SOUL RELATIONS

Relation to the body

The soul lies back of the outer form, and creates it, maintains it, and uses it. The soul is “anchored” by one aspect of the Sutratma to a “seat” in the brain, found in the region of the pineal gland. The soul, as the life principle, is “anchored” in the heart.  From these two points the soul controls its mechanism. As consciousness, it controls via the brain, the nerves and the centres. As life, it controls via the bloodstream and the heart. To achieve victory over the emotions, the Soul must govern from above through the brain.

Relation to other souls

Having reached the soul in any form and contacted it through the medium of his own soul, he finds that all souls are one and can put himself with ease in the soul of an atom or of a humming bird, or he can expand his realisation in another direction and know himself one with God and with all superhuman existences.

 The relation of the soul to other souls and the word of souls is that of at oneness. Service to humanity is part of the agenda of the Soul, and as it takes control of the physical body, that service turn into service for the Hierarchy.  Thus our Souls are playing rolls in the processes of evolution that we have to do physically. One for all and all for one, we are one.

The soul hides within itself, as the “jewel in the lotus”, that faculty of dynamic energy which is the manifested attribute of the monad, the will. When the soul has unfolded all its powers and has to include within its consciousness all that is connoted by the “myriad forms that Being takes”, then in turn a higher and more inclusive state becomes possible and soul life is superseded by monadic life. This involves an ability to know, to love, and to participate in the plans of a life which has  the power to include within its radius of consciousness not only the sum total of the lives and consciousness of the life of the Logos of our planet, but all the lives and consciousness within our solar system. The nature of this awareness is only possible of comprehension by the man who has arrived at soul-knowledge.

Relation to the Master

 Only after the third initiation, is the initiate of any service to the Hierarchy and the Masters. The initiate is in a position at all times to recognise the other members of the Great White Lodge, and his faculties are stimulated by the vivification of the head centres and the development of intuition. When this has been done, when the physical body is pure, the astral stable and steady, and the mental body controlled, then the initiate can safely wield and wisely use the psychic faculties for the helping of the race.  He is now able to create and vivify thoughtforms that are clear and well-defined, pulsating with the spirit of service and not controlled by lower mind or desire. 

The soul might now be regarded as gazing in three directions:

1.            Towards the Live Supernal, the central life or energy, the spirit aspect, or the monad.

2.            Out and over the kingdom of souls, in which it dwells.

3.            Towards man, its reflection in the three worlds.

The Masters carry on Their work in the state of consciousness which we call intuitional and one of the major objectives of the work of the Masters at this time is:

1.            The development of the intuition of all disciples.

2.            The awakening of the discriminative faculty.

3.            The development of the disciple’s ability to sense the higher vision.

4.            The enabling of the disciple to arrive at a higher spiritual consciousness.
