatma Letters. I think DK has me spoiled. It is difficult to be impressed with anything else after studying him.

Even so, I have read quite a few books that are well written and present old ideas in a unique way.

The reader continued:

“I found after reading such books as the ‘Voice of the Silence’ by HPB and the Mahatma letters and the ‘Stanza’s of Dyan’ part of the ‘Secret Doctrine,’ my understanding of Alice A Bailey’s books became clearer and took on a whole new dimension! Why I can’t really explain, it just seemed to be more complete for me, like the early Theosophical literature gave a foundation.”

JJ: Any knowledge of Theosophy can only help with the whole picture. I read all or most of the Bailey books the first time before I read anything from Theosophy. A better understanding of the vocabulary and terms would have really helped, but I still got a lot out of them because DK deals so much with principles.

Another reader asks:

“Why did Wayne (my friend from the Immortal series) choose to leave the Earth when he did, or did he have to leave because he did not take care of his health?”

JJ: Wayne was very frustrated with his life and had been looking forward to going onward for some time. I believe the reason for this can be traced back to his marriage. Before he was married, he had the world by the tail and everything he touched turned to gold. After he married and divorced everything turned sour and he lost everything he owned. He blamed all this at first on his ex-wife and then on “the system.” He was always seeing this system as an outside force that was making life miserable for him. I think this shift in consciousness from very positive to negative was not part of his soul plan and if he could have stayed in greater harmony with the soul, he could have assisted me beyond measure. As it was, he was a great friend but was not in alignment with purpose and this was very frustrating to him causing him to relinquish himself to an early death.

I think he will rest and recuperate in the spirit world for a while before he comes back and then I suspect he will do much better in his next life.

From comments made it seems I need to clarify my view on good and evil as it plays out in our political world.

That which moves us forward in evolution is not what is labeled today as conservative, liberal or progressive. That which moves us forward is that which actually works and that can be either conservative, liberal or progressive.

A conservative does not necessarily take us backward in evolution and a liberal doesn’t always take us forward. It is the Middle Way that uses the best of both sides that moves us forward.

Let us say that you want to learn to speak Spanish and you decide to take a course of learning that spans three years. If all you did in the second year was to review and use that which you learned in the first year your progression would come to a stop. On the other hand, if you were progressive and spent your time studying the third-year materials you would miss the fundamentals of the second year and would make no progress either. Then, if you were liberal and ignored the learning of the past and just concentrated on the present, you would forget past learning and your progress would be stopped.

True progress into learning Spanish or the lessons in life involve keeping and reviewing the truths of the past while pursing the greater truths of the present and future.

 

Hydrogen Peroxide Results

A while back I told you I was going to try experimenting with food grade hydrogen peroxide and would tell you the results.

The program has you start with three drops a day of food grade 35% in a glass of water three times a day. You gradually increase the dose until you get to 25 drops three times a day. Then you stay at this until whatever ails you is gone. This is supposed to be a cure-all that cures everything from cancer to bad breath.

I didn’t have anything wrong with me as far as I knew, but did feel like I needed a tune up so I thought I would try it out.

When I started taking the stuff, I could feel an effect right away. Describing it is somewhat difficult. I guess I could say it felt like the acidity of my body was changing. As I increased the dosage the feeling grew. It is supposed to make the body more alkaline and after a while I almost felt like I was getting too much of a good thing.

Then when I was up to 12 drops, I got a cold, which surprised me because this stuff is supposed to kill all bad germs. It certainly felt like it should be killing any bug I had. At that point I quit the stuff and started a 7 day fast. This started reversing my cold and cough immediately. I’m now on my fifth day and seem to have it licked. I’m feeling pretty good outside of being hungry. I’m long overdue for a fast though. I usually fast for a week once or twice a year, but this time it has been a couple years.

My gut feeling about the Hydrogen Peroxide is this. I think several drops a day is a good tonic. Unless I had some major problem, I wouldn’t take large amounts.

Intelligent Selection

A reader presented the orthodox idea of natural section behind creation and evolution and wanted me to comment on it.

The problem with the orthodox idea is when you consider that natural selection as defined by the evolutionists takes place with no apparent intelligence or conscious choice involved. To the contrary I submit that for true evolution to occur consciousness and choice has to be present. Let me illustrate.

Two sandcastles are built by the sea. The first is a regular castle built of wet sand and the second has a paste added to reinforce its strength. The tide comes up and quickly washes away the first. The second survives the night.

The reason the second sandcastle survived was not that it made a choice; however, there was choice involved. Someone decided that he would make a better sandcastle.

In addition, the surviving castle has no power to duplicate itself. If a duplication occurs, it comes from a decision made by the builder to fashion more such sandcastles.

