Ancient Wisdom

Building a Cosmos
It is not
possible, at our present stage of evolution, to do more than roughly indicate a
few points in the vast outline of the kosmic scheme
in which our globe plays a part. By " a kosmos " is here meant a system which seems, from out
standpoint, to be complete in itself, arising from a single LOGOS, and
sustained by His Life. Such a system is our solar system, and the physical sun
may be considered to be the lowest manifestation of the LOGOS when acting as
the centre of His kosmos; every form is indeed one of
His concrete manifestations, but the sun is His lowest manifestation as the
life-giving, invigorating, all-pervading, all controlling, regulative,
coordinating, central power.
Says an
occult commentary:
"Surya (the sun), in its visible reflection, exhibits the
first or lowest state of the seventh, the highest state of the Universal
PRESENCE, the pure of the pure, the first manifested Breath of the ever unmanifested SAT (Be-ness). All the central physical or
objective Suns are in their substance the lowest state of the first Principle
of the BREATH, (Secret Doctrine; I, 330, Adyar Ed.),
are in short, the lowest state of the "Physical
Body" of the LOGOS."
All physical
forces and energies are but transmutations of the life poured forth by the sun,
the Lord and Giver of life to his system. Hence in many ancient religions the
sun stood as the symbol of the Supreme God – the symbol, in truth, the least
liable to misconstruction by the ignorant. Mr. Sinnett well says:
"The
solar system is indeed an area of Nature including more than any but the very
highest beings whom our humanity is capable of developing are in position to
investigate. Theoretically we may feel sure – as we look up into the heavens at
night – that the whole solar system itself is but a drop in the ocean of the
kosmos, but that drop is in its turn an ocean from the
point of view of the consciousness of such half-developed beings within it as
ourselves, and we can only hope at present to acquire vague and shadowy
conceptions of its origin and constitution. Shadowy, however, though these may
be, they enable us to assign
the
subordinate planetary series, in which our own evolution is carried on, to its
proper place in the system of which it is a part, or at all events to get a
broad idea of the relative magnitude of the whole system, of our planetary
chain, of the world in which we are at present functioning, and of the
respective periods of evolution in which as human beings we are interested.
"
For in truth
we cannot grasp our own position intellectually without some idea – however
vague it may be – of our relation to the whole; and while some student are
content to work within their own sphere of duty and to leave the wider reaches
of life until they are called to function in them, others feel the need
of a
far-reaching scheme in which they have their place, and take an intellectual
delight in soaring upwards to obtain a bird’s-eye view of the whole field of
evolution. This need has been recognised and met by
the spiritual Guardians of humanity in the magnificent delineation of the kosmos from the standpoint of the occultist traced by their
pupil and messenger, H.P.Blavatsky,
in The Secret
Doctrine, a work that will become ever more and more enlightening as students
of the Ancient Wisdom themselves explore and master the lower levels of our
evolving world.
The
appearance of the LOGOS, we are told, is the herald of the birth-hour of our kosmos.
"When He
is manifest, all is manifested after Him; by His manifestation this All becomes
manifest." (Mundakopanishad, II, ii, 10).
With Himself He brings the fruits of a past kosmos
– the mighty spiritual Intelligences who are to be His co-workers and agents in
the universe now to be built. Highest of these are "the Seven," often
Themselves spoken of as Logoi, since each in His place
is the centre of a distinct department in the kosmos,
as the LOGOS is the centre of the whole. The commentary before quoted says:
The seven
Beings in the Sun are the Seven Holy Ones, Self-born from the inherent power in
the matrix of Mother-substance …The energy from which they sprang into
conscious existence in every Sun is what some people call Vishnu, which is the
Breath of the Absoluteness. We call it the one manifested Life – itself a
reflection of the Absolute. (Secret Doctrine, I , 331,
Adyar ed.)
This
"one manifested Life" is the LOGOS, the manifested God. From this
primary division our kosmos takes its sevenfold
character, and all subsequent divisions in their descending order reproduce
this seven-keyed scale. Under each of the seven secondary Logoi come the
descending hierarchies of Intelligences that form the governing body of His kingdom .
