Mindy has gathered together quotes from members and Djwhal Khul [DK] on the last three words which were:
Fohat
Kali Guga
Lords of Flame
There is plenty of good information here without me adding anything.
"Fohat: Cosmic electricity; primordial light; the ever-present electrical energy; the universal propelling vital force; the ceaseless destructive and formative power; the synthesis of the many forms of electrical phenomena."
("Initiation, Human and Solar," Glossary on pg 218, by Alice A. Bailey)
"Akasha, in manifestation, expresses itself as Fohat, or divine Energy, and Fohat on the different planes is known as aether, air, fire, water, electricity, ether, prana and similar terms. It is the sumtotal of that which is active, animated, or vitalized, and of all that concerns itself with the adaptation of the form to the needs of the inner flame of life."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 44, by Alice A. Bailey)
"Fohat is divine thought or energy (Shakti) as manifested on any plane of the cosmos. It is the interplay between Spirit and matter. The seven differentiations of Fohat are:
"1. The Plane of divine life - Adi - Sea of fire.
"2. The Plane of monadic life - Anupadaka - Akasha.
"3. The Plane of spirit - Atma - Aether.
"4. The Plane of the intuition - Buddhi - Air.
"5. The Plane of mind - Mental - Fire.
"6. The Plane of desire - Astral - Astral Light.
"7. The Plane of density - Physical - Ether."("Secret Doctrine," I, pgs 105, 134, 135, 136, by H.P. Blavatsky)
"The fundamental fact that should here be emphasized is that AGNI, the Lord of Fire, rules over all the fire elementals and devas on the three planes of human evolution, the physical, the astral, and the mental, and rules over them not only on this planet, called the Earth, but on the three planes in all parts of the system. He is one of the seven Brothers (to use an expression familiar to students of the Secret Doctrine) Who each embody one of the seven principles, or Who are in Themselves the seven centers in the body of the cosmic Lord of Fire, called by H. P. B. 'Fohat.' He is that active fiery Intelligence, Who is the basis of the internal fires of the solar system. On each plane one of these Brothers holds sway, and the three elder Brothers (for always the three will be seen, and later the seven, who eventually merge into the primary three) rule on the first, third and the fifth planes, or on the plane of adi, of atma and of manas. It is urgent that we here remember that They are fire viewed in its third aspect, the fire of matter. In Their totality these seven Lords form the essence of the cosmic Lord, called in the occult books, Fohat."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 66, by Alice A. Bailey)
"In looking at the matter from the standpoint of fire the idea may be grasped a little through the realization that the latent fire of matter in the atom is brought into brilliance and usefulness by the action of the personality Ray which merges with this fire and stands in the same position to the permanent atom in the microcosm as Fohat does on the cosmic plane. The fire is there hidden within the sphere (whether the sphere systemic or the sphere atomic) and the personality Ray in the one case, and Fohat in the other, acts as the force which brings latency into activity and potentiality into demonstrated power. This correspondence should be thought out with care and judgment. Just as Fohat has to do with active manifestation or objectivity, so the personality Ray has to do with the third, or activity aspect in the microcosm. The work of the third aspect logoic was the arranging of the matter of the system so that eventually it could be built into form through the power of the second aspect. Thus the correspondence works out."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 72, by Alice A. Bailey)
"These major seven planes of our solar system being but the seven subplanes of the cosmic physical plane, we can consequently see the reason for the emphasis laid by H. P. B. upon the fact that matter and ether are synonymous terms and that this ether is found in some form or other on all the planes, and is but a gradation of cosmic atomic matter, called when undifferentiated mulaprakriti or primordial pregenetic substance, and when differentiated by Fohat (or the energizing Life, the third Logos or Brahma) it is termed prakriti, or matter."
("Secret Doctrine," I, 1, 87, 136, 731, 732, by H.P. Blavatsky)
"A solar Logos is distinguished by His responsiveness to outer stimulation. This concerns itself with:
"Electrical stimulation or His response to electrical fohatic force emanating from other stellar centers, and controlling largely the action of our system and its movements in space in relation to other constellations."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 256, by Alice A. Bailey)
"This is a great mystery and is allied to the mystery of electricity (or of fohatic life) which H. P. B. (S. D., I, 107) refers to. The Messengers, the Builders, the devas, are flaming fire, radiant electric matter, and only in time and space, only during manifestation and only through the cycles of objectivity, is such an entity as man possible, or can a Heavenly Man come into existence."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 402, by Alice A. Bailey)
"It is a Force, working through a dual manifestation of differentiated force, through the energy of matter, the coherency of forms, through force centers, and force points. It is FOHAT in triple demonstration, of which the final or third is as yet unknown and inconceivable."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 528, by Alice A. Bailey)
"Let us work this out in the Macrocosm and Microcosm:
"Fohat, Prana, Electricity, Magnetic Fluid, are all terms used for this one vitalizing life.
