with the manasic fire which energises the three head centres. i. kundalini and the three triangles the fire energising the triangle in the head is the higher correspondence to the triangle of prana, midway in the body, and its lower reflection at the base of the spine. we have, therefore, in the human unit three important triangles: 1. in the head: the triangle of the three major centres, a. the pineal gland, b. the pituitary body, c. the alta major centre. 2. in the body: the triangle of prana, a. between the shoulders, b. above the diaphragm, c. the spleen. 3. at the base of the spine: the three lower centres, a. a point at the bottom of the spinal column. b. and c. the two major sex organs in the male and female.62(54) the merging of the fires of matter and the fires of mind results in

ing man should normally enjoy. when the fires of matter have passed (united) still further along the etheric spinal channel they contact the fire of manas as it radiates from the throat centre. clarity of thought is here essential, and it will be necessary to elucidate somewhat this rather abstruse subject. 1. the three major head centres (from the physical standpoint) are the: a. alta centre, b. pineal gland, c. pituitary body. 2. they form a manasic triangle, after their juncture with the two fires of the two lower triangles, i.e, when they become synthetic. 3. but the purely manasic triangle prior to this merging is, a. the throat centre, b. the pineal gland, c. pituitary body. this is during the period when the human unit consciously aspires and throws his will on the side of evolution

man, so is the head centre a replica of this, and has within its sphere of influence seven other centres with itself for synthesis. these seven centres are likewise divided into the three major and the four minor centres, with their union and consummation seen in the gorgeous centre surmounting and enveloping them all. there are also three physical centres, called a. the alta major centre, b. the pineal gland, c. the pituitary body, with four lesser centres. these four lesser centres are blended in that centre which we call the alta major centre and need not concern us. i would here also point out that there is a close connection: a. between the alta major centre and the throat centre. b. between the heart centre and the pituitary body. c. between the head centre and the pineal gland. it w

ore under the force streams from the solar angels, and leading to a situation which will eventually result in a return of the lunar pitris of all degrees to the central point for force substance. in a psychic sense the result of the downflow is a stimulation of consciousness, and the acquisition (through that stimulation) of the psychic powers latent in man. his three higher physical centres, the pineal gland, the pituitary body, and the alta major centre are affected, and man becomes psychically aware in the physical brain of the higher influences, happenings and powers. according to the ray concerned, so is the centre affected. the force of the lunar lords, which has succeeded in keeping these three organs quiescent, is superseded and the solar angels pour in their energy. all this again

e spinal currents investigated. this third eye is one of the objects of kundalinic vivification, and in the spinal territory there is first the centre at the base of the spine, the home of the sleeping fire. next we have the triple channel along which that fire will travel in due course of evolution, and finally we find at the summit of the column, and surmounting all, that small organ called the pineal gland, which when vivified causes the third eye to open, and the beauties of the higher, subtler planes to stand revealed. all this physico-psychical occurrence is possible to man owing to certain events which happened to the heavenly serpent in the second, or serpent, round. these happenings necessitated the formation and evolution of that peculiar and mysterious family we call the reptili

of the indwelling man or thinker to the contact made upon his body. this increased awareness will be brought about by the arousing of the fifth spirilla, by the unfolding of the fifth petal in the egoic lotus, and by the gradual opening of the third eye through the arousing and uniform activity of five factors: the centre at the base of the spine, the three channels in the spinal column, and the pineal gland. all these factors involve the activity of deva essence, plus the resultant awareness of the thinker. this will be followed by the conscious use of the newly-awakened powers. in this manner the close interrelation and interdependence of the two lines of evolution becomes magnificently apparent. second, the mahachohan is working specifically at this time (in co-operation with the manu

fe thread. as it is woven and interlaced it becomes vitalised with the life energy sent down from the ego, just as shiva, the father, gives to the son the real "bios" or life, while the mother warms, builds, and nourishes the body. the work of the etheric elementals reaches its primary consummation when the sutratma is connected with the three centres of the physical nature within the cranium the pineal gland, the pituitary body, and the alta major centre. occultly, the most important connection is the entrance of the sutratma into the centre at the top of the head, that through which the life of the etheric body withdraws at the moment of death. this is the vital point. the "thread" of life there, by the time the seventh year is reached, has divided itself into three branches, reaching ou

mit of the direct application of force to the physical brain via the centre. b. physical brain impression. the accurate realisation by the physical brain of what the ego is seeking to convey concerning the work to be done only becomes possible when two things are realised: direct alignment. the transmission of the egoic energy or will to one or other of the three physical centres in the head: the pineal gland. the pituitary body. the alta major centre, or that nerve centre at the top of the spine, where the cranium and the spine make approximate contact. when this congery of nervesis fully developed, it forms a centre- 569- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust of communication between the vital energy of the spinal column (the kundalini fire) and the energy of the two head

n (the kundalini fire) and the energy of the two head centres above enumerated. it is the physical correspondence to the antaskarana on higher levels. chart x the science of meditation the pituitary body (in all cases of correct normal development) forms the centre which receives the threefold vitalisation pouring through the sutratma from the lower mental, the astral, and the etheric planes. the pineal gland comes into activity when this action is enhanced by the pouring through of energy from the ego on its own plane. when the antaskarana is in process of utilisation the alta major centre is likewise employed, and the three physical head centres begin to work as a unit, thus forming a kind of triangle. by the time the third initiation is reached, this triangle is fully awakened and the f

a greater sweep of activity, till their energy tends to negate that of the lower centres, to absorb their vitality and deflect the direction of their vitality, until the three higher wheels are in full fourth dimensional activity. as this proceeds, the three physical head centres begin to awake from dormancy into activity, the effect being felt as follows: a. as the major head centre awakens, the pineal gland begins to function. b. as the heart centre becomes fully alive, the pituitary body enters into activity- 571- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust c. as the throat centre assumes its right place in the process of evolution, the alta major centre vibrates adequately. when the triangle of force that these three physical centres form is in circulatory effect, the greater

in circulation; it then becomes a "wheel turning upon itself" the major etheric centres are in full action, and the man is nearing the moment of liberation. in the work of creation, as occultly carried on, all these three physical centres have to be utilised, and from a consideration of the subject it will become apparent why it has been necessary to deal with them in this order. by means of the pineal gland,89(255) the organ of spiritual perception, man ascertains the will and purpose of the ego, and from thence he draws the necessary energy from the higher levels, via the head centre and the sutratma. by means of the pituitary body, the second element of desire or of the form-building energy, becomes available, and under the law of attraction he can mould, and build in deva substance. w

ect, b. the spirit aspect, c. the father in heaven, d. the directing purpose, e. conscious energy, f. dynamic intent, and in the consideration of these phrases the innate faculties of the third eye will become apparent. the "eye of shiva" in the human being has its position, as is already known, in the centre of the forehead between the two physical eyes.3(268) it is not to be confounded with the pineal gland, which is distinctly a physical centre or gland. the third eye exists in etheric matter, and is an etheric centre of force, being made of the substance of the ethers, whereas the pineal gland is formed of matter of the three lower subplanes of the physical plane. the latter, nevertheless, has to be functioning more or less before the "eye of shiva" becomes in any degree active, and it

