A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Div. B - Manas as a Cosmic, Systemic and Human Factor |
Every root race has its own particular style of vegetation, or
certain basic forms and designs which can be traced in all countries where the race
locates. These [497] results are brought about by the interaction between the basic note
of the vegetable kingdom itself, and the note of the race of men who are evolving
simultaneously. The union of these two notes is that which produces distinctive
vegetation, though it should be remembered that when the human note dominates too strongly
it is apt to drive out the life of the forms of this second kingdom. The devas who work in
this kingdom are a special group, and have a closer and more peculiar relation to it than
have the builders or devas in any other kingdom. The transmutative process is effected
more easily in the vegetable kingdom than in any other owing to this very factor, and also
to the incentive given to this second kingdom and its evolutionary process by the coming
of the Lords of the Flame from the second or Venus globe - pre-eminently the globe with
which this kingdom has a mysterious connection. If I might express it in other words: the
cosmic Entity, Who is the life of the second globe and its informing principle, has a
close connection with the solar Entity Who is the informing life of the entire vegetable
kingdom. This analogy can be worked out in connection with the other kingdoms, globes and
other forms and accounts somewhat for the fact that this fourth 63, 64 globe is
above everything else the globe of human evolution in this scheme; it gives also the clue
to the mystery of the Presence of the great Kumara Himself upon earth. These thoughts
merit close attention. [498] The note of the human kingdom, sounded in quadruple intensity on this globe, has produced portentous happenings, and I would suggest to all occult investigators the close study and scrutiny of the following manifestations in time and space:
One fundamental sound is responded to by all these varied factors; it is the note that is the cause of their existence and the basis of their being. This note, if sought for and found, will bring into close alliance all of these factors till they are blended into a great occult unity; it will bring likewise into cooperation the band of devas who are the essences of the fourth human principle. 63 The Fourth Round. The present (our) Round being the middle Round (between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and the 5th, 6th and 7th) is one of adjustment and final equipoise between Spirit and matter. It is that point, in short, wherein the reign of true matter, its grossest state (which is as unknown to Science as its opposite pole - homogeneous matter or substance) stops and comes to an end. From that point physical man begins to throw off "coat after coat," of his material molecules for the benefit and subsequent formation or clothing of the animal kingdom, which in its turn is passing it on to the vegetable, and the latter to the mineral kingdoms. Man having evoluted in the first Round from the animal via the two other kingdoms, it stands to reason that in the present Round he should appear before the animal world of this manvantaric period.