"The Microcosm is animated and vitalized by prana, and its actions controlled by the indwelling Thinker.
"The Macrocosm is animated and vitalized by Fohat; its actions are controlled by the informing Intelligence we call the Logos."
("The Theosophist, Vol. VII," p. 196)
"Agni is Fohat, the threefold Energy (emanating from the logoic Ego) which produces the solar system, the physical vehicle of the Logos, and animates the atoms of substance."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 160, by Alice A. Bailey)
"At the third initiation 'the secret of fohat' is given to him, and then the mystery of the threefold body of the triple Logos is his, and the why of the phenomena of the dense liquid and gaseous bodies of the Supreme Being is unfolded before his amazed vision."
("Initiation, Human and Solar," pg 170, by Alice A. Bailey)
"By a man's own unaided effort, which leads him in due course of time to find his own center of consciousness, to be guided and led by the inner ruler or Ego entirely, and to unravel, through strenuous effort and painful endeavor, the mystery of the universe, which is concealed in material substance energized by Fohat."
("Initiation, Human and Solar," pg 171, by Alice A. Bailey)
"Only the very strong refined physical body, the controlled stable and equalized emotional body and the properly striated mental body can enter into the subtler planes and literally work with Fohat...."
("Letters on Occult Meditation," pg 130, by Alice A. Bailey)
"The Path of Magnetic Work
"In referring to this Path, I have stated that Those Who find Their way on to this Path work with fohat, or with the essential energy of our solar system which differentiates into seven major types of energy."
("The Rays and the Initiations," pg 401, by Alice A. Bailey)
"The energies which utilize the akasha (ether) in the universe are divided into three main divisions according to the Ageless Wisdom.
"1. Fohat, is analogous to what the Christian regards as the spirit; it is the will-to-exist, the determining life principle of God, Who, we can predicate, is the sum total of all forms, and of all states of consciousness; it is divine Purpose, actively functioning."
("The Soul & Its Mechanism," pg 98, by Alice A. Bailey)
Ruth writes:
"The Breath of Life. The connecting electrical spiritual chord between the Intelligence in the One Universal Life and its reflections as it breathes outwards."
"'Fohat (Tibetan-Mongolian) [from Mon pho, fo buddha, buddhi] Cosmic life or vitality; in theosophy, bipolar cosmic vital electricity, equivalent to the light of the Logos, daiviprakriti, eros, the fiery whirlwind, etc. As the bridge between spirit and matter, fohat is the collectivity of intelligent forces through which cosmic ideation impresses itself upon substance, thus forming the various worlds of manifestation. In the manifested universe, it 'is that Occult, electric, vital power, which, under the Will of the Creative Logos, unites and brings together all forms, giving them the first impulse which becomes in time law. . . . Fohat becomes the propelling force, the active Power which causes the One to become Two and Three . . . then Fohat is transformed into that force which brings together the elemental atoms and makes them aggregate and combine.'"
("Secret Doctrine," 1:109, by H.P. Blavatsky)
"'There are many fohats working on the cosmic, terrestrial, and human planes. In the human constitution it corresponds to the pranas.'"

"This reminds me of Fohat, or how Fohat would work:"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_(Star_Trek)
"One day out of this long life of Brahma is called Kalpa; and a Kalpa is that portion of time which intervenes between one conjunction of all the planets on the horizon of Lanka, at the first point of Aries, and a subsequent similar conjunction. A Kalpa embraces the reign of fourteen Manus, and their sandhis (intervals); each Manu lying between two sandhis. Every Manu's rule contains seventy-one Maha Yugas, each Maha Yuga consists of four Yugas, viz., Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali; and the length of each of these four Yugas is respectively as the numbers, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
"The number of sidereal years embraced in the foregoing different periods are as follows:
"Mortal years:
"360 days of mortals make a year.
"Krita Yuga contains 1,728,000.
"Treta Yuga contains 1,296,000.
"Dwapara Yuga contains 864,000.
"Kali Yuga contains 432,000.
"The total of the said four Yugas constitute a Maha Yuga 4,320,000.
"Seventy-one of such Maha Yugas form the period of the reign of one Manu 306,720,000.
"The reign of 14 Manus embraces the duration of 994 Maha Yugas, which is equal to 4,294,080,000.
"Add Sandhis; i.e., intervals between the reign of each Manu, which amount to 6.