of evolution, hearing is the guiding impulse of human life through egoic contact with the top of the head. later, when the ego descends a little lower, the etheric centre which is active in connection with the pituitary body, is added, and man becomes responsive to subtler and higher vibrations; the occult correspondence to the physical sense of touch awakens. finally, the third eye opens and the pineal gland simultaneously begins to function. at first, the sight is dim, and the gland is only partially responsive to vibration, but gradually the eye opens fully, the gland is fully active, and we have the "fully awakened" man. when this is the case, the alta major- 597- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust centre vibrates and then the three physical head centres are functioni

lower man via the centres, through the unified activity of the- 666- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust causal body, is the co-ordination of the lower energies of the human being. these lower energies, as we know, demonstrate through the medium of: a. the three groups of centres in the three bodies. b. the etheric body itself. c. certain centres in the physical body such as the pineal gland, the pituitary body and the spleen. we are not here referring to the work of those centres as it is self-initiated because inherent in their very nature, but to the effects to be seen in them as the three tiers of petals function with increasing coherence, and the force latent in the jewel makes its presence felt. it might specifically be said that these effects show themselves in a t

er energies from the ego, and from the two higher material bodies. all is centralised, and the etheric vehicle waits for use on the physical plane in co-operation with the dense medium until the man can succeed in linking the consciousness of the two aspects of the dense body so that the continuity is preserved. this work accomplished, the three centres which are of a strictly physical nature the pineal gland, the pituitary body and the spleen-themselves become luminous and radiant, and all the fires of the body are so stimulated that the atoms which form the physical sheath appear to radiate. this is the occult truth behind the belief that every messenger from the lodge and every saviour of man is naturally a healer. the forces which flow through a man whose atoms, centres, sheaths, and c

ALICE A BAILEY05 THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL

" it is that clear apprehension of knowledge and a perfect comprehension of the things of the soul which is characteristic of the man who through concentration and meditation has achieved mind control. the mind then becomes the window of the soul, and through it the spiritual man can look out onto a new and higher realm of knowledge. simultaneously with the development of this type of vision, the pineal gland becomes active, and the third eye (in etheric matter- 43- the light of the soul copyright 1998 lucis trust develops with a paralleling activity. 6. spiritual vision or true perception. this type of vision opens up the world of the intuitional or buddhic plane, and takes its possessor beyond the abstract levels of the mental plane. the things of pure spirit, and the basic purposes unde

of the eight means to yoga and the purification of the life in the three worlds, deal with the man from the standpoint of the three worlds and bring about (in the man's physical brain) the power to discriminate between the real and the unreal and to discern the things of the spirit. they cause also certain changes of conditions within the head, reorganize the vital airs and act directly upon the pineal gland and the pituitary body. when these four: 1. practise, 2. purification, 3. discrimination, 4. discernment, are part of the life of the physical plane man, then the spiritual man, the ego or thinker on his own plane attends to his part of the liberating process and the final two stages are brought about from above downwards. this sixfold process is the correspondence upon the path of di

that gate, and tread the way of fire" the breath of god is felt as the cleansing breeze also and is the response of the soul to the aspiration of the disciple. the soul then "inspires" the lower man. the secondary meaning has of course direct reference to the work of the kundalini or serpent fire at the base of the spine as it responds to the soul vibration (felt in the head, in the region of the pineal gland, and called "the light in the head. mounting upward, it burns out all obstructions in the spinal etheric channel and vitalizes or electrifies the five centres up the spine and the two in the head. the vital airs within the ventricles of the head are also swept into activity and produce a cleansing, or rather eliminating effect therein. with this the student has as yet nothing to do, b

erred out of the lower brain consciousness into that of the spiritual man or soul on its own plane. the stages of this transfer might be stated to be as follows: 1. transfer of the consciousness of the body, the outgoing instinctual consciousness of the physical man, into the head. this necessitates a conscious withdrawal of the consciousness to a point within the brain in the neighborhood of the pineal gland, and its conscious definite centering there- 118- the light of the soul copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. transfer of the consciousness out of the head or brain into the mind or mental body. in this transfer, the brain remains keenly alert and the withdrawal is consciously undertaken via the etheric body, using the brahmarandra or opening at the top of the head. at no point is the man in

is withdrawal or abstracting process proceeds in stages: 1. the withdrawal of the physical consciousness, or perception through hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell. these modes of perception become temporarily dormant, and man's perception becomes simply mental and the brain consciousness is all that is active on the physical plane. 2. the withdrawal of the consciousness into the region of the pineal gland, so that man's point of realization is centralized in the region between the middle of the forehead and the pineal gland. 3. the next stage is that of abstracting the consciousness into the head centre, the thousand petalled lotus or sahasara, by knowingly withdrawing the consciousness out of the head. this can be done in full waking consciousness when certain rules are learned and ce

ciple and an act of the will) his withdrawal of the etheric body from the dense physical. this is covered by the word "abstraction" and entails: 1. a gathering together of the life or vital forces of the body into the physical plane nerve centres up the spine, 2. their direction up the spine to the head, 3. their concentration there and subsequent abstraction along the thread or sutratma, via the pineal gland and the brahmarandra, 4. the seer then stands in his true form, the etheric body, which is invisible to the human eye. as etheric vision develops in the race this will necessitate a further abstraction, then the seer will likewise withdraw the vital and luminous principles (the qualities of sattva and of rajas) out of the etheric body and stand in his kamic or astral body and thus be

rent that within the physical vehicle there is to be found a point of luminosity which (when contacted) will pour the light of the spirit upon the path of the disciple, thus illuminating the way, revealing the solution of all problems, and enabling him to stand as a light bearer to others. this light is in the nature of an internal radiance, its position is in the head, in the neighborhood of the pineal gland, and it is produced by the activity of the soul. a good deal of discussion has been aroused, by the term "central organ" associated with this- 160- the light of the soul copyright 1998 lucis trust light. some commentators refer this to the heart, others to the head. technically neither of them are entirely right, for to the trained adept the "central organ" is the causal vehicle, the

fore the light of life can be consciously employed. as the lotus centre of the heart opens and reveals the love of god, through meditation a synchronous unfoldment takes place within the head. the twelve petalled lotus in the head (which is the higher correspondence of the heart centre, and the intermediary between the twelve petalled egoic lotus on its own plane and the head centre) awakens. the pineal gland is gradually brought from a state of atrophy to full functioning activity and the centre of consciousness is transferred out of the emotional nature into the illuminated mind consciousness. this marks the transition which the mystic has to make onto the path of the occultist, keeping, as he always does, his mystical knowledge and awareness but adding to it the intellectual knowledge a

