Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01649)

I think, perhaps, this posting was meant for Odin and not me. Leon addressed the paths to perfection.

Dear Cass:

The universe is made up of immortal "lie-atoms" -- the MONADS. 

Their time-space is eternity in the UNIVERSE and that means they are in one
of these three categories:


1 Sub-human experience (mineral, vegetable, animal intelligence)

2 Human experience with an independent self-conscious mind-faculty

3 Super-human INTELLIGENCE, DISCRIMINATION AND CONSCIOUSNESS -- the
realm of the MAHATMAS and the Gnanis (DHYAN CHOHANS ) 

See SECRET DOCTRINE I 610 to 634, paying attention particularly to the
teachings given on pp. 619, 623-4, 627-632. 

All are at various levels on their individual pilgrimages towards
perfection.

The OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY

The KEY TO THEOSOPHY

SECRET DOCTRINE


They cover in many ways all these. But few read them carefully.

There are only a dozen important truths that make all the difference.


1 Every MONAD is an immortal and eternal PILGRIM. The goal is SUBLIME
PERFECTION -- or ALL-KNOWINGNESS.

2 The UNIVERSE is made up of such Monads. There is no "void." 

3 The ABSOLUTE exists as an inexplicable and unalterable BACKGROUND to
everything and it is time-exempt. There is no "Personal God."

4 HUMANITY is composed of such MONADS as have attained the level of
INDEPENDENT MIND usage. MAHAT, the Universal Mind has always planned
evolution. Its graduates are the GREAT MAHATMAS, and the Cosmic DHYAN
CHOHANS. 

5 LAW rules everything. No exceptions, No hiding places. No
wipe-out.

6 Material forms change constantly as the Monads acquire experience.
Every monad has to undergo the same trials and "succeed" eventually.

7 REINCARNATION is a universal phenomenon. All Monads that have
attained the "Mind-level" undergo this. From it, begins active participation
in the Cosmic Plan and assistance to all else. 

8 There is an imperishable record in the Universal as well as the
mundial AKASA of every feeling, thought, and action made by any being since
the beginning of "time."

9 The ESOTERIC PHILOSOPHY and the SCIENCE OF OCCULTISM are identically
an expression of the accumulated wisdom of the Universe and this is accessed
only by those who are perfect in VIRTUE.

10 LAW and VIRTUE are synonyms.

11 Self-Sacrifice, service, generosity, assiduity in devotion and
study, are the primary requisites of perfection. "Fearlessness, sincerity,
assiduity in devotion, generosity, self-restraint, piety, and alms-givings,
study, mortification, and rectitude; harmlessness, veracity, and freedom
from anger, resignation, equanimity, and not speaking of the faults of
others, universal compassion, modesty, and mildness; patience, power,
fortitude, and purity, discretion, dignity, unrevengefulness, and freedom
from conceit¯ these are the marks of him whose virtues are of a godlike
character, O son of Bharata" { Ch 16 GITA .}

12 Those, O son of Pritha, who are born with demoniacal dispositions
are marked by hypocrisy, pride, anger, presumption, harshness of speech, and
ignorance. The destiny of those whose attributes are godlike is final
liberation, while those of demoniacal dispositions, born to the Asuras' lot,
[suffer] continued bondage to mortal birth; { Ch 16 GITA .}


THEOSOPHY says it as it is. 


13. The "Personality" needs to realize (using strict logic) its
"self-imposed disciplines," when attuned to the UNIVERSAL PLAN, are the only
"path" for its integral and ultimate "survival." 


The "personality" has to "toe the line." No good alternatives anywhere. 

Best wishes,

Dallas

These four lower material constituents are transitory and subject to
disintegration in themselves as well as to separation from each other. 
When the hour arrives for their separation to begin, the combination can no
longer be kept up, the physical body dies, the atoms of which each of 
the four is composed begin to separate from each other, and the whole
collection being disjointed is no longer fit for one as an instrument for
the real man.

But the remnants of the other bodies do not disintegrate, they remain,
waiting as the Dweller on the Threshold
