Manifestation of the Logoic Aspects:  This is achieved through the close consideration of the method pursued by the Logos in giving His conception form and thus working out His purpose, or will, through that form.  In the three planes of man’s endeavor, we have reflected the three aspects of the Logos as they produce manifestation:

1. Mental Plane:  Reflection of the first aspect, the plane of concept, of the union of Father-Spirit-Will and Mother-Matter-Energy, and this union produces the Son; Divine Thought taking form.

2. Astral Plane:  Reflection of the second aspect, the Son.  Materialization proceeds through desire and the form grows and evolves, becoming more adequate.

3. Physical Plane:  Reflection of the third aspect, manifestation, the thought-form (of a man or the Logos) appears in activity.  The Son is born on the Physical plane, the Thought of the Thinker becomes an entity separated from its originating source yet energized by the vitality emanating from him.  

All this is possible through the action of the Devas who are that which embodies thought, gives it its separated energy as distinct from the purpose which will work out as the form becomes adequate as a medium of expression.

Deva force substance:  As the Devas of the seven planes of the solar system are considered, especially those who work in the three worlds, we must bear in mind the following statements:

a) They are the Devas who are the dual force-substance of the lowest cosmic plane, hence man is limited to working with those Devas who are not regarded as having part in the seven principles of the Logos.  They are those Devas who are as yet animated by the life and purpose of the first solar system, which is considered evil from our present standpoint, for it is superseded as far as man is concerned by a different and higher purpose now.  Therefore, identification with that which is past are for a man a return along the path of self-conscious evolution and lead to a loss of the Egoic principle.

They are those Devas who are the automatic, subconscious builders, carrying on the work of the dense physical vehicle of the Logos in the same sense as the builders in man’s body work automatically and unconsciously to produce his cells.  This is the basis of the danger to man in tampering with these forces, for he is too close to them and still identifies himself with them and, until he has attained the consciousness of the Ego and established his identity with the Spirit aspect and not with substance, he is liable to be swept into the line of blind force and become a lost Soul should he trespass ignorantly and curiously into their domain.

b) The hope for the Devas and for the form aspect lies in the fact that each of the subplanes of the cosmic Physical plane comes under the influence of cosmic forces originating on the six other cosmic planes.  

Cosmic Mental Plane: 

1. Manifests as the force which plays through all the manasic permanent atoms, and which produces the three worlds.  
2. The force which animates those groups of Lotuses which we can Egoic groups or centers, aggregates of Causal bodies.  
3. The force which vitalizes all the mental units and which is distributed to all the other permanent atoms.

These three types of force deal with the substance aspect, permanent atoms, Causal vehicle and mental units, and are therefore directly impressing themselves upon the Devas who build these forms out of their own substance, thus developing the Divine Plan.  These three types of force affect substance, but with a psychic intent, being themselves swayed and actuated according to divine purpose from high levels.  

Cosmic Astral Plane

1. The Devas who are the substance of the force of the Astral plane, viewing it as the sumtotal of desire, feeling and sensation.  They are, therefore, the nerve centers of the logoic physical body, for the systemic Astral plane provides the nervous system of the logoic physical body and are the body of most intense vibration from the physical standpoint.  

2. Those Devas who are the sumtotal of the Astral light, the agents of the karmic lords who are, in themselves, Deva entities of an inconceivably advanced evolution, and who record, produce effects from causes and direct force in their own substance.  This group emanates from a great force center which we call the sun, Sirius.