According to atheists’ evolution occurs with no intelligence at play, but without the application of intelligence an even more sturdy generation of sandcastles cannot occur.

On the other hand, atheists believe that improvements in form can occur with no decision or consciousness involved. The problem is that this cannot be demonstrated in the real world.

The intelligence of God permeates all time and space and this consciousness and intelligence is responsible for all evolution and improvement of form. In the process of evolution, the more appropriate forms survive and the ones ill equipped fade away, but both forms were created by intelligent choice.

The form which is useful in one age may not be in another.

Another reader made this comment:

“Scientist got very interested in observing an actual evolutionary genetic improvement. They watched for this now thru about 4,500 generations of fruit flies multiplied by many different family lines. They manipulated conditions using chemicals, radiation, environmental stimulus, and imposed selective breeding. They produced fruit flies with eyes so big they could not walk. They cataloged an impressive array of innovations stemming from the gene pool. Unfortunately, they never observed even one that could be considered an improvement.”

JJ: Earlier, I gave the analogy of two sandcastles. The only reason both castles exist was because of an intelligent hand that first created them.

Now living things are much more complex than sandcastles. Their form is held together by very complex computer programs. One point that makes them more advanced than current computers is that they can duplicate themselves. On our computers we have some fairly advanced programs, but there are two things we know for sure about them.

First, they did not program themselves. Secondly, they cannot duplicate themselves on their own initiative.

These two things require the addition of applied intelligence.

If we did give a program like Microsoft Word the ability to duplicate itself then it could not create a more advanced program than itself through natural selection. All duplicates would be of equal or lower quality than itself.

If we want a more advanced program then intelligence must be applied.

Similarly, the fruit fly has many complex programs that run it but these programs cannot write higher programs though the code may allow for changes as required by outward circumstances. If the need arises for a leap in evolution for the fruit fly, then some intelligence must step forward and design the change.

It boils down to this. Either nothing moves things forward to higher forms, or something does. Obviously, something does.

Unfortunately, this is not obvious to those of an atheist bent.

An interesting point to consider is this: The greatest miracle of all is that anything exists. If just one grain of sand existed in the universe it would be miraculous indeed. The miracle is multiplied many times over with the creation of many grains, planets star systems galaxies, and most of all the existence of conscious life and intelligence.

As creation moves along in its sequential order all form disappears into the great pralaya where it would seem nothing exists. Yet from that seemingly nothingness comes a new creation, new universes of being and becoming come together.

Does this creation come then from nothing? If not, then what was there between the universes?

What existed was cause and effect manifesting intelligence, the light of truth that was not created or made, neither indeed can be.

Both the interplay of cause and effect and the resulting intelligence are eternal. They are two things that just always exist – fortunately for us.

There was no first cause, else there will be a last cause. Intelligence and the power of decision are the eternal cause.

The fact that intelligence exists is the greatest miracle of all and about all we can do in appreciation of that and the fact that this conscious intelligence is also within us is exclaim with the ancients:

“How great the mystery of godliness!”

The most effective lies are never shouted. They’re whispered until they sound like common sense. – Julian Assange

Sanat Kumara
Lord of the World

Basically, most Bailey and Theosophical students see Sanat Kumara as the Lord of the World, the Planetary Logos, the head of the Council Chamber in Shamballa which represents the highest or head center of the planet.

Then too, many are familiar with this quote as to his origin:

It has been stated that one hundred and four Kumaras came from Venus to the Earth; literally the figure is one hundred and five, when the synthesising Unit, the Lord of the World Himself, is counted as one. Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 387

This event took place over 18 million years ago and this logos has been here assisting us ever since.

That information is a good start but there is much more. Let us look at some additional information given so we can form a more complete picture in our minds.

It is important to know that Sanat Kumara is not his true name but merely a hint of his real name. It is written:

The name Sanat Kumara is not His true name; it is only the first letter of that name which is known only to the Masters, whilst the second letter is known only to the Chohans.  The first syllable of His name is known in the Council Chamber at Shamballa, but the rest of His name remains unknown as yet. Rays and Initiations, Page 273

It is interesting that DK counts what students call the name “Sanat Kumara” as only one letter in his true name. It is also notable that sometimes a word esoterically consists of a thought, or many of our words, rather than one word.

So… even in Shamballa, only the first syllable of his true name is known.

