These three aspects of the Whole are present in every form.

a. The solar system is triple, manifesting through the three above mentioned.
b. A human being is equally triple, manifesting as Spirit, Soul and Body, or Monad, Ego and Personality.
c. The atom of the scientist is also triple, being composed of a positive nucleus, the negative electrons, and the totality of the outer manifestation, the result of the relation of the other two.

The three aspects of every form are inter-related and susceptible of intercourse, because :

a. Energy is in motion and circulates.
b. All forms in the solar system form part of the Whole, and are not isolated units.
c. This is the basis of brotherhood, of the communion of saints, and of astrology.

These three aspects of God, the solar Logos, and the Central Energy or force (for the terms are occultly synonymous) demonstrate through seven centres of force, three major centres and four minor. These seven centres of logoic Force are themselves so constituted that they form corporate Entities.

They are known as :

a. The seven planetary Logoi,
b. The seven Spirits before the Throne,
c. The seven Rays,
d. The seven Heavenly Men.

The Seven Logoi embody seven types of differentiated force, and in this Treatise are known under the names of Lords of the Rays. The names of the Rays are :

Ray I Ray of Will or Power. lst Aspect
Ray II Ray of Love-Wisdom. 2nd Aspect
Ray III Ray of Active Intelligence. 3rd Aspect
These are the major Rays.

Ray IV Ray of Harmony, Beauty and Art.
Ray V Ray of Concrete Knowledge or Science.
Ray VI Ray of Devotion or of Abstract Idealism.
Ray VII Ray of Ceremonial Magic or Order.

And to go a little farther ....

The confines of the Heavens Themselves are illimitable and utterly unknown. Naught but the wildest speculation is possible to the tiny finite minds of men and it profits us not to consider the question. Go out on some clear starlit night and seek to realise that in the many thousands of suns and constellations visible to theunaided eye of man, and in the tens of millions which the modern telescope reveals there is seen the physical
manifestation of as many millions of intelligent existences; this infers that what is visible is simply those existences who are in incarnation..

Realise further that the bodies of all these sentient intelligent cosmic, solar and planetary Logoi are constituted of living sentient beings, and the brain reels, and the mind draws back in dismay before such a staggering concept.

Yet so it is, and so all moves forward to some unfathomable and magnificent consummation which will only in part begin to be visioned by us when our consciousness has expanded beyond the cosmic physical plane, and beyond the cosmic astral until it can "conceive and think" upon the cosmic mental plane. That supposes a realisation beyond that of the Buddhas who have the consciousness of the cosmic physical plane, and beyond that of the planetary Logoi. It is the consciousness and knowledge of a solar Logos..

We need to remember that, under the Law of Correspondences, we shall have a relationship in the Cosmos, similar to that existing in the microcosm between the ego and the personality. The suggestion holdsmuch that we might consider with benefit. We must not, however, carry the analogy too far; as we have not yet evolved to where we have planetary consciousness, still less systemic, how can we really expect even to conceive of the A B C of cosmic truth? Just broad hints, wide conceptions, and generalities, are as yet possible. Of one thing we can be sure, and that is that identity ever remains..