"Maha Yugas, equal to 25,920,000.
"The total of these reigns and interregnums of 14 Manus, is 1,000 Maha Yugas, which constitute a Kalpa, i.e., one day of Brahma, equal to 4,320,000,000.
"As Brahma's night is of equal duration, one day and night of Brahma will contain 8,640,000,000.
"360 of such days and nights make one year of Brahma, equal to 3,110,400,000,000.
"100 of such years constitute the whole period of Brahma's age; i.e., Maha Kalpa 311,040,000,000,000.
"That these figures are not fanciful, but are founded upon astronomical facts, has been demonstrated by Mr. Davis, in an essay in the Asiatic Researches; and this receives further corroboration from the geological investigations and calculations made by Dr. Hunt, formerly President of the Anthropological Society, and also in some respects from the researches made by Professor Huxley. Great as the period of the Maha Kalpa seems to be, we are assured that thousands and thousands of millions of such Maha Kalpas have passed, and as many more are yet to come. (Vide Brahma-Vaivarta and Bhavishyre Puranas; and Linga Purana, ch. 171, verse 107) and this in plain language means that the Time past is infinite and the Time to come is equally infinite. The Universe is formed, dissolved, and reproduced, in an indeterminate succession (Bhagavad Gita, VIII, 19)."
("The Theosophist," Vol. VII, pg. 11-15)
Ruth:
"'Yuga' is an age or cycles. According to the Indian philosophy our evolution is divided into the four yugas or cycles. The Kali-yuga is the present age. It means the 'Black Age,' a period of 432,000 years."
"Kali Yuga (Kali is like the condensed form of matter or Mother within consciousness.)"
"Quote:
"'Kali (Sanskrit) The black; name of the seventh tongue of Agni, the fire god, which was a black fiery flame. Blackness and darkness have always been associated with the pre-cosmic night in its mystical sense, the pralaya preceding the awakening manifestations of life in the present universe. Hence kali represents pre-cosmic wisdom. By that strange inversion of fact which nature manifests nearly everywhere, the highest is reflected in the lowest as in a mirror, so that in this sense the black fiery flame is the condensed fiery magnetic vitality of the lowest material worlds; therefore in this sense kali often stands for wickedness and evil.'
"'Later, Kali or Kali-devi became a title of the wife of Siva, Parvati, because of her fierce and destructive nature.'"
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/ka.htm
Ruth:
"Yuga is like a cycle."
"Quote:
"'Yuga (Sanskrit) Age; an age of the world, of which there are four -- satya yuga, treta yuga, dvapara yuga, and kali yuga -- which proceed in succession during the manvantaric cycle. Each yuga is preceded by a period called in the Puranas, sandhya (twilight, transition period, dawn) and followed by another period of like duration often called sandhyansa (a portion of twilight). Each of these transition periods is one-tenth of its yuga. The group of four yugas is first computed by the divine years or years of the gods -- each such year being equal to 360 years of mortal men.'
"'All races have their own cycles, which fact causes a great difference. For instance, the Fourth Sub-Race of the Atlanteans was in its Kali-Yug, when destroyed, whereas the Fifth was in its Satya or Krita Yuga. The Aryan Race is now in its Kali Yuga, and will continue to be in it for 427,000 years longer, while various 'family Races,' called the Semitic, Hamitic, etc., are in their own special cycles. The forthcoming 6th Sub Race -- which may begin very soon -- will be in its Satya (golden) age while we reap the fruit of iniquity in our Kali Yuga.'"
("Secret Doctrine," 2:147, by H.P. Blavatsky)
"'The four yugas refer to any root-race, although indeed a root-race from its individual beginning to its individual ending is about double the length of the great yuga as set forth in the above chart. The racial yugas, however, overlap because each new great race is born at about the middle period of the parent race, although the individual length of any one race is as above stated. Thus it is that by the overlapping of the races, a race and its succeeding race may for a long time be contemporaneous on the face of the globe.'
"'As the four yugas are a reflection in human history of what takes place in the evolution of the earth itself, and also of the planetary chain, the same scheme of yugas applies on larger scales: there exist the four yugas in the time periods of the evolution of a planetary chain, as well as in the general time period of a globe manvantara. These cosmic yugas are very much longer than the racial yugas, but the same general scheme of 4, 3, 2 applies throughout.'
