BALANCING OF THE OPPOSITES

Each moment of every day I stand at the midway point and each moment must I choose between the Left Hand and the Right Hand path – it never ends. It is so easy to lose concentration and to stumble and fall that we cannot let our guard down for a moment. The path between the two opposites is very difficult to sustain and we have this constant movement from one to the other. As the initiate Paul have said “I die daily.” Every time we fall to the left hand path we die, and when we get back on tract we get born again.

Patanjali said: “When thoughts which are contrary to yoga are present there should be the cultivation of their opposite.”

The science of the balancing of the opposites can be tabulated as follows:

1)      As a man thinketh so is he. That which works out into physical objectivity is always a thought, and according to that thought or idea so will be the form and life-purpose.

2)      Thoughts are of two kinds; those tending to form-building, to limitation, to physical plane expression; those tending away from the lower three planes and therefore from the form aspect as we know it in the three worlds, and leading to union [yoga or at-one-ment] with the soul, the Christ aspect.

3)      When it is found that the thoughts habitually cultivated are productive of astral and physical reactions and results it must be realised that they are inimical to yoga; they hinder the at-one-ing process.

4)      Contrary thoughts to these must then be cultivated; these can be easily ascertained for they will be the direct opposite of the inhibiting thoughts.

5)      The cultivation of the thoughts which will tend to yoga and lead a man to a knowledge of his real self and consequent union with that self, involves a triple process.

a)      The new thought concept, definitely formulated and found to be contrary to the old thought  current, must be ascertained and considered.

b)      The use of the imagination comes next in order to bring the thought into manifestation. This brings in the realm of desire and consequently the astral or emotional body is affected.

c)       Then follows definite visualization of the effect of that which has been thought and imagined, as it will manifest in the physical plane life.

 This will be found to generate energy. This means consequently that the etheric body becomes vitalized or energized by the new thought current and certain transformations and re-organizations take place which eventually cause a complete change in the activities of the physical plane man. The constant cultivation of this effects an entire transformation in the threefold lower man.
