In all the constructive work of form-building, certain factors enter in which must here be enumerated as they vitally concern our particular Heavenly Man and the particular plane, the physical on which we undergo experience. These are:
- The will, or the one-pointed purpose of some Entity.
- The material through which the life proposes to manifest, and is found within the ring-pass-not in seven grades and in forty-nine subgrades.
- The builders who are the vehicle for the divine purpose and who mold matter according to a particular plan, who evolve the forms out of their own nature and substance.
- A plan by which the work is carried out and which is imparted to the Builders, begin latent in their consciousness.
- Certain Words, or mantric sounds, which, when uttered by a greater life, can drive the lesser lives to the fulfillment of constructive purpose.
- A Solar Logos: The threefold Word gives rise to a sevenfold vibration.
- A Heavenly Man who, through utterance, sweeps into evolutionary objectivity His scheme and all therein.
- The Monad, whose threefold Word gives rise to a sevenfold vibration.
- The Ego, whose, through sonorous utterance, produces a human being in the three worlds.
It will be seen that the utterance of sound along the line of force by the trained adept can both utilize Deva activity to effect certain results in connection with the form side of manifestation and can drive the life within to definite action. Hence the extreme danger. Power over form and force lies always ready in the hand of those who have done three things:
- Developed the consciousness of the group in which they find themselves.
- Learned the secret of the notes and tones to which that group responds.
- Apprehended certain set words and phrases and the due method of chanting and intonation.
Development of Etheric vision will be due to two causes:
- The scientific recognition of the existence of Etheric levels, thereby freeing people from the onus of adverse public opinion and thus enabling them to reveal what they know.
- The increased activity of the Devas of the Ethers, which throws the matter of the Etheric levels into active vibration, with consequent reflex action on the eye of man.
Future developments:
- Increased mental activity and the spread of education, resulting in increased cooperation between units and groups whose sole purpose will be to synthesize all lines of human endeavor and thus bring about unification of effort and economy of force in all sectors.
- The schools of medicine will study the Etheric body in its relation to the dense physical body and its functions as the receiver, storer and transmitter of the vital fluids of the system.
- The true seeker will be a scientist, a devotee and a philosopher. When these are not merged, we have the mystic and the danger of black magic, being governed by the intellect and not by selflessness. There are dangers incident upon contact with the Deva evolution and the knowledge of the powers and forces made available through their agency.
- The coming into incarnation of numbers of old magicians and occultists, and the rapid growth therefore of recognized psychic powers among the people. This psychism, being tinged with mentality and not being of a purely Astral quality, will be even more dangerous than in Atlantean days, for behind it will be a greater conscious purpose. Paralleling the incoming of this large band of 7th Ray magicians are certain initiates below the fourth Initiation who hope to offset the vibrations and ward off the menace incident to the advent of the other group.