"'The sacredness of the cycle of 4320, with additional cyphers, lies in the fact that the figures which compose it, taken separately or joined in various combinations, are each and all symbolical of the greatest mysteries in Nature. Indeed, whether one takes the 4 separately, or the 3 by itself, or the two together making 7, or again the three added together and yielding 9, all these numbers have their application in the most sacred and occult things, and record the workings of Nature in her eternally periodical phenomena. They are never erring, perpetually recurring numbers, unveiling, to him who studies the secrets of Nature, a truly divine System, an intelligent plan in Cosmogony, which results in natural cosmic divisions of times, seasons, invisible influences, astronomical phenomena, with their action and reaction on terrestrial and even moral nature; on birth, death, and growth, on health and disease. All these natural events are based and depend upon cyclical processes in the Kosmos itself, producing periodic agencies which, acting from without, affect the Earth and all that lives and breathes on it, from one end to the other of any Manvantara. Causes and effects are esoteric, exoteric, and endexoteric, so to say. Yuga Purana {BCW 5:236}"
("Secret Doctrine," 2:73-4, by H.P. Blavatsky)
Ruth:
"Here is another slant from Vijay Kumar - 'Atma Jnani' on Kali Yuga:
http://www.godrealized.com/kaliyuga.html
"'The great chohans (Lords), called the Lords of the Moon, of the airy bodies 'Bring forth men, (they were told), men of your nature. Give them (i.e., the Jivas or Monads) their forms within. She (Mother Earth or Nature) will build coverings without (external bodies). (For) males-females will they be. Lords of the flame, also.'"
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sd/sd2-1-04.htm
"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."
("Esoteric Astrology," pg 684, by Alice A. Bailey)
"The connection between Venus and the Earth lies hid in number, and it took a moment of mysterious alignment between a globe, its corresponding chain and the scheme of allied number to effect the momentous occurrence known as the coming of the Lords of Flame. It occurred in the third root-race in the fourth round. Here we have an analogy between the quaternary and the Triad, carrying the interpretation up to a Heavenly Man."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 299, by Alice A. Bailey)
"This question of the coming of the Lords of Flame to the planet Earth is deeply involved (as stated above) in the relationship existing between the Heavenly Man of the Earth scheme and the Lord of the Venus scheme."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 367, by Alice A. Bailey)
"In an occult sense this law [The Law of Magnetic Control] is for us the one with which we are the most intimately concerned. It plays an important part in the hands of the Lords of Flame, and is one of Their main factors in controlling the three worlds."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 592, by Alice A. Bailey)
"The question of the coming of the Lords of Flame is discussed hereafter under the heading "Individualization.""
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 701, by Alice A. Bailey)
"A third factor differentiating the groups of human units who reached self-consciousness on our planet is hidden in the methods employed by the Lords of the Flame at that time. They, we are told, employed three methods.
"First, They themselves took bodies and thus energized certain of the higher forms of the animal kingdom, so that they appeared as man, and thus initiated a particular group. Their descendants can be seen in the highest specimens of the earth humanity now on earth. They are not even now, however, as far advanced as the groups of units from the moon chain who came in in Atlantean days. Their heredity is peculiar.
"They implanted a germ of mind in the secondary group of animal-men who were ready for individualization. This group, for a long time, was unable to express itself, and was most carefully nurtured by the Lords of Flame, nearly proving a failure. By the time, however, that the last subrace of the Lemurian root race was at its height it suddenly came into the forefront of the then civilization, and justified hierarchical effort.
"Thirdly, They fostered the germ of instinct in certain groups of animal-men until it flowered into mind. It must never be forgotten that men have within themselves (apart from any extraneous fostering) the ability to arrive, and to achieve full self-consciousness."
("A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," pg 1146, by Alice A. Bailey)
"There are a few very esoteric mantrams that exist in the original Sensa, and that have remained in the knowledge of the Brotherhood from the early days of the founding of the Hierarchy. They were brought by the Lords of Flame when They came to earth and are only thirty-five in number. They form the key that unlocks the mysteries of each subplane on the five planes of human evolution."
("Letters On Occult Meditation," pg 163, by Alice A. Bailey)
"The correspondence to the fire of the mental plane is easily demonstrable. For the work of the Lords of Flame in implanting the spark of mind has so developed and grown, that now the fire of intellect is to be seen burning in all civilized peoples. All energies are turned to the feeding of that spark and the turning of it to the greatest profit."
("Letters On Occult Meditation," pg 185, by Alice A. Bailey)
"This process of expansion set up another focal point of energy, and the heart center of the planet, the Hierarchy came into being; thus two centers were created and en rapport, which constitutes a major event upon the involutionary arc; to this, little attention has hitherto been paid. It coincided with the advent or the arrival of the Lords of Flame from the alter ego of our Earth, the planet Venus."
("Telepathy & The Etheric Vehicle," pg 132, by Alice A. Bailey)
