Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01677)

I read with much interest the article posted by Leon on 
consciousness. (Ref Peter Daley) In particular I am interested in 
the soul, being an electro-magnetic light force. I hope I have this 
correct. Please educate me if I am wrong.

The Eastern Iniatiates maintain that, as the supra-divine Essence of 
the Unknown Absolute is equally in every domain and 
place,the "Central Sun" is simply the centre of Universal life-
Electricity; the reservoir within which that divine radiance, 
already differentiated at the beginning of every creation is 
focussed. Though still a laya, or neutral condition, it is 
nevertheless, the one attracting, as also the ever emitting life 
Centre. Footnote P240 SD.

As above, so below, our laya point (the soul) is a differentiation 
of the Central Sun. So to find soul, does the search begin with 
understanding, the light that we call Our Sun.

I would like to clarify that I see our Sun, as the physical 
manifestation on this planet, of the Unknown Absolute. IMO The 
Aztecs hit the mark in worshipping the Sun, as god's representative 
on earth.

HPB says that "Occult philosophy denies that the Sun is a globe in 
combustion, but defines it simply as a world, a glowing sphere, the 
real Sun being hidden behind, and the visible being only its 
reflection, its shell. The Nasmyth willow leaves, mistaken by Sir 
W.Herschel for 'Solar inhabitants' are the reservoirs of solar vital 
energy, the 'vital electricity that feeds the whole system...The Sun 
in abscondito being thus the storehouse of our little Kosmos, self 
generating its vital fluid, and ever receiving as much as it gives 
out,and the visible Sun only a window cut into the real Solar palace 
and presence, which reflects, however, faithfully the interior work.
Thus there is a regular circulation of the vital fluid throughout 
our system, of which the Sun is the heart (Cass: as the Soul is the 
heart of consciousness)the same as the circularity of the blood in 
the human body (Cass: consciousness circulating from the heart 
centre) - during the manvantaric solar period, or life; The Sun 
contracting as rhythmically, at every return of it, as the human 
heart does. Only, instead of performing the round in a second or 
so, it takes the solar blood ten of its (our)years, and a whole year 
to pass through its auricles and ventricles before it washes the 
lungs and passes thence to the great veins and arteries of the 
system."

How much knowledge is hidden within these two paragraphs.

Can anyone direct me to where I can find knowledge about our Sun's 
vital fluids, what the light source is,in theosophical terms.

I am posting this on my "mother group page" as an interim necessity.
