3. As a result of the disciple's use of this technique, there is brought about an increased vital livingness, and a dynamic inflow of Spiritual life into the Physical plane experience. The disciple becomes "inspired" by the fire of love, and this evokes the "service of creation" as an expression of that love.

4. The power which inspires him and which makes him dynamic and creative in his environment comes likewise from the will aspect of the Monad, sweeping the higher mind into activity upon the higher mental level which is that on which the creative ideas of God emerge in form to be recognised by the human consciousness.

5. The channel of approach or of downflow is as follows:

1. From the will aspect of the Monadic life to that level of consciousness and of energy which we call that of the higher mind.

2. From the higher mind to the knowledge petals of the Egoic lotus.

3. From these vortexes of force to the lower or concrete mind—that in which the average intelligent man familiarly works—to the Throat center and from thence immediately to the sacral center (the center of Physical plane creation or reproduction). From there it is raised again to the Throat center where the creative physical urge is transmuted into artistic or literary creation in some form or another, and later still into the power to create groups or organisations which will express some idea or some thought which emanates from the Mind of God, and which demands immediate precipitation upon earth.

The result of this inflow of supremely high energies is that the processes set in motion by the Technique of Integration are completed and the Rays of the lower man are welded or fused into the Personality Ray. This itself is later blended with the Egoic Ray, enabling that Spiritual Identity which we recognise as standing behind phenomenal man to work through both these Rays, thus bringing about a correspondence to that grouping within the divine expression which we call the major and minor Rays. The Rays of the triple lower nature then form one single avenue through which the Soul, and later the energy of Spirit can contact the larger Whole in manifestation upon the physical, Astral and Mental planes.

Now let us for a moment consider the Technique of Fusion. The keynotes of the three techniques are as follows:

First Ray:  Isolated Unity

Second Ray:  Inclusive Reason

Third Ray:  Presented Attributes

The first thing the disciple who seeks to use these techniques undertakes is to arrive at an understanding (practical, experimental and subjective) of the appropriate phrase for his Ray. Let me paraphrase or elucidate each of them, inadequately perforce owing to the lack of comprehension and the limited evolution of the average disciple, but in any case in order to bring suggestion to your minds.

Isolated Unity is that stage of consciousness which sees the whole as one and regards itself, not theoretically but as a realized fact, as identified with that whole. It is a whole which is "isolated" in the consciousness of the man, and not the man himself who regards himself as isolated. The word "isolated" refers to that complete organised organism of which the man can feel and know himself to be a part. The word "unity" expresses his relationship to the whole.

It will be apparent therefore that this whole is something progressively realized. For the bringing about of this progressed realisation the great expansions of consciousness, called initiations, have been temporarily arranged as a hastening or forcing process. This progression of realized "isolations in unity" may begin with the disciple's group, environment or nation and, through right use of the understanding, will end by enabling him to isolate the whole divine scheme or living structure, and to identify himself with it in an active capable manner.
