THE IMPARTING OF SECRETS - INITIATION HUMAN AND SOLAR - 3 - ALICE BAILEY

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:-

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:-

1. The creative process of thought form building

2. The transmission of energy from the Ego to the physical body via the force centres on the various planes.

3. The uprising of the kundalini, its geometrical progression, and its vivification of all centres.

By the knowledge thus imparted, and the progress which the initiate has made in the study of the law of anology, he can comprehend the manipulation of the same forces on a vastly larger scale in the planetary scheme and in the solar system.

The method of development in the three earlier rounds is revealed to him, and he understands, practically as well as theoretically , the evolutionary process in its earlier stages. The key to the three lower kingdoms of nature is in his hands, and certain ideas anent the subject polarity, of at-one-ment, and essential union, are beginning to come within his range of consciousness, only waiting for the fourth initiation to complets the revelation

This secret of electricity, which is essentially triple in its nature, deals with the Brahma or third aspect, and is called sometimes by the following names:

1. The Secret of Brahma

2. The Revelation of the Mother

3.The Secret of Fohatic Force

4. The Mystery of the Creator

5.The Secret of the Three Who issued from the First (solar system).and also by four mystic phrases conveying much light to intuition:

6. The Boat of Mystery which Ploughs the Ocean

7. The Key to the Divine Storehous

8. The Light that Guides throughj the triple caves of Darkness.

9. The Clue to the Energy uniting Fire and Water.

In all names much information will come to the student who carefully ponders them, remembering that they deal with the Brahma aspect in its lowest manifestation and with the three worlds of human endeavour, and thus meditating, the student must relate this present solar system to the preceding one, in which the Brahma aspect dominated, as the Vishnu, or consciousness aspect dominates in this.

The initiate, through the knowledge impared, is now in a position to understand his own triple lower nature, and therefore to balance it in relation to the higher, to read the records and understand his place, within the group, to manipulate the forces in the three worlds and thereby eeffect liberation for himself, thus helping the ends of evolution, and to co-operate intelligently with the plans of the Planetary Logosas they may be revealed to him stage by stage.

He can now wield power, and becomes a centre of energy in a greatly increased degree, being able to dispense or retract force currents. The moment a man becomes consciously powerful on the mental plane, his power for good is hundredfold increased.At the fourth initiation another of the great secrets is revealed to him, It is called " the mystery of polarity," and the clue to the significance of sex in every department of nature on all the planes is given to him, it is not possible to say much along these lines. All that can be done is to enumerate some of the subjects to which it gives the clue, adding to this the information that in our planetary Logos, this secret is the most vital. Our Planetary Logos is at the stage wherin life He is consciously seeking the at-one-ment with the polar opposite, anothe Planetary Logos .

The subjects on which this secret throws a flood of light are:-

A. Sex on the physical plane. It gives the key to the mystery of the separation of the sexes in Lemurian days.

B. The balancing of forces in all departments of nature.

C. The clue as to which Scheme forms with ours a duality.

D. The true name of our Planetary Logos and His relation to the Solar Logos.

E."The marriage of the Lamb" and the problem of the heavenly bride. A clue to this lies in the solar system of S...which must be read astrologically.

E. The mystery of the Gemini, and the connection of our particular Planetary Logos with that constellation.

On a lesser scale, and in relation to the microcosm, the following subjects are illuminated when the iniate receives the second great secret, or the fourth which includes earlir lesser ones:-

G.The processes of at-one-ment in the different kingdoms of nature. The bridging between the kingdoms is shown to him, and he sees the unity of the scheme.

H. The method of egoic at-one-ment is seen clearly revealed , and the antahkarma is shown in its real nature, and having been thus revealed , is dipensed with.

I. The essential unity existing between the Ego and the personality is seen.

J. The relation of the two evolutions, human and deva, is no longer a mystery, but their position in the body of the Heavenly man is seen to be fact.

One could go on emphasising the multiplicity of matters which the mystery of polarity, when revealed, makes clear to the initiate, but the above suffices. The secret concers primarily the Vishnu, or second aspect. It sums up in one short phrase the totality of knowledge gained in the Hall of Wisdom, as the earlier secrets summed up the totality achieved in the Hall of Learning.It deals with consciousness and its development by and through the matter aspect. It concerns literally the unification of the self and the not-self till they are verily and indeed one.At the fifth initiation the great secret which concerns the fire or spirit aspect is revealed to the wondering and amazed Master, and He realises in a sense incomprehensible to man the fact that all is fire and fire is all. This secret may be said to reveal to the Initiate that which makes clear to Him:'

A.The secret name of the Planetary Logos, thus revealing one syllable of the name of the Solar Logos.B.The work and method of the destroyer aspect of divinity.

C. The processes wherby obscuration sums up all the cycles of manifestation.

D. The mathematical formula which sums up all the cycles of manifestation

C.The triple nature of fire and the effect of the great fire upon the lesser.

As this Shiva, or first, aspect is the one which will arrive at perfection, or, rather, come within the reach of comprehension within the next solar system, it profits not to continue considering this secret. The following tabulation may make the whole matter clearer to the mind of the student:-

As the student will observe, the source of the particular energy concerned is one aspect of the sun. at the sixth and seventh initiations two more secrets are revealed, one-a a lesser secret-preparing the way for revelation of the fourth. Only four secrets of a major order are revealed to the initiates on this planet, and hereinlies the clue to our position in the scheme of solar evolution.

There are only five secrets altogether, of a major kind, revealed in this solar system, owing to the fact that this is a system wherin pre-eminently the fifth principle of the mind forms the basis of unfoldment. This fifth revelation is only imparted to those who pass to the Schemes of synthesis.
