| A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division D - Thought Elementals and Fire Elementals |
| An interesting analogy (accurate on general lines [790] though
in detail not so apparent) exists between the building of the antahkarana on mental levels
between the mental unit and the manasic permanent atom (whereby the Path of Liberation is
traveled, and man set free) and the opening up of the channel between the center at the
base of the spine and the brain and thence to the head center. Through this latter channel
man escapes out of the dense physical body, and continuity of consciousness (between the
astral and the physical planes) is reached. In the one case, through right direction of
force, the etheric web no longer forms a barrier; it is destroyed and the man is fully
conscious in the physical brain of what transpires on the astral plane. In the
other case, the causal body also is eventually destroyed through the right direction of
force. We will not here take up the specific work of building upon the scaffolding of the
etheric body the dense physical form. It has been sufficiently dealt with in other books.
We will only want to touch upon two more points which are of interest in this
consideration of the work of the lunar Pitris in building man's body. In connection with the building of the dense body, it should be stated that it appears as a human form, much in the nature of a cross within the ovoid of the other spheres. It is notably of a fivefold nature:
According to the position assumed by the man, he is seen as a symbol of the cross and is then fourfold (the two legs being considered as one lower limb) or, if separated, as fivefold, and has been then considered as the symbol of the five-pointed star. This fivefold nature of the dense physical body is brought about through the fact that only five centers primarily are really active in average man [791] up to the third Initiation; all are there, and all are vitalized, but only five in this fivefold normal evolution are dominant. The force emanating from these five, therefore, sweeps the dense substance into a close aggregation. As two of the centers are not functioning as actively as the other five, an ovoid is not formed as in the case of the etheric, astral and mental sheaths. The fivefold shape of physical man is the result of the fivefold direction of force currents from five centers. It might be interesting also to point out that the interaction of the energy of the solar Pitris and of the lunar Pitris produces a very definite effect upon the lower group of lunar Pitris, and is one of the means whereby they will eventually reach the stage at which the solar Pitris are. This (if fully realized by man) will bring him to a very careful control of his sheaths, and to a close attention to the direction in which his force or energy is turned. He is responsible for the work of aiding in the evolution of substance, being himself a manasaputra. |
