A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section One - Division C - The Etheric Body and Prana |
c. Microcosmic Static Disorders, or a
consideration of the etheric body in connection with its work of providing a ring-pass-not
from the purely physical to the astral. As has been said, both here and in the books of H.
P. B., the ring-pass-not 48a is that confining barrier which acts as a
separator or a division between a system and that which is external to that system. This,
as may well be seen, has its interesting correlations when the subject is viewed (as we
must consistently endeavor to view it) from the point of view of a human being, a planet
and a system, remembering always that in dealing with the [111] etheric body we are
dealing with physical matter. This must ever be borne carefully in mind. Therefore,
one paramount factor will be found in all groups and formations, and this is the fact that
the ring-pass-not acts only as a hindrance to that which is of small attainment in
evolution, but forms no barrier to the more progressed. The whole question depends upon
two things, which are the karma of the man, the planetary Logos, and the solar Logos, and
the dominance of the spiritual indwelling entity over its vehicle. 48a "Ring-pass-not. The circumference of the sphere of influence of any center of positive life. This includes the fire sphere of magnetic work of the solar orb, viewing it as the body of manifestation of a solar Logos, and inclusive of an entire solar system. This term is also applied to the sphere of activity of a planetary Logos or to a planetary scheme and could equally well be applied to the sphere of activity of the human Ego." S. D., I, 346. |
