Esoteric Psychology II - Daily: Sunday, 16th of March [see prior post] This accounts for the intense difficulty of the life of every disciple at this stage. Several processes are simultaneously going on: 1. The mind factor is steadily becoming more dominant, increasingly clarified and usable. 2. The three aspects of the lower nature are working in closer unity all the time, each growing at the same time in individual potency. 3. The personality ray is making its presence felt, and the expressed power of the man (within his environment) is equally increasing. 4. The soul ray is, at times, projecting itself and this produces in the early stages those difficult upsets and turmoils which are usually of a distressing kind. It is at this stage therefore that the Technique of Fusion can profitably be used, preserving at the same time the realized integrity of the motive which, if correctly apprehended, should be 1. The motive of a realized objective of soul control in response to a living reaction to its sensed pull or call. [383] 2. The motive of service, in response to a sentient realization of humanitys need. 3. The motive of cooperation with the Plan, in response to an intelligent appreciation of its nature and existence. Again you will note that we have swung back to our three major themes: Soul control, Service, and the Plan. It might, therefore, seem that this particular technique will be a sevenfold one like the Technique of Integration, but in this you would be mistaken. It is a threefold technique based upon the fact that all souls are eventually divided (again a paradoxical phrase when dealing with souls, but what can be done when modern language proves inadequate to the demands of soul knowledge) into three major groups, or rather distinguished by three major qualities, those of the first, second and third rays. Life, the One Life, manifests through these three major qualities, which condition its sevenfold appearance, and which are essentially Will, Love and Intelligence. This Technique of Fusion evokes these three qualities in relation to the soul, to service and to the Plan. At the same time, it brings illumination to the mind (thus revealing the soul and the kingdom of God); it brings increased imagination (creative and dynamic) to the emotional sentient nature, the astral body (thus revealing relationship and responsibility); it brings likewise inspiration to the physical life, to the physical body, via the brain (revealing actual capacity to cooperate intelligently with the Plan). Therefore, we shall have to consider a technique which will do three things: 1. Bring Illumination, through the evocation of the Will or first aspect of divinity. 2. Bring Imagination, through the evocation of Love, the [384] second aspect or of sentient response to the world soul in all forms. 3. Bring Inspiration, through the evocation of the Intelligence, the third aspect.
