A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division A - Manas or Mind and its Nature |
We are at this juncture considering the manifestations of
electricity on the different planes of the cosmic physical plane, or on our solar systemic
planes. Hence, all that can be seen in manifestation is fundamentally physical
electricity. We have seen that the primary manifestation is that which
vitalized, tinctured, and pervaded the matter of space, thus embodying - in connection
with logoic manifestation - that which is analogous to the vital heat, activity and
radiation of a human being, [313] manifesting on the solar physical plane. Certain
electrical phenomena distinguish a human being, only (as they have not been expressed or
considered in terms of electricity) the analogy has been lost sight of. These
demonstrations might be considered as:
These three electrical manifestations - vitality, magnetism, and fohatic impulse - are to be seen at work in a solar Logos, a Heavenly Man and a human being. They are the objective manifestations of the psychic nature, which (in a solar Logos, for instance) we speak of in terms of quality, and call will, wisdom, activity. Therefore, it should be noted here that the first three planes of the cosmic physical plane - the logoic, monadic, and atmic planes - are of prime importance and are the basic planes from whence emanate the secondary four; in other words, the first three cosmic ethers embody in a literal sense those three Entities whom we know as Mahadeva, Vishnu, and Brahma. In a similar sense these Three find Their densest objectivity in the three Physical ethers. The lower four manifest during evolution, but are eventually synthesized into the higher [314] three. It should be also remembered that on all the seven subplanes of a solar plane a process, in connection with electrical phenomena in etheric matter, will parallel all the processes on the major planes. This is easily to be seen on the mental plane, for instance, in connection with Man. Theoretically, the absorption of all faculty by the causal body, and the discontinuance of all enforced objectivity in the three worlds at the close of the synthesizing period is conceded. On the other planes it is not so obvious. On the buddhic plane, the Builders on the evolutionary arc, or a large part of the deva evolution, undergo a paralleling synthesis. On the physical plane a mysterious synthesis in connection with the "spirit of the Earth" is undergone, and the first three ethers are related to him in a way as yet little understood. We might sum it up thus:
