Extracts from the writings by Alice A. Bailey and Master D. K.



There is a fundamental law called Law of Periodicity, which rules every manifestation, either a Solar Logos (*) through a solar system, or the manifestation of a human being through a form. This law equally rules in all the kingdoms of nature.

__________

* Solar Logos – Every solar system is the manifestation of the Life and Energy of a great Cosmic Existence which, lacking a better term, we call Solar Logos.
__________


In the system there are other laws linked to the Law of Periodicity. The following are some of them:

a) Law of Economy: law that rules the Matter, the third aspect

b) Law of Attraction: law that rules the Soul, the second aspect

c) Law of Synthesis: law that rules the Spirit, the first aspect.

These are three cosmic laws. There are also seven systemic laws that rule the manifestation of our Solar Logos (see Fundamental Laws).

* * *

The Solar Logos is ruled by the Law of Synthesis. It keeps everything in a synthetic unity or homogeneousness. Its subjective life is ruled by the Law of Attraction, Its material form is governed by the Law of Economy. It is going to undergo another cosmic law, still incomprehensible to men, revealed only to the higher initiates.

* * *

The third cosmic law is the Law of Economy, the law that adapts in the most advantageous way and with minimal waste of force all that concerns the material and spiritual evolution of the cosmos. It makes every atom of time and eternal period perfect; it brings everything forward, upward and through with minimal effort, with the right adaptation of balance and the right frequency of rhythm. The inequality of rhythm is in actual fact an illusion of time; it doesn't exist in the cosmic center. We must reflect on this, because it contains the secret of peace; we also need to grasp the meaning of the word through, because it describes the next expansion of conscience of the humankind and it has an occult meaning.

In the nomenclature of these laws much is lost because it is totally impossible to translate abstractions into words without losing the deep sense of the process. In the three cosmic Laws as well the triple idea is manifested and the correspondence, as it could be expected, is still valid.

Law of Synthesis..........Will Aspect............First Aspect
Law of Attraction........Love Aspect..........Second Aspect
Law of Economy.........Activity Aspect.......Third Aspect

* * *

The Second Logos (or Vishnu), the divine Ray of Wisdom, the great principle of spiritual Intuition (known also as principle of Buddhi) that tries to blend with the principle of Intelligence, is characterized by Love. Its motion can be called cyclical in a spiral shape. Using the rotating motion of all the atoms, It adds its own spiral periodic motion and moving along a orbit or spheroid trajectory (which revolves around a focal point in an ever ascending spiral) it obtains two results:

a) It gathers atoms in shapes.

b) Through these shapes it obtains the necessary contact and develops the full conscience on the five planes of human evolution, gradually purifying and refining the forms when the Spirit of Love or divine Flame carries on in a spiral shape towards its goal, which is also its source.

[�] The activity of the Second Logos is supported by the cosmic Law of Attraction. The Law of Economy has, among its subsidiaries, a law of relevant development, called Law of Rejection. The cosmic laws of Attraction and Economy are therefore the raison d'etre (from a certain point of view) of the eternal rejection that lasts whilst the Spirit tries to free from the form. The matter aspect always follows the line of least resistance and rejects all the tendencies to the formation of groups, whilst the Spirit, ruled by the Law of Attraction, always tries to detach from matter with the method of attracting a kind of substance more and more suitable, whilst the process of discrimination between real and unreal unfolds, going from an illusion to another until all the resources of the matter have been used.

* * *

The Third Logos (or Brahma) is characterized by Active Intelligence. Its method of action is called rotating, viz. the measured revolution of the matter of the system; at first it works as a whole that puts in motion the material inscribed inside the whole insurmountable link; in second instance it differentiates it in seven planes according to the seven notes or vibratory frequencies. On each of these planes the process continues and the matter of each plane, within the insurmountable link of the plane, is manifested at first as a whole and then in a seven-fold differentiation. This differentiation of matter is produced by the rotating motion and it is ruled by the Law of Economy […] which can be considered as the dominating factor in the life of the Third Logos. Therefore:

a) Its goal is the perfect fusion of Spirit with Matter.

b) Its function is the manipulation of the matter (or prakriti), in such a way that it becomes suitable to the requirements and needs of the Spirit.

c) Its method of action is rotating, viz. the growth of the activity through the revolution of the matter, therefore making it more malleable.

