THE RAYS, KARMA AND THE DEVAS

The process may be tabulated as follows:

1. The life takes primitive form  
2. The form is subjected to outer heat  
3. Heat playing upon the form produces moisture  
4. Moisture and heat perform their function in unison  
5. Elemental lives tend all lesser lives  
6. Devas cooperate under rule, order and sound.  
7. The internal heat of the atom increases  
8. The heat of the atom mounts rapidly and surpasses the external heat of its environment.  
9. The atom radiates.  
10.  The spheroidal wall of the atom is eventually broken down.  
11.  The electrons (negative units) seek a new center, or form.  
12.  The central life escapes to merge with its polar opposite, becoming negative and seeking the positive.
13.  This is obscuration, the light going out temporarily until it again emerges and blazes forth.

Only the way can be pointed to those who are ready, or who are recovering old knowledge gained through experience upon the Path.  The landmarks indicated must hold sufficient guidance to enable them to penetrate deeper into the arcane of knowledge.  The danger consists in the very fact that transmutation concerns the material form, and Deva substance.  Master concern themselves with the Soul of things and they reach the whole through the agency of the few centers in a form.

Conscious Manipulation of the Fires:  This concerns the two-fold fire of an atom (internal and radiatory) and the fires of mind.  The conscious manipulation of the fires is the prerogative of man when he has reached a certain point in his evolution.  The work to be done in aiding the evolutionary process, is the work of transferring the life from one stage of atomic existence to another, and it involves three steps which can be seen by means of higher clairvoyance.  They are:

1. The Fiery stage:  The blending, fusing and burning period through which all atoms pass during the disintegration of form.  

2. The Solvent stage:  In which the form is dissipated and substance is held in solution, the atom being resolved into its essential duality.

3. The Volatile stage:  Which concerns the essential quality of the atom and the escape of this essence to seek new form.

Radioactivity, pralayic solution and essential volatility might express the thought, for these three steps are followed in every transmutating process without exception.  Little can be shared about the conscious manipulation of the fires owing to the disastrous developments in Atlantean days, and the consequent stultification of Spiritual evolution for a time until karma has been adjusted.  

As time proceeds, man will gradually recover past knowledge and power developed in Atlantean days, produce bodies resistant to the fire elementals of the lower kind, comprehend the inner meaning of radioactivity, or the setting loose of the power inherent in all elements, and reduce the formulas of the chemists to sound.  Conscious transmutation is possible only when a man has transmuted the elements in his own vehicles, only then can he be trusted with the secrets of divine alchemy.

The magician or alchemist works with Deva essence through the control of the lesser Builders in cooperation with the greater Devas.  Note the following distinctions between the work of the black and the white magicians.  

1. The white deals with positive electrical energy, the dark with the negative.

2. The white occupies himself with the Soul of things, the dark centers his attention upon the form.

3. The white develops the inherent energy of the sphere concerned (whether human, animal, vegetable or mineral) and produces results through self-induced activities of the central life.  The dark magician attains through the agency of force external to the sphere involved and produces transmutation through the method of reduction of the form, rather than radiation.
