THE IMPARTING OF SECRETS- INITIATION HUMAN AND SOLAR - 2 - ALICE BAILEY

In the case of human evolution certain types of force are generated, dealt with, assimilated, and used, at first un consciously, and finally with full intelligence.

A. In the Hall of Ignorance the force of energy of Brahma ( the activity and intelligence of substance) is that mostly dealt with, and the man has to learn the meaning of activity based on the following: -
Inherent energy, Absorbed energy, Group energy, Material energy or that which is hidden in physical plane matter.

B. In the Hall of Learning he becomes aware of, and uses the energy of the second aspect in form building in social relations, and in family affiliations. He comes to the recognition of sex and its relations, but as yet views this force as something to be controlled, but not consciously and constructively utilised.

C. In the Hall of Wisdom he comes to the knowledge of the first aspect of energy, the dynamic use of will in sacrifice, and to him is then committed the key to the three-fold mystery of energy. This energy in its three-fold aspect he became aware of, in the other two Halls. At the third initiation, and at the fourth and fifth, the three keys to the three mysteries are given to him. The key to the mystery sensed in the first Hall, the mystery of Brahma, is handed to him, and he can then unlock the hidden energies of atomic substance.

The key to the mystery of sex, or of the pairs of opposites, is thrust into his hands , and he can then unlock the hidden forces of the will aspect. The dynamo of the solar system is shown to him-it might be so expressed- and the incricacies of the mechanism revealed.

THE THREE SOLAR MYSTERIES

The three Mysteries of the Solar System

1. The Mystery of Electricity: The mystery of Brahma. The secret of the third aspect. It is latent in the physical sun.

2. The Mystery of Polarity, or of the universal sex impulse, the secret of the second aspect. It is latent in the Heart of the Sun, or the subjective Sun.

3. The mystery of Fire itself, or the dynamic central system force. The secret of the first aspect, It is latent in the Central Spiritual Sun.

THE SEQUENTIAL REVELATION
The secrets, as imparted sequentially to the initiate, are roughly three in number, though within them may be found lesser mysteries which are earlier revealed. At the third initiation the first of the three fundamental secrets of the solar system is imparted to the initiate, immediately after he has taken the oath. This we might, for lack of a better term, call" the secrets of electricity."

It concerns the phenomena of the dense objective manifestation of the Logos.It would be wise here for the student to remember that the three planes of the three worlds, physical, astral, and mental form the dense physical body of the solar Logos, Whist the four jigher form His etheric body. Students are apt to forgetthat our seven planes are the seven sub-planes of the cosmic physical.

This has a definite bearing on the secret of electricity. This is why the secret is not revealed untill the third initiation, and is mprepared for by the impartation of two lesser secrets which concern the physical and astral planes, and which are imparted at the first two initiations by the Bodhisattva.

Electrical phenomena are scientifically recognised as dual in nature, but the inherent triplicity of electricity is as yet but a matter of speculation for modern science. The fact that it is triple is demonstrated to the initiate at the first initiation, and the secret of how to balance forces on the physical plane, and thereby produce equilibrium, is revealed to him at the first initiation. The secret likewise puts him in touch with certain of the Builders on the physical plane-that is, on the etheric levels-and he can then produce physical plane phenomena should he deem it wise.

This he seldom does, as the results gained therby are practically unimportant and he wastes not enery in this manner. The workers with the involuntary forces, the brothers of darkness, employ this method for the startling and the enthralling of the unwary. Not thus work the brothers of humanity.

The secrets of the coherence of the atom is revealed to the initiate, and he then is in a position to study the microcosm under the law of ocrrospondences in a new and illuminating manner. Similarly, through this revelation concerning the densest part of the logoic body, he can ascertain much concerning the previous solar system, and the facts anent the first round of our scheme. This secret is also called "the mystery of matter."

At the second initiation " the secret of the sea" is unfolded to him,and through this revelation two subjects of found interest become clarified to his inner vision. They are:-

a. The mystery of astral light

b. The law of Karma.

He is after this, in a position to do two things, without which he cannot work off that hich hinders, and thus achieve liberation; he can read the akashic records and ascertain the past, thereby enableing himself to work intelligently in the present , and he can begin to balance his karma, to work off his obligations, and to understand how karma, to work off his obligations, and to understand how karma in the three worlds can be negated.

The relation of that heirarchy of spiritual beings who are connected with the law of karmaas it affects man is demonstrated to him, and he knows with first-hand knowledge thet the lords of karma are no myth, or symbolical units, but are highly intelligent entities who wield the law for the benefit of humanity, and thus enable men to become fully self-conscious and self-reliant in the occult sense, and to become creators through perfected knowledge.

At the third initiation " the secret of Fohat" is given to him, and then the mystery of the threefold body of the triple Logos is his, and the why of the phenomena of the dense liquid and gaseous bodies of the Supreme Being is unfolded before his amazed vision. The two secrets previously imparted, and the knowledge which they gave having been utilised, the initiate is now in a position to profit by this greater revelation, and to understand somewhat the following Facts:-
