COSMIC CREATION ~ AHIH

Before we begin, it is very important to understand that 'space is an entity', and that the universe is alive and has intelligence. Consider the following:

• The divine creative and synthesising SPIRIT permeates and transcends all levels of being in the infinite universe.

1. The universe is the physical body of an ALMIGHTY INTELLIGENCE Whom we call 'God Immanent and Transcendent'.
2. His omnipresent body is composed of (in a descending hierarchy of greatness) an infinite host of lesser intelligences. Therein we lesser beings are ordered according to the level of inclusiveness of our consciousness. (The consciousness of the Almighty is All-inclusive.)
3. The lesser gods (called Elohim in Hebrew) are the organs (galaxies and super-galaxies) and other major self-contained but interdependent systems of His body. They are the machinery through which He fulfills His Universal Purpose. They too possess a physical body conformed of lesser lives through which they function. This is a pattern that is repeated down the infinite scale of conscious life - the greater ever encompassing the smaller. Thus is woven the fabric of existence.

4. Every living entity in the universe has its own body of manifestation. That is, a body it closely identifies with and through which it operates. All such bodies are composed of seven major centres of activity (or force). Our solar-system is one such force-centre in the body of a vast Intelligence Whose consciousness comprehends seven solar-systems.
5. These Seven are analogous to the seven chakras in the human form and like the chakras they each fulfil a specific function in accord with the Purpose of the central Life Who formulated and sustains them.
6. Each cosmic chakra distributes its own type of force to the other six and is thus also the receiver of six unique forces. This circulation occurs in accord with the Purpose of the One Life Who governs all seven.
7. The medium through which these diverse cosmic forces flow is analogous to the etheric (electric) body in man. The etheric body is based upon an intricate network of energy currents extending between the centres. In like manner, but on a larger scale, the seven cosmic forces are disseminated through the many constellations of stars that infuse our galaxy (the Milky Way). From our solar-system's perspective there are twelve major cosmic channels delivering the seven basic types of radiation between It and It's Brothers and Neighbors. These correspond to the twelve zodiacal constellations - the symbolic manifestation of the twelve petals of a cosmic golden lotus.
8. Likewise, our solar-system is governed by an Intelligence Whose physical form is seven-fold. Within It's 'body' are seven major force-centres. These correspond with seven major planets that are the physical embodiment of seven planetary logoi. (Some of these are what are called 'sacred' planets.) They are like the seven pipes of Pan upon which our solar deity plays as He composes the Destiny of our solar-system.
9. Our planet Earth is not one of the seven sacred planets (it not having yet completed the 3^rd cosmic Initiation). At this stage it's an imperfect expression of the divine consciousness. Because the Solar Logos cannot fulfil His Purpose through an untuned instrument, He seeks to raise the consciousness of the Earth through the directed force of the other centres/planets (minor and major) within Him. Thus as far as the Earth is concerned, the function of the other planets (i.e. solar chakras) is to raise the level of consciousness of Humanity and all terrestrial life so that it becomes fitted to express the Purpose of the Solar Logos. Ultimately all the planets in our system must harmonise with the One Purpose of the Solar Logos.
10. Finally, the Earth too is a septenary Being and Humanity is the manifestation of one of the seven chakras of Sanat Kumara (i.e. Who is our Earth logos). In one sense we are the expression of His Throat chakra, but in the three dimensional world of human living we are the manifestation of His Solar-Plexus chakra. As our consciousness is raised we become merged with the next 'higher' planetary chakra. We are now at a time in planetary evolution when there is occurring a much needed raising of consciousness into the Heart centre of our Logos. This is the place wherein dwell the Masters and their disciples. It is located on the Buddhic plane (of the intuition). Concurrently there is a reciprocal movement of energy from the Heart chakra into the planetary Solar-Plexus centre.

Our solar system is one of seven systems composing the primary chakras of a cosmic entity Who is known by the appellation 'The One Of Whom Naught May Be Said'. Within the body of manifestation of that supreme being our system is the physical expression of His heart chakra, and therefore it is a cosmic focus for the energy of the 2nd Ray (of love-wisdom). Thus, the 2nd ray is the fundamental ray underlying and governing our solar system.