What we do have of his name is the first letter – Sanat Kumara – which in the original Sanskrit means “Eternal Youth” or “Forever Young.” This thought, or meaning behind the name, represents the first esoteric letter

DK also says that Sanat has “many names” that are not of great importance. I think it is safe to assume that these are not his true names but names give to him by devotees. A few of these mentioned in the Bailey books are the Ancient of Days, The Lord of the World, the Youth of Endless Summers, the Light of Life itself, the Wondrous One, the Ancient One, Lord of Venusian Love, the great Kumara with the Flaming Sword, and the Peace of all the Earth.

We are also told that he is the “Planetary Logos,” but exactly what does that mean?

Every living body in the universe has a life within it. For instance, you are the life or logos within your physical body.  A planet is also a living entity occupied by an intelligent life called its Logos. Sanat Kumara is said to be the Planetary Logos of the earth since he came here over 18 million years ago.

Sanat is sometimes called the Planetary Logos, but he is more of a representative of the logos than the Logos itself. The planetary logos of the earth has been incarnated into it since its birth, billions of years ago.

Dk called this Planetary Logos the “Silent Watcher” and Sanat Kumara “His representative on the physical plane.”

“The ‘Silent Watcher,’ that great Entity Who is the informing life of the planet, and Who holds the same position to the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara, as the Ego does to the lower self of man.  Some idea of the high stage of evolution of this Great Being may be gathered from the analogous degree of evolutionary difference existing between a human being and a perfected adept.  From the standpoint of our planetary scheme, this Great Life has no greater, and He is, as far as we are concerned, a correspondence to the personal God of the Christian.  He works through His representative on the physical plane, Sanat Kumara, Who is the focal point for His life and energy.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 104

We are also told that the great lives, called Kumaras, working with Sanat “are in direct rapport with the Planetary Logos upon His own high plane, the cosmic mental plane; this great and Unknown Being uses Sanat Kumara as the soul uses a temporary personality when that personality is at an advanced stage of initiate consciousness.” Rays and Initiations, Page 206

The cosmic mental plane where the Logos is focused, is pretty high up compared to Sanat who is merely working on “perfecting the control of the fourth subplane on the cosmic astral plane, and has nearly completed it.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 291

Here we have a description of the Relationship of Sanat to the Planetary Logos:

“Sanat Kumara and His three pupils, having achieved the highest initiation possible in the last great cycle, but having as yet (from Their standpoint) another step to take, offered Themselves to the planetary Logos of Their Ray as “focal points” for His force, so that thereby He might hasten and perfect His plans on Earth within the cycle of manifestation.  They have demonstrated three out of the four methods.  They are overshadowed by the planetary Logos, and He works directly as the Initiator (in relation to man) through Sanat Kumara, and with the three kingdoms in nature through the three Buddhas of Activity.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 752

“He (Sanat) is a direct reflection of that great Entity who lives, and breathes, and functions through all the evolutions on this planet, holding all within His aura or magnetic sphere of influence.  In Him we live and move and have our being.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 28

While it is written that Sanat is the representative of the Planetary Logos it is also stressed that the oneness they share is so profound that it is as if they are one being for “so great is His command of energies and forces—owing to His cosmic unfoldment—that He requires the entire planet through which to express all that He is.” Esoteric Healing, Page 679

Because Sanat shares consciousness with the Planetary Logos he is often identified with the Logos itself and this produces some confusion.  DK seems to recognize this conundrum in saying, “Sanat Kumara is the planetary logos yet He is not.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 753

Sanat is thus here to take “another step” in his progression by being “overshadowed by the planetary Logos.” Sanat’s cooperation with the Planetary Logos is so complete that we live and move and have our being in and with both great entities simultaneously.

From our point of view Sanat is an extremely advanced being, but he is not the most advanced within Shamballa.

This quote sheds some enlightenment:

“Few of the great Lives Who form the inner group of the Council Chamber at Shamballa are now of greater advancement than he (Sanat); the “Supernal Three,” the “Radiant Seven,” the “Lives embodying the forty-nine Fires,” the “Buddhas of Activity,” and certain “Eternal Spirits” from such centres of dynamic spiritual life as Sirius, or from the constellation which at any one time forms a triangle with our Sun and Sirius” and a Representative from Venus are of greater—far greater—advancement.” Rays and Initiations, Pages 141-142

Apparently, the Council Chamber at Shamballa is more diverse than many realize, including entities from other star systems, and there are a number more advanced than Sanat, including the Three Buddhas of Activity which are said to be his pupils. Even though they are more ancient than himself they came here because of certain lessons to be learned and since then we are told that “Sanat Kumara has now moved one step ahead of Them upon the great cosmic ladder of evolution.” Rays and Initiations, Page 268

We are told that Sanat came from Venus, but this was not the Venus we see with our telescopes. The Venus he came from is in its fifth round which means it is composed of etheric matter invisible to normal humans.

