The Use Of The Words- 5 - The Solar Words - Alice A. Bailey

The three activities of the aspirant must parallel each other, and it will be noted that the second is the outcome of the first and will manifest as energy on the physical plane. Only when the aspirant has made real progress in these three lines of endeavour will the first of the Great Words be committed to him.

Every Great Word includes within itself its differentiations, its expansions and permutations, and by its utterance the initiate sets in motion the lesser, through the bibration of the greater. Hence the terrific responsibility and the magnitude of all results achieved. Each word is committed to the initiate orally and visually.

It is spoken to him first in the form of seven syllable, each of which he has to memorise as a seperate word.Then he is shown how to blend these seven so as to make a threefold sound and then produce more united and far reaching results. Finally the three are blended into one Word which is committed to him,

The seven words which form the Great Word at any inititation are communicated to the initiate by the initiates of equal rank with his own. This group divides itself into seven groups, according to subray or ray formation , and each group then chants one word in rapid rotation. 

Simultaneously, the colours and symbols of the various sounds pass in front of him, so that he hears and sees that which is committed to him. The more advanced group around the throne of office ( the three Departmental Heads are the first two initiations, and the Pratyeka Buddas at the final ones) chant then for him the triple Word which blends the seven, and again he sees it before his inner eye.

Finally the initator sounds it forth, and the initiate becomes aware within himself, in practical experience, of the great sound, and knows in one particular centre what its vibration is. As is well known, every centre is connected with some plane, scheme, ray, and other septenary divisions, and thus the significance of its inner reaction will be apparent.

6. The masters and initiates,In Their work of aiding the evolution of the three words, concern Themselves principally with the seven syllables of the Word of Their degree or initiated grade. The three Words which blend the seven are seldom used except un der the direct sanction of one of the departmental heads (according to the syllable involved each word is directly connected with the triple AUM, and therefore with the Brahma, Vishnu, or Siva aspect, of which the three Heads are the planetary representatives).

When any iniate desires to use, for evolutionary purposes, the entire Word as a unit, the sanction of the assembled Lodge has to be gained, for such a Word affects the matter of an entire plane within the planetary scheme, and consequently the matter of these planes which a subsidiary to the one involved.

For instance, an initiate of the third degree, in sounding the Word of his degree, affects the matter of the lawer mental subplanes, and subsequently the matter of the astral aand physical planes. An initiate of the second degree similarly affects the astral plane, and subsequently the physical. Far reaching results are thus achieved, and the work of many is thus affected.

Every Word, differentiated or synthesised, affects the deva kingdoms, and hence the form -building aspects of manifestattion. No sound is ever made without producing a corresponding response in deva substance, and driving multitudes of tiny lives to take specfic forms.

These forms persist and carry out their functions just as long as the sound which caused them is prolonged, and the specific will-energy of the one who initiated the sound is directed towards the living form.

This is equally true of a Solar Logos enunciating the AUM, and thus producing the solar system; of a Planetary Logos sounding his planetary Word, and producing a planetary scheme; of an adept producing results for the helping of humanity on the physical plane, and on an ordinary human being, who-in much differentiated diversified speech-expresses an inner purpose or state of mind, and thus builds a form or vehicle in deva substance.

The majority of human beings as yet build unconsciously, and the form constructed is either of a beneficient or maleficent agency, according to the underlying motive or purpose of the man, and will carry out his will as long as its term of being persists.