Among These
we hear of the Lipika, who are the Recorders of the
karma of that kingdom and of all entities therein; of the Maharajas or Devarajas, who superintend the working out of karmic law;
and of the vast hosts of the Builders, who shape and fashion all forms after
the Ideas that dwell in the treasure-house of the LOGOS, in the Universal Mind,
and that pass from Him to the Seven, each of whom plans out His own realm under
that supreme direction and all-inspiring life, giving to it, at the same time,
His own individual colouring. H. P. Blavatsky calls
these Seven Realms that make up the solar systems the seven Laya centres; she
says:
The seven
Laya centres are the seven Zero points, using the term Zero in the same sense
that chemists do, to indicate a point at which, in Esotericism, the scale of
reckoning of differentiation begins. From the Centres – beyond which Esoteric
philosophy allows us to perceive the dim metaphysical outlines of the
"Seven
Sons" of Life and Light, the seven Logoi of the Hermetic and all other
philosophies – begins the differentiation of the elements which enter into the
constitution of our Solar System.(Secret Doctrine, I ,
195, Adyar Ed.)
This realm is
a planetary evolution of a stupendous character, the field in which are lived out the stages of life of which a physical planet,
such as Venus, is but a transcient embodiment. We may
speak of the Evolver and Ruler of this realm as a planetary Logos, so as to
avoid confusion. He draws from the
matter of the solar system, outpoured from the central
LOGOS Himself, the crude materials He requires, and elaborates them by His own
life-energies, each planetary Logos thus specialising
the matter of His realm from a common stock. (See in chapter I, on "The
Physical Plane" the statement on the evolution of matter.)
The atomic
state in each of the seven planes of His kingdom being identical with the
matter of a sub-plane of the whole solar system, continuity is thus established
throughout the whole. As H. P. Blavatsky remarks, atoms change "their
combining equivalents on every planet," the atoms themselves being
identical, but their combinations differing. She goes on:
-
"Not
alone the elements of our planet, but even those of all its sisters in the
solar system, differ as widely from each other in their combinations, as from
the cosmic elements beyond our solar limits…Each atom has seven planes of
being, or existence, we are taught. (Secret Doctrine, Volume1, pages 166
and174, of the 1893 edition or Volume 1, 199, , of the
Adyar edition.)
The
sub-planes, as we have been calling them, of each great plane. On the three
lower planes of His evolving realm the planetary Logos establishes seven globes
or worlds, which for convenience’ sake, following the received nomenclature, we
will call globes A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
These are the
Seven small wheels revolving, one giving birth to the other spoken of in Stanza
vi, of the Book of Dzyan: He builds them in the likeness of the older wheels,
placing them on the imperishable centres. (Secret Doctrine, Volume 1, , of the 1893 edition or Volume 1, , of the Adyar
edition.) Imperishable, since each wheel not only gives birth to its successor,
but is
also itself reincarnated at the same centre, as we
shall see.
These globes
may be figured as disposed in three pairs on the arc of an ellipse, with the
middle globe at the mid-most and lowest point; for the most part globes A and G
– the first and seventh – are on the Arupa levels of
the mental plane; globes B and F – the second and sixth – are on the rûpa levels; globes C and E – the third and fifth – are on
the astral plane; globe D – the fourth – is on the physical plane. These globes
are spoken of by H. P. Blavatsky as "graduated on the four lower planes of
the world of formation,"( Secret Doctrine, Volume
1, , of the1893 edition or Volume 1, , of the Adyar edition- the note is
important,
that the archetypal world is not the world as it
existed in the mind of the planetary Logos, but the first model which was
made.) i.e., the physical and astral planes, and the
two
subdivisions of the mental (rûpa
and arûpa). They may be figured: - as
This is the
typical arrangement, but it is modified at certain stages of evolution. These
seven globes form a planetary ring or chain, and – if for a moment we regard
the planetary chain as a whole, as, so to say, an entity, a planetary life or
individual – that chain passes through the seven globes as a whole form its
planetary body, and this planetary body disintegrates and is
reformed seven times during the planetary life. The
planetary chain has seven incarnations, and the results obtained in one are
handed on to the next.
Every such
chain of worlds is the progeny and creation of another lower and dead chain –
its reincarnation, so to say. (Secret Doctrine, Volume 1, ,
of the 1893 Edition or Volume 1, , of the Adyar Edition.)
These seven
incarnations (technically called "manvantaras")
make up "the planetary evolution," the realm of the planetary Logos.
As there are seven planetary Logoi, it will be seen that seven of these
planetary evolutions, each distinct from the others, make up the solar system.
(Mr. Sinnett calls these
"seven schemes of evolution"). In an occult commentary
this coming forth of the seven Logoi from the one, and of the seven successive
chains of seven globes each, is described:
From one
light seven lights; from each of the seven, seven times seven. ( Secret Doctrine, Volume1, , of the 1893 Edition or Volume
1, , of the Adyar edition.) Taking up the incarnations of the chain, the manvantaras, we learn that these also are sub-divisible into
seven stages; a wave of life from the planetary
Logos is sent
round the chain, and seven of these great life-waves, each one technically
spoken of as "a round," complete a single manvantara. Each globe has thus seven periods of activity
during a manvantara, each in turn becoming the field
of the evolving life.