As mentioned, he represents the Logos of the earth but in totality, he has a much vaster mission. We are told that he is “The Planetary Logos of our earth scheme.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 28

Being or representing the Logos of an entire scheme is a much bigger deal than just being over one planet. Remember a scheme is composed of seven chains and each chain has seven globes. This means during the life of a solar system in total he will preside over a total of 49 planets seven of which will be physical like the earth now is.

Concerning his origin from Venus we are told this:

“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;” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 371

This Venus chain is a part of the Earth Scheme which means he presides over both of them.  He arrived on earth in our second globe which was a time before this physical earth existed, but what makes his presence here significant is that he has actually incarnated on this planet, which is apparently a very unusual step for such a high being.

This incarnation happened only recently in the history of the Earth Scheme, but long ago as far as we are concerned.

“He took form and came to our planet eighteen million years ago… Sanat Kumara and His Pupils are in physical form, but have not taken dense physical bodies.  They work on the vital etheric levels, and dwell in etheric bodies.”      Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Pages 211 & 753

DK tells us that Sanat Kumara, while being “The Planetary Logos of our earth scheme (is) one of the Seven Spirits before the throne.” Inititiation Human and Solar, Page 28

This  statement that Sanat Kumara is “one of the Seven Spirits before the throne,” is very mysterious indeed.

This is interesting because the seven spirits before the throne preside over the seven sacred planets, of which the earth is not one. Therefore, as one of the seven, Sanat would not only represent the planetary logos of the earth, but one of the sacred planets as well which would be his true home in this solar system.

Which planet would that be? DK says he cannot tell us:

“Sanat Kumara alone, in this scheme, is self-sustaining and self-sufficient, being the physical incarnation of one of the Planetary Logoi, which one it is not permissible to state, as this fact is one of the secrets of initiation. Initiation Human and Solar, Page 39

Many just assume he is the incarnation of the planetary logos of the earth but DK tells us he is one of the seven spirits that preside over the seven sacred planets, but he does not have permission to tell us which one.

Actually, I think it is pretty obvious which sacred planet is his.

We are told that Sanat is on the third ray of active intelligence, as well as the earth. Which of the sacred planets is also on the third ray?

That would be Saturn.

“Both the Earth and Saturn (one a non-sacred and one a sacred planet) are exponents or expressions of the third Ray of Active Intelligence.” Esoteric Astrology, Page 189

Which makes this quote of interest:

“Venus, Earth and Saturn form one triangle of great interest.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 181

The Bailey writings tell us that Sanat has a close relationship with Venus and the Earth, but hesitates to tell us his main point of origin as a Planetary Logos. Evidence points to Saturn since it completes the triangle.

In addition, we have this:

“The same conditions which blend the Law of Sacrifice with pain and sorrow and difficulty are found also on the planet Mars and on the planet Saturn. They are not found on the other planets.” Esoteric Psychology, Vol 2, Page 98

Saturn is the only sacred planet which has the aspects of pain and sorrow as does the Earth. All hints given point to Saturn as his main abode.

It is interesting that the cause of pain is linked to resistance or rebellion and Sanat is seen by students as the divine rebel, but a rebel with a good cause, for it is written:

“Under this Law of Sacrifice, Sanat Kumara (to express the idea in occult terms) ‘must turn His back upon the Central Spiritual Sun, and with the light of His Countenance irradiate the path of the prisoners of the planet.’ He sentences Himself to stay for as long as may be needed, “acting as the Sun and light of the planet until the Day be with us and the night of pralaya descends upon His finished task.” Thus and only thus can the light of the Central Spiritual Sun begin to penetrate the dark places of the Earth; when this happens all ‘shadows disappear.’” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 287

We are told that we are the prisoners of the planet and Sanat is committed to work with us “until the last weary pilgrim has found his way home.”

Sanat Kumara presently dwells in Shamballa working invisibly behind the scenes, but we are told that the day will come when he will manifest himself to us, but first the Christ and the spiritual hierarchy must complete their work with humanity.

“Its (the Hierarchy) recognised appearance will later set the stage for the needed preparatory phases which will finally lead to the exoteric rule of the Lord of the World, emerging from His aeonial seclusion in Shamballa, and coming forth into outer expression at the end of this world cycle.” Rays and Initiations, Page 462

That will indeed be an interesting experience for humanity.

Prana, The Breath of Life

Prana is generally thought of as the vital life force that originates from the sun, assimilated by the earth and distributed to all living things giving them the vital force to thrive.

