Esoteric Psychology II - Chapter II - The Ray of Personality - The
Coordination of the Personality





If we study this triplicity with care, we shall see that the
process outlined brings the higher aspect of the personal self, the mind, to the lowest
point of contact and into control of the physical body; we shall see that it brings the
soul into conscious control of the astral, desire-sentient body, and that it also brings
the will aspect (the highest aspect of divinity) into control of mind.There are,
therefore, two thoughts which we will have in our minds as we study this Technique of
Fusion. First, that it is a threefold technique and is colored by and conditioned by the
qualities of the first, second and third major rays. Secondly, that this technique of
whichever of these three natures it may be, will be of such a kind that it will produce
illumination through the evocation of the will. It is right here that esotericists will
recognize the importance of the teaching in connection with the center at the base of the
spine. It is awakened by an act of the will, which really means by the mind, functioning
forcefully, under the influence of the spiritual man, through the medium of the brain.
It infers also that this technique will so stimulate the faculty of the imagination
that an ever expanding or an all inclusive love will increasingly be expressed, and
therefore that the heart center will be forcefully affected and awakened into full
activity. It infers also that the spiritual plane life of the disciple, as it expresses
itself in his environment will become inspired and creative through the full and conscious
use of the intelligence. This, in its turn, brings about the rounded out activity of the
throat center, and thus the [385] three major centers, which are aroused into activity
upon the Path of Discipleship, are brought to full and measured and controlled activity.
Upon the Path of Initiation, the awakening and full-conditioned functioning of the two
head centers is completed. This is the result of the use of the Technique of Duality by
the initiate. One head center, the thousand-petalled lotus, represents the spirit or life
aspect; the other, the ajna center, represents matter or the form aspect. Thus the work
carried forward upon the paths of evolution, of probation, and of discipleship is
completed upon the path of initiation, and thus, when the rays are understood, you have
the possibility of a new system of awakening the centers, or chakras. But this system
concerns only the awakening of the central part of the center or lotus of force. The
teaching given in the oriental and theosophical books refers primarily to the awakening
and right relation of the centers when the aspirant is upon the probationary path. The
teaching which I have here given has not before been so explicitly made public and has
hitherto only been communicated orally. One half of the center, the outer half (therefore
one half of the lotus petals) is brought into increased activity upon the probationary
path; the other half begins its intensified vibratory activity upon the path of
discipleship, but the intensification of the center of the lotus (though the One Life
controls both soul and body) only takes place when the two later techniques of fusion and
of duality are carried successfully forward.
Certain
questions therefore arise:
What are the techniques, producing fusion upon the three major rays.
How do these techniques bring about
Illumination of the mind. [386]
Imaginative capacity of the sentient body.
An inspired life.



Another point should here be made; Disciples upon the minor rays likewise employ one or
other of these three major techniques. Fourth ray disciples employ the second ray
technique, as do sixth ray disciples; disciples upon the fifth ray employ the first ray
technique. It is interesting to note that (prior to the first initiation) the
personalities of all aspirants to this great expansion of consciousness will be found upon
the third ray, which is - like the solar plexus center - a great clearing house for
energies, and a great transmuting station, if I may use this term.