Looking at a
single globe we find that during the period of its activity seven root-races of
a humanity evolve on it, together with six other
non-human kingdoms interdependent on each other. As these seven kingdoms
contain forms at all stages of evolution, as all have higher reaches stretching
before them, the
evolving
forms of one globe pass to another to carry on their growth when the period of
activity of the former globe comes to an end, and go on - from globe to globe
to the end of that round; they further pursue their course round after round to
the close of the seven rounds or manvantara after manvantara till the
end of reincarnations of their planetary chain is
reached, when the results of that planetary evolution are gathered up by the
planetary Logos. Needless to say that scarcely anything of this evolution is
known to us; only the salient points in the stupendous whole have been
indicated by the Teachers.
Even when we
come to the planetary evolution in which our own world is a stage, we know
nothing of the processes through which its seven globes evolved during its
first two manvantaras; and of its third manvantara we only know that the globe which is now our
moon was globe D of that planetary chain. This fact,
however, may help us to realise
more clearly what is meant by these successive reincarnations of a planetary
chain. The seven globes which formed the lunar chain passed in due course
through their sevenfold evolution; seven times the life-wave, the Breath of the
planetary Logos, swept round the chain, quickening in turn each globe into
life.
It is as
though that Logos in guiding His kingdom turned His attention first to globe A,
and thereon brought into successive existence the innumerable forms that in
their totality make up a world; when evolution had been carried to a certain
point, He turned His attention to globe B, and globe A slowly sank into
a peaceful sleep. Thus the life wave was carried
from globe to globe, until one round of the circle was completed by globe G
finishing its evolution; then there succeeded a period of rest, (technically
called a pralaya), during which the external
evolutionary activity ceased.
At the close
of this period, external evolution recommenced, starting on its second round
and beginning as before on globe A. The process is repeated six times, but when
the seventh, the last round, is reached, there is a change.
Globe A, having
accomplished its seventh life-period, gradually disintegrates, and the
imperishable laya centre state supervenes; from that, at the dawn of the
succeeding manvantara a new globe A is evolved – like
a new body – in which the "principles" of the preceding planet A take
up their abode. This phrase is only intended to convey the idea of a relation
between globe A of the first manvantara and globe A
of the second, the nature of that connection remains hidden.
Of the
connection between globe D of the lunar manvantara –
our moon – and globe D of the terrene manvantara –
our earth – we know little more, and Mr. Sinnett has given a convenient summary
of the slender knowledge we possess in The system to which we belong. He says:-
The new earth
nebula was developed round a centre bearing pretty much the same relation to
the dying planet that the centres of the earth and moon bear to one another at
present. But in the nebulous condition this aggregation of matter
occupied an enormously greater volume than the solid
matter of the earth now
occupies.
It stretched
out in all directions so as to include the old planet in its fiery embrace. The
temperature of the new nebula appears to be considerable higher than any
temperatures we are acquainted with, and by this means the old planet was
superficially heated afresh in such a manner that all atmosphere, water, and
volatilisable matter upon it was brought into the gaseous
condition and so became amenable to the new centre of attraction set up at the
centre of the new nebula.
In this way
the air and seas of the old planet were drawn over into the constitution of the
new one, and thus it is that the moon in its present state is an arid, glaring
mass, dry and cloudless, no longer habitable, and no longer required for the
habitation of any physical beings. When the present manvantara
is nearly over, during the seventh round, its
disintegration will be completed and the matter which it still holds together
will resolve into meteoric dust.(Op .cit., )
In the third
volume of The Secret Doctrine, in which are printed some of the oral teachings
given by H.P.Blavatsky to her more advanced pupils,
it is stated:
At the
beginning of the evolution of our globe, the moon was much nearer to the earth,
and larger than it is now. It has retreated from us, and shrunk much in size.(The moon gave all her principles to the earth.) A new moon
will appear during the seventh round, and our moon will finally disintegrate
and disappear. (Op. Cit. III, 562, 1893 Ed.)
Evolution
during the lunar manvantara produced seven classes of
beings, technically called Fathers, or Pitris, since it was they who generated
the beings of the terrene manvantara. These are the
Lunar Pitris of the Secret Doctrine. More developed than these were two other classes
– variously called Solar Pitris, Men,
evolution in its early stages, but requiring the aid of
later physical conditions for their future growth.
