The Divine Manasaputras are the seven planetary logoi, the Lords of the Rays, the seven Heavenly Men. They developed the mind aspect in the first solar system, wherein Brahma was paramount.
- A Man originates on the Monadic level but has his main focal point on the fifth (mental), and is seeking full conscious development on the three lower planes.
- A Heavenly Man has his source outside the solar system (as man outside the 3 worlds) has a focal point on the second plane (Monadic) and is seeking consciousness on the planes of the Triad. He developed consciousness on the three worlds during the first solar system.
- A Solar Logos has His origin on a still higher cosmic level, a focal point on the cosmic Mental plane but is expressing through the three lower cosmic planes, as man is seeking self-expression in the 3 worlds.
- The Heavenly Men form the seven centers (chakras) in the body of the Logos, they are the spheres of fire which animate his body with one type of force.
- Human beings, when centered in their groups on Causal levels, form one or other of the seven centers in the body of a Heavenly Man.
- The Solar Logos forms one center in the body of a still greater cosmic Entity.
Why is the progress of evolution cyclic?
1. Certain ideas are involved in the thought of cyclic progression; the ideas of repetition in time, in fact and in space:
- Repetition in Time: Cyclic activity necessitates time periods, greater or lesser cycles, but of uniform degree.
- Repetition in Fact: Involves the idea of a key measure, or sound of any particular group of atoms comprising a form.
- Repetition in Space: This concept concerns the greater concept of karma, which is really the law that governs the matter of the solar system.
2. Repetition of cyclic action is governed by two laws: The Law of Attraction and Repulsion and subsidiary influences, the Laws of Periodicity and of Rebirth. When the note sounded by Spirit is stronger than that of matter and form, we observe Spirit repelling form. It might be expressed as:
- Period of domination of the form note is involution.
- Period of the repulsion of form by Spirit is the battlefield of the three worlds.
- Period of the attraction of Spirit and Spirit, and the consequent withdrawal of form is the Path.
- Period of domination of the note of Spirit is that of the higher planes of evolution.
3. Two types of cycles: Rotation upon the axis or around an orbit.
- Rotation on the axis can be witnessed in a Heavenly Man as the rotation of a globe within a chain, or the period of one incarnation.
- Rotation around an orbit can be viewed as the wheel of life, or the passage of a man through the three lower planes down into incarnation and back again.
Time may be considered as that process of activity, or that progression in development, wherein the indwelling consciousness is seeking its opposite, and coming under the Law of Attraction, which leads to atomic, human, planetary, Spiritual, solar and cosmic marriage.
Space, for the atom, will be the radius of the form in which is found the greater center of consciousness, of which is a part, and it will be both attracted and repelled; attracted and built into the form of the greater Life, yet repulsed and thereby prevented from moving from a certain point within that form.
When more of the human family have their center of consciousness in the Ego, and hence are busy with the work of repulsing matter and the withdrawal of Spirit from form, then only will the transmutative process be comprehended, then only will time (as known in the three worlds) be transcended, and then only will space (as manifested to man in the three planes) be found to be a barrier.