When our solar logos willed to extend His being into the cosmic physical plane, He did so by what I call the universal Law of Three. This is a procedure used by all true creators from God down to man. It is described by the qabalistic formula AHI (aleph-ha-yod) meaning 'I exist' or 'I am' in the Hebrew language.

Figure 1.

Thus when the Creation is viewed wholly as a process of physical manifestation the formula appears as HIA meaning 'she, herself' in Hebrew. This is appropriate since the formula HIA and the word 'she' might be said to especially represent the 'form principle' also referred to as the Great Mother principle.

0) A (aleph): SPIRIT. The unmanifest creator overseeing the whole creative procedure; operating from the 'inner' planes.

1) H (ha): FORM. The first 'manifest' act of the creative process involves the placing of a subjective limitation upon the objective (or universal) form principle (H, ha). This entails the delineation of a boundary, or the establishment of parameters within which the creator will work. The creator develops and nurtures the delimited form principle until it finally achieves a condition amenable to the influx of his life-giving creative essence, or consciousness.

This initial phase of the threefold process naturally defines the working parameters of the creation and has its correspondence with the first significant part of the life of a human-being - the first cycle of Saturn (leading up to the age of 28 approx.). Up until that time the emphasis is upon our (more or less selective) absorption and collation of information and the learning of practical skills from the environment. This information supplies the substance, and forms the foundation for the creative activity of the second phase of the cycle (i.e. I, yod).

2) I (yod): CONSCIOUSNESS. During phase two the creator infuses the previously prepared 'base material' with his own consciousness. In other words, he allows his imagination to play within the framework of assimilated knowledge and experience that he had constructed (in the prior phase).

In the case of the solar logos, He injects the power of His creative consciousness into the living environment of the solar system - the community of microcosmic forms He has prepared for His habitation. In the life of a human-being, this stage corresponds with the second 28 year cycle of Saturn, from the age of 28 to 56 (approx.). For Humanity it is a time of personal creative endeavor as we apply our own vibration (or creative essence) to our chosen field of activity, study, or work.

3) A (aleph): SPIRIT. The unseen creator finally manifests himself within and through his physical vehicle by revealing his original purpose during the third stage of the Law of Three. He does so by influencing the consciousness principle which in turn becomes increasingly receptive to and expressive of His divine purpose. In this phase the creatures of the solar creation collectively unite themselves towards the supreme purpose of the solar logos.

It is during the third 28 year Saturnian cycle (from the age of 56 to 84 approx.) that a human-being becomes more conscious (if he has successfully applied the Law of Three) of the unfolding purpose of his incarnation. The flow of divine inspiration gradually begins to reveal an underlying theme - a singular purpose with which all past efforts and achievements have been unconsciously connected, and towards the fulfillment of which the whole life-force now becomes consciously directed.

And so during this phase we passionately and lovingly concentrate our life energies towards the ultimate and inevitable consummation for which we have been unconsciously preparing ourselves for our whole life.

Imagine a beam of white light that emanates from the being of the solar logos and pierces the prism of cosmic etheric 'matter' that underlies the physical form of the solar system. In other words, it flows from the plane of Adi and enters the plane of Atma. The beam is then diffracted into seven subsidiary rays (or vortices) of energy which arise upon the monadic plane. Seven major groups of monads were thus conformed and these compose the seven chakras of the solar logos. These seven 'cosmogenetic' groups are like seven 'fruits of consciousness' - the evolutionary product of previous cosmic cycles. Thus did the seven 'Heavenly Men' (planetary logoi) come into being in our solar system. (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2.

It needs to be realised that what we mean by the consciousness principle is the level of being from which an entity functions creatively. In the case of the solar logos functioning on the cosmic physical plane, the main thrust of His creative endeavour is coordinated by the seven Heavenly Men Who are especially associated with the monadic plane - the second sub-plane of the cosmic physical plane. Hence the monadic plane is considered the location of the systemic consciousness principle.