These three concepts are governed by the Law of Economy, which is the Law of Adaptation in time and space, or the line of least resistance. This line of least resistance is what is sought and followed on the matter side of existence.

* * *

The third aspect, or Brahma aspect of the activity of the Entities which are Its expression, is characterized by the method of distribution of the matter that we call Law of Economy. This is the law that governs the dispersion of atoms of matter, their reciprocal dissociation, their wide distribution, the vibratory rhythm, the heterogeneousness, the quality and their inherent rotating action. This Law allows the matter to follow the line of resistance all the time and it is the basis of the separating action of the atomic matter. It governs the matter, the opposite pole of spirit.

[�] It is the law that undergoes what religious writers have mistakenly called "the fall", which is in actual fact the involutional process from the cosmic point of view. It led to the seven-fold differentiation of the matter of the system. Just like the Law of Attraction led to the seven-fold psychic differentiation of the Children of Mind and the effect of the Law of Synthesis is the seven-fold perfection of the same Manasaputra*.

__________

* Manasaputra – They are the Children of the Mind, the individual principle of man, the Ego, the solar Angel in one's body on the abstract levels of the mental plane.

__________


[�] In conclusion, we can add that the Law of Economy must be mastered by the initiates before They can achieve liberation. They must learn to manipulate the matter (as a domain and coordination of the three-fold lower vehicle, note of the Editor) and to work with the energy or strength of the matter, under this law. They must use the matter and the energy for the purpose of achieving the liberation of the Spirit and bring results form the propositions of the Logos in the evolutionary process.

* * *

Man is governed by the Law of Attraction, he evolves through the Law of Economy and goes under the Law of Synthesis. Economy governs the material process, which from the conscience point of view doesn't concern him much. Attraction governs his link with other unities or groups; synthesis is the law of inner Self, of life inside the form.

* * *

- The Law of Synthesis, determines the future, accepts the goal and concerns the life or spirit aspect.

- The Law of Attraction, determines the present and rules the immediate condition of the planetary species. It concerns the conscience or soul aspect.

- The Law of Economy determines the past, affects the planetary conscience and concerns the form or matter aspect (personality).

* * *

This is the principle (of freedom) behind the Spirit of Death, which forms the motivating power of this great Agent of liberation. It is what creates a path of power between our Hierarchy and the far away sun, Sirius (the system of the Logos of Sirius is for our Solar Logos what the superior Ego is for man's personality) and it gives the incentive towards the education to freedom or liberation that drives the work of the Masters of Wisdom; it is what produced the ferment and vortex of conflict in far away ages, which has been recognized today through the results of the Law of Evolution in all the kingdoms of nature. It is what undergoes or is behind any progress. This mysterious exerted influence , this abstraction away from the form (as we could say in simple words) emanates from Sirius and we don't have a name for it. It is the law which the three cosmic laws – Law of Synthesis, of Attraction and of Economy – are only aspects of. None of these three subsidiary laws imposes rules or limits to the Master of the World. Nevertheless the Law of Freedom imposes certain restrictions, if we can use such a paradoxical expression. Because of it He is known as the Great Sacrifice, because (under the domain of this law) He created our planetary life and all that exists inside and above it, for the purpose of learning to apply this law with full understanding, full conscience and at the same time to bring liberation to the myriad of forms of His creation.

