. these two paths are: 6. the path the logos himself is on. it will have become apparent to all occult students who have studied with care the world processes in the light of the law of correspondences, that the logos on the cosmic planes is evolving inner cosmic vision, just as man in his lesser degree is aiming at the same vision in the system. this might be called the development of the cosmic third eye. in the physical plane structure of the eye lies hid the secret and in its study may come some revelation of the mystery. a certain part of the eye is the nucleus of sight, and the apparatus of vision itself; the remainder of the eye acts as a protecting shell, and both parts are required, and neither can exist without the other. so in this greater case, only the analogy exists on such h

ch sees and knows all, and records all, as does the human eye in lesser degree; all is photographed upon the astral light, as the human eye receives impressions upon the retina. the same thought is frequently conveyed in the christian bible, in the hebrew and christian recognition of the all-seeing eye of god. the application and value of the hints here given may be apparent if the subject of the third eye is studied, and its relation to the spine, and the 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 th

e 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 reptilian. these forms of divine life are very intim

evas as they energise the manipulatory devas, and thus affect the myriads of lesser lives which compose man's body, and also by an increased responsiveness 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 interdependenc

of the creator is upon that which is created, just so long does it persist; let the creator withdraw "the light of his countenance" and the death of the thought form ensues, for vitality or energy follows the line of the eye. when, therefore, a man, in meditation, considers his work and builds his thought form for service, he is occultly looking, and consequently energising; he begins to use the third eye in its secondary aspect. the third or spiritual eye has several functions. amongst others, it is the organ of illumination, the unveiled eye of the soul, through which light and illumination comes into the mind, and thus the entire lower life becomes irradiated. it is also the organ through which pours the directing energy which streams out from the conscious creating adept to the instru

mongst others, it is the organ of illumination, the unveiled eye of the soul, through which light and illumination comes into the mind, and thus the entire lower life becomes irradiated. it is also the organ through which pours the directing energy which streams out from the conscious creating adept to the instruments of service, his thought-forms. the little evolved do not, of course, employ the third eye for the stimulating of their thought forms. the energy used by them in the majority of cases originates in the solar plexus, and works in two directions, either via the organs of generation, or through the physical eyes. in many people these three points the lower organs, the solar plexus, and the physical eyes form a triangle of force, around which the stream of energy flows before goin

out to the objectivised thought form. in the aspirant, and the man who is intellectual, the triangle may be from the solar plexus, to the throat centre and thence to the eyes. later, as the aspirant grows in knowledge and- 577- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust purity of motive, the triangle of energy will have the heart for its lowest point instead of the solar plexus, and the third eye will begin to do its work, though as yet very imperfectly. just as long as the "eye" is directed to the created form, the current of force will be transmitted to it, and the more one-pointed the man may be the more this energy will be centralised and effective. much of the ineffectiveness of people is due to the fact that their interests are not centralised but very diffuse, and no one t

hen his reflection, man, has reached a point in evolution where he can meditate and contemplate, the work is more rapidly accelerated, and transmutation proceeds with rapidity, particularly on the physical plane. in the work of thought-form building, the man, in contemplation, pursues the work of energising and vitalising. it might here be said that the eye is the great directing agency. when the third eye is used, which is the case in contemplation, it is the synthesiser and director of triple energy; hence the powerful work performed by those in whom it is functioning. the third eye only begins to function when the third circle of egoic petals is beginning slowly to unfold. if students will study the effect of the human eye on the physical plane, and then extend the concept to the work o

templation, it is the synthesiser and director of triple energy; hence the powerful work performed by those in whom it is functioning. the third eye only begins to function when the third circle of egoic petals is beginning slowly to unfold. if students will study the effect of the human eye on the physical plane, and then extend the concept to the work of the interior thinker, as he utilises the third eye, they will get an interesting light upon the subject of thought control. the old commentary says "when the eye is blind, the forms created revolve in circles and fulfill not the law. when the eye is open, force streams forth, direction is assured, fulfillment is certain, and the plans proceed under law; the eye which is blue in color, and the eye which sees not red, when open, produce th

ture of the energy which they will then wield or direct. b. five rules for the astral plane. before we take up the consideration of the second set of "rules for magic" i would like to make a few remarks anent the "eye of the magician" to which reference has been earlier made. one of the fundamental rules back of all magical processes is that no man is a magician or worker in white magic until the third eye is opened, or in process of opening, for it is by means of that eye that the thought form is energised, directed and controlled and the lesser builders or forces are swept into any particular line of activity. among the coming discoveries, and among the next revelations of materialistic science will be one which will concern itself with the force-directing faculty of the human eye, alone

