the following is an excerpt from "the path of initiation," the book that david
had
transcribed. it mentions drawing a diagram. i was wondering if this diagram or
picture
was availabe on the internet anywhere, thank you.
__________________________________________________ _______
it would now be a great help to the student to make a diagram as follows:
take a piece of white drawing paper and a few colored pencils.
draw first an outline of the human body. it doesn't matter how crude this is.
draw out-
side it, about half an inch spaced, a red outline. write between this and the
body, "physical
consciousness, the earth, the animal, the flesh". draw another outline in pink
pencil,
another half-inch out. write inside it, "etheric consciousness, water, instinct,
dreams,
subconscious". the next outline is blue. write inside it, "consciousness on the
astral
plane, clairvoyance, the third eye, fire". the next is green. write inside it,
"consciousness
on the mental plane, will, mental mastery, acquisition of knowledge, air."
the last one, which encloses all, is violet. write under it,
"superconsciousness, the
indestructible seed, cosmic consciousness, visions, reality, prana, integration
of the whole
man in to the unity of knowledge, where no division exists".
[dw: this five-fold system comes from ancient hindu studies, as realized in
modern
theosophical studies, which the author appears to be well-versed in. the law of
one
series explains that there are many seemingly contradictory hierarchies of
planes and
corresponding colors in various teachings, of which the above is one example,
but that all
are distorted reflections of the seven "true color densities" ? vibrationally
similar to the
colors of the rainbow and the tones of the major scale ? before we return to the
eighth
level of oneness, or the octave. this system is spelled out in our other works,
including
the law of one study guide, and a bit further on here in our next excerpt.]