Nowadays the Law of Economy affects the whole of mankind in every stage of its life. The Law of Attraction starts taking a little control, especially in the work that the Hierarchy starts doing; many initiates and disciples become aware of the meaning of the Law of Synthesis and they react to its impact. Later on, when they reach one of the seven Paths, the masters will work with the Law of Freedom. This is not, as you can imagine, its real name, because after all freedom and liberation are the effects of its activity. This unique and mysterious law governs Life and Lives on Sirius and it represents for the unknown sphere of functioning and intelligent activity what the Law of Economy represents for our planet, the lowest of the laws that govern the existence in the form of the planet.

The Law of Economy includes many secondary and subsidiary laws; therefore we could say that this Law of Freedom does the same thing. Until we realize that there are other divine attributes and they are recognized as aspects, it is not possible to give a name to the law that incorporates the Law of Freedom, because in our language there isn't a suitable word to express it. Nevertheless, the previous information will connect in our minds Sirius and our small planet, Earth.

* * *

The Law of Economy has seven subsidiary laws that govern its effects on different degrees of matter. As we have already said, this is the law put in action by the sounds emitted by the Logos. The Sacred Word, or Sound emitted by the Creator exists in various forms; although it is in actual fact a unique Word, it has several syllables. The syllables together form a solar sentence; separated, they form certain words of power that produce different effects*.

__________

* «�the Veda, the world song in human sound that was given to man for his use metaphysically from the standpoint of its meaning, and magically from the standpoint of its proper recitation. The world song obeying certain laws of proportions or the Pythagorean arithmetic and imparting its thrilling effect to the domain of cosmic substance, has induced the latter into a crystallization process that the philosopher Plato called the geometry of the cosmos. The various forms that are observed from a molecule of salt crystal to the wonderfully complex organism of the human body are well the structures of the great cosmic geometrizer known as Viawakarma (the universal constructive principle, the Master of the creating beings), the deva carpenter in our Puranic writings (see analogy with the Great Architect of the Universe, Note of the Editor) . The revealed Veda whose function is to trace out the cosmos from one basic sound substance symbolized as Om (see "In the beginning was the Word" of Biblical tradition, Note of the Editor), necessarily split itself into a primal three, a subsequent seven vowels and then into seven notes and then into seven combinations of the seven notes on a basic three and then into hymns. All these falling into the material field of the consonants, gradually produced the manifested crystallized forms which are collectively taken as the universe. The world to a thinker is the magic motion produced by the Orphean singer or the Hindu Saraswati (sacred underground river symbol of intellectual clarity – the form of the latent unsaid word)�» - From Some thoughts on the Gita
__________


The great Word that resounds for a hundred years of Brahma, or that continues to reverberate through a solar system, and the sacred sound A U M in differentiation as it is heard in time and space, each of the three mystic letters stands for the first letter of a subsidiary sentence that consists of various sounds. A letter with a succession of four sounds forms the vibration or note of Brahma, which is the intelligence aspect dominating in the matter. From here the hidden mystery of the pentalpha derives, in the fifth principle of the mind and the five planes of human evolution. These five letters resounded on the right note give the key for the true interiority of matter and therefore for its domain, which is founded on the right interpretation of the Law of Economy.

Another sentence, this time made of seven letters, a letter for each of the seven Celestial Men*, embodies the sound or note of the Vishnu aspect, the second logoic aspect or aspect constructing forms. When it is resounded correctly or partially with its complete or incomplete reverberation, forms are built and adapted. The Law of Attraction is expressed through the manipulation of the matter and its disposition in the forms for the use of the Spirit.

__________

* Celestial Men – they are the seven planetary Entities, the seven Planetary Logos (Cosmic Beings) which in the whole form the body of the three-fold Logos. Therefore we have:

1)

The undifferentiated Logos – Cosmic Entity;

2)

The Logos in its three-fold manifestation:

a.

The Cosmic Lord of Will-Power;

b.

The Cosmic Lord of Love-Wisdom;

c.

The Cosmic Lord of Active Intelligence.

3)

The three-fold Logos, seven-fold in manifestation, viz. the seven planetary Logos.

