Jake / Daniel et al -

Quotations below are from “The Voice of the Silence”  by HPB – Peking
edition 1927, text p.9 and footnotes p. 76. :


Let not thy "heaven Born," merged in the sea of Maya, break from the
Universal parent (SOUL) but let the fiery power retire into the inmost
chamber, the chamber of the Heart (23) and the abode of the World’s Mother.
(24)

Then from the heart that Power shall arise into the sixth, the middle
region, the place between the eyes, when it becomes the breath of the
ONE-SOUL, the voice which filleth all, the Master’s voice.


(23 )The inner chamber of the Heart, called in Sanskrit Brahmapoori. The
‘fiery power’ is Kundalini.

(24) The “Power” and the “World Mother” are names given to Kundalini—one of
the mystic “Yogi powers.” It is Buddhi considered as an active instead of a
passive principle (which it is generally, when regarded only as the
vehicle, or casket of the Supreme Spirit ATMA.) It is an electro-spiritual
force, a creative power which when aroused into action can as easily kill
as it can create.

These citations from the ‘Voice of the Silence’ when studied with HPB’s ES
Instruction V (including the KH letter on Concentration) are certainly
revealing of insights into the interrelationship of the Buddhic principle,
the heart chakra and the transformative power of kundalini.  DePurucker’s
article on “The Nature of the Buddhic Principle” in “Studies in Occult
Philosophy” adds additional context for a clear understanding of the
Buddhic principles function, both psychologically and spiritually. These
are just some very brief notations as this subject which would really need
many weeks (years ….?) of careful study and contemplation….

PS - I fail to see the value of ‘subjective’ assertions:   ‘liking vs. not
liking’ , someone ‘of authority’ seeing or not, transmitting or not etc….. 
with little insight or comment as to meaning and no thought as to where
everything in the realm  of ‘Blavatsky thought’ has evolved to -- today ! 
AMAZING !

Contradiction re concentration Letter?
  
HPB writes:
  
"[[The Tantrists]] five Breaths and 
five Tattvas are chiefly concerned with 
the prostatic, epigastric, cardiac 
[[heart]], and laryngeal plexuses.  . . . 
with followers of the old school it 
is different. We begin with mastery 
of that organ which is situated at 
the base of the brain, in the pharynx, 
and called by Western anatomists the 
Pituitary Body." (BCW, XII, P. 616)
  
   I'd call concentrating on an image 
of a teacher in your heart a "beginning" 
exercise as it was presented in the 
"concentration-letter" and ES Instruction 
V  (BCW XII, p. 696), yet Blavatsky says 
in ES Instruction III, that HER school 
has their "beginning" exercise on 
concentrating in the head.  Isn't this 
a contradiction and evidence the 
"concentration-letter" is phoney?

   Good gods!  Chuck is actually related 
to a Pope (might even have been directly 
in those days!)
