The kamic angels are vitalized from the Logoic Heart center and the manasic angels from the Logoic Head center via the point within that center that is connected to the heart. The solar Angels exist within three groups, all of which are concerned with the self-consciousness aspect and are energized and connected with the fifth spirilla of the Logoic permanent atom, and all of which work as a unit.
The solar Devas in group 1 are of the highest order and are connected with the Logoic Head center, whether solar or planetary. They work with the manasic permanent atoms and embody the will-to-be in dense physical incarnation. They are the life, power and substance of the atomic subplane and the second.
Those in group 2 are definitely connected with the Causal bodies of all Egos and originate from the Logoic Heart center and express that force. The third group, corresponding to the Throat center, show their power on the fourth subplane through the mental units. They are the sumtotal of the power of the Ego to see, hear and to speak, or sound, in the occult sense.
Individualization - The Work of the Solar Angels: The Causal body has its place on the third subplane of the Mental plane, (the lowest of its abstract planes) and the one whereon the Ray of the third Logos provides the necessary light for construction. (This is because each subplane comes specially under the influence of its number, name or Lord.)
At the coming in of the Manasadevas to produce self-consciousness and to bring about the incarnation of the divine Egos, four things occur on that plane. These four are given in the order of their appearance in time and space:
1. There appear upon the third subplane of the Mental plane nine vibratory impulses, corresponding to the fivefold vibration of these Manasadevas in conjunction with the fourfold vibration set up from below and inherent in the matter of this subplane. This produces the nine-fold Egoic lotus, which at this stage is tightly closed with the nine petals folded. They are vibrant and scintillating light but not of excessive brightness. These ‘lotus buds’ are in groups according to the influence of the particular ones of the fivefold Dhyanis Who are acting upon it and Who form it out of Their own substance, coloring it faintly with the fire of manas.
2. A triangle of fire appears on the Mental plane that is produced by manasic activity, and it begins to slowly circulate between the manasic permanent atom and a point at the center of the Egoic lotus, and thence to the mental unit, which has appeared upon the fourth subplane through innate instinct that only approximates mentality. This triangle waxes ever brighter until it produces an answering vibration from both the lower and the higher; this triangle is the nucleus of the Antahkarana.
The work of the highly evolved man is to reduce this triangle to a unity, and by means of high aspiration, which is transmuted desire affecting mental matter, turn it into the Path, and thus reproduce in a higher synthetic form the earlier path along which the descending Spirit came to take possession of the vehicle, the Causal body, and from thence again work through the lower personal self.
3. A downflow of Buddhi takes place along the line of the manasic triangle until it reaches a point at the very center of the lotus. There, by the power of its own vibration, it causes a change in the appearance of the lotus. At the very heart of the lotus, three more petals appear which close in on the central flame, covering it closely, and remaining closed until the time comes for the revelation of the "jewel in the Lotus." The Egoic lotus is now composed of twelve petals, nine of these appear at this stage in bud form and three are completely hidden and mysterious.
At the same time, the three permanent atoms are enclosed within the lotus, and are seen by the clairvoyant as three points of light in the lower part of the bud, beneath the central portion. They form at this stage a dimly burning triangle. The Causal body, though only in an embryonic condition, is now ready for full activity as the aeons slip away, and is complete in all its threefold nature. The matter aspect, which concerns the material form of the man in the three worlds, or his active intelligent personal self can be developed and controlled through the medium of the mental unit, the Astral permanent atom and the physical permanent atom.
