Triune Law Governs Universe and Man

Pages : 26
Book Description
The three hypostases of Universal Law are: 1. Karma-action makes the world go ’round. 2. Yajna-compassion / sacrifice is the very first conscious yearning. 3. Yugas-cycles are subservient to Karma. Motion is Nous and vice versa. From Chaos Nous was born to bring order. Madame Blavatsky quoting Plato on the motion that is able to move itself. Cicero quoting Plato on That which is always moved, being eternal. Taylor commenting on Plato’s rational soul that imparts well-being to itself, when it cultivates and perfects itself. Motion is unmanifested and manifested. Motion unmanifested is Parabrahman, Eternal Universal Motion. It is the Eternal Breath “which knows itself not,” Absolute Motion. When Motion is about to be manifested (First to Second Logos), the Eternal Breath thrills through the first manifested Atom (Monad), or “Æthereal Vibrations diffused throughout Space,” which is the Central Point (Unmanifested Logos) in the circle. Motion manifested (Third Logos) is the Ideal World. It is one everlasting perpetual motion of vortical vibrations. Motion becomes apparent in the Material World — ceaseless eternal vibration: rapid in the inorganic, slow in the organic. Deity is Law and vice versa. Matter is Nature and vice versa, She is the vessel or soul of spirit. Generation is not a “Creation” of Life, but a production of things to Sense, and making them manifest. Neither is Change Death, but an Occultation or hiding of that which was. Nature is uncontrolled by proud masters. She runs the universe by herself without the aid of gods. But Earth is our mother and kind nurse. Cyclic Law makes empires rise and fall, ever alternating periods of fat and slender cows, for all. Consciousness evolves spirally in curves that never re-enter into themselves. At certain periods, a preview of Its consummation may be glimpsed.

The Law of Karma is Unknown and Unknowable

Pages : 13
Book Description
The Unknowable is neither a “force behind phenomena,” nor some kind of energy storehouse. It is essentially the same as our Consciousness, persisting unchanging in quantity, but ever changing in form. It has no kinship of nature with Evolution. Only the First Cause and its direct emanations, our spirits (scintillas from the eternal central sun which will be reabsorbed by it at the end of time), are incorruptible and eternal. All else is illusion, corruptible and ephemeral — the heresy and legacy of separateness. Divine thought cannot be defined, or its meaning explained, except by the numberless manifestations of Cosmic Substance in which the former is sensed spiritually by those who [if intellectually and ethically fit] can do so. Out of an Unknowable and Ever-Concealed Centre, Consciousness keeps unfolding, and infusing through the totality of artefacts: the mental agitates the molecular and mixes itself with the magnificent corporeal. Spirit and Matter are emanations of the One Reality, That Perfect Unmanifested Consciousness, or Non-Being. It is and It will remain forever unknown and unknowable. Personal consciousness is a differentiation in space and time of a ray of Universal Consciousness. On the subjective side is the One Life. On the objective, myriads of lives “immanent in every atom of Matter.” Matter is ever becoming, according to ideal forms. The Kabbalists never cease to repeat that primal intelligence can never be understood. It cannot be comprehended, nor can it be located, therefore it has to remain nameless and negative. When Logos reposes in the bosom of Parabrahman, It cannot see Parabrahman other than as Mulaprakriti, that “mighty expanse of cosmic matter” which veils Parabrahman from even the highest Logoic perceptions. Parabrahman is ever unknown to Logos, as It is to ourselves. Over and around, higher and lower, within and without, Unknown Intelligence sustains the Great Architect of the Universe, the Creative Deities, and all creatures. It is the “Spirit” of “God” that keeps moving upon the face of the waters of “Creation.” The “Eternal Breath” cannot know Itself by Itself because it is devoid of self-consciousness. Neither can the Infinite know the Finite, for that matter. It can only know aspects of Itself through Its acting powers. Nor Scripture lays down a set of definitions any more than Nature does. Karma is one with the Unknowable, an Absolute and Eternal Law in the World of manifestation. Karma is the Unknown Deity of the old Athenians, the One Law for All, and vice versa. The highest Deity is subject to this Law, or rather it is the Law of the Deity.

Kosmos is eternal noetic motion unmanifested, the Great Breath of the One Element

Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
Universal or Kosmic Mind (Atman) is eternal, perpetual motion. It needs no physico-chemical, or mechanical brain as an organ of transmission. Yet, physical science sees in motion simply a blind, unreasoning force or law; Occult Science, tracing motion to its origin, identifies it with the Universal Deity, and calls this eternal ceaseless motion or the “Great Breath.”

Book Description
Karma, Tanha, and Skandhas are the almighty trinity. Desire, being the agent empowered by Karma, is fulfilled through thoughts, words, and deeds. Karma allots kinetic energy, corrects mental transgressions, and binds free will. Man and angel are alike under Karmic Law. No one and nothing can hide from the All-seeing Law. Therefore, belief in Karma instils personal responsibility.