have produced physical correspondences or glands. their vibration is such that already in all men they sound, and through sounding attract and consequently produce a form. in the disciple or initiate these three centres not only sound but form words; they therefore command the building of vital forces and take the entire man under control. the glands corresponding to the three centres are: 1. the pineal gland and pituitary body. head centre- 168- the light of the soul copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. the thyroid gland. throat centre, 3. the spleen. heart centre "out of the heart are the issues of life; from it the current of the life blood circulates; from its development in the atlantean race and the consequent coordination and growth of the astral or emotional body, the heart centre has bec

the sons of men are distinguished from the animal kingdom by the possession of intelligence, of the rational reasoning mind. hence in the ageless wisdom, the secret doctrine of the world, human beings are frequently called "sons of mind" it is this which gives them their sense of individuality, of their separate identity; it is this which makes them egos. in the centre of the brain, seated in the pineal gland, we are told is the home of the soul, an- 175- the light of the soul copyright 1998 lucis trust outpost of the life of god, a spark of pure spiritual fire. this is the lowest point which pure spiritual life, direct from the monad, our father in heaven, contacts or reaches. it is the termination of the sutratma, or thread which links and connects the various sheaths and passes from the

l planes, and for all states of consciousness. one strand of this triple thread or path, the first, is the giver of life, of spirit, of energy. another, the second, is responsible for the consciousness or intelligence aspect, for the power of spirit to respond to contact and to evolve response. the third concerns the life of the matter or body aspect. the first aspect via the monad reaches to the pineal gland the point where spirit resides in man. the second or consciousness aspect, via the ego, makes a point of contact with the heart centre, whilst the third aspect or third part of the sutratma links up with the centre at the base of the spine, which is the main source of the personality or bodily activity. through concentration, therefore, on the light in the head, knowledge of the spiri

at of instinct, and the cerebral cortex, which is the seat of the allied faculties of intellect and intuition."21(108) this position is closely paralleled with that of the oriental teaching, which posits the functioning co-ordinating centre of the entire lower nature to be in the region of the pituitary body, and the point of contact of the higher self and the intuition to be in the region of the pineal gland. the situation is, therefore, as follows: the mind receives illumination from the soul, in the form of ideas thrown into it, or of intuitions which convey exact and direct knowledge, for the intuition is ever infallible. this process is in turn repeated by the active mind, which throws down into the receptive brain the intuitions and knowledge which the soul has transmitted. when this

the west, as we have seen earlier in this book, place the higher mental faculties and the seat of the intuition in the higher brain, and the lower mental faculties and the higher emotional reactions in the lower brain. this is in line with the eastern teaching that the soul (with the higher knowledge and the faculty of intuitional perception) has its seat in a centre of force in the region of the pineal gland, whereas the personality has its seat in a centre of force in the region of the pituitary body. the hypothesis upon which the newer school in the educational field will eventually proceed (if the theories propounded in this book have any basis in fact) might be expressed in the following propositions: one: the centre of energy through which the soul works is in the upper brain. during

vibration of the centre of energy in its neighborhood becomes very powerful. it should be noted that according to this theory, when the personality is of a low order, when the reactions are mainly instinctual and the mind is practically non-functioning, then the centre of energy is in the neighborhood of the solar plexus, and the man is more animal in nature. four: the centre in the region of the pineal gland, and the higher brain, are brought into activity through learning to focus the attentive consciousness in the head. in the oriental books this is called by the interesting term "right withdrawal" or "right abstraction" this means the development of the capacity to subjugate the outward-going tendencies of the five senses. so the aspirant is taught the right withdrawal or abstraction o

the withdrawal of the physical consciousness, or perception through hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell. these modes of perception become temporarily dormant, and man's perception becomes simply mental and the brain consciousness is all that is active on the physical plane- 94- from intellect to intuition copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. the withdrawal of the consciousness into the region of the pineal gland, so that man's point of realization is centralized in the region between the middle of the forehead and the pineal gland.3(131) five: when this has been done, and the aspirant is acquiring the ability so to focus in the head, the result of this process of abstraction is as follows: the five senses are being steadily synthesized by the sixth sense, the mind. this is the co-ordinating f

the brain can be directly impressed by the soul, via the mind. the brain consciousness is held in a positive waiting condition with all its reactions to the phenomenal world utterly, though temporarily, inhibited. sixth: the high grade intellectual personality, with its focus of attention in the region of the pituitary body, begins to vibrate in unison with the higher centre in the region of the pineal gland. then a magnetic field is set up between the positive soul aspect and the waiting personality which is rendered receptive by the process of focussed attention. then the light, we are told, breaks forth, and we have the illumined man, and the appearance of the phenomenal light in the head. all this is the result of a disciplined life, and the focussing of the consciousness in the head

ete accord and alignment. when this is the case, the work of initiation and its interludes of active discipleship become possible. before this time the work cannot proceed. this is foreshadowed in the aspirant when there is enacted a symbolic happening in the light in the head which is the forerunner of the later stage of initiation. in this stage, the soul light penetrates into the region of the pineal gland; there it produces an irradiation of the ethers of the head, of the vital airs; this produces a stimulation of the atoms of the brain so that their light is fused and blended with the other two, the etheric light and the soul light, and there is then produced that inner radiant sun of which the aspirant becomes conscious in his physical brain experience. frequently students speak of a

mind and wasted motion. 1. the master looks for the light in the head. 2. he investigates the karma of the aspirant. 3. he notes his service in the world. unless there is indication that the man is what is termed esoterically "a lighted lamp" it is useless for the master to waste his time. the light in the head, when present, is indicative of: a. the functioning to a greater or less extent of the pineal gland, which is (as is well known) the seat of the soul and the organ of spiritual perception. it is in this gland that the first physiological changes take place incident upon soul contact and this contact is brought about through definite work along meditation lines, mind control, and the inflow of spiritual force. b. the aligning of the man on the physical plane with his ego, soul or hig

wakening in the three major centres. this cannot be more than hinted at owing to the abstruseness of the subject. so many factors govern this awakening, and each aspirant has to determine for himself the order and mode of his awakening. the centre between the eyebrows, commonly called the third eye has a unique and peculiar function. as i have pointed out elsewhere, students must not confound the pineal gland with the third eye. they are related, but not the same. in the secret doctrine they are apparently regarded as the same, and the casual reader can easily confound them but they are by no means identical. this h. p. b. knew, but the apparent confusion was permitted until more of the etheric nature of forms was known. the third eye manifests as a result of the vibratory interaction betw

d, but not the same. in the secret doctrine they are apparently regarded as the same, and the casual reader can easily confound them but they are by no means identical. this h. p. b. knew, but the apparent confusion was permitted until more of the etheric nature of forms was known. the third eye manifests as a result of the vibratory interaction between the forces of the soul, working through the pineal gland, and the forces of the personality, working through the pituitary body. these negative and positive forces interact, and when potent enough produce the light in the head. just as the physical eye came into being in response to the light of the sun so the spiritual eye equally comes into being in response to the light of the spiritual sun. as the aspirant develops he becomes aware of t

