Esoteric Healing - Chapter VIII - The Laws and Rules Enumerated and
Applied






Upon this
point, the eyes of the personality are focused, and this leads to disease.

We have
here a most interesting hint as to the medium of force direction. The occult significance
of the eye and the nature of its symbolism are little understood. The reference here has
nothing to do in reality with eyes in the physical body. Here the words, "the eyes of
the personality," refer to the focused attention of the personality, emanating from
the mental and astral bodies which are essentially the two eyes of the soul in
incarnation. The use of these two windows or eyes of the soul leads to a concentration of
energy (in this case strictly personality energy) in the etheric vehicle. This energy is
then directed to the area of discomfort, and therefore to the point of friction. This
friction is sustained and increased by the forces which are focused upon it. People have
little idea how much - objectively speaking - they increase the potency of the disease by
the constantly directed thought which they expend upon it and by the attention they pay to
that area wherein the trouble is located. Energies, mental and emotional, are brought to
bear upon the diseased area, and the "eyes of the personality" are a potent
factor in sustaining the disease.
In this sentence you have, moreover, a clear and unequivocal expression of the fact
that mental and emotional conditions lead to disease. The activity of the soul and the
impact of soul energy have to penetrate into the physical body, via the subtler bodies,
and the point of friction (the outcome of resistance) is found first of all in the mental
body, then is repeated even more potently in the astral body, and is reflected into the
physical body; these (and this is [571] the a-b-c of occultism but is sometimes forgotten)
constitute the personality, and the friction is necessarily to be found throughout.
It might be
of interest to you to correlate what I have said in my other writing anent the eyes with
the point made above. As you well know, and as stated in The Secret Doctrine, the
right eye is the "eye of buddhi" and the left eye is the "eye of
manas" - this (when in relation to buddhi) referring to the higher mind and to man as
he finally will appear. In the average human being, and before reaching perfection, the
right eye transmits the energy of the astral body when directed consciously towards an
object of attention, and the left eye directs the energy of the lower mind.
In between these two directing eyes is to be found the ajna center, which is like a
third eye or directing agent for the blended and fused energies of the personality;
related to this third eye as it awakens and comes into functioning activity is what we
call "the eye of the soul"; this is a point within the highest head center. This
eye of the soul can and does transmit energy to the ajna center and is itself the agent
(before the fourth initiation) of the energy of the Spiritual Triad. This esoteric
relationship is only set up when the soul is dominating its instrument, the personality,
and is bringing all the lower activities upon the physical plane under soul direction.
In the perfected man, there is to be found, therefore, the following distributors or
distributing agents of energy:
The eye of the soul - agent of the Spiritual Triad - Will.
The third eye - agent of the soul - Love.
The right eye - distributor of buddhic energy.
The left eye - conveyor of pure manasic energy.
The ajna center - focusing and directing point for all these energies. [572]

In the disciple and the man who is beginning to function as a soul, you will have:
The third eye - distributor of soul energy.
The right eye - agent for astral energy.
The left eye - agent for lower mental energy.
The ajna center - focusing point of these three energies.

In the average man, the situation will be as follows:
The right eye - agent for astral energy.
The left eye - agent for mental energy.
The ajna center - distributing station.

As occult knowledge increases a whole science of energy distribution will be built up
around the eyes and their symbolic function, and their esoteric use will be understood.
The time has not yet arrived for this, though already the power of the human eye when
focused on a person, for instance, is known to attract attention. One hint I can give
you: the optic nerve is a symbol of the antahkarana, and the entire structure of the eye
ball is one of the most beautiful symbols of the threefold deity and the threefold man.