Actually, it is a much more universal force than commonly assumed, for DK says this:

“Prana might be defined as the life-essence of every plane in the sevenfold area which we call the cosmic physical plane. It is the LIFE of the planetary Logos, reduced within limits, animating, vivifying and correlating all the seven planes (in reality the seven subplanes of the cosmic physical plane) and all that is to be found within and upon them.”      Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, Pages 154-155

Instead of merely being a force that enhances physical life, DK tells us here that it is “the life-essence… (of all) the seven subplanes of the cosmic physical plane.”

Thus we can assume that prana not only sustains life on earth, but even in the realm of the soul and higher.

He calls it “The Life Principle, the breath of Life.” Initiation, Human and Solar, Page 222

Even though prana represents the life force on all seven planes of our existence, most of what is revealed about it concerns the physical plane and it is here we will focus.

And remember when DK speaks of the physical plane he includes not just the physical we can see, but also the four planes of etheric matter.

In fact, prana has little to do with the physical body we can see but circulates through our etheric double which we cannot normally see.

He says, “prana which is an aspect of the energy composing the etheric body.” Rays and Initiations, Pg 352

Prana not only composes the etheric double of our physical bodies, but “is that substance of which the vital body of the planet is made.” Esoteric Healing, Page 287

You might say that the prana that reaches us is prana at its lowest concretized level. But then DK names a corresponding aspect of prana that is lower still. He speaks of “crystallised prana of the financial world (that is) turned to the helping of mankind.” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 337

Indeed, when you think about it, the positive use of money sustains a flow of energy that enhances life on the planet. If all money were to disappear tomorrow life would come to a standstill.

But as it pertains to our physical life he says this:

“Prana, therefore, which is active radiatory heat, varies in vibration and quality according to the receiving Entity.  Man passes the prana through his etheric vehicle, colors it with his own peculiar quality, and so transmits it to the lesser lives that make up his little system.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 102

If that receiving and transmitting process is fluid without friction and blockages the person will enjoy good health, but if not, many problems can occur.

DK says this: “The ills of the flesh are unknown to the man who absorbs and distributes prana with accuracy.  This hint is recommended to all physicians, and when properly comprehended, will result in a basic change in medicine, from a curative to a preventive foundation.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 123

We receive prana directly from the sun as well as from the earth. We receive it directly from the sun through two centers:

“The main centre for the reception of prana at present is a centre between the shoulder blades.  Another has been allowed to become partially dormant in man through the abuses of so-called civilisation, and is situated slightly above the solar plexus.  In the coming rootrace, and increasingly in this, the necessity for the exposure of these two centres to the rays of the sun, will be appreciated, with a corresponding improvement in physical vitality and adaptability.”      Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 98

He tells us that because of clothing and shelter that most of humanity are stunted at receiving this powerful solar prana though these two centers. Exposure of the skin to the right amount of sunshine has many health benefits.

He further explains that it is essential to keep our spleen and spine in good shape to insure good distribution of prana once received:

“In the etheric body, which is an exact replica of its denser counterpart, we have the organ of active or radiatory fire, and, as is well known, the vehicle of prana.  Its function is to store up the rays of radiatory light and heat which are secured from the sun, and to transmit them, via the spleen, to all parts of the physical body.  Hence in the future it will come to be recognised that the spine and the spleen are of the utmost importance to the physical well-being of man, and that when the spinal column is duly adjusted and aligned, and when the spleen is freed from congestion and in a healthy condition, there will be little trouble in the dense physical body.”     Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 57

Correct focus on breathing enhances the reception and prana and promotes health, but rather than concentrate on the physical aspect of breathing it is important to sustain thought behind it:

“The power and subtlety of the pranayama (breathing) process lies in the potency of the thought behind the act of breathing and not at all really in the inflation and deflation of the torso. The whole thing is summed up in the aphorism, ‘Energy follows thought.’” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 1, Page 356

Much of the prana we receive is through our food supply so it is of great importance to be wise in our choice of what we consume. It is important to choose our food from sources not polluted with chemicals and to consume food as close to the harvest as possible and raw in many cases. Plants will lose prana shortly after harvesting.

One way to receive maximum prana from the plant kingdom is to grown your own sprouts, for a healthy sprouted seed maintains a high level of prana.

These are a few helpful comments on prana, but there is much more written in the Bailey books and Theosophical literature for those seeking an in depth understanding.

To return to the source, follow the breath; it leads to the root of being. – Lao Tzu

The Planes

A basic knowledge of the planes widely discussed in the Alice A. Bailey books should be very helpful for new students and some not so new.

Perhaps the most important phrase to understand in relation to the planes is that which is called “The Cosmic Physical.”

The Cosmic Physical Plane consists of seven subplanes, of which, the universe we can perceive with our senses is merely one, and the lowest at that.