dy of the soul, standing as the intermediary between spirit and matter, life and form, the monad and the personality. this can also be discussed and understood in terms of the centres. as every student knows, there are two centres in the head. one centre is between the eyebrows and has the pituitary body as its objective manifestation. the other is in the region at the top of the head and has the pineal gland as its concrete aspect. the pure mystic has his consciousness centred in the top of the head, almost entirely in the etheric body. the advanced worldly man is centred in the pituitary region. when, through occult unfoldment and esoteric knowledge, the relation between the personality and the soul is established there is a midway spot in the centre of the head in the magnetic field whi

and their forces constitute the brain forces. on the physical plane are a large band of aspirants, probationary disciples and accepted disciples who are seeking to be responsive to the "head centre, some consciously, others unconsciously. they are gathered from all fields of expression but are all creative in some way or other. they in their turn constitute what might be symbolically called the "pineal gland" of humanity. as in individual man this is usually dormant and asleep, so, in humanity, this group of cells within the brain of the body corporate is dormant, but thrilling to the vibrations of the head centre the occult hierarchy. some of the cells are awake. let them intensify their endeavour and so awaken others. the pioneers of the human family, the scientists, thinkers and artist

mant, but thrilling to the vibrations of the head centre the occult hierarchy. some of the cells are awake. let them intensify their endeavour and so awaken others. the pioneers of the human family, the scientists, thinkers and artists constitute the pituitary body. they express the concrete mind but lack that intuitive perception and idealism which would place them (symbolically speaking) in the pineal gland; they are nevertheless brilliant, expressive and investigating. the objective of the hierarchy (again symbolically speaking) is to make the pineal gland so potent and, therefore, so attractive that the pituitary body of cell lives may be stimulated and thus a close interplay be brought about. this will lead to such potent action that there will be a streaming forth of new cells to the

ineal gland; they are nevertheless brilliant, expressive and investigating. the objective of the hierarchy (again symbolically speaking) is to make the pineal gland so potent and, therefore, so attractive that the pituitary body of cell lives may be stimulated and thus a close interplay be brought about. this will lead to such potent action that there will be a streaming forth of new cells to the pineal gland and at the same time such a strong reaction set up that the entire body will be affected, resulting in the streaming upward of many stimulated lives to take the places of those who are finding their way into the centre of hierarchical endeavour. the "waters of space, in which this re-orientation and reversal of tendencies is progressing, are in a state of violent turmoil. the vortex o

definite relation to the individual unfoldment (in the physical body) of the spiritual life of the disciple. let me put it very simply. students know that there are in the head two centres, the ajna centre and the head centre, two balls of fire, symbolic of the fiery consciousness of the soul, and not of the animal consciousness of the body. these two centres (externalised by the two glands, the pineal gland and the pituitary body) become vibrant and alive and intensely active, through service and meditation and right aspiration. a line of contact between them is eventually set up and established with increasing potency. there is also another line of outgoing fiery power toward the top of the spinal column. as the life of the soul gets stronger, the radiance of the centres increases, and

ecognition of energy and its right use. the second point i seek to make is that these inner energies make their contact through the medium of the vital or etheric body, which is composed of energy streams; these work through seven focal points or centres of force in the etheric body. these centres of energy are found in close proximity to, or in relation to, the seven sets of major glands: 1. the pineal gland. 2. the pituitary body. 3. the thyroid and para-thyroid glands- 251- a treatise on the seven rays- volume ii: esoteric psychology ii copyright 1998 lucis trust 4. the thymus gland. 5. the pancreas. 6. the adrenals. 7. the gonads. these centres are: 1. the head centre. 2. the centre between the eyebrows. 3. the throat centre. 4. the heart centre. 5. the solar plexus centre. 6. the cent

consciously in the majority of cases from the three worlds of human enterprise and activity. when the heart centre and the head centres are awakened and used by the interior and the exterior forces, you have the beginning of the mystical and occult life. there are two reasons for this period of excessive difficulty: 1. the thread of consciousness in the head is anchored in the neighborhood of the pineal gland. the thread of life is to be found anchored in the heart. the turning of the forces (found below the diaphragm) into the solar plexus and from thence into the heart and the head brings those two major streams of energy (one coming from the monad via the soul body to the heart centre, and the other coming from the soul direct to the highest head centre) to the attention of the mystic

es, is due to the awakening of this centre and to the discovery of an unrecognised capacity in humanity to become group conscious, and to undertake group service. the thymus gland, which controls in a peculiar manner the life aspect in man, is closely connected with the heart centre, as might be expected. this gland must eventually become more active in the adult than is now the case, just as the pineal gland in the coming human races will no longer be an atrophied organism with its true functions not understood and comprehended, but it will be an active and important part of man's equipment. this will take place normally and naturally as man learns to function as a soul and not just as a personality. d. again, much trouble among people is due at this time to the awakening of the throat ce

physiological change and many problems and above everything else much psychological difficulty. 6. the activity of the ajna centre will increase a great deal during the coming century, bringing with it its own attendant problems. its close relation to the pituitary body and the growing interplay between a. the ajna centre and the pituitary body b. the centre at the top of the head (involving the pineal gland) and the ajna centre will produce serious problems connected with the brain and the eyes. the ajna centre focusses the abstracted energy of the five centres up the spine and is the seat of personality power. according to the use made of that power and according to the direction of the force sent forth throughout the body by the directed, integrated personality, so will the organs of t

nsion (becoming so prevalent today among the more advanced people of the world) and certain forms of brain trouble and nervous disorders, its power is mostly seen in its pronounced psychological effects. with these i shall proceed to deal as we consider the unfoldment of the psychic powers, the evolution of the mystical vision and the revelation of the light and of power. this centre controls the pineal gland and consequently certain areas of the brain. indirectly also, the vagus nerve is affected. consciousness and life, sensitivity and directed purpose are the great energies which express themselves through this centre, for consciousness is a form of energy, as well you know, and life is energy itself. b. unfoldment of the psychic powers the forces which are responsible for the awakening

nding to that stage wherein the play of the forces is physical-etheric-astral. this is the stage of psychic development. 2. the ajna centre between the eyebrows, corresponding to the period of integration and of personality control, wherein certain areas of the brain become sensitised and used. this is the stage of mental development. 3. the head centre, involving the entire brain area around the pineal gland, wherein the spiritual man assumes control. this is the stage of soul control. it is in this latter stage that the higher psychic faculties come into play and the lower powers can then again be used, if deemed desirable. the initiate has full control of all faculties and powers, and knows both when and how to use them the most profitably and with the least expenditure of energy. it sh

difficulties if one so desires one related to the physical registering of the light in the head and the other to the acquiring of knowledge. this registering of light within the periphery of the skull is connected with the relation to be found between the head centre and the centre between the eyebrows; that is, between the area (localised around the pituitary body) and that localised around the pineal gland. the vibratory effect, you know, of those two centres can become so strong that the two vibrations or their "pulsating rhythmic activity" can swing into each other's field of action and a unified magnetic field can be set up which can become so powerful, so brilliant and so pronounced that the disciple when closing his eyes can see it plainly. it can be visually sensed and known. even

