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





b. The Techniques of Fusion and DualityWe
come now to the consideration of a very practical matter where the world disciples are
concerned, and one with which I intend to deal very simply. The point which we are to
study is the Technique of Fusion, leading, as it inevitably does, to the emergence (into
controlling prominence) of the Ray of the Personality. After a brief study of this we will
refer briefly to the Technique of Duality. The brevity is necessary because only disciples
of some experience and initiates will really comprehend the things whereof I speak. A
study of the Technique of Duality would serve to elucidate the relationship which should
exist between the two rays of manifesting energy, which constitute that phenomenal being
we call man. Therefore, it will be apparent to you from the start, how necessary it will
be to deal with these abstruse subjects in the simplest way. Our study of the Techniques
of Integration was definitely abstruse and couched in language quite symbolic. We were
there dealing with the relationship of five rays: Those of the personality, of the ego or
soul, and of the rays of the three personality vehicles, prior to their integration into a
functioning whole.
It might be of value here if I pointed out to you that the three words: Integration,
Fusion and Duality when dealt [379] with, as they are, in connection with the final stages
of the Path of Evolution, are significantly different. For one thing it might be said that
The
Technique of Integration, a sevenfold technique, is applied upon the Path of Probation.
The
Technique of Fusion is applied upon the Path of Discipleship.
The
Technique of Duality is applied upon the Path of Initiation.

I am here
using these three terms only in relation to what we call the Aryan Race, or to what might
be more adequately called the Aryan consciousness, for that consciousness demonstrates in
a two-fold manner as mental power and personality force. It is found at a certain stage in
every human being and in every race; it must therefore be remembered that I am not using
the word Aryan as synonymous with Nordic but as descriptive of the intellectual goal of
humanity, of which our Occidental civilization is in the early stages, but which men of
all time and all races have individually demonstrated. The Aryan state of consciousness is
one into which all men eventually pass.
Integration
here refers to the bringing into one field of resultant magnetic activity of five
differing types of energy:
Physical and
emotional sentient energy (2 energies therefore) are brought together and eventually form
one expressive force.
Physical,
emotional-sentient and mental energy (3) are also brought into relationship; one potent
vortex of force is then set up which eventually becomes so systematized and integrated
that we call its aggregated expression Personality, (4) and in time this aggregate
[380] becomes a realized potency and thus completes the fourfold lower man.
These four
types of energy are then brought into relationship with the ego or soul. This brings then
into play another and higher type of energy expression, and thus the five energies
integrate, blend and fuse.

These five
energies, when rightly related to each other, produce one active force center, through
which the Monad can work, using the word Monad to express the first differentiation of the
One Life, if such a paradoxical phrase can be employed. Its use is only permissible from
the standpoint of the personal self, still limited and imprisoned in the "I"
consciousness.
The Technique of Fusion deals with the production of a close interplay of the five
above enumerated aspects of energy which have been, in due time, integrated into a unity.
It is really a fusion of the four forces and the one energy. This fusion produces:
A demonstration of personality activity when, in response to the Technique of
Integration, there is
Response and interplay between the threefold lower man.
A gradual emergence of the dominant note of the lower man which will, in time, indicate
the nature of the personality ray.
The quality of the personality ray, in its higher aspects, emerges into living
expression. Great beauty of character or great forcefulness will then appear.


Gradually, the qualities of the personality energy are transmuted into those of the ego
or soul and the fusion of the two energies - soul and body - is then complete. [381]