The higher of
these two classes consisted of individualised
animal-like beings, creatures with embryonic souls, i.e., they had developed
the causal body; the second were approaching its formation. Lunar Pitris, the
first class, were at the beginning of that approach showing mentality, while
the second and third had only developed the kamic
principle.
These seven
classes of Lunar Pitris were the product the lunar chain handed on for further
development to the terrene, the fourth reincarnation of the planetary chain. As
Monads – with the mental principle present in the first, the kamic principle developed in the second and third classes,
this germinal in the
fourth, only approaching the germ stage in the still
less developed fifth, and imperceptible in the sixth and seventh – these
entities entered the earth-chain, to ensoul the
elemental essence and the forms shaped by the Builders. ( H.P.Blavatsky, in the Secret Doctrine, does not
include those whom Mr. Sinnett
calls first – and second-class Pitris in the
"monads from the lunar chain": she takes them apart as
"men," as "Dhyan Chohans." Compare Volume 1, pages 197, 207
and 211 of the 1893 edition; Volume 1, pages 227, 236 and 239 of the Adyar
edition)
The
nomenclature adopted by me is that of the Secret Doctrine. In the valuable
paper by Mrs. Sinnett and Mr. Scott-Elliot on the Lunar Pitris, H.P.B.’s "Lower Dhyanis," that incarnate in the
third and fourth rounds, are taken as the first and second classes of Lunar
Pitris; their third class is therefore H.P.B.’s first
class, their fourth class her second and so on. There is no difference in
the statement of facts, only in nomenclature, but
this difference of nomenclature may mislead the student if it be not explained.
As I am using H.P.B’s nomenclature, my fellow-students
of the
The
"Builders" is a name including innumerable Intelligences, hierarchies
of beings of graduated consciousness and power, who on each plane carry out the
actual building of forms. The higher direct and control, while the lower
fashion the materials after the models provided. And now appears the use of the
successive globes of the planetary chain.
Globe A is the
archetypal world, on which are built the models of the forms that are to be
elaborated during the round; from the mind of the planetary Logos the highest
Builders take the archetypal Ideas, and guide the Builders on the arupa
levels as they fashion the archetypal forms for the
round.
On globe B
these forms are reproduced in varied shapes in mental matter by a lower rank of
Builders, and are evolved slowly along different lines, until they are ready to
receive an infiltration of denser matter; then the Builders in astral matter
take up the task, and on globe C fashion astral forms, with
details more
worked out; when the forms have been evolved as far as the astral conditions
permit, the Builders of globe D take up the task of form-shaping on the physical
plane, and the lowest kinds of matter are thus fashioned into appropriate
types, and the forms reach their densest and most complete condition.
From this
middle point onwards the nature of the evolution some what changes; hitherto
the greatest attention had been directed to the building of the form; on the
ascending arc the chief attention is directed to using the form as a vehicle of
the evolving life and on the second half of the evolution on globe D,
and on globes E and F the consciousness expresses
itself first on the physical and then on the astral and lower mental planes
through the equivalents of the forms elaborated on the descending arc.
On the
descending arc the monad impresses itself as best it may on the evolving forms,
and these impressions, and so on; on the ascending arc the Monad expresses
itself through the forms as their inner ruler. On globe G the perfection of the
round is reached, the Monad inhabiting and using as its vehicles the archetypal
forms of globe A.
During all
these stages the Lunar Pitris have acted as the souls of the forms, brooding
over them, later inhabiting them. It is on the first-class Pitris that the
heaviest burden of the work falls during the first three rounds. The second and
third-class Pitris flow into the forms worked up by the first; the first
prepare these forms by ensouling them for a time and
then pass on, leaving them for the tenancy of the second and third classes. By
the end of the first round the archetypal forms of the mineral would have been
brought down, to be elaborated through the succeeding rounds, till they reach
their densest state in the middle of the fourth round. "Fire" is the
"element" of this first round.
In the second
round the first-class Pitris continue their human evolution, only touching the
lower stages as the human foetus still touches them
today, while the second-class, at the close of the round, have reached the
incipient human stage. The great work of the round is bringing down the
archetypal forms of
vegetable life, which will reach their perfection in the
fifth round. "Air" is the second round "element".
In the third
round the first-class Pitris becomes definitely human in form; though the body
is jelly-like and gigantic, it is yet, on globe D, compact enough to begin to stand
upright; he is ape-like and is covered with hairy bristles. The third-class
Pitris reach the incipient human stage. Second class solar Pitris make their
first appearance on globe D in this round, and take the
lead in human evolution. The archetypal forms of
animals are brought down to be elaborated into perfection by the end of the
sixth round, and "water" is the
characteristic "element."