e eyes or over the right shoulder. 2. the sensing of this diffused misty light within the head, permeating, apparently, the entire head. 3. the concentrating of this diffused light until it has the appearance of a radiant sun. 4. the intensifying of the light of this inner sun. this is in reality the recognition of the radiance of the magnetic field, established between the pituitary body and the pineal gland (as expressions of the head and the ajna centres. this radiance can at times seem almost too bright to be borne. 5. the extension of the rays of this inner sun first to the eyes, and then finally beyond the radius of the head so that (to the vision of the clairvoyant seer) the halo makes its appearance around the head of the disciple or aspirant. 6. the discovery that there is, at the

flowing through them remains unused or misapplied. much of the physical blindness and the poor sight to be found in the world today (unless the result of accident) is due to the presence of the light of the head unrecognised and unused and thus producing or exciting a definite effect upon the eyes and upon the optic nerve. technically speaking, the light of the soul localised in the region of the pineal gland works through and would be directed through the right eye which is (as you have been told) the organ of the buddhi, whilst the light of the personality localised in the region of the pituitary body functions through the left eye. the time has not yet come when this statement means much except to very advanced students, but it should be on record for the future use of disciples and asp

t is at this time) of the entire glandular system; it is, therefore, of basic importance that there should be understanding of this relation for it is one of the fundamental things upon which the health of the entire body and its right functioning rests. 2. when there is a correct grasp of this subject, it will be found that the brain and the two head centres (actuating the pituitary body and the pineal gland) are the directing agents for all the activities of the man upon the physical plane. today, he is largely directed by his animal instincts, by his sexual life and by his emotional reactions or else by his creative activities as they express themselves through the throat centre. a few very few of his activities are directed from the heart, but eventually men must control their life exp

reative activities as they express themselves through the throat centre. a few very few of his activities are directed from the heart, but eventually men must control their life expression from the head via the dual organs of the soul and the personality the ajna centre, working through the pituitary body and expressing the personality life at its highest, and the head centre, working through the pineal gland, responsive to soul impulse. there will then be balance and right direction of all the life forces and a right development (following ray indications) of all the centres in the body. 3. through this right re-arrangement of the life forces in the body and their consequent "enlightenment and energising, men will be enabled to do two things, speaking symbolically: a. they will "see god"

ols) is simply an exercise to bring about the power to visualise. in the work of those disciples who are being trained for initiation, this external aspect of visualisation must give place to an interior process which is the first step towards the direction of energy. the visualising of pictures is intended to focus the aspirant within the head at a point midway between the pituitary body and the pineal gland. in that area, he draws pictures and paints scenes and thus acquires facility to see in large and in detail that which he desires and for which he intends to work. the visualising of what might be called "directed process" goes on in a more focussed manner and in the area directly around the pineal gland. the pineal gland then becomes the centre of a magnetic field which is set in mot

ght 1998 lucis trust brought into play. 2. the power to visualise is the form-building aspect of the creative imagination. this process falls into three parts, corresponding somewhat to the creative process followed by deity itself: a. the gathering of qualified energy within a ring-pass-not. b. the focussing of this energy under the power of intention, i.e, at a point in the neighbourhood of the pineal gland. the energy is now focussed and not diffused. c. the despatch of this focussed energy by means of a pictorial process (not by an act of the will at this time) in any desired direction that is, to certain centres in a certain order. this process of energy direction can become a spiritual habit if disciples would begin to do it slowly and gradually. at first, the visualising process may

eek to serve our fellowmen. this full moon work involves the use of the creative imagination, the cultivation of the power to visualise, the intensification of the magnetic vibration of the ajna centre, and consequently of the pituitary body. this establishes a magnetic field for the interplay of the currents and energies which are brought into action by the activity of the head centre and of the pineal gland. these higher forces are brought in and utilised in the meditation processes followed by all the group. i have nothing to say in connection with your life of service and activity. that will go on naturally, and as ever in the case with all true aspirants, must be rendered with no thought of self but in an effort to meet the need of those within your environment who look to you for hel

bols. i would ask you to note that generalities concerning the intuition, and attempts to define it are very common, but that a real appreciation of it is rare. we are told by physicians and scientists that thousands of cells in the human brain are still dormant and, consequently, that the average human being uses only a small part of his equipment. the area of the brain which is found around the pineal gland is that connected with the intuition, and it is these cells which must be roused into activity before there can be any real intuitive perception which, when aroused, will manifest soul control, spiritual illumination, true psychological understanding of one's fellowmen, and a development of the true esoteric sense, which is the objective before you at this time. i would like to divide

truse. all i can do is to put before you its three aspects and then to urge upon you the need to submit to that training and to apply to yourselves that discipline which will work out in your life as love, light and understanding. when the theory is grasped and the right adjustments are made and when the needed work is done, the personality then becomes magnetic, whilst the brain cells around the pineal gland, which have hitherto been dormant, become awakened and vibrant. the nucleus of every cell in the body is a point of light, and when the light of the intuition is sensed, it is this cell-light which will immediately respond. the continuance of the inflow of the light of the intuition will draw forth, esoterically speaking, into the light of day every cell which is so constituted that i

ife-giving principle, the will-to-live, to all parts of the human frame. these create a great triangle of force, concerned with matter, with substance, form-building, creation, vitality and persistence in form. this triangle is a reflection of a much higher one, composed of 1. the throat centre, corresponding to the sacral centre. 2. the pituitary body, corresponding to the splenic centre. 3. the pineal gland, corresponding to the basic centre. in the relation of these two triangles lies the clue to the instinct of self-preservation, the survival of the subtle bodies after death, and the principle of immortality which is seated in the soul and functions when self-preservation and survival no longer hold sway. this constitutes a triplicity of ideas which requires most careful study and whic

ases which are sometimes recognised as affiliates but are frequently not so known. those diseases which are loosely called mental diseases, and which are related to the brain, are little understood as yet. there was very little mental trouble in the last rootrace, the atlantean; the mind nature was then quiescent and little stimulation was conveyed through mental levels via the head centre to the pineal gland and the brain. there was very little eye trouble either, and no nasal difficulties, for the ajna centre was unawakened and the third eye rapidly becoming inactive. the ajna centre is the organ of the integrated personality, the instrument of direction, and is closely related to the pituitary body and the two eyes, as well as to all the frontal areas of the head. in atlantean days, per

onality now illumined and sublimated. having these thoughts in mind, i would call your attention to the entire theme of vision, which necessarily underlies our consideration of the points of revelation. it is simple to recognise that in the head of the developing aspirant there is a mechanism of great potency, capable of controlling the life of the personality. there is: 1. the third eye, not the pineal gland but its etheric correspondence. this is the responsive mechanism to the directing eye of the soul. 2. the right eye and the left eye, which take the incoming energy, symbolically speaking, and divide it into two streams which are the correspondence in etheric matter of buddhi-manas. a. right eye. spiritual energy. buddhi. pure reason. understanding. b. left eye. mental energy. manas

