Esoteric psychology 1

But in the head of man himself is also to be found
a marvellous symbolic happening.
In that living organism is enacted that drama
whereby the purely human being,
merges himself in divinity.
The great final drama of the mystical union  
between God and man,
and between the soul and personality,
is enacted there.
 
According to Eastern philosophy,
there are in the head of man two great energy centres.
One of them,between the eyebrows,
blends and fuses the five types of energy
which are transmitted to it
and blended with it,-the energy
of the three centres below the diaphragm,
and of the heart and throat centres.
 
The other,the head centre,
is awakened through meditation,service and aspiration,
and it is through this centre  
that the soul makes it contact with the personality.
 
This head centre is the symbol of the Spirit
or positive masculine aspect,
just as the centre between the eyebows
is the symbol of matter,
of the negative feminine aspect.
 
Connected with these force vortices  
are two physical plane organs,
the pituitary body and the pineal gland.
The first is negative and the second positive.
These two organs are the higher correspondences
of the male and female organs of physical reproduction.
 
As the soul becomes increasingly potent
in the mental and emotional life of the aspirant,
it pours in with greater power into the head centre.
As the man works with his personality,
purifying it and bending it
to the service of the spiritual will,
he automatically raises the energies
in the centres in the body
up to the centre between the eyebrows.
 
Eventually the influence of each of the two centres
increases and becomes wider and wider,
until they make contact with
each others vibratory or magnetic field,
and instantly the light flashes out.
Father Spirit and Mother Matter  
unite and are at one,and the Christ is born.
 
"Except a man be born again  
he cannot see the Kingdom of God,"
said the Christ.
This is the second birth,and from that moment
vision comes with increasing power.

This is again the great drama of sex,
re-enacted in man.
Thus in his personal life he three times
knows the meaning of union,of sex:


1 In the physical plane sex,or his relation
to his opposite,the woman,resulting in
the reproduction of the species.

2 In the union of the lower energies
with the higher,resulting in the creative work.

3 In the union within the head of the energies
of the personality with those of the soul,
resulting in the birth of the Christ.


Great is the glory of man and wonderful
are the divine functions which he embodies.