ilders or forces are swept into any particular line of activity. among the coming discoveries, and among the next revelations of materialistic science will be one which will concern itself with the force-directing faculty of the human eye, alone or collectively, and this- 596- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust will indicate one of the first stages towards the rediscovery of the third eye, or the "eye of shiva" shiva is, as we know, one of the names for the first great logoic aspect, and under that name is hidden much of esoteric moment. shiva stands for: a. the will aspect, 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 be

ng 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 is this fact that has led writers of occult books in the past pur

ce, 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 is this fact that has led writers of occult books in the past purposely to confound the two, in order to protect the knowledge. the third eye is formed through the activity of three factors: first, through the direct impulse of the ego on its own plane. during the greater part of evolution the ego makes its contact with its reflection, physical plane man, through the centre at the top of the head. when man is more highly evolved, and is nearing or treading the path, the indwelling self takes a more complete grasp of its lower

t. for the greater part 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 he

correspondence, on a tiny scale, of the pairs of opposites, spirit and matter, produces the great organ of consciousness, the "eye of shiva" it is the instrument of wisdom, and in these three centres of energy we have the correspondence of the three aspects within the head of man. 1. major head centre..will aspect..spirit..father in heaven 2. pineal gland love-wisdom aspect..consciousness..son 3. third eye. activity aspect matter..mother the third eye is the director of energy or force, and thus an instrument of the will or spirit; it is responsive only to that will as controlled by the son-aspect, the revealer of the love-wisdom nature of gods and man, and it is therefore the sign of the white magician. third, the reflex action of the pineal gland itself. as these three types of energy, o

resumes its earlier activity. more cannot here be given but enough has been indicated to give the student food for thought. in meditation, by the sounding of the word, the student awakens response in the major head centre, causes reciprocal vibration between it and the physical head centre, and gradually co-ordinates the forces in the head. through the practice of the power of visualisation, the third eye is developed. the forms visualised, and the ideas and abstractions which are, in the process, mentally clothed and vehicled, are pictured a few inches from the third eye. it is the knowledge of this which causes the eastern yogi to speak of "concentration upon the tip of the nose" behind this misleading phrase a great truth is veiled. in proceeding with the "rules for magic" we will take

those who tread the path of attainment to consider and practically realise. 1. the three tiers of petals. 2. the three sheaths. 3. the three major centres. 4. the threefold kundalini fire. 5. the threefold spinal channel. 6. the three head centres, the pineal gland, the pituitary body, the alta major centre.20(285) another factor which must be allowed for in advanced stages of development, is the third eye which is to the occultist and true white magician what the fourth energy centre (the jewel in the lotus) is to the lotus, or to the three tiers of petals. the correspondence is interesting: the jewel in the lotus is the director of energy from the monad, whilst the third eye directs the energy of the ego on the physical plane. the jewel in the lotus is the centre of force which links the

o the lotus, or to the three tiers of petals. the correspondence is interesting: the jewel in the lotus is the director of energy from the monad, whilst the third eye directs the energy of the ego on the physical plane. the jewel in the lotus is the centre of force which links the buddhic and mental planes. when it is to be seen and felt, the man can function consciously on the buddhic plane. the third eye links the awakened physical plane man with the astral or subjective world, and enables him to function consciously there. the jewel, or diamond concealed by the egoic lotus, is the window of the monad or spirit whereby he looks outward into the three worlds. the third eye is the window of the ego or soul functioning on the physical plane whereby he looks inward into the three worlds. the

ubjective world, and enables him to function consciously there. the jewel, or diamond concealed by the egoic lotus, is the window of the monad or spirit whereby he looks outward into the three worlds. the third eye is the window of the ego or soul functioning on the physical plane whereby he looks inward into the three worlds. the jewel in the lotus is situated between manas and buddhi whilst the third eye is found- 672- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust between the right and left eyes. one of the main functions of the master in this cycle (though not in all cycles) is to teach his pupil how to reconcile all these factors, how to synthesise their various modes of motion or expression, and how to co-ordinate them all so that the vibration is uniform. when energy from the

s more frequent and steady, a change takes place in the physical man. he becomes more and more synchronized with the soul. the time element in transmission recedes into the background and the illumination of the field of knowledge by the light of the soul and the illumining of the physical brain, becomes an instantaneous happening. the light in the head increases in a corresponding degree and the third eye develops and functions. on the astral and mental plane a corresponding "eye" develops, and thus the ego or soul can illumine all the three planes in the three worlds as well as the soul realm. 2. lucidity of consciousness. a man becomes lucid and clear sighted. he is conscious of a growing power in himself which will enable him to explain and solve all problems, and not only this, but "l

riple instrument. there is an interesting relation between these three "directions of contemplation" and the awakening 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 o

