This produces:

4.   The completion of the two triangles—the Real and the unreal. The building of the Antahkarana is an

aspect of this completion. This concerns the final building of the later stages of the Antahkarana by the initiate.

5.   The transmission of force from the reflected or secondary triangle in the three worlds of human

endeavour (or in the five worlds in the case of the evolution of members of the Hierarchy) is into the same focal point on the base line of the higher triangle which received the original emanating energy.

6.   There are consequently two points of major importance in the higher triangle:

1. The emanating point of positive conditioning energy.

2. The point which receives into itself both the higher energy and the lower forces. This point is called the Soul aspect of the triangle and is always the registering agent of consciousness. It is, therefore, the producer of crises, because the point where several energies meet is the source of crisis in the outer life.

3. These crises are crises of initiation and this is true of men as individuals, of nations and of humanity as a whole.

4. The overshadowing triangle is the factor which produces by its flow into and out of the secondary triangle the "moments in time and the events in space which lead to those episodes in the life of the Soul wherein force becomes energy and energy becomes life."

Summarising what I have said:

1.  Emanating, evocative and magnetic energies are the three types of energy, flowing from the "superior triangle."

2.  Receptive, distributing and critical force are the three types of energy distributed by the "inferior or reflected triangle."

3.  Two points of energy are shared by both triangles along the base line. When the work is completed, the base line is formed by two blended streams of energy, which embody the energies of both triangles.

4.  One point of energy (the magnetic point) produces involution and outgoing during the process of forming the lower triangle. In a later stage it—as a blend of energies—induces return of all the energies to the emanating source.

At the same time, students must bear in mind that—owing to the Great Illusion—it may appear to them that the triangles are incomplete during the evolutionary process. The fact, however, is that in the Eternal Now all three sides of the triangles eternally exist and persist. The problem is found only in the consciousness of the subject but not in the Reality.

5.  It must be noted by the student that:

1. The masses of men express down-pouring energy from the magnetic center. Their rightful trend is at present downward into physical manifestation and experience.

2. Aspirants and probationers express responsiveness to the pull of the evocative center. Their urge is towards the path of return.

3. Accepted disciples and initiates express the interplay along the base line between the evocative and magnetic points.

4. Higher initiates and Masters utilise and express the energy blended in the magnetic center. They are returning or responding to the emanating center.

6.  Thus the sixfold triangle—objective and subjective—is completed.

There are, as I pointed out earlier, seven great crises in connection with the human being upon the path of evolution; they cover the earlier, the later and the final stages of his growth. These it should be borne in mind are precipitated through the conditioning influences of seven great constellations. Let us consider them for a moment.
