The Factor of Identity and the words “specific purpose” involve the practical application of the will, or intent, of a conscious intelligent Existence shows itself in its source, mission, method and objective.
The Factor of Time concerns the periods of construction, utilization and dissolution. Only by the quality of a thought-form will its inherent purpose be revealed; only as its emanative processes comprehended will the nature of its mission become recognizable. They can be known by their color, vibration, direction and keynote.
The Factor of Karma enters as every thought-form comes under the Law of Karma through the effect it produces. It should be remembered that only cosmic and solar lords formulate thoughts and therefore come under karmic law. The lunar Lords and all lesser intelligences do not do so, for where self-consciousness is not, there is no responsibility.
The Factor of the Lesser Builders concerns the fact that the specific purpose of a thought-form is connected very closely with the type of Deva essence of which it is constructed, and (in connection with man on the Mental plane) with the type of elemental which he can control, and send forth as the occupier, or vitalizing agency of the thought-form.
A Solar Logos works through the Greater Builders, Who are the Manasaputras, sending them upon the mission of constructing and vitalizing the systemic thought-form with a specific purpose in view. The planetary Logoi work through the Builders of the next three planes (Atma-Budddhi-Manas) who construct and control the work of the planetary schemes. Men work through the builders of the lower Mental planes and the Astral plane, for the human thought-forms are kama-manasic (desire-mind). In all cases, the lesser Builders are swept into activity by the will of the greater Builders. All are sent out by a greater life than their own upon a specific mission. They are sent forth by those who are self-conscious and are a blend of mind, body and Spirit. Only the self-conscious can create, and only they are capable of purpose and coordination, of direction and control.