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 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 equal

e life, and not just to the light within the aspirant himself. as his awareness of this light increases so does the apparatus of vision develop, and the mechanism whereby he can see things in the spiritual light comes into being in the etheric body. this is the eye of shiva, for it is only fully utilized in the magical work when the monadic aspect, the will aspect, is controlling. by means of the third eye the soul accomplishes three activities: 1. it is the eye of vision. by its means, the spiritual man sees behind the forms of all aspects of divine expression. he becomes aware of the light of the world, and contacts the soul within all forms. just as the physical eye registers forms, so does the spiritual eye register the illumination within those forms which "illumination" indicates a s

nd the world of astral phenomena, and the physical parallel exists for the etheric body. it is this third work of the soul that is touched upon here, the destructive work of getting rid of the old forms, of shaking out of the bodies matter of an undesirable nature and of breaking down the barriers and limitations to true soul activity. these three activities of the soul, through the medium of the third eye, are the correspondences to the three aspects, and students would find it of interest to work these out. the seeing of the light within all forms through the agency of the third eye (brought into being through the realization of the light in the head, the spiritual light) is but the correspondence to the physical eye, revealing forms in the light of the physical sun. this corresponds to

s the correspondence to the monad or will aspect; in the last analysis it is the monad that brings about the final abstraction, destroys all forms, withdraws itself from manifestation and ends the cycle of creative work. bringing these concepts down to practical expression in relation to the rule under consideration, it can be noted that all these three activities are dealt with in this rule. the third eye opens as the- 126- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust result of conscious development, right alignment and the inflow of soul life. then its magnetic controlling force makes itself felt, controlling the lives of the lower bodies, driving forth the lower four elementals (of earth, water, fire, air) and forcing the lunar lords to abdicate. the personality, which has hithe

energy of the personality 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. men

for initiation stands before the initiator. a consideration of the three points of revelation already given may show you how deep may be the present mystery where each of these points is concerned. the mystery of the eye and its relation to light (esoterically understood) is very great, and as yet no student, no matter how diligent, knows anything about it. for instance, brother of mine, when the third eye, the inner eye, and the monad are brought into direct alignment with "the eye of god himself" so that what the planetary logos sees can be partially (at least) revealed to the initiate, who can tell what that revelation will bring of results and enlightenment? when the true nature of the will is comprehended and the self-will of the personality (of a very high order, necessarily, the wil

ny are responsive to impression, but fail to recognise or use the energy of which the impression is simply the forerunner; others respond to the energy, but fail to register the plan which it is intended to implement, and the energy then leads to great but fruitless activity. still others are learning to use the centre between the eyebrows, standing as silent and poised recipients controlling the third eye, the directing agent of the received energy. it must be carefully borne in mind that the energy to be used is not the energy which the disciple himself generates or his own life force, but is something different, something which he has received from the hierarchy and of which he is simply the agent or channel. he has therefore to learn to distinguish between the various energies he conta

of this particular point of revelation is on the mental plane; through the alignment of the concrete, lower mind, the son of mind and the abstract mind, a direct channel for vision is created. the medium of revelation at this initiation is the antahkarana, which is rapidly being constructed and can thus prove the connecting link and the esoteric mode of vision. the instrument of reception is the third eye which for a moment is temporarily suspended from its task of directing energy upon the physical plane and then becomes a stationary, receptive organ, turned inward toward the higher light. the head centre is therefore involved, and a secondary alignment takes place between the ajna centre, the head centre and the soul body. all this takes place at a high point during the third initiation

transfiguring glory. this is the objective of the initiation, and the triangle of procedure, location and objective is created, flashes into being, and then at the close of the initiatory process fades out, leaving however a permanent, new, spiritual and instinctual trend towards monadic perception and livingness. you will note, therefore, how this information by pointing out the attitude of the third eye during this initiatory process and its new function in relation to the monad throws fresh light upon the work of the monad. this third eye is now receptive to light from the highest source, is arresting in its outward-going activity and functions like a lens for the reflection of light and for the attaining of the highest possible inner vision for the particular point in evolution reache

ts outward-going activity and functions like a lens for the reflection of light and for the attaining of the highest possible inner vision for the particular point in evolution reached. all- 277- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust this embodies an activity which (except in the case of the highest initiates) remains very mysterious. however, a study of the use of the third eye at the third initiation will bring illumination of the teaching that the monad is to the planetary logos what the third eye (in its initiatory function) is to the disciple of the third degree of initiation. the monad is the source of light, not only to the human family, but it is the receiver of light from the threefold sun; it is the lens through which the light of the solar logos can f

