(From p. 67 to p. 128, Vol. I.)
Matter during Pralaya. It is in a state of great tenuity seen only by Bodhisatvas. When evolution begins again it appears like curds in space. V. I, p. 69.
Electricity an Entity. V. I, p. 76, line 6; it is an emanation from an entity of power, p. 111 in note; and is coexistent with the one life, p. 81: it is primordal matter of a special nature, p. 82.
Pulsation of the Heart and the Tides. Probably due to the universal expanding and contracting of the atoms, which in turn are caused by the expansion and contraction of matter of space. V. I, p. 84. "There is heat internal and heat external in every atom" id.
Two Sorts of Fire or Heat. One in the central Sun and the other in the manifested universe and solar system. V. I, p. 84, 87.
Magical Potency of Words is in the vowel sounds and not in the numbers. 94, V. I.
The Term "Human" is not to be Confined to this Globe. It must be applied to all entities who have reached the fourth stage of development on any planet in space in its fourth round in any chain of planets. V. I, p. 106, 2nd para.
Buddhi as Compared with Spirit is material, although for us and the highest conceptions we can form it is wholly beyond materiality. V. I, p. 119, line 7.
The Human Monad is the union of the ray from the absolute with the soul. V. I, p. 119, para 1.
Symbolism and Numbers. They are intimately connected with the hosts of the Dhyan-Chohans. The basic numbers refer each to distinct groups of ideas which vary according to the group of Dhyan Chohans referred to. In other places the author says that, as the Dhyani are connected with evolution in all its intricacies and mysteries, it follows that symbolism is of the highest importance. V. I, p.119, (b).
The One Fundamental Law of Occult Science is the radical unity of the ultimate essence of each constituent part of compounds in nature from star to atom and from the highest Dhyan Chohan to the smallest infusoria. And this is to be applied spiritually, intellectually, and physically. V. I, p. 120, last para.
Karma Needs Material Agencies to carry out its decrees. V. I, p. 123, line 2. The material agents spoken of here are not merely those that we class as such, but many others which are generally conceived of by us as spiritual. For, as said above, even Buddhi is material when compared with Atman of which it is the vehicle. The clue here given is in regard to the operations of Karma through the atoms that are used by the egos in their various incarnations. But in following this out it must not be forgotten that there is no particle or point of materiality which is not at the same time mixed with or in company with another particle — if the word may be used for this purpose — of spirit or the one life.
The Three Groups of Builders. These are as follows: The first is the group which constructs the entire system as a whole and which includes more than this globe system; the second is the group of builders who come in when the system as a great whole is ready and form the planetary chain of this earth; and the third is that group which builds or projects Humanity, as they are the great type of the microcosm — man. V. I, p. 128, second para.
The Lipika as Compared with the Builders are the great Spirits of the universe as a whole, the builders being of a special nature. The Lipika, like the others, are divided into three groups, but it is asserted that only the lowest of these three groups has to do with this system of ours and that the other two cannot be known, and also that those two are so high that it is doubtful if even the highest of the Adepts know about them. It may therefore be supposed that for the Adepts the Lipika of the higher degrees are as great a mystery as the Mahatmas are for us, and that this ascending scale of greatness ever gives to the soul something still higher, no matter how far it may progress, to which to look and aspire. V. I, see whole of page 128.
But as each of the three groups is divided into seven others (p. 127), it may be the 21st sub-group which has to do with this globe; and it is said that as to the highest of the groups it is directly connected with our karma. V. I, p. 128, last line. Now as Karma rules the entire universe, it must follow, in order to make and keep harmony, that the "highest grade of Lipika" referred to on page 128 is not the highest of the last series of 21 sub-groups, but the highest of the whole three great groups.
Note Well. Whenever an "entity" is spoken of among the various, "hosts" it is to be known as composed of many entities, just as man himself is similarly constituted, his total consciousness being that of the whole mass of beings who go to make up his intricate life.