Beginning at the lowest and going to the highest they are:

[1] The dense physical. We can perceive part of this through our senses.

[2] The astral – or the emotional plane

[3] The plane of the mind

[4] The Buddhic where the intuition dominates.

[5] The atmic, the plane of divine ideas

[6] The monadic which links us to our Source.

[7] The plane of Adi, the highest in the Cosmic Physical. This is also called the atomic plane, the divine or divine space.

Whereas the monadic corresponds to the stars we see in the sky the adi is the divine space that gives birth to them.

Each of the seven planes of the Cosmic Physical has an additional seven subplanes.

The first of the planes is the physical, the one in which we currently dwell. The average person is only aware of three subplanes which are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. Beyond these are four additional subplanes made of etheric substance, not normally visible to us. DK says this about them:

“In addition there are four subtler planes, or rather four different types of ether. These four are co-existent with each of the three well known subplanes, and interpenetrate them.  The physical body of man is no exception. It, too, has its etheric counterpart, its etheric body. This is positive, while the dense physical body is negative. The etheric body is the cohesive factor, and maintains the physical body in life and being.” The Soul and Its Mechanism, Page 58

“The etheric body is formed of the four highest or etheric subplanes of the physical plane.” Initiation, Human and Solar, Page 218

This invisible etheric double of the body that we see is considered our true physical body whereas the one we see is not considered real for he says:

“The physical body, therefore, is not a principle.  It is conditioned and does not condition—a point oft forgotten.” Esoteric Healing, Page 190

He further applies this point to all matter that we see:

“Dense matter is not a principle; it is only that which is responsive to the creative principle.” Externalisation of the Hierarchy, Page 673

Etheric counterparts of our physical bodies are composed of the four grades of etheric matter and as the disciples progresses toward spirit the body moves from the lower to the higher. The higher the grade of etheric matter the fewer are the barriers between the seeker and the Spirit.

The second plane, the astral-emotional, is also composed of seven subplanes of matter. This astral body generates the various emotional feelings that we experience.  It is the task of the disciple to create an astral body made of the matter of the higher subplanes for those subject to control of the lower emotions of hate, jealousy, revenge etc vitalize the lower subplanes and allow the aspirants little control over their lives. By focusing on the positive feelings of life the aspirant builds a healthy emotional body that opens the door to higher contact.

The plane of the mind also has seven subplanes but there is a significant difference between the upper three and lower four to the extent that they could be viewed as two different planes.

The lower four represent the lower mind. Average humanity functions in this. As the entity progresses in thinking and education he or she moves from the lowest of the four to the highest, but as long as he remains stuck in these lower four for he is subject to “the mind slaying the real.”

For instance, he may be highly educated and have degrees but cannot accept that there are unseen worlds and advanced intelligence behind creation. He only relies on what can be perceived through the physical senses or felt with the emotional body.

After many lifetimes of trial and error he finally begins to access the higher mind, or the highest three subplanes. Here he can see many things that are true that cannot be proven by material science or found in standard religion. He also gains the ability to use true reason to separate the true from the false.

Focusing on the higher mind then opens the door to the higher planes, each of which have seven subplanes.

These seven planes in total are merely seven subplanes of something greater still called the Cosmic Physical.

It bogles the minds of some students that our whole reality of the physical and non-physical worlds about us are just reflections of a much higher reality. All that the highest of us can perceive or understand is merely the lowest plane in a higher reality that DK prefaces with the word “cosmic.”

All humans on this planet have a consciousness that cannot go beyond the subplanes of the Cosmic Physical.  But above the Cosmic Physical are six additional planes – the cosmic astral, mental, buddhic, atmic, monadic and divine.

Our seven subplanes are merely reflections of these higher planes.

Only those who have moved beyond the seven initiations on this planet have moved beyond the Cosmic Physical. Concerning our solar logos this is written:

“His physical solar system, is polarised in His cosmic astral, or emotional body, and is developing cosmic mind.” Letters on Occult Meditation, Page 52

It is mind expanding to know of the existence of higher realms but such knowledge should not distract us from focusing on where we are now so we can take our next step. Each seeker needs to purify the physical and emotional bodies while seeking to raise consciousness to the higher three planes of the mind that opens the door to all higher contact.

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. – Marcus Aurelius

The Permanent Atom

A permanent atom is not the atom of the physicist, but it is similar in that it is a basic unit behind creation. It is a tiny center of force that draws to it all the elements needed for creation in the worlds of form.

Our DNA which contains the programming and memory of our physical bodies is perhaps the closest science has come to discovering it.

Another correspondence is a seed which has the ability to create the entire plant.

