A Treatise on White Magic - Rule Ten - The Centers, Energies and Rays
The above enumeration might therefore be arranged in the following order. The table gives man as he is intended to be and not as be now is in the course of his evolutionary progress.
1. Self-assertion (full development) | The coordinated quaternary | Center at base of spine | Adrenals.
2. Self-expression (creative work) | Lower brain | Throat center | Thyorid.
3. Self-conscious life (personality) | Upper brain | Head center | Pineal gland.
4. Self-perpetuation | Sex organs | Sacral center | Sex glands.
5. Mental life | Cerebro-spinal system | Ajna center | Pituitary.
6. Sensory life | Sympathetic nervous system | Solar plexus | Pancreas.
7. Cell life | Blood stream | Heart center | Heart.
The eighth point, the vital life, functioning through the seven centers and a whole system of lesser chakras and the nadis (which underlie the nerves and are the cause of their existence as the centers are of the glands) is the medium of many forces and energies - some purely physical, others related to the Anima Mundi, the World Soul, and others unknown as yet, because they will only make their presence felt later in the evolutionary program. They will then express divinity, the energy of the Father or the highest aspect. It should be noted that the above tabulation pictures the second ray unfoldment, and also that the self referred to is the self-realization of the spiritual man. The lowest aspect of the vital life of God is the perpetuation of the species, and this is the result of the livingness of the incarnated Life; and the next is simply expressive of the stage when the "I" consciousness is dominant and has reached its consummation in the completed personality. Then comes the expression of the indwelling self, hidden by the personality, through its creative activity of a non-physical character. Finally, we have the assertion or full manifestation of the divine nature. This, curiously enough, can only occur when the lower spinal center is aroused, when the energy of the material nature is carried by an act of the will up into Heaven, and when therefore the entire nature - material, sensitive or psychic, and the existence aspect - are unified and realized. Meditate upon these words, for they connote the consummation as far as humanity is concerned. [287]