the path of light. ponder on this. it has also interior repercussions and was indeed the result of an invocative interplay between inner centres of power and the groping creature in the phenomenal world. man is now learning to use the eye of the soul, and as he does so he brings its correspondence in the head also into functioning activity; this produces fusion and identification, and brings the pineal gland into action. the major result, however, is to enable the disciple to become aware, whilst in the physical body, of a new range of contacts and perceptions. this marks a crisis in his unfoldment of as drastic and important a nature as the attaining of physical sight and the use of the physical eye was in the unfoldment of the curious creature which antedated the most primitive animal m

orld of spiritual being. of these two worlds of sense perception, the two eyes are the symbol, as you know. 1. achieve quiet. relax with as much rapidity as possible and with little mental activity. then raise the consciousness to the ajna centre. 2. sound the om, visualising the integration of the personality with the soul. in doing this, link the pituitary centre with the head centre, above the pineal gland. 3. then pause and after a mental grasp of what is to be done proceed as follows- 421- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust a. take a long breath and draw the energy from the throat centre in so doing. b. repeat the breathing and draw the energy from the heart centre, holding these two withdrawn energies imaginatively in the ajna centre. c. repeat the proc

e of consciousness within the all-enveloping life. these three points of anchorage within the sphere of the planetary consciousness, or (if you like it better, though remembering ever that we are speaking and thinking in terms of symbols) in the planetary brain, find their feeble correspondence in the three points of sensitivity in the head of a disciple or initiate, that is, in the region of the pineal gland, the pituitary body and the carotid gland. these, as you know, are to be found within the areas to which we give the names the head centre, the ajna centre and the alta major centre. these correspondences are very real, even though functioning upon a minute scale; the initiate achieves his desired "perfecting" when the triad within his head is related, and love, will and intelligence

nd of its mental peculiarities, as well as of the emotional states and the thoughts of the people contacted in the environment. 2. the brain is largely conditioned by the endocrine system, and this far more than the endocrinologists would care to admit: a. it is powerfully conditioned by three major glands which are found in close relation to the brain substance. these are the pituitary body, the pineal gland and the carotid gland. b. these form a triangle, practically unrelated in primitive man, occasionally related in average man, and closely related in the spiritual man. c. these glands are objective correspondences of the three energy centres, by means of which the soul, or the indwelling spiritual man, controls his physical vehicle. d. where the relation is close between the three gla

ansmitter of pure energy or life it uses the carotid gland controlled by the alta major centre, and establishes a close relation with the heart and the heart centre. b. as a recipient of mental energy or of energy from the soul, the ajna centre becomes the directing agency; this is the centre which controls the pituitary body. c. these energies are received via the head centre, which controls the pineal gland. emotional energy enters the personality system via the solar plexus centre, where it either controls or is transmuted and elevated. it is this triple mechanism in the head both objective and subjective which uses the physical brain as a receiving agent and as a transmitting agent. it is this which is brought into creative activity and thus under the control of the disciple in trainin

more prominent and important a character than the mere superficial details with which they are compared by darwin. why not candidly admit the argument in favour of the hermaphroditism which characterises the old fauna? occultism proposes a solution which embraces the facts in a most comprehensive and simple manner. these relics of a prior androgyne stock must be placed in the same category as the pineal gland, and other organs as mysterious, which afford us silent testimony as to the reality of functions which have long since become atrophied in the course of animal and human progress, but which once played a signal part in the general economy of primeval life. the occult doctrine, anyhow, can be advantageously compared with that of the most liberal men of science, who have theorised upon

top of the forehead. it is considered the most archaic of all the ancient statues (schol. vatic. ad eurip. troad. 14* the inner sight could henceforth be acquired only through training and initiation, save in the cases of "natural and born magicians" sensitives and mediums, as they are called now* this expression "petrified" instead of "ossified" is curious. the "back eye" which is of course the pineal gland, now socalled, the small pea-like mass of grey nervous matter attached to the back of the third ventricle of the brain, is said to almost invariably contain mineral concretions and sand, and "nothing more (vide infra[[vol. 2, page] 295 occult physiology. the undefiled lanoo (disciple, chela) need fear no danger; he who keeps himself not in purity (who is not chaste) will receive no he

ching as to the gradual development of senses "from within without" from astral prototypes, is far more satisfactory: the third eye retreated inwards when its course was run- another point in favour of occultism. the allegorical expression of the hindu mystics when speaking of the "eye of siva" the tri-bochana("three-eyed, thus receives its justification and raison d'etre- the transference of the pineal gland (once that "third eye) to the forehead, being an exoteric licence. this throws also a light on the mystery- incomprehensible to some- of the connection between abnormal, or spiritual seership, and the physiological purity of the seer. the question is often asked "why should celibacy and chastity be a sine qua non rule and condition of regular chelaship, or the development of psychic a

development, and especially to the acquirement of yoga powers, is the activity of our physiological senses. sexual action being closely connected, by interaction, with the spinal cord and the grey matter of the brain, it is useless to give any longer explanation. of course, the normal and abnormal state of the brain, and the degree of active work in the medulla oblongata, reacts powerfully on the pineal gland, for, owing to the number of "centres" in that region, which controls by far the greater majority of the physiological actions of the animal economy, and also owing to the close and intimate neighbourhood of the two, there must be exerted a very powerful "inductive" action by the medulla on the pineal gland. all this is quite plain to the occultist, but is very vague in the sight of t

blind snakes and lizards. they shun daylight. dwelling under the ground. they were not originally blind but have evolved from ancestors that lived in the light and had well-developed eyes. the atrophied eye beneath the opaque skin may be found in these blind beings in every stage of reversion("sense organs" haeckel) and if two eyes could become so atrophied in lower animals, why not one eye- the pineal gland- in man, who is but a higher animal in his physical aspect[[vol. 2, page] 297 the cyclops, no myth. thing else. there were and are paleontologists who feel convinced to this day that this "third eye" has functioned in its origin, and they are certainly right. for this is what is said of the pineal gland in quain's anatomy (vol. ii. ninth edit, pp. 830-851 "thalamencephalon" interbrain

se with the optic thalami. so that the recent discoveries in connection with the third eye of hatteria punctata have a very important bearing on the developmental history of the human senses, and on the occult assertions in the text. it is well known (and also regarded as a fiction now, by those who have ceased to believe in the existence of an immortal principle in man) that descartes saw in the pineal gland the seat of the soul. although it is joined to every part of the body, he said, there is one special portion of it in which the soul exercises its functions more specially than in any other. and, as neither the heart, nor yet the brain could be that "special" locality, he concluded that it was that little gland tied to the brain, yet having an action independent of it, as it could eas

that "special" locality, he concluded that it was that little gland tied to the brain, yet having an action independent of it, as it could easily be put into a kind of swinging motion "by the animal spirits* which cross the cavities of the skull in every sense" unscientific as this may appear in our day of exact learning, descartes was yet far nearer the occult truth than is any haeckel. for the pineal gland, as shown, is far more connected with soul and spirit than with the physiological senses of man. had the leading scientists a glimmer of the real processes employed by the evolutionary impulse, and the winding cyclic course of this great law, they would know instead of conjecturing; and feel as certain of the future physical transformations of the human kind by the knowledge of its pa