__________


Then a third Word or sentence is added to the first two, completing the whole logoic word and producing the accomplishment. It is a nine-letter word, which gives the twenty-one sounds of this solar system (5 + 7 + 9). The last nine sounds produce spiritual synthesis and dissociation between spirit and form. We have a correspondence with the nine initiations, each of which marks a more and more perfect fusion of the Self with the Unique Self, and a further liberation from the impediments of the matter.

When the sense of hearing on all the planes is perfect (which is a result of the correct understanding of the Law of Economy) these three great Words or sentences will be known. The Knower will pronounce them in his true key, therefore blending his own sound to the whole volume of vibration and achieving the immediate realization of his essential identification with Those from which words proceed. When the sound of the matter, or of Brahma, resounds in his ears on all the planes, he sees all the forms as illusions and he is freed, recognizing himself as omnipresent. When the sound of Vishnu resounds inside him, he recognize perfect wisdom in himself and distinguishes the note of his being (or that of the Celestial Man whose body he is part of) from the group notes and recognizes himself as omniscient. When the note of the first aspect or Mahadeva (literally it means "Great Deva"; the term is often attributed to the First Person of the manifested Trinity, Shiva, the Destructing Aspect, the Creator), follows the other two, he recognizes himself as pure Spirit; with the accomplishment of the agreement he is immersed in his Self, viz. in the source where he came from. The mind is not any more, the matter is not; nothing is left but the Self immersed in the ocean of the Self. In each stage of relative accomplishment one of the laws enters in action: first the law of matter, then the law of groups, finally the laws of Spirit and liberation.

* * *

In the Personality (the three-fold inferior self) three energies meet and blend; they express themselves through a tangible external form, also colored, motivated and conditioned by a fourth: the energy of fundamental matter.

1. The energy of the mind. The force of manas. The reflection of divine will and proposition. Motivation. The drive to formulate plans according to the Law of Synthesis.

2. The energy of feeling. The ability to respond. The emotional feeling, astral energy. The reflection of love. The force of desire. The drive to aspire. The divine evolutionary stimulation. The tendency to attract, to be magnetic, according to the Law of Attraction.

3. The energy of life. The ability to integrate and to coordinate. The strength of the ethereal and vital body. The reflection of intelligent activity or divine motion. The drive to act, to be dynamic according to the Law of Economy (…)

4. The energy of dense matter. The exteriorized activity. The automatic reactions of the external cover. The densest point of unity. The lowest aspect of synthesis.

* * *

The person who aims at being a point of contact between the state of chaos and Those Who work for the order and with constructive goals (viz. to become a creative servant, Note of the Editor), should use, in every occasion, the necessary element called common sense. This implies the observation of the law of economy of force, because of discerning and fair sense of values. When all this exists, it will be possible to save time and strength, to distribute energies wisely and to eliminate the excess of zeal so that the Great ones can rely on his shrewdness and find a valuable help in him.

Subsidiary laws to the Law of Economy

There are four subsidiary laws to the Law of Economy and they concern the lower quaternary.

1. The Law of Vibration, which concerns the fundamental note, measure of each plane. By knowing this law we can rule the materiality of the seven divisions of each plane.

2. The Law of Adaptation is the law that rules the rotating motion of each atom in all the planes and sub-planes.

3. The Law of Rejection rules the relationships between atoms from which their non-detachment and their complete reciprocal freedom derive. It also keeps them in rotation in fixed points of the globe or sphere of opposite polarity.

4. The Law of Friction rules the color aspect of every atom, the radiation of every atom and the effect of this radiation on the other atoms.


Each atom of matter (like all the spheroid bodies inside the system and the system itself considered as a cosmic atom) can be studied under four aspects and it is ruled by one or the other or by all the four laws.

a. An atom vibrates according to a certain measure

b. It rotates with a certain speed

c. It acts on the surrounding atoms and reacts to them

d. It reaches its quote in the general heat of the atomic system, whatever it might be.
