[In this diagram all the Kosmic Planes should be figured as of one size—the size<br />

given to the lowest plane, Prakriti. Further, within the circle all the Prâkritic Planes<br />

should be of one size—that given to the first, or lowest. To do this would make so<br />

large a diagram that the planes are compressed.—Ed.]<br />

Kosmic Planes(Page 555)<br />

General Notes<br />

<strong>The</strong> two planes above dealt with are the only two used in the Hatha Yoga.<br />

Prâna and the Auric Envelope are essentially the same, and again, as Jîva, it is the<br />

same as the Universal Deity. This, in its Fifth Principle, is Mahat, in its Sixth, Alaya.<br />

(<strong>The</strong> Universal Life is also seven-principled.) Mahat is the highest Entity in Kosmos;<br />

beyond this is no diviner Entity; it is of subtlest matter, Sûkshma. In us this is Manas,<br />

and the very Logoi are less high, not having gained experience. <strong>The</strong> Mânasic Entity<br />

will not be destroyed, even at the end of the Mahâmanvantara, when all the Gods are<br />

absorbed, but will re-emerge from Parabrâhmic latency.<br />

Consciousness is the Kosmic seed of superkosmic omniscience. It has the<br />

potentiality of budding into the Divine Consciousness.<br />

Rude physical health is a drawback to seership. This was the case with Swedenborg.<br />

Fohat is everywhere: it runs like a thread through all, and has its own seven divisions.<br />