tionary impulse, and the winding cyclic course of this great law, they would know instead of conjecturing; and feel as certain of the future physical transformations of the human kind by the knowledge of its past forms. then, would they see the fallacy and all the absurdity of their modern "blind-force" and mechanical processes of nature; realizing, in consequence of such knowledge, that the said pineal gland, for instance, could not but be disabled for physical use at this stage of our cycle. if the odd "eye" in man is now atrophied, it is a proof that, as in the lower animal, it has once been active; for nature never creates the smallest, the most insignificant form without some definite purpose and use. it was an active organ, we say, at that stage of evolution when the spiritual elemen

and that the optic thalami, corpora quadrigemina, and corpora striata are the principal parts which are developed in the mammalian brain. moreover it is asserted that the intellect of any man may to some extent be gauged by the development of the central convolutions and the fore part of the cerebral hemispheres. it would seem a natural corollary that if the development and increased size of the pineal gland may be considered to be an index of the astral capacities and spiritual proclivities of any man, there will be a corresponding development of that part of the cranium, or an increase in the size of the pineal gland at the expense of the hinder part of the cerebral hemispheres. it is a curious speculation which would receive a confirmation in this case. we should see, below and behind

be taking place when we hypothesize the sun s energy. through complex ways and distinct pathways this energy must enter the body. there is a pathway from the retinas, to the hypothalamus, called the retinohypothalamic tract. this tract brings information about the dark and light cycles to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (scn) of the hypothalamus. from the scn, impulses along the nerve travel via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nerves system) to the pineal gland. these impulses, inhibit the production of melatonin. when these impulses stop (at night or in dark, when the light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus) pineal inhibition ceases, and melatonin is released. the pineal gland (or the third eye) is therefore a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper for the human body. the unexplo

ture prana for feeding: on a practical level we recommend that in order to access solar or plant and earth nourishment you do the following. spend a few minutes every dawn and dusk time looking directly into the sun. your body will absorb the sun s nutrition via the pores of your skin and through your eyes. it will then take this nourishing light directly into your brain and circulate it via your pineal and pituitary glands and through the hypothalamus. next do this while lying in the ocean. this is highly recommended by the indian yogis as the combination of solar feeding while immersing the body in the ocean s ionic particles is very nourishing. doing surya yoga* on the beach is also very nourishing. walk regularly along the ocean shore to absorb wind prana or in high mountains and breat

al state every cell of the body is nourished with divine love and feels completely fulfilled as happens automatically when we are tuned to the theta field. the practice of sacred sexuality among metaphysicians is becoming a more common way to nourish ourselves but what is less commonly understood in the journey of divine nutrition, is the role that the violet light and the pituitary gland and the pineal gland play. dow power 8. the dow power tool of the violet light& the divine amrita& our pineal& pituitary gland activation: techniques 12, 13& 14. dow power is activated naturally via the above 8 point lifestyle in technique 5, and the programming codes in technique 10 which keeps our bio-system tuned and open to the divine nutrition channel. as our dow is the original boss of the bio-syste

ural and genetic influences. our dow& the violet light: how our dow physically, emotionally and mentally expresses itself is through waves of love and light. the love is what we feel when we sit and meditate and seek the experience of oneness with our dow in silence, nourishes our physical and emotional bodies. the light is what we see when we focus on our third eye and activate our pituitary and pineal glands plus the hypothalamus. which acts as an inner television screen, which in turn allows us to see this violet light of our dow. and it is this light which nourishes our mental body as it carries with it light codes and light packets of information from the source of supreme intelligence that many call god. diagram 6: the ancient wisdom s three fold flame of violet light is said to exis

en the spirit (dow) awakens, it resides in the hypothalamus. when the pineal and hypothalamus are connected, they give out a powerful balanced force. the taoists also talk of a spiritual cauldron or inner source of energy that when tapped into can heal and feed the body and sustain physical longevity or even create immortality if desired. on page 11, mantak also talks about how when activated the pineal gland initiates a cascade of inhibitory reactions, permitting visions and dream-states to emerge in our conscious awareness. eventually the brain synthesizes the spirit molecules 5-methoxydimethyltryptamine (5-meo-dmt) and dimethyltryptamine (dmt, facilitating the transcendental experiences of universal love and compassion. interestingly enough mantak s research also shares that when activa

imethyltryptamine (5-meo-dmt) and dimethyltryptamine (dmt, facilitating the transcendental experiences of universal love and compassion. interestingly enough mantak s research also shares that when activated the hypothalamus also regulates not just the blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, but also body weight via a process of dynamic equilibrium. consequently, when the pineal gland is flooded with violet light and activated and connected with the hypothalamus, via light streams and programming codes, then the reality that we can consciously program perfect weight into the body appears quite natural. another interesting taoist point is that the north star controls some 500 billion stars of which earth is one and that the universe has 6 trillion plus stars which e

which is the 8 herz vibration of the alpha. theta field. when these master glands are activated by also flooding them with violet light, our bio-system also attracts more of the higher elements of akasa and cosmic fire which are the two elements connected to these glands and also the two elements that work with our crown and brow chakras. while the pituitary gland produces the divine amrita, the pineal gland produces a substance called pinoline which also tunes the brain to the theta. delta zone. when activated and tuned to the theta. delta wave these glands act as cosmic transmission stations allowing us to feed more successfully on the violet light radiation, that also streams not just through the north star, but through our sun which acts as a giant radiating grid point that downloads

downloads the transmissions from the central sun of the inner realms. successful level 3 nourishment is dependant on the activation of these glands. dr shah writes of these glands: while going through the details of recent scientific literature and also comparing it with ancient indian spiritual texts, as well as western occult and new age, the following things are apparent. the activation of the pineal gland is the key step in our psychic, spiritual and energy transformation processes. here in this gland, energy processing and re-distribution divine nutrition: the madonna frequency& the food of gods with jasmuheen 70 occurs. the pineal gland is the commander of all endocrine glands, therefore controlling the humeral system. it also regulates the circadian rhythm, sleep wake cycle and it a

nd is therefore the navigation center in birds. scientists are looking at the magnetic, navigatory properties of the pineal gland in humans. so pineal activation and charging through solar energy is a vital step that is the doorway to the cosmic energy highway. this may be kundalini shakti activation, in other words. ever since mankind has started ignoring the psychically and spiritually equipped pineal gland it has fallen on the merely physical-material plane and so endless pains have fallen on mankind. mankind must now relearn to activate the pineal and the other psychospiritual bodies either through cosmic energy dynamics or through practice of rajyoga or the tantric ways or other such practices. kundalini shakti is said to be activated through these and happiness and bliss with peace a