A permanent atom is a center of force, beyond the realm of physical perception, that has the ability to store all knowledge of form building within its plane.

We carry the programming with us from life to life, for they enable us to create the forms necessary for incarnation. DK says this:

“By means of these permanent atoms the Ego, according to its state of evolution can construct his lunar bodies (physical bodies), acquire knowledge on the lower three planes.” …  “It is that which is the basis of form-building.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Pages 761 & 527

When reading the Bailey writings, it often sounds like there are only five permanent atoms, one for each of the lower five planes. But then DK clarifies and tells us that there are “six permanent atoms . . . physical, astral, two mental, buddhic and atmic.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 535

It is helpful here that he clarifies that there are two permanent atoms on the plane of the mind, as the writings often make it sound like there is only one on that plane.

Concerning their shape DK tells us that they are “definitely spheroidal and are slightly flattened at the top, where the correspondence to the polar depression may be found, and equally flattened at the under surface.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 531

All but the mental have seven streams of force called spirillae which are linked to the seven planes as well as the seven rays. These spirillae when activated link our consciousness to higher planes.

The lower permanent atom on the mental plane has no active spirillae and is linked to the lower mind. The higher one has four spirillae and is linked to our higher self or the planes of atma-buddha manas.

As we move from life to life the permanent atoms go with us and retain for the average person the memory of past physical bodies and emotional feelings. Thus a physical affliction or emotional trauma may resume some of their effects in numerous lives.

This is not the case with the lower mind which has no active spirillae. Because of this our memories of past lives are not carried over into future lives until the higher mind is accessed. We are thus born with a blank slate as far as the lower mind goes. Not only is the memory affected but the entity is unable to access the realm of pure reason and is thus subject to many mental errors. DK adds this:

“The mental is not a septenary permanent atom, but only responds to four types of force, and not to the entire range of vibrations.  Herein lies a reason for tolerance.  Until a man is coming consciously under the control of the Ego and is beginning to sense the vibration of the manasic (higher mental) permanent atom, it is useless to expect him to respond to certain ideals, or to grasp certain aspects of truth.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 530

The unenlightened person is thus under a great handicap of being unable to “respond to certain ideals, or to grasp certain aspects of truth.”

This explains why, when you present spiritual ideals and teachings to one focused in the lower mind, that he is completely unable to comprehend them. He must first access the higher mind with its four spirillae.

The question that may arise is where are these permanent atoms?

In each plane of existence there are seven subplans and the permanent atoms are in the highest subplane with which they are associated. The only exception is the lower mind. Instead of the seventh from the bottom it is the third, but still the highest available to the lower mind.

Most of humanity is limited to being connected to the three lower permanent atoms which are the physical, the astral/emotional and the lower mental. These atoms are located in the inner round of three petals within the causal body. These are the last to unfold for the disciple. Dk says this:

“At the base of the lotus petals are the three points of light which mark the position of the permanent atoms.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 762

“The three permanent atoms are enclosed within the lotus, and are seen by the clairvoyant as three points of light in the lower part of the bud, beneath the central portion.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 709

The permanent atoms are the means to cause us to attain individuality and feel separate from other entities.

“Surrounding these three atoms is the causal sheath, answering the following purposes:  It separates one unit of egoic consciousness from another unit of consciousness.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 507

These three permanent atoms circulate around their center – the jewel in the lotus – similarly to the planets circulating around the sun. In fact, the sun is a higher correspondence of the physical permanent atom.

“The Sun, which is in an occult sense the physical permanent atom; it, therefore, attracts, and holds attracted, all within its sphere of influence, thus producing the logoic physical body.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 1180

The innermost permanent atom is the physical and this corresponds to Saturn. Further away is the astral and this corresponds to Uranus. Finally, the lower mental is the furthest and this corresponds to Neptune. (See Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 406)

For many ages the pilgrim is linked to his causal body and the three permanent atoms within it

Finally he reaches the point where he “knows that the lower mind, the mental body, is also an illusion and is, for him, non-existent.” Rays and Initiations, Page 481

At this point his attention shifts from the lower triad to the higher which are the atma-buddha manas where he relies in the intuition to access higher knowledge.

At this point it is said that the causal body along with the permanent atoms are destroyed. Rather than being destroyed I believe that saying they are synthesized, or incorporated into the higher three to be the more accurate way to perceive it:

“At his transference into the spiritual kingdom, these three aspects – the mental body, the astral body, and the physical body – are synthesised into the higher by a dual process: His polarisation shifts from out of the lower three atoms into the Triadal atoms.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 526

Nothing is lost for when the lower three are no longer needed, all intelligence and history within them are absorbed into the higher three permanent atoms.