It is not until the appearance of the microcosm that the lesser expressions of the creative (or consciousness) principle emerge within our universe. The microcosm is chiefly characterised by the four lower sub-planes of the cosmic physical plane - the buddhic, mental, astral, and etheric/physical planes of our universe, and also corresponds especially with the four rays of attribute, and the seven lower sephiroth of the Tree of Life.

The cosmic physical plane consists of what we, as human-beings, consider to be the seven major planes of our universe. They are in fact the seven sub-planes of the 'lowest' cosmic plane - the cosmic physical plane. They are named as follows:

We shall now examine the Tree of Life from the macrocosmic vantage point.

Note. The sephirothic colours used in the Tree of Life diagram in the figure below are the standard sephirothic colours (Queen scale). The colours used in some of our other illustrations portray the elemental attributions of AHIH.

 Figure 3.

When the cosmic creative process began, the solar logos over-shadowed a region of etheric space and conformed the physical structure and dynamics of the solar system. From His high place He supervised the evolution of the form principle until a living sentient form adequate to his purposes emerged. The solar system with its attendant and profuse variety of natural life-forms was born. This process occurred during what we call the first solar cycle, in a past incomprehensibly distant. The human form was chief among the forms relatively perfected during that time.

Here follows another 'word picture' that is based once again upon the Tree of Life format. It describes the physical formation of our solar system.

1. The spiritual Being that is our Solar Logos, desirous to express Himself on the physical plane, penetrates the ether of space with a ray of His Will.
2. He pierces a hole in the spatial fabric and permeates with His Will a defined and limited region of the sea of atomic particles that fill the cosmic 'void'.
3. He causes these particles to converge, spiraling towards the central point (the point of His entry) where they unite together in a fusion reaction forming elemental substances and basic physical compounds. There is much heat and light produced in the birth of a star.

***

4. The nuclear inferno expands to fill an immense volume of space - to the limit of His Desire.
5. As it does so, the substance of the conflagration differentiates itself into seven revolving concentric rings of graded matter.
6. The finest (or most elemental) grade of substance blazes in an intense fiery ball at the centre.
7. By an inherent force of gravity the seven rings of matter themselves contract into seven material globes that continue to revolve around the central fire.
8. The light and heat of the sun permeates the matter of the seven planets with Its Will and Desire.
9. Seven grades of life are spawned as each planet gradually awakens to its particular attribute of consciousness.
10. Thus is created the body of our Solar Logos.

We are now well within the second solar cycle which corresponds with yod (I) of the HIA formula. At the commencement of the present cycle the logos permeated the prepared 'physical' substance of the solar system with His creative essence, thereby initiating a current of creative activity and consciousness development within His embodiment - our solar system. (See: Figure 4.)

Figure 4.

Note: Master Djwal Khul describes these vast evolutionary solar cycles by the term 'solar systems', but it is unclear to me as to whether or not he is implying the actual physical death of our solar system and its rebirth in a new form. My feeling is that He is speaking symbolically and hence I have chosen to use (in most places in my work) the term 'solar cycle'.

As I mentioned previously, the primary (or solar) ray of our solar system - the vibration which forms the very basis of its existence - is the 2nd ray of love-wisdom. Every monad, every elemental unit or atom that has originated within the body of the solar logos is fundamentally coloured by the 2nd ray.

As the logos manifested upon the cosmic physical plane, His primary energy was diffracted (by the form principle) into seven secondary forces and thereby He formulated His seven chakras - as personified by the seven Heavenly Men. Therefore, every human monad is keyed to the vibration of one of the seven secondary (or 'planetary') rays of the system and thus also to one of the planetary logoi.

A human monad is the originating source of the human expression within the cosmic physical plane. They are located on the second, or Monadic plane. They are like seeds held within seven fruits (or seed-pods) and together they form a collective creative intelligence, cooperating in love and wisdom in order to manifest the divine purpose of the planetary logoi and therefore, ultimately, that of the solar logos.