The fourth
round, the middle one of the seven that make up the terrene manvantara,
is distinguished by bringing to globe A the archetypal forms of humanity, this
round being as distinctively human as its predecessors were respectively
animal, vegetable, and mineral. Not ill the seventh round will these forms be
fully realised by humanity, but the possibilities of the
human
form are manifested in the archetypes in the fourth.
"Earth" is the "element" of this round, the densest, the
most material. The first-class solar Pitris may be said to hover round globe D
more or less in this round during its early stages of activity, but they do not
definitely incarnate until after the third great out-pouring of life from the
planetary Logos in the middle of the third race,
and then only slowly, the number increasing as the
race progresses, and multitudes incarnating in the early fourth race.
The evolution
of humanity on our earth, globe D, offers in a strongly marked form the
continual sevenfold diversity already often alluded to. Seven races of men had
already shown themselves in the third round, and in
the fourth these
fundamental divisions became very clear on globe C, where
seven races, each with sub-races evolved. On globe D humanity begins with a
First Race – usually called a Root Race – at seven different points,
"seven of them, each on his lot." (Book of Dzyan
(Stanzas of Dzyan,
These seven
types side by side, not successive – make up the first root-race, and each
again has its own seven sub-races. From the first root-race – jelly-like
amorphous creatures – evolves the second root-race with forms of more definite
consistency, and from it the third, ape-like creatures that become clumsy
gigantic men. In the middle of the evolution of this third root-race,
called the
Lemurian, there come to earth – from another planetary chain, that of Venus,
much farther advanced in its evolution – members of its highly evolved
humanity, glorious Beings, often spoken of as Sons of Fire, from Their radiant
appearance, a lofty order among the Sons of Mind. (Manasaputra. This vast hierarchy
of self-conscious intelligences embraces many orders.)
They take up Their abode on earth, as the Divine Teachers of the young
humanity, some of them acting as channels for the third outpouring and projecting
into animal man the spark of monadic life which forms the causal body. Thus the
first, second, and third classes of Lunar Pitris become individualised
– the vast bulk of humanity. The two classes of solar Pitris, already individualised – the first ere leaving the lunar chain and
the second later – form two low orders of the Sons of Mind; the second
incarnate in the third race at its middle point, and the first come in later,
for the most part in the fourth race, the Atlantean.
The fifth, or Aryan race, now leading human evolution, was
evolved from the fifth sub-race of the Atlantean, the most promising families
being in
fourth-race and third-race nations who then inhabited it.
At the end of
the seventh race of the seventh round, i.e., at the close of our terrene manvantara, our chain will hand on to its successor the
fruits of its life; these fruits will be the perfected divine men, Buddhas,
Manus, Chohans, Masters, ready to take up work of guiding evolution under the
direction of the planetary Logos, with hosts of less evolved entities of every
grade of
consciousness, who still need physical experience for the
perfecting of their divine possibilities.
The fifth,
sixth, and seventh manvantaras of our chain are still
in the womb of the future after this fourth one has closed, and then the
planetary Logos will gather up into Himself all the fruits of evolution, and
with his children enter on a period of rest and bliss. Of that high state we
cannot speak; how at this
stage of our
evolution could we dream of its unimaginable glory; only we dimly know that our
glad spirits shall "enter into the joy of the Lord," and, resting in
Him, shall see stretching before them boundless ranges of sublime life and
love, heights and depths of power and joy, limitless as the One Existence,
inexhaustable as the One that Is.
PEACE TO ALL
BEINGS

The Wolseley Hornet was a lightweight
saloon car produced by the Wolseley Motor Company from 1930 to 1935.
It had a six cylinder (1271cc) engine with a single overhead cam, and
hydraulic brakes. The engine was modified in 1932 to make it shorter and it was
moved forwards on the chassis. In 1935 the engine size was increased to
1378 cc.
Wolseley supplied the firsts cars as either an enclosed saloon with steel
or fabric body or open two seater. From 1931 it was available without the
saloon body, and was used as the basis for a number of sporting specials for
which the customer could choose a styling from a range of coachbuilders. In
1932 Wolsley added two and four seat coupés to the range. For its final year of
production the range was rationalised to a standard saloon and coupé.
A three speed gearbox was fitted to the earliest cars but this was upgraded
to a four speed in 1932 and fitted with synchromesh from 1933. A freewheel
mechanism could be ordered in 1934.The engine was also used in a range of MG
cars.