bliss with peace are bound to follow. this light energy may be transformed into electrical, magnetic or chemical energies in body. once processed, this energy must be transported and must be stored somewhere. actually the ultimate form of all energy is light. energy and light can be transformed into matter and back again to energy. the hypothalamus is the commander of autonomic nervous system and pineal gland is in proximity to the autonomic nervous system, so it is logical that new energy transportation may either activate this system or it may use this system as a vehicle. the parasympathetic nerves and its hormones and chemicals may be more useful than the sympathetic system. as the sympathetic system increases body needs (e.g. thinking, fighting stress, excitement etc, the parasympathe

imagination, intuition, insight, consciousness, spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and true sight. activation of the sixth chakra is thought to be responsible for all experiences of astral vision and astral traveling, as well as all encounters with the higher self. it is attributed to the "element" of light. 7. sahasrara, the crown chakra located at or above the top of the head, is associated with the pineal gland and the cerebral cortex. traditionally this center is given the various colors of the rainbow. an alternate color is clear.13 the word sahasrara means "thousandpetalled lotus" whch is the symbol of this chakra, alluding to the thousands of brain cells withn the cerebrum. the seventh chakra controls all aspects of mind and body, and it regulates the activities of all the other chakras

and art, is in the far here-after. some people labour under the idea that a generation or two hence the world will be sprawling at the feet of reason instead of those of god. possibly, yet god is still far from being a centenarian, and our heavenly father bids well to rival our earthly parr; but as long as we sprawl, what matters it what we sprawl before, if it be the shin-bone of an ass, or the pineal gland of our wretched imagination? whatever man has touched he has spoilt: one day he was struck with the mystic poetry of the waves, and he promptly hocussed slimy monsters from out the deep; gazing on his lithe and winsome daughter, he held her head under the green flood to satiate the rapacity of the offspring of his deluded imagination, who (he judged) appreciated his dinner, as well as

TYSON DONALD SOUL FLIGHT

e higher intelligence was deliberating pushing the young fox to explore and develop his innate, latent talent for astral projection. if we were to credit the existence of the adepts of theosophy, we might suspect that fox was being guided by a master from a higher spiritual plane to explore his talent, so that later in life he could write about it and share it with the world. lucid dreams and the pineal doorway the main technique developed by fox was that of the lucid dream. fox found that if he became aware during a dream that he was dreaming, then he could move around in it consciously, and step outside it while remaining asleep to travel to other places on the astral level, such as to the rooms of people he knew, or to familiar streets. he passed other people unseen and unheard during t

act of will so that it shot forth through the walls of his house and into the sky. the first method, through the intermediation of a lucid 109. fox, 68. 94 soul flight dream, he called the dream of knowledge method, but the second trance state method he referred to as the instantaneous method. later in the course of his experiments, fox developed a technique of separation that he described as the pineal doorway technique because he associated it with the pineal gland of his brain. while in a trance state, he focused his consciousness inward on the center of his forehead between his brows. this is the place known in eastern lore as the third eye, the location of the ajna chakra. when the technique was successful, he seemed to feel a click in that place in his head, as though a door had clos

e experiments, fox often heard his wife calling to him, pleading for him to come back, telling him that he was in danger. this was an illusion-his wife never really called out to him. he also sometimes felt intense apprehension. it appears that he was being actively discouraged from employing this technique, perhaps by some higher spiritual intelligence. his last successful projection through the pineal doorway took place on april 10,1916. during this excursion, he tried to visit a temple in india in a past century, but for some reason he was unable to achieve his purpose. the projection ended abruptly. always thereafter, when he tried to use the pineal doorway technique, fox saw the vision of a mysterious black egyptian ankh hanging in the air, as though to bar his way. with his eyes shut

air, as though to bar his way. with his eyes shut, the ankh appeared to be painted on the inner surface of his eyelids, and with his eyes open, it seemed to float in front of him. it would not let him pass.'1 it is clear that fox's experiments along this line were stopped for him by some intelligence other than his own. who can say whether it was his unconscious mind that forced him to cease the pineal doorway method for his own safety, or if it was the protective action of some higher spiritual teacher, equivalent to one of the masters of theosophy, who stepped in for his own best interests? perhaps a spirit of power and authority simply decided that his experiments had gone as far as they could be permitted to progress, and placed a block on his mind to prevent them in the future. altho

itual teacher, equivalent to one of the masters of theosophy, who stepped in for his own best interests? perhaps a spirit of power and authority simply decided that his experiments had gone as far as they could be permitted to progress, and placed a block on his mind to prevent them in the future. although he was still able to use the instantaneous method of projection, he could no longer use the pineal doorway method. chapter seven the golden dawn t he hermetic order of the golden dawn was founded in an official way in 1888 with the establishment of the isis-urania temple in london, although members of the order such as the poet william butler yeats (1865-1939) had begun to receive initiation the previous year' the theosophical society of blavatsky and olcott was only thirteen years old

cess known as "jumping into the ether" and felt himself drawn headfirst down through this tunnel of light at an accelerating speed until his astral body struck a kind of membrane and punched through it to the target location. there can be no question that this was a form of astral projection. the penetration of the membrane at the end of the light vortex is equivalent to the snapping shut of the "pineal doorway' described by the theosophist oliver fox, and also calls to mind the golden dawn instruction that members should imagine that they clearly hear the astral portals of the tattwa cards close behind them after passing through. the construction of an astral place for ritual working is an accepted practice in modern western magic, such as that practiced by the golden dawn. the sanctuary

ic. this whole experience occupied only five minutes. when he sat up, he found that he felt sick to his stomach. his head still ached and his forehead continued to feel puffy. this abduction could also be described as a typical experience of astral projection. the only thing missing is the silver cord. the puffy feeling above bender's eyebrows may have a relationship to what oliver fox termed his pineal doorway, which he believed to be located between his eyebrows at what is known in kundalini yoga as the ajna chakra, the chakra of the body most associated with psychic abilities. the coldness of the body can be felt in communications with spiritual beings. the yellow mist is, again, a classic detail. those who project the astral double often report that the air appears to be alive with tin

d when an individual is in danger of experiencing sights and concepts during astral projection that might, in one way or another, prove dangerous to either his health or his sanity. this survival mechanism probably takes many forms. for oliver fox, it was the symbol of the egyptian ankh-the symbol of life-that appeared in front of his inner vision and blocked his path whenever he tried to use his pineal-doonuay mode of astral projection. it also took the form for fox of his wife's voice warning him that he was in danger. i suspect that hearing this kind of warning voice is not uncommon for those who engage in serious experiments in astral projection. there seems to exist within the depths of the mind either an automatic mechanism or an intelligent agent of some kind capable of preventing a

shows itself in the form of lucid dreams and near death experiences. this psychic talent to gain awareness of the astral world is present in all individuals, but usually lies dormant unless triggered by a traumatic event such as an illness or a sudden physical injury. it appears to be related to the ajna chakra of the body, the mystical third eye between the eyebrows that may correspond with the pineal gland. the regular use of certain objects and practices can help to develop this latent talent. the underlying unity between scrying and astral projection is indicated by the way in which these activities overlap. at times, astral travelers are aware of being in their projected bodies yet on other occasions feel themselves present in astral landscapes as a disembodied consciousness. still o
