The Three Suns
The Physical Sun
The Heart of The Sun
The Central Spiritual Sun
In the past we have talked a lot about the body, or matter, the soul and the spirit. The three fires at first glance seem to be describing the same thing, but in reality, they hone in on the aspect of motion.
Similarly, the three suns represent these three states, but with another aspect emphasized. And what is that?
It is Light.
Let us take a look at how light expresses itself through these three aspects.
The Physical Sun not only represents but is the source of physical light. This reveals knowledge.
Corresponds to: Ray Three – Brahma – The Physical Body – Holy Spirit – Personality – Active Intelligence – Throat Center – Intelligent Form – Knowledge – The Mystery of Electricity – Fire by Friction – Universal Mind
DK says this:
“The energy thus originating is of a peculiarly interesting kind being the basic energy of all manifestation, and the sum total of the forces which form the sevenfold heart of the physical sun, and which are located within its sheltering luminosity.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Page 1115
“The ‘lower light’ is that which is hidden within the human being on the physical plane. This light, at a certain stage of man’s experience, is awakened throughout the physical body and blends eventually with the ‘greater light.’ The light and life of God Himself may emanate from the central Spiritual Sun, but it is only as the light within the solar system itself is awakened and aroused that there will come that eventual blazing forth which will typify the glory of the Sun shining in its strength. Similarly, the light of the soul may emanate from the Monad, but it is only as the light within the little system (directed by the soul) is awakened and aroused that there will come the eventual shining forth of a son of God.” Treatise on White Magic, Page 73
The Heart of the Sun represents the light of the soul and is strongly linked to the heart chakra. This reveals wisdom and understanding. This sun radiates love and is said to be “the inner point of life in all manifested forms.”
Corresponds to: Ray Two – Love-Wisdom – Vishnu – Soul-Son-Ego – Heart Center – The Christ – The Soul and Solar Angels – The Causal Body – Solar Fire
D K adds this:
That each revelation “carrying the initiate closer to the Heart of the Sun wherein all things are known and felt, and through which all forms, all beings and all things can be bathed in love.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Pages 727-728
The Central Spiritual Sun represents the light of the spirit and is linked to the head center. This reveals the light of the intuition and is the key to unlocking the consciousness of oneness with all things.
The Central Spiritual Sun represents a point in divine space wherein lies the One Great Light which casts no shadow. Here all is revealed.
Corresponds to: Ray One – Agni – Spirit-Father-Monad – Intuition – Life – Head Center – Will, Power and Purpose – Electric Fire – The Jewel in the Lotus – Divine Consciousness
DK adds this:
“The initiate in good standing looks into the heart of things; he has forced his way to the very ‘Heart of the Sun’ (using those words in a ‘planetary’ and not in a ‘solar’ sense) and—from that vantage point—he becomes aware of the ‘Central Spiritual Sun’ and the Way of the Higher Evolution which leads inevitably to that assured centre of the Most High.” Rays and Initiations, Page 652
“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’ — an occult reference to the all-embracing radiance of the Monad as it absorbs both its reflection, the soul, and its shadow, the personality.” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 287
“‘I see the greatest light.’ This statement has relation to the Central Spiritual Sun and not to the Heart of the Sun; it involves, if I might so express it, the most intense effort to see in the light the relation of the whole, and this is one of the most potent experiences to which the disciple can be subjected. It is not vision or even aspiration to see the vision. It is complete sight and of this the Masonic symbol of the ‘Eye of God,’ the ‘All-Seeing Eye,’ is the expression. It involves realisation of the light of the divine countenance; of this the light of the soul is the dim reflection. The disciple has learnt the significance of solar and lunar light (soul and form light), but this is something other. It is the great obliterating light of reality itself, revealing the fact of the higher Lighted Way which leads to Nirvana; Of this, the projected antahkarana is the stage first consciously realised by the disciple.” Rays and Initiations, Page 516
There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle. – Robert Alden
