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.

Third Initiation : Disciple and Mental Body

 We studied initiations until the second in our ealier posts. Today let us look at the third especially from the perspective of a disciple (rather than the ray as well as the external ceremonial aspect conferred during the wesak full moon which we will cover later). The third initiation marks the culmination of complete mastery of the mental (in the same way that the earlier two initiations resulted into the control of physical and astral planes). It is a distinct initiation, which marks a definite transition out of the form consciousness (lower personality of mental, emotional(astral) and physical planes), and the initiate can function at will on the plane of the intuition though soul (ego). Between the second and third initiation work is struggling with and mastering the energies of the mental world. What kind of work ? DK sums that for us (details found in TWM book) as -  "A. Work on the mental plane produces realisation of duality. The disciple seeks to blend and merge the...

Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

 Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):  "Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see: THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come. THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee. THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation. THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfa...

The Twelves of the Inner Ashram of Vicente Beltran Anglada

 The 'Inner Chamber of the Matrimandir Auroville' as seen by 'The Mother' in her inner visions and manifested at Auroville today is illustrated using a real concrete ashram of Vicente Beltran Anglada. The apparent simplicity of many initiates and disciples deprives the overly intellectualised mind of this natural recognition. They are too humble and never boast about their inner association with ashrams. A few, such as 'B', even begged VBA not to mention his details in the writings since he is very well known socially and did not want any indication to identify him from near or far. The composition of a second-ray sub-ashram was disclosed: 1 B. Relatively young; he is an excellent writer North American 2 C. Catholic missionary, mentioned in the South American “Knowledge” magazine from March 1970. Because he died after the festival of Wesak 1971 his square in the Ashrama was automatically occupied by Di...a South American disciple who since For many years she had...
