… is to dissociate the beings which make up your life. Firstly, because it is easiest, you should segregate that Form which is called the Body of Light (and also by many other names) and set yourself to travel in this Form, making systematic exploration of those worlds which are to other material things what your own Body of Light is to your own material form. Now it will occur to you in these travels that you come to many Gates which you are not able to pass. This is because your Body of Light is itself as yet not strong enough, or subtle enoug…

…s: it is given, in an improved form, in LIBER HHH. [See Tur Equinox LV. 5.] 42. Before that path is entered, thou must destroy thy lunar body, cleanse thy mind body, and make clean thy heart. The Lunar body is Nephesh, and the Mind body Ruach.: The heart is Tiphareth, the centre of Ruach. 43. Eternal life’s pure waters, clear and crystal, with the monsoon tempest’s muddy torrents cannot mingle. We are now again on the subject of suppressing thought. The pure water is the stilled mind, the torrent the mind in- vaded by thoughts. 44. Heaven’s dew…

So joyful it became that it whirled round in a mad dance, and was filled with music. It was stifled by the confines of the room; but “I” was Free, so it couldn’t matter much.

THE TWO PATHS of the state of one who is in this body is given in “The Her- mit of Esopus Island.” Such is a rough account of these ‘robes’ according to Mme. Blavatsky. She further adds that the Dharmakaya body has to be renounced by anyone who wants to help humanity. Now, helping humanity is a very nice thing for those who like it, and no doubt those who do so deserve well of their fel- lows. But there is no reason whatever for imagining that to help humanity is the only kind of work worth doing in this universe. The feeling of desire to do so…

But within thy body—the shrine of thy sensations— seek in the Impersonal for the “Eternal Man’; and having sought him out, look inward: thou art Buddha. “Shun ignorance”: Keep on acquiring facts. “Shun illusion”: Refer every fact to the ultimate reality. “Interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with your Soul.” “Mistrust thy senses”: Avoid superficial judgment of the facts which they present to you.

But it is to be considered as having been developed to the highest point possible that is compatible with incarnation. The Sambhogakaya has ‘three perfections’ added, so- called. These would prevent incarnation. The Dharmakaya body is what may be described as the final sublimation of an individual. It is a bodiless flame on the point of mingling wit…

(5) I started control of body some months later when I had in some measure lost the complete recollection of the state, or rather when it was little more than a recollection, also, when I first saw picture of man’s arm in Equinox, I rather dreaded to cut mine, so thought it best to carry out exercise and get over bodily dread of a little pain.

Presently found my astral body in a sort of open Temple Square with 4 pillars for corners, open sides and a high domed roof. In the centre of the floor was a circular basin of water. Someone said (of the water) “It is Thyself” (or thy mind). Could distinguish nothing for some time. Presently a star appeared in the centre of the pool, evidently reflected through a circular hole in centre o…

…uide and thy true Self, the Watcher and the silent Thinker, the victim of thy lower Self. Thy Soul cannot be hurt but through thy erring body; con- trol and master both, and thou art safe when crossing to the nearing “Gate of Balance.” Here we have Alaya identified with Atma. The rest of the verse is mostly poetic nothing, and there is no guide to the meaning of the word “Soul.” It is a perfectly absurd theory to regard the body as capable of inflicting wounds upon the Soul, which is apparently the meaning here. The definition of Atma gives imp…

The harper also laid aside his harp, and played in- finite tunes upon the Pan-pipe. 41. Then the bird desired exceedingly this bliss, and laying down its wings became a faun of the forest. 42. The harper also laid down his Pan-pipe, and with the human voice sang his infinite tunes. 43. Then the faun was enraptured, and followed far; at last the harper was silent, and the faun becam…

…or during the second—the details of which I have not recorded—he noticed that although the object of the practice was the control of the body by not crossing the legs, yet the attempt of the legs to drop into their old habits often had the effect of making him suddenly more careful in his speech, thus showing that there was an underlying connection in his subconscious mind resulting from his former work.
