Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00124)

 Hi Cass,

Thought is related to the mind. 

The ABC theory (which is nothing more than the science behind the 
theosophical metaphysics) only tells us how that "field of mind" is related to all the 
other fields of consciousness from Atma to the Physical Body. It also tells us 
how the thought images are carried holographically in the interference 
patterns of vibrations on the surface of the mind field... How they are perceived by 
our zero-point centers of consciousness... And, how those images are 
transformed coenergetically by inductive resonance processes (according to the laws of 
electricity based on the fundamental laws of cycles and periodicity) from the 
mind field to the memory fields and the brain field, along with the lower 
astral sensory and emotional body organ fields, as well as, ultimately, to the 
Akasha through the Buddhi and Atma fields, to rest in the "Spinergy" of the 
ubiquitous zero or Laya point of our individual being -- as our Skandas... That 
determine our individual, group, and universal karma -- which operates on and 
effects all levels of our consciousness, and ultimately focusses in our mind. 

Thus, by meditating on the mind and its thought images (so as to bring them 
up to our perceptive awareness) we can (after meeting the "dweller on the 
threshold" or all our past evil thoughts and deeds) -- through a consciously 
directed act of will based on a true understanding of who and what we are -- 
transcend that karma by changing the direction of all our thoughts and the subsequent 
acts of contrition based on them.

That process, in its fundamental simplicity, is how all things, as above so 
below, are related to everything else in the universe -- from the smallest 
element of consciousness in each fundamental "Atom" or quantum particle, up to the 
consciousness of the highest Dhyan Chohans and the Universe itself. 

Therefore, it follows that each such entity, once they attain self awareness, 
must work out their own karma and ultimate *enlightenment* for themselves. 

I hope this simplified spiral of logical relationships ties it all together 
in a nice tight Gordian Knot... And, gives us some idea of how to unravel it. 
:-) 

Best wishes,

Leon

** P.S. Incidentally, in my view, "enlightenment" means, taking the burden of 
karma off our backs.
