Yoga of Synthesis through Trinities

 Today we will take a brief look at how Cosmos itself does the yoga of synthesis from microcosm (atom) to macrocosm (man, planetary logos, solar logos ...) as explained by Blavatsky and Djwal Khul/Bailey.


I have prepared a Master Table of Triangles (this is a draft version) of Synthesis from The Secret Doctrine and Treatises of DK/AAB. The First, Second, Third aspects are themselves triads synthesized. This means every row of the table can be understood as three levels of synthesis. As an example highest apex is the synthesising point for the Logos from whence He abstracts the essence in manifestation; the other (next lower vextex) for the Monad, from whence the Monad abstracts and garners the fruits of objectivity which is still through the synthesis of Soul of the three-fold lower (at the third lower point).

 

The third aspect is often a Quaternary since many times the last aspect is split into two (such as etheric and physical separately) or else the combination of 3 leads to 4 ways (in context of rays) of doing them mathematically. 


I also give a general diagram which gives an asbtract picture of structures from microscosm (atom) to macrocosm (Man, Planetary Logos, Solar Logos ...) These unlock the mystery to numbers 3 (triads), 4 (quaternaries and crosses), 3+4 = 7 (septenaries), 3+3+1 = 7, 3+1+3 = 7 (inner triads on overall septenaries), 3+3+4 = 10 (tetractys), 3 X 4 = 12 (the triads of crosses and quaternaries) underlying the “Science of Triangles” in Secret Doctrine (HPB), 24 Books (DK/AAB) and a part of esoteric ageless wisdom lost in exoteric religions. 


We will later try and understand in detail how synthesis usually occurs on the (inner or upper) plane of abstract cause governing (outer or lower) concrete effect.


Meanwhile let's enjoy few words from the pen of a "Synthesiser Yogi" expressing profound harmony in a poetic masterpiece: (Can you feel synthesis through phrases such as "In a deep oneness of all things that are,", "The thousandfold expression of the One.", "These now became new portions of himself,", "Its fathomless feeling of the All in one", "That equates the unequal All to the equal One" and much more !)   


In a profound existence beyond earth’s

Parent or kin to our ideas and dreams

Where Space is a vast experiment of the soul,

In an immaterial substance linked to ours

In a deep oneness of all things that are,

The universe of the Unknown arose.

A self-creation without end or pause

Revealed the grandeurs of the Infinite:

It flung into the hazards of its play

A million moods, a myriad energies,

The world-shapes that are fancies of its Truth

And the formulas of the freedom of its Force.

...

...

Here all experience was a single plan,

The thousandfold expression of the One.

All came at once into his single view;

Nothing escaped his vast intuitive sight,

Nothing drew near he could not feel as kin:

He was one spirit with that immensity.

Images in a supernal consciousness

Embodying the Unborn who never dies,

The structured visions of the cosmic Self

Alive with the touch of being’s eternity

Looked at him like form-bound spiritual thoughts

Figuring the movements of the Ineffable.

...

...

All thought can know or widest sight perceive

And all that thought and sight can never know,

All things occult and rare, remote and strange

Were near to heart’s contact, felt by spirit-sense.

Asking for entry at his nature’s gates

They crowded the widened spaces of his mind,

His self-discovery’s flaming witnesses,

Offering their marvel and their multitude.

These now became new portions of himself,

The figures of his spirit’s greater life,

The moving scenery of his large time-walk

Or the embroidered tissue of his sense:

These took the place of intimate human things

And moved as close companions of his thoughts,

Or were his soul’s natural environment.

Tireless the heart’s adventure of delight,

Endless the kingdoms of the Spirit’s bliss,

Unnumbered tones struck from one harmony’s strings;

Each to its wide-winged universal poise,

Its fathomless feeling of the All in one,

Brought notes of some perfection yet unseen,

Its single retreat into Truth’s secrecies,

Its happy sidelight on the Infinite.

...

...

The Idea self-luminous key to all ideas,

The integer of the Spirit’s perfect sum

That equates the unequal All to the equal One,

The single sign interpreting every sign,

The absolute index to the Absolute.

Albert Einstein on Intuition

  Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore In Berlin , Germany - Some selected quotes and thoughts of Albert Einstein on intuition - The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. More than anything else, this new century demands new thinking: We must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives.  I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.  The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solu

More on Synthesis

 Again we shall contemplate on a few more words on the wisdom of synthesis (navigating the "narrow razor-edged Path" between duality or the "noble middle path" of Buddha) from our beloved DK. However I wish to emphasize that Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey demonstrated practical (not just theoretically) synthesis. For instance Alice Bailey being born in the west was open enough to acknowledge and bring forth teachings from a far wiser eastern/oriental master Djwal Khul. She could both surrender herself (a difficult quality to develop for the western concrete mind with its overemphasis on freedom) and at the same time was careful enough to guard herself against foolish blind devotion (a vice of oriental masses). Another disciple who demonstrated practical synthesis was Blavatsky (synthesis of religions). She established Theosophical society headquarters in the west and soon shifted it to the east although she worked and died for the cause of theosophy in the west. One mo

What is a seed-thought ?

 One of my friends questioned me: What is a seed-thought ? This post attempts to throw some light with example, on the concept of a seed-thought. Here is how we define it: "A seed-thought is simply a thought-form or a phrase or symbolic words which conceal a fundamental truth and acts as a seed that sprouts in a contemplative meditation (meditation with a seed) revealing that truth." A Seed-thought being a (thought-)form, we need to look also the broader concept of "form as a symbol", of which a seed-thought is just an example. Earlier we tabulated so many example of trinities. "Purpose - Idea - Form" is one such trinity of symbol. What this means is that every symbol has three interpretations - as a from it is an expression of some underlying idea. This idea has behind it, in its turn, a deeper underlying purpose. These three interpretations of a symbol can be summarized as: 1. Exoteric interpretation:  Based on its objective utility and upon the nature o