The Emergence of the Microcosm

In actuality, what we have been considering above in relation to the formulae AHI and HIA is the manifestation of what is termed the 'divine triad' - the original three macrocosmic powers that oversee the divine creative process. These three correspond to the three Rays of Aspect as well as the three supernal sephiroth (i.e. Kether, Hockmah, and Binah) of the qabalistic Tree of Life.

Figure 5.

Master DK discusses certain relationships (portrayed in figure 5 above) in His book Cosmic Fire. There He makes the following comment...

In connection with the manifestation of electricity on the mental, astral and physical planes. We will not enlarge upon the subject, as it will later be discussed as fully as may be possible. Suffice it to say that the law holds good and that what is laid down as fact anent a Heavenly Man on His Own planes is equally true of man on the four lower planes. Thus:

A SOLAR LOGOS

Electrical vibration - the plane logoic or adi.
Electrical light - the plane monadic or anupadaka.
Electrical sound - the plane of atma.
Electrical color - the plane of buddhi.

A HEAVENLY MAN

Electrical vibration - the plane monadic.
Electrical light - the plane of atma.
Electrical sound - the plane of buddhi.
Electrical color - the mental plane.

MAN

Electrical vibration - buddhic plane.
Electrical light - the mental plane.
Electrical sound - the astral plane.
Electrical color - the physical plane.

We need to remember here that we were earlier dealing with the Logos, and with the Heavenly Men as incorporate parts of His body of manifestation. In the tabulation above given we are dealing with each separately, and it should be observed that the manifestation of the groups of causal bodies on the mental plane is the color manifestation of a Heavenly Man and His lowest point of objectivity. In man his lowest point of objectivity is the fifth subplane of the physical plane, as the liquid and the dense subplanes are not counted as principles any more than the cosmic liquid and dense (the astral and the systemic physical planes) count with a Heavenly Man.  [A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, pp. 331-332.]

Figure 6.

The human arrangement of the AHIH formula is…

The basic structure of Figure 6 remains the same for all four creative beings - Human, Initiates, Planetary Logos, and Solar Logos, but the four planes assigned to the terms of the formula change in each case. The following diagram illustrates the special AHIH relationship that exists between the Solar Logos and Humanity.

Figure 7

For a planetary logos the AHIH formula appears thus:

The human expression on the abstract mental plane, the golden lotus, is a cell belonging to one of the seven 'etheric' centres in the body of a planetary logos. The flow of these 'cells' within the cosmic etheric network - that is, between the chakras of a planetary logos, and between the planetary logoi of our and other solar systems, determines the physical system and planet into the sphere of which a human soul will incarnate.

A human-being therefore, has another ray quality to colour his personal expression - a soul ray. It pertains to the further subdivision of one of the seven planetary rays. Therefore, the picture so far looks like this:

There are thus 49 major groups or ashrams within our solar system - each one presided over by a Master. They exist upon the Buddhic plane wherein the creative principle of Initiate Humanity is located (see below). Therein the initiates of the Spiritual Hierarchy are dedicated to the evolution of the 'matter' of the Mental plane - to the unfoldment of the souls (i.e. mental/causal bodies) of all human-beings. Which brings us to the AHIH formula in relation to Initiates:

As regards an Initiate human-being, his creative consciousness is centred on the Buddhic plane, where he joins together with his fellows in the work of planetary/human evolution. It is towards this unified planetary evolutionary purpose that his individual creative energies are directed. This is to be understood in terms of the overlapping of the Initiate's AHIH by the overshadowing planetary AHIH.

It will be noticed that the evolutionary activity of the planetary 'initial ha' (H) overlaps (and therefore, guides) the creative energies of the Initiate's yod (I). Both currents emanate from the Buddhic (4th) plane but one is of a higher order than the other. The lesser (i.e. yod of Initiate Humanity) falls under the dominion of the greater (i.e. initial ha of planetary logos). Here, indeed, is much food for deep and prolonged meditation! (See Table 1.)
