METAPHYSICAL LAW
It soon becomes apparent to the student of metaphysics that although it is intended as an intellectual exercise which stretches the imagination and credulity, there is an underlying spirituality. This because it involves appreciation and an attempt to analyse the manifestation which proceeds from the Mind of The Absolute, and requires a hierarchical system of celestial agencies in categories of gods down to the elementals of the three worlds of minerals, plants and animals ; all of which at sometime and in a certain cycles of creation have passed in the first instance. Every lifestream has to pass through the three kingdoms, and then into the human phase, as required of all monads from the diaspora at the beginning of time. The human state is the hub,or pivot, of evolutionary change from the downward arc of Involution into matter, and the upturn into Evolution back to the Original Source in ever increasing "gestalts", or group consciousness, but never losing the sense of indiviuality in spite of the sacrifice of freewill which on close examination does not convey freedom at all.The eons of time and repeated cycles within cycles required for this long journey seems rather forbidding to the human mind The human phase is one of successive rebirths and different personalities and is the most difficult, and in the alchemical view is a"Crucible in the Fires of Karmic Experience".
It is all subject to Law, which was determined in the Mind of The Absolute on that level of abstraction appertaining toThe Primary Trinity. This Law can be divided into Three Major and Four Minor laws. Behind all these is the Fundamental Law of Karma, which is a law of Cause and Effect administered by its own hierarchy. The law of Action and Reaction being equal and oppposite is a well-known law of physics ; the same holds true for ethics and morals and even thoughts, regardless of whether there is awareness of it or not. The judge of this is always The True Self, synonymous with the Soul, and arranges such rebirths and environments deemed appropriate for compensation and correction due errors in previous lives. According to which we should be very prudent in what we do and how we think, but unfortunately, we have as a race exhibited a recidivist tendency throughout a very long history, with serious karmic repercussions responsible for all our present day problems. If it is any comfort, generally speaking the time spent in earthly existence is only a small part in comparison with that spent on the more subtle realms in between lives; and yet there are exceptions, these are the most primitive and some of the most advanced on the path to self-realization in which the rebirths may be immediate, or very shortly after death.
There are Laws of Creation and Rays of Creation .There are 3 Major Cosmic Laws amd 7 Subsidiary Systemic Laws. Correspondences exist btween Rays, Laws and Planes and Subplanes. The prevalence of a particular ray varies according to the stage of evolution of the lifestream and the passage through a particular sector of space. Monads issue on a certain ray and will be required to experience existence on all seven rays, eventually.
There are five volumes on the Rays by A.Bailey, we will therefore confine ourselves to The Seven Laws.
There is an interesting correspondence in the relationship beween the 3 Major Rays and the 3 Major laws in reference to the 3 Supernals of The Sephiroth, and The Trinity. Aspect ,Ray,and Law In the Microcosm relate thus:
! Symbol ,Circle, Unity, Will, Synthesis, Father (+ Arrow), The Head Centre.
2 " Spiral . Duality ,Love, ATTRACTION,Son ,The Heart Centre
3. " Vortex. Trinity, Activity, Economy, Mother, Solar Plexus
Aspect ( 1) is symbolised by the Boundless Circle and the Arrow as the impetus of the Will/Intent and the Law promoting ever increasing Group Consciousness and Action in a process of Synthesis.
Aspect( 2 ) is symbolised by a Spiral Motion characteristic of Evolution through Cyclic changes, by way of the Ray of Love/Wisdom and The Lawof Attraction.
Aspect ( 3 ) the Trinity in Action by The Mother as The Builder and Destroyer of Forms in the evolutionary process.
In addition to the 3 Major Rays and the 3Major Laws there are 4 Minor Rays and 4 Minor Laws, making 7.
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION HAS 4 SUBSIDIARY LAWS :
1. Cohesion/Disintegration
2. Magnetism
3. Fixation
4. L-O-V-E
For further elucidation of this rather complicated subject reference should made to the "Treatise on Cosmic Fire".
THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF EXISTENCE
The LAW by which the phenomenal worlds are governed applies to ALL LIFE, and is administered by The Supreme Lords of Karma .
THE LAW IS THE GOD BEHIND ALL CREATIONS.
