14. It should be noted that in this solar system the
    following entities manifest through:
      - One permanent atom - the physical.
  
          - A solar
            Logos.
 
          - The three
            major Rays, or Lords of Aspect.
 
          - The seven
            Heavenly Men.
 
          - The
            forty-nine Regents of the planetary chains.
 
         
      
      Two
        permanent atoms - the physical and the astral.
          - The seven
            Lords of the globes in every chain.
 
          - The
            forty-nine Root Manus.
 
          - The
            seventy-seven Embodiers of form - a group of solar Lords Who are concerned with form
            building, working primarily on the first ray.
 
          - Certain of
            the Avatars, Who are selected by the Logos to carry a certain type of force at stated
            intervals and thus further the evolution of the psyche.
 
         
      
      Three
        permanent atoms - physical, astral, and mental.
          - The Lords of
            the third Kingdom, the animal. They are seven Entities whose bodies are made up of animal
            souls just as the Heavenly Men embody for man the Buddhic principle, so these lords embody
            for the animal kingdom the manasic principle, which is the goal of the evolutionary
            process for them.
 
          - Certain
            great entities who embody a whole range of existences upon five of the planets, of which
            the earth is not one, but who in due course of time will come to be recognized as having a
            powerful effect upon man on the earth, via the three Buddhas of Activity. A hint as to
            this esoteric influence comes to man in the close connection existing between the Earth
            and Mercury. As yet it is not possible to enlarge further.
 
          - The entities
            who are the sumtotal of those group souls who contain definite permanent triads. Nine
            triads constitute the body of one of these entities. 
 
         
      
      Through
        four permanent atoms - physical, astral, mental and buddhic.
          - Eight groups
            of solar Entities Who form the subjective life of the seven centers in the body of Brahma,
            viewing Him as a separate cosmic Entity, [534] dissociated from His two brothers. They are
            the seven Sons of Fohat, with the eighth Son included, and They are the final
            differentiation of the forty-nine fires, prior to Their union with the fire of Eros. Thus
            is it expressed by H. P. B. (S. D., I, 139, 144.)
 
          - That Entity
            Who works through the FORM of a planetary occult Hierarchy, using it as His body of
            manifestation, and regarding it as the center through which His force can flow. It should
            by remembered that all such groups on every planet form a vehicle for the life of a great
            Individual Who gives to that Hierarchy its distinctive coloring and its unique keynote.
 
          - A number of
            solar Deities Who are the radiators of solar magnetism, and the life of form.
 
          - A peculiar
            group of Beings connected with a certain constellation and the lesser Dragon, who have
            their habitat on Neptune and work with the sixth principle in the solar system. They take
            physical form, animated by purified desire, controlled by mind, and are the dispensers of
            love-wisdom by means of certain of the "Halls of Wisdom" on the various planets.
            The words "Halls of Wisdom" in their esoteric significance describe a stage of
            consciousness not a location.
 
         
      
      Through
        five permanent atoms - physical, astral, mental, buddhic and atmic.
          - The Lords of
            certain subplanes who work under the Raja-Lord of a plane and who are themselves vibration
            and activity.
 
          - The lesser
            Heavenly Men on the buddhic level, Who reflect Their higher prototypes on the second plane
            of the system.
 
          - The entities
            who are the sumtotal of group consciousness on egoic levels, remembering that these
            groups are differentiated and are formed of aggregates of seven, until there are formed
            forty-nine groups of seven egoic vehicles forming one group which is the body of this
            lesser solar Deity. There is a multiplicity of these groups of forty-nine. This has been
            somewhat stated before when it has been [535] announced that a Master with His particular
            band of disciples and initiates form a group or force center. These groups have their
            permanent atoms as do all lives seeking objective expression.
 
          - The entities
            who are the sumtotal of the vegetable kingdom in its diversity of manifestation in
            different globes, chains and schemes.
 
         
      
      Through
        six permanent atoms - physical, astral, two mental, buddhic and atmic. - MAN.
    
    All that is
    here stated is an enlargement of the data given about the "Army of the Voice,"
    (S. D, I, 121.) and an endeavor to show that many diverse lives (all embodying lesser
    lives, or embodied in greater ones themselves) are to be found within the various schemes.
    We have dealt only with those likewise which are superhuman or human, with those who have
    been or are MEN. We have not dealt with the subhuman, or with the lunar lords or lesser
    pitris, for their day is not yet, and they progress as the tide of evolution progresses,
    unconsciously and not self-consciously, We have dealt with these entities and their
    permanent atoms in connection with their manifestation in a solar system, and have not
    carried it beyond the solar ring-pass-not. All the permanent atoms concern physical
    matter and manifestation. The highest permanent atom of man, the atmic, is, after
    all, an atom of the third cosmic ether, and this should be pondered upon and studied. We
    have considered these various personalities (and the word 'personality' is chosen
    deliberately, for what are They but personalities, or Beings, in physical incarnation?)
    from the standpoint of Their lowest force point first. We have discussed the permanent
    atom as a point of contact with the force of a plane, of a planet, of a chain, of a
    scheme, or of a system. This should ever be borne in mind. 
    It is to be recognized that much that is written above [536] may seem incomprehensible,
    but when scientists come to understand and regulate force, that which is written
    here will become plainer; it will be seen that we have dealt with the positive force in
    all negative forms above, and including the human kingdom.  |