gos can flow to the planetary logos, preserving and holding steady in that light the vision, the purpose, the will and the creative intention of the planetary logos. more along this line i may not convey to you. i can only give veiled suggestions and formulate for you certain phrases or seed thoughts which (if duly considered and reflected upon) will begin to train your perception and develop the third eye, enabling it to reorient itself and change its function when the right time and the correct emergency come. i have told you that these points of revelation are the germ or seed of a certain invocative potency; this is especially true and correct where the teaching anent the third eye is concerned. initiation is not an abstract, mystical process to which the disciple is subjected upon som

tions of the threshold, but all the remaining initiations involve the whole man and "three periodical vehicles" producing a steady fusion of these three, an increasing reaction to the light of the world, and an ability to register in the physical brain (if the initiate is functioning through karma, decision or service in the physical body) that which is undergone; in this registration process the third eye is acutely involved. from the time of the third initiation this third eye is subjected to training and begins to function in the two following ways: 1. it is (in a measure) a correspondence to the concrete mind, with its capacity to interpret environment and experience. 2. it can also act as a lens or a light-gatherer from the inner and higher worlds. you will note, therefore, the fresh

e have gathered, my brothers and sisters, to explore that dark labyrinth that lies, ever beckoning, just beyond the realm of the known, and may only be perceived by the extension of our five known senses and by the utilization of that ever present sixth sense, the all-seeing eye of set [the invocator draws a line with the air dagger from the pentagram of set above the altar to the location of his third eye. the air dagger is then returned to the altar, and the invocator says] may all behold the glory of set-hen [the gong is struck thrice. the invocator continues] prepare now to make use of all thy senses, oh searchers within the realm of darkness, that you may come to recognize and partake of the mighty elements of the universe, for they must be awakened from their quiet slumber within tha

laimed to have learned of lemuria in the book of dzyan, which she said was composed in atlantis and shown to her by survivors of that lost continent. her source may have been sanskrit legends that tell of the former continent of rutas that sank beneath the sea. lemurians, according to blavatsky, were the third of seven root races of humankind. they were hermaphrodites with psychic abilities and a third eye. atlanteans, she stated, were the fourth root race. they evolved from lemurians after much of lemuria sank, and they lived on the edge of the continent in the northern atlantic. atlantis sank around 8,000 b.c.e, according to blavatsky, and its inhabitants fled to central asia. rudolf steiner (1861.1925, who founded anthroposophy, was another proponent of lemuria. other mystics have envis

being "all choked up" or having "a lump in the throat) malfunctions of the thyroid, as well as speech and hearing disorders, are under the dominion of the fifth chakra. the essence of this center is associated with sound, particularly vibration. in yoga the visuddha is a very important center of alchemical transmutation. it is also said to produce a secretion of immortality. 6. ajna, the brow or third eye chakra, is located in the forehead. it is associated with the pituitary gland and the frontal lobes of the brain. the word ajna means "order" or "command" which indicates that activation of ths chakra is indicative of true order and mastery. the traditional color here is translucent blue. an alternative color is whte.12 its symbol is a circle with two wings or petals, which correspond to

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 closed behind him, and at once he was released into the astral world with a much greater degree of clarity of mind and freedom of action than he had enjoyed when traveling through his lucid dreams. presentiments of danger during these experiments

effectively you are able to use it depends on your powers of concentration. there are exercises designed to enhance concentration, but we will not go into them, since they should not be necessary for the average person with a strong determination to succeed in soul flight. a useful trick is to imagine that you project your astral awareness out of your body through your ajna chakra, the so-called third eye that is located approximately between your eyebrows.you can intensify your focus by turning your eyes to look at this spot with your eyelids closed, but you should not turn them so strongly that the strain becomes a distraction and reduces the effectiveness of your practice. a gentle turning inward and upward works best. imagine that you see the sign of projection shining in the darkness

my opinion are aspects of a single mental faculty that also 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

uctured method of projection that can either be used by itself, or incorporated into a ritual. you may wish to experiment with arranging crystals around your body as you lie upon your bed, or with placing them upon your chakra centers. another effective trigger is to get a small, flat crystal that has been polished in a rock tumbler, and to lay it on your forehead between your eyebrows, over your third eye. the weight and coolness of the crystal aid in focusing awareness on the ajna chakra. it would be impossible to demonstrate in any physical way why the mere touch of a crystal should encourage astral perception, but we are not dealing solely with the physical substance of the crystal, but with its astral substance as well-with the way in which the crystal affects not only the physical se
