Five - Concrete Knowledge or Science
Three
Minds Unite
2+8+9+5+5
+ 4+9+5+4+1 + 3+5+9+2+5 = 76 = 13 = 4
This asserts the
fact that the Universal Mind, the higher mind and the lower concrete
mind are blended through the projected antahkarana.
The 5th Ray Word
is composed of three words each constructed of five letters.
The 5th Logos is
the life that unifies ever the "three" and the "five".
In this combination of letters and words we have the idea of the
"3" and the "5".
This is
of immediate importance to comprehend because the sacred numbers
for the 5th ray are the "35".
Let me briefly explain
why this is the case. In this manner the correct geometry of the
ray forms of the 5th ray will be better understood. The "3",
is of Higher manas and the "5", of lower manas. The "3",
and the "5", are the living spiritual fires of the middle
principle of the Creative Logos. Together they produce Ogdoad as
3+5 = 8.
In the Universal
System , the "8" is seen as embodying the Soul Principle
and ever stands or the eternal and spiral motion of cycles - the
Alpha and the Omega.
In the highest sense,
the "3" and the "5" supply the intellectual
fruit and the efflorescence of intellectual self-conscious Egotism.
The Ternary represents the abstract mind, while the Quinary or Pentagram
stands for the lower or concrete scientific mind. The "3",
is formless, the "5", stands for the form. The "3",
is higher, the "5", is lower.
The "3"
is abstract truth penetrating into the world of the Divine Ideas
and the "5" is the academic side of the divine art of
knowledge. Cipher "3" indicates intelligent ability in
the field of mental knowledge, symbolized by the "5".
The Triad stimulates or electrically vivifies the acquisition of
mental knowledge on the 5th plane of mind.
The supernal Triad
epitomizes the essence of synthesis while the Pentagram represents
the art of analysis. Together the "3" and the "5"
transfigure, transform and transmute the mind. They are the agents
of illumination to human souls and are where spirit and matter are
balanced and co-equal. Together they gather all with wisdom into
the boundary of the Plan of the Logos bringing the divine ideas
into being and materializing the supreme vision. The "3"
stands for the supernal light and the "5" stands for the
light-bearer. The Triad is illumination, the soul of the Logos,
represented by the Pentagram, is the agent of the Divine illumination.
The 5th ray is the
perfect expression of the divine knowledge, symbolized by digit
"5" which rests in pure being, symbolized by digit "3".
The influence of the supernal Triad within the fivefold mind crystallizes
electrified forms in human consciousness.
The Dual Cipher
35 concerns form building and the utilization of matter and with
the embodying of ideas or entities. These numbers lead to the scientific
adaptation of matter to form.
The fifth Logos
is the life that unifies ever the three and the five. Together the
"3" and the "5" create and over-create material
things, producing the multiplicity of form and as well, create the
multiplicity of ideas in the world of thought.
They define power
with definite purpose and organize and work with will. The "3"
embodies the pure light of the Logoic day, the "5" expresses
the darkness of night. The "3" is the way out, the "5
is the way in. The "3" and the "5" are the power
of choice, of choosing the way. The "5" best represents
the desire for knowledge leading to material activity and sensuous
perception. The "3" stands for intelligence and the "5",
represents the conscious control.
The Three is conceptual;
the Five represents thought forms. Through the Ternary and the Pentagram
are produced the means whereby perfection is carried consciously
forward and together they produce the sensitivity of the mind to
the light and wisdom of the Creative Logos.

student learn and appreciate that dual cipher 35 is the source of
All Knowledge and represent all that can be known of anything.
The goal of the
5th ray soul is harmony and intuition indicated by the [RAN] value
of the 5th Ray Word, the "4".
Harmonization, beauty
and joy is reached through the fifth plane, and the fifth Ray of
Concrete Knowledge acts as a step to the fourth, for many who work
on the fifth Ray pass eventually to the fourth.
S.D.P.
I would like here
also to point out some further relationships. You know well that
upon the mental plane the three aspects of mind, or the three focal
points of mental perception and activity, are to be found:
1.The
lower concrete mind.
This expresses itself most completely through the fifth Ray of
Concrete Science, reflecting the lower phase of the will aspect
of divinity and summarizing within itself all knowledge as well
as the egoic memory. This lower concrete mind is related to the
knowledge petals of the egoic lotus and is capable of pronounced
soul illumination, proving eventually to be the searchlight of
the soul. It can be brought under control through the processes
of concentration. It is transient in time and space. Through conscious,
creative work, it can be related to the manasic permanent atom
or to the abstract mind.
2.The
Son of Mind.
This is the soul itself, governed by the second aspect of all
the seven rays - a point I would ask you seriously to register.
It reflects the lower phase of the love aspect of divinity and
summarizes in itself the results of all accumulated knowledge
which is wisdom, illuminated [461] by the light of the intuition.
Another way
of expressing this is to describe it as love, availing itself
of experience and knowledge. It expresses itself most fully through
the love petals of its innate being. Through dedicated and devoted
service it brings the divine Plan into activity in the three worlds
of human accomplishment. It is therefore related to the second
aspect of the Spiritual Triad and is brought into functioning
activity through meditation. It then controls and utilizes for
its own spiritual ends the consecrated personality, via the illumined
mind, referred to above. It is eternal in time and space.
3.
The abstract mind.
This reveals itself most completely under the influence of the
first Ray of Will or Power, reflecting the higher aspect of the
will of divinity or of the atmic principle; it summarizes in itself
when fully developed the purpose of Deity, and thus becomes responsible
for the emergence of the Plan. It energizes the will petals until
such time as the eternal life of the soul is absorbed into that
which is neither transient nor eternal but which is endless, boundless
and unknown. It is brought into conscious functioning through
the building of the antahkarana.
This "radiant
rainbow bridge" unites the illumined personality, focused
in the mind body, motivated by the love of the soul, with the
Monad or with the One Life, and thus enables the divine manifesting
Son of God to express the significance of the words: God is Love
and God is a consuming Fire. This fire, energized by love, has
burnt out all personality qualities, leaving only a purified instrument,
colored by the soul ray and no longer necessitating the existence
of a soul body. The personality has by this time completely Absorbed
the soul, or to put it perhaps more accurately, both soul and
personality have been fused and blended into one instrument for
the use of the One Life.