After this process of synthesis, the entity establishes a direct connection to his monad through this spiritual triad and becomes as the Prodigal Son who returns to his spiritual home.

The Antahkarana

Alice A. Bailey uses the word Antahkarana 347 times and Antaskarana 47. These both describe the same thing but are merely variations of spelling that appear in various writings.

The antahkarana is basically a connecting bridge between the higher and the lower. But higher and lower what may be the question.

Actually, it is the higher and lower of most any two realms of consciousness. The Bailey writings use it in association with linking the lower kingdoms with the human, the human (which is the fourth kingdom) with the Spiritual Hierarchy (which is the fifth kingdom) and then the Hierarchy with Shamballa (the sixth and seventh kingdoms. The antahkarana even extends to being a connective link between the disciples of the world who he calls The New Group of World Servers who are a link between humanity and the Spiritual Hierarchy.

“This New Group of World Servers is an aspect of the world antahkarana… and has produced a descent from the Hierarchy which meets and merges with the energies of the ascending group reflection.” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 204.

The antahkarana even applies to planetary links such as the Earth and Venus:

“Again, in a planetary sense – (the antahkarana) is a channel being built by collective man on this planet to its primary, Venus.” Esoteric Astrology, Page 684.

The antahkarana is often called a bridge and even a “rainbow bridge.” Why is the rainbow brought into the picture? Because the differentiation of the seven colors, or seven rays, must be synthesized into the one great white light for the bridge to be perfected.

The ultimate antahkarana, as far as we are concerned, is the building of the rainbow bridge between human entities and their monads, in other words, connecting us with our original Source.

“This “radiant rainbow bridge” unites the illumined personality, focused in the mind body, motivated by the love of the soul, with the Monad or with the One Life, and thus enables the divine manifesting Son of God to express the significance of the words: God is Love and God is a consuming Fire. This fire, energized by love, has burnt out all personality qualities, leaving only a purified instrument, colored by the soul ray and no longer necessitating the existence of a soul body. The personality has by this time completely Absorbed the soul, or to put it perhaps more accurately, both soul and personality have been fused and blended into one instrument for the use of the One Life.” The Rays and the Initiations, Page 262

Before this happens, one must first build several bridges in between such as between the emotional self and the mind.

“When man is polarized in his mental body, he begins to bridge the antahkarana. A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 1160

The next step up is the bridge between the lower and higher mind as the antahkarana is described as “The path, or bridge, between higher and lower mind, serving as a medium of communication between the two.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 215.

The soul dwells on the plane of the higher mind so this tells us that one of the aspects of the antahkarana is creating a bridge between the personality and the soul making soul contact possible.

Basically, one can say that the antahkarana is the scientific means of establishing soul contact and more.

The next step up uses the higher mind as the starting point for a bridge to still higher consciousness:

“The higher mind (being the lowest aspect of the Spiritual Triad) can be regarded as a door admitting the consciousness of the soul-infused personality into a higher realm of contact and awareness.” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 194

This higher contact involves access to the full Spiritual Trad: The antahkarana “is the link between the three higher worlds of spiritual being (Spiritual Triad) and the three lower worlds of human endeavor and experience.” (Physical, astral and lower mind) Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 1, Pages 70-71

So, what is the Spiritual Triad? A link to the Spiritual Triad means you have access to the three higher planes DK calls atma-buddhi-manas.  Atma is the sixth plane up from the physical, buddhi is the fifth and manas is the fourth. Atma is the realm of spiritual will and the source of divine ideas, buddhi to the true intuition and manas to the higher mind.

“There is no initiation for the disciple until he has begun consciously to build the antahkarana, thus bringing the Spiritual Triad and the mind as the highest aspect in the three worlds into a close relationship; later, he brings his physical brain into a position of a recording agent upon the physical plane, thus again demonstrating a clear alignment and a direct channel from the Spiritual Triad straight through to the brain via the antahkarana which has linked the higher mind and the lower.” Rays and Initiations, Page 442

Finally, when the disciple has established the antahkarana linking the Spiritual Triad to the lower personality he or she can take the final step in accessing the monad, the originating Source.

It may be helpful to note that most of the time in the Bailey writings, when the antahkarana is written, it is referring to the link between the lower self and the Spiritual Triad. The reader can pretty much assume this is the case unless the text indicates otherwise.

The whole process may be summed up as follows:

“It might be said that the whole goal of normal evolution is to bring humanity to the point where a direct line of contact is established between the personality and the Spiritual Triad, via the soul – or rather, through the medium of using the soul consciousness to achieve this awareness.” Rays & the Initiations,” Page 498
