Human “love” is motivated by an unbalanced expression of Man on this physical plane, and one entity with an over-masculine expression seeks unity with an entity with an over-feminine expression.
The thirty-two is the numerical expression of the two different natures exteriorised in form. Thus, the basic “singular” structure of active man is composed of sixteen main centres which also represent the sixteen “planets” of our spiritual solar system. This is also expressed by the process of emanation. Please remember that it is useless to meditate upon or think about these numbers in a “physical” sense because you would never understand what we are trying to teach you. This subject has nothing to do with “numerology”. We are referring to inner principles expressed in numerical terms and which can be proved by investigating the way that molecules form themselves into lattices and thence into crystals.
The centres of expression number sixteen. The square root of sixteen is four, and this is expressed by the Heart of Man which, in turn, corresponds to the beating or pulsating action taking place within the Sun’s centre to maintain activity within Its own system. Throughout the whole Cosmos a similar pattern is evident.
Thus, the fourfold emanations from the Source to the number of pure expression gives an illusion of a three-dimensional world, or worlds. It is movement of energy which gives us form. We could say that illusion is merely the assessment of observable movement in a time and space sequence.
The emanations as seen from unlimited interpenetrating areas of the “Fourth Dimension”; the “Spiritual” or world of Mind. The “Trinitarian” observation from the sensory or speculative level. Thus the number of the Esoteric is Four, and the number of the Exoteric is Three.
The masculine and feminine qualities are expressed as Love and Wisdom respectively. Each exercises an influence over the other because where Love is over-emphasised there is a tendency towards looseness or lack of cohesion, and where Wisdom is over-emphasised there is a lack of compassion. Therefore a balance of these two qualities is necessary for Man to express his maturity.
War, disease and all the other things which man says he must fight against are caused by his desire to “seek other enjoyments” (The Bhagavad Gita), in spite of the consequences. The Earth is the only area within the Cosmos where these abnormalities exist and they are, therefore, false conditions in relation to that which is really true of Man. Also, because of the great cosmic network or atomic chains, that which is emanated from within simply comes back to its source. By knowing the importance of the network one becomes extremely careful how he uses himself in relation to his own activities or way of living. Man needs to return to sanity; to discipline himself so that he can grow to maturity. At present, the majority seems to be content in its adolescence. One does not need to speculate upon what is right and wrong, but rather upon the question of what is true regarding the Universe and Man.
Let us look again at how our inner consciousness is radiated from within. First, from a single point which is dual in nature the Godhead streams forth its ray of energy (similar to what is observed in cell division). This constitutes the fourfold mode of manifold expression, taught in some schools as “Earth, Air, Fire and Water.” This could better be described as solids, liquids, gases, the elements; fire not being one of the elements but a process of change taking place among elements – action and reaction.
A simple example regarding area: the area of a television screen is known; suddenly activity takes place – pictures appear. It is not a movement to or from anywhere, but movement within its own area. Each section then becomes an exact replica of all the others, each complete in itself, yet the manifestations of four different functions within the area. These are still maintained by the One that radiated them in the beginning.
Each section then divides again giving us sixteen modes of function or energy. This becomes Archetypal Man.
The illusion is explained as follows: At the first point the four divisions are formed by two lines of force appearing to cross. These two lines we call Masculine and Feminine, and they blend at right angles. This is the point where Man-God becomes God-Man in expression.
Try this little exercise to help you get the idea:
Visualise yourself as a complete whole being with everything contained within yourself.
Now exteriorise yourself into four equal parts, each identical to the others, each having its own individuality yet still within your own complete consciousness.
Now divide each quarter into four parts again, giving you sixteen parts, each having its own personality yet still contained within your own consciousness.
Now whilst each apparently separate section lives out its own peculiarities it remains still yourself, complete at all points.
This exercise serves to give you an idea of the symbolic four-squared state of mind.
We can see from this that as the Godhead sub-divides itself (fragments itself) in creative activity, each part retains the same wholeness and perfection as the Source from which it emanated. The purpose, then, is to establish the same wholeness and perfection in oneself; to establish one’s own autonomy in the exercise of his Fullness and Glory. In this, he becomes God.
One can see now why discipline is strict in the genuine schools because an initiate has to sum up all his energies to sort himself out of the maze in which he appears to be enmeshed at this level to find himself at the square root. This calls for a single-pointed line of effort to discover that he is really the One. As the Christ says, “If, therefore, thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”
Because of the network of atoms throughout space, because each of us is a centre of consciousness, and because each atom of whatever sort is a centre of consciousness, we are mentally in touch with every form of life within the Cosmos. By virtue of this fact, the whole universe is available for our experience.
Here are the planetary correspondences involved in acquiring a wide range of Cosmic Awareness. (No 1 is closest to the Sun; No 16 is farthest from the Sun).
Vulcan – the first manifestation of God-Man
Mercury
Venus – the first quarters
Earth
Mars
Icarus
Hermes
Vesta
Hidalgo – the minor planets and area of eccentricity (in this area dwell also the Greek and Roman families of minor gods)
Ceres
Apollo
Juno
Jupiter
Saturn – the latter is the God of the Underworld; the others represent the breaking-down and return
Uranus
Pluto
Only seven centres are given in most systems; in this one can be seen other areas. These other areas represent the feet, the knees, one extra for the pubic area (because of the duality in the entity), the shoulders and the palms of the hands (healers are aware of this).
With Love and Wisdom expressed at every point we have the thirty-two marks of the Perfect Man.
The Book of the Dead gives indications of this system with the various parts corresponding to the different gods.
A lot of interest is being shown in the revival of the “old religion”. What we understand to be the old religion is that based upon the teachings of the Ancients – the one and only true religion of the Sun-Kings or Pre-Flood Patriarchs who actually expressed the realities of the Sonship of the Most High God. This religion is entirely devoid of the mumbo-jumbo attached to the ideas floating about today. Occult students living in this area (Great Britain) today need look no further for their facts regarding ancient sources of occult authority. This area was, in the distant past, a main centre of wisdom and it retains this importance. In fact, we will here remind you that this area is the main centre used by the very highest sources within the Cosmic Hierarchy Itself. Therefore you should not go seeking pseudo-oriental swamis who cash in on your credulity with their stupid yoga systems. True yoga is a Spiritual system of mental development.
This country still possesses its own great heritage of true mystical and occult science, and this is why we are operating from here, (at least, it is one of the reasons). We repeat that to apply this science it is not a matter of being crammed with information via books or courses, but rather a way of understanding the nature of your true self.
