Esoteric Psychology II - Chapter II -
The Ray of Personality - Problems of Disciples and Mystics





The inference then
is that there are two sets of powers latent in his human equipment - the lower one being
recoverable if he deem it desirable, the other and higher one to be developed. These two
sets of powers are:
The ancient powers and faculties which humanity developed and possessed in past ages
which he drove into the background of his consciousness and below the threshold of his
current awareness in order to develop the mind and thus become himself a conqueror and a
personality.
The higher powers and faculties which are the prerogative of the conscious soul. These
are greater powers to which the Christ referred when He promised His [559] disciples that
some day they would do greater things than He had done.

It should be remembered, however, that all the psychic powers are the powers, faculties
and capacities of the One Soul but that, in time and space, some of them are expressions
of the animal consciousness or the animal soul, some of the human soul, and some of the
divine soul.
