THE THREE HALLS

Within the Hall of Ignorance kama-manas rules.  The man, weighed down by much misplaced desire, seeks for the object of his heart's attention within the murky halls of densest maya.  He finds it there but dies ere garnering all the longed-for fruit.  The serpent stings him, and the joy desired recedes from out his grasp.  All seeking thus the selfish fruits of karma must each despise each other; hence strife and greed, ill-will and hatred, death and retribution, karmic invocation and the thunderbolt of vengeance characterize this Hall.  

Within the Hall of Learning intellect rules and seeks to guide.  Desire of a higher kind, the fruit of manas and its use, supplants the lower kamic urge.  Man weighs and balances, and in the twilight Halls of Intellection seeks for the fruit of knowledge.  He finds it but to realize that knowledge is not all; he dies upon the open field of knowledge, hearing a cry beat on his dying ears:

"Know that the knower is greater than knowledge; the seeker is greater than that which is sought.”

Within the Hall of Wisdom the Spirit rules; the One within the lesser ones assumes supreme control.  Death is not known within these halls, for its two great gates are passed.  Discord and strife both disappear and only harmony is seen.  The knowers see themselves as One; they recognize the field wherein knowledge grows as Brahmic dissonance and differentiation.  Knowledge they know as method, an instrument of purpose utilized by all and just a germ of eventual recognition.  Within this hall union of each with each, blending of one and all, and unity of action, goal and skill marks every high endeavor.

There are, in connection with human evolution, certain factors which produce definite and important results, when connected with each other through linking streams of energy and therefore consciously functioning.  These factors might be considered as follows, dividing them into two groups, each of them emphasizing the duality of the microcosmic manifestation:

Group I

• The Knowledge Petals.  

• The knowledge petal in each of the two inner circles.  

• The centers on the Mental plane.  

• The Throat center in Etheric matter.  

• The alta major center.  

• The physical brain.  

Group II
