The gods of light and titans of the dark

 All was revealed there none can here express;

Vision and dream were fables spoken by truth

Or symbols more veridical than fact,

Or were truths enforced by supernatural seals.

Immortal eyes approached and looked in his,

And beings of many kingdoms neared and spoke:

The ever-living whom we name as dead

Could leave their glory beyond death and birth

To utter the wisdom which exceeds all phrase:

The kings of evil and the kings of good,

Appellants at the reason’s judgment seat,

Proclaimed the gospel of their opposites,

And all believed themselves spokesmen of God:

The gods of light and titans of the dark

Battled for his soul as for a costly prize.


In the hidden worlds on the inner subtle planes, everything that cannot be fully expressed in this outer material world was disclosed or made known as if the veil of matter had been lifted. Ashwapati saw incidents in his vision and dream indicating allegories and tales of truth, symbolically more genuine than the facts of the outer world. The symbols seen by Aswapati spoke much more truth than the facts he saw in everyday life. The divine signature guaranteed the effective implementation of the truth of those dreams. Aswapati saw the immortal beings inhabiting the worlds of the inner, subtle planes. Their eternal eyes peered into Ashwapati's eyes, and they approached and spoke with him. Some of them, who were physically dead here, were found gloriously ever-living there, left their glory to visit him, and whispered their deeper wisdom beyond all words here. In these subtle worlds, there were both conflicting powers, one lifting us and propelling our evolution while the other holding us back and dragging us into material existence. Both these kings of evil and good were like petitioners proving their case, while Reason was the judge ruling in their favour. Each of them was stating its case or the sacred truth of its own philosophy, contradicting each other, both presenting themselves as the mouthpieces or representatives of God. The opposing gods of light and titans of the dark fought for the precious gem of Ashwapti's soul to win him over their side.



The White (Hierarchy) and the Dark brothers in Theosophy:


Sri Aurobindo's opposing gods of light and titans of the dark fighting for the precious gem of Ashwapti's soul are precisely the energies and forces composing the White brotherhood (The Planetary Hierarchy) and dark forces on the planet. In their twenty four books on esoteric philosophy, Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey refresh the perennial philosophy (theosophy) and give the psychological keys to properly interpret "The Secret Doctrine". They describe in detail how the hierarchy works to consummate the Divine Will of our planetary Logos (Sanath Kumara) while the so called planetary evil retards (through the illusion of fragmented matter leading to separation, wars and conflicts) the smooth evolution of a human soul (through the interaction of spirit with matter) into it's divine nature. To quote a few lines from the first book of the series "Initiation, Human and Solar" -

 "Though the subject of the occult Hierarchy of the planet is of such a profoundly momentous interest to the average man, yet its real significance will never be understood until men realise three things in connection with it. First, that the entire Hierarchy of spiritual beings represents a synthesis of forces or of energies, which forces or energies are consciously manipulated for the furtherance of planetary evolution. This will become more apparent as we proceed. Secondly, that these forces, demonstrating in our planetary scheme through those great Personalities Who compose the Hierarchy, link it and all that it contains with the greater Hierarchy which we call Solar. Our Hierarchy is a miniature replica of the greater synthesis of those self-conscious Entities who manipulate, control, and demonstrate through the sun and the seven sacred planets, as well as the other planets, greater and smaller, of which our solar system is composed. Thirdly, that this Hierarchy of forces has four pre-eminent lines of work:—


1. To develop self-consciousness in all beings.

2. To develop consciousness in the three lower kingdoms.

3. To transmit the will of the Planetary Logos

4. To set an example to humanity. "


The following figure illustrates the composition of hierarchy, Master D.K. (or what I spell as Djwal Khul on the education ray 2) is the Tibetan master who has given the teachings of theosophy and the Seven Rays (so called ageless wisdom) to the wider world.

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

 Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri.  "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...

Seeds of synthesis

Some of the seeds of synthesis I have discovered (experiments are ongoing to give fair consideration and enlighten ourselves) so far between sciences, religions, philosophies are listed below for the lovers of truth and wisdom - Synthesis of mathematics - Category theory (Grothendieck, Saunders Maclane) Synthesis of religions - Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky) (A mathematical expression of the law of Karma or cause and effect is in my thesis) Synthesis of philosophies and Human Knowledge itself - A treatise on seven rays (24 Books of Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey) Synthesis of pyschology - Psychosynthesis (Roberto Assagioli), Humanistic astrology and soul-centred psychology (Dane Rudhyar, Alan Oken) Synthesis of ancient systems of Yoga - Synthesis of Yoga (Sri Aurobindo),Auroville (Experiment of synthesising city), Agni Yoga (Nicholas and Helena Roerich) Synthesis of agriculture - Permaculture (Masanobu Fukuoka) Synthesis of signal representation - Functorial Signal Representation Synthesi...

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...
