The ancient Greeks, such as Pythagoras believed that Deity is within the atom; that fire is in all things.1 They called every mathematical point in space a Monad 2, a potential god, a consciousness center. It is indivisible. It is the Life of the atom, which atom, is its vehicle.
The Introductory Postulates of the book: "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire"3 on page 3 states:
"I. There is one Boundless Immutable Principle; one Absolute Reality which antecedes all manifested conditioned Being. It is beyond the range and reach of any human thought or expression. The manifested Universe is contained within this Absolute Reality and is a conditioned symbol of it.
"In the totality of this manifested Universe, three aspects are to be conceived.
"1. The First Cosmic Logos, impersonal and unmanifested, the precursor of the Manifested.
"2. The Second Cosmic Logos, Spirit-Matter, Life, the Spirit of the Universe.
"3. The Third Cosmic Logos, Cosmic Ideation, the Universal World-Soul.
"From these basic creative principles, in successive gradations there issue in ordered sequence the numberless Universes comprising countless Manifesting Stars and Solar Systems.
"Each Solar System is the manifestation of the energy and life of a great Cosmic Existence, Whom we call, for lack of a better term, a Solar Logos.
"This Solar Logos incarnates, or comes into manifestation, through the medium of a solar system.
"This solar system is the body, or form, of this cosmic Life, and is itself triple.
"This triple solar system can be described in terms of three aspects, or (as the Christian theology puts it) in terms of three Persons:
ELECTRIC FIRE, or SPIRIT
"1st person.....Father. Life. Will. Purpose. Positive energy.
SOLAR FIRE, or SOUL
"2nd Person....Son. Consciousness. Love. Equilibrized energy.
FIRE BY FRICTION or BODY, or Matter.
"3rd Person....Holy Form. Active Intelligence. Negative energy.
"Each of these three is also triple in manifestation.
"These three aspects of God, the solar Logos, and the Central Energy or Force (for the terms are synonymous) demonstrate through seven centers of force,- - -three major centers and four minor. These seven centers of logoic Force are themselves so constituted that they form corporate Entities. They are known as:
"a. The seven planetary Logoi.
"b. The seven Spirits before the Throne.
"c. The seven Rays.
"d. The seven Heavenly Men."
As a general rule, whenever seven entities are mentioned in the ancient occult science of India in any connection whatsoever, you must suppose that those seven entities came into existence from three primary entities; and that these three entities, again, are evolved out of a single entity or Monad. To take a familiar example, the seven colored rays in the solar ray are evolved out of three primary colored rays; and the three primary entities co-exist with the four secondary colors in the solar ray. Similarly the three primary entities which brought a human being into existence co-exist in him with the four secondary entities which arose from different combinations of the three primary entities. 4
This is a profound law. It means that every life, every atom, every entity, whether mineral, human or solar, is threefold and demonstrates through seven vehicles, one for each of the seven principles or elements, which form the planes or worlds. Every Atom has seven planes of being and is doomed to incessant differentiation.5
Dr. David Bohm, the eminent scientist, in his book, Wholeness and the Implicate Order refers to these planes as implicate orders or dimensions. These implicate dimensions or planes are of attenuated substance ranging in consciousness from the material to the super-spiritual.
Imagine a world made of mental substance! All worlds, planes, things and/or entities, whether visible or invisible, are made up of LIVES of varying degrees of consciousnesses and qualities. The Raja-Lord of a plane is the sum total of the substance of that plane.6
The planetary Entity of the dense physical Earth is on the involutionary arc6a and is a very low grade Entity7. It has no emotion, no mind, but it is latent within it. In the next solar cycle, when the Lord of the solar system reimbodies Himself, this entity will continue with its development, as will every other entity. Perhaps it might become an etheric body of a planet. Even my computer is an entity on the involutionary arc. (sometimes I wonder if it has a mind of its own!) I speak nicely to it, so that we can work together harmoniously.
Everything evolves, even a God is in the process of becoming and is required to reincarnate or reimbody itself. The basic law of Periodicity governs all manifestation including all the kingdoms of nature. There is a birth, an existence, and a death. Then a period of rest, and another cycle of rebirth. This cycle of rebirths also is endless.8
Every manifestation of a life, an atom, an electron, a sub-atomic particle a human being or a god, is in the process of unfolding its innate divinity. It is the inner divine principle, the divine Electric Living Flame, of the ONE Life, that is seeking expression through its vehicles, in order to gain experience in these worlds.
The goal for an atom is self-consciousness as exemplified in the human kingdom. 9 The goal for a human being in this solar cycle is, when the latent fire of the personality or lower self, blends with the fire of mind, that of the higher self, or the soul, and finally merges with the Divine Flame, then the man takes the fifth major Initiation9 a in this solar system, and has completed one of his greater cycles. When the three blaze forth as one fire, liberation from matter, or from material form is achieved.10
Then there is a higher goal, and yet a higher goal. Even the Lord of a galaxy, has His goal of conscious self-consciousness on every plane or world, which planes or worlds are infinite. Goals on the ladder of infinity, never end. There is room for all Lives, as SPACE is endless.
An electric bulb demonstrates how the energies of Spirit and Matter manifest CONSCIOUSNESS or LIGHT, which is the Soul. The positive wire of a bulb relates to spirit; the negative wire relates to matter. As long as these wires are kept apart, there is no manifestation; but when the two interact and blend, there is Light or Consciousness. This is referred to as the 2nd aspect of Deity, called the SOUL, the Son of God, for a human being. The third aspect is the form or matter aspect, which is the vehicle for the Life.11
Atoms are but force centers, and the centers are as we know of them, are but aggregates of force POINTS, which have reached a specific point in evolution, and are responding to the first great aspect in some degree or to electric fire, the fire of Spirit.12
Our present humanity is working to integrate the three vehicles of the personality: the mental, emotional and physical. This takes ages. Advanced humanity is working to align these three aspects and to be aware of the soul. The best way to align these three aspects is through preparation for meditation.13 The Masters who have achieved, look for SERVICE in the aspirant. Meditation is the scientific method of contacting the soul. Study, meditation and service is the advice given to students who seek self-mastery.

A monad is a spiritual entity which to us humans is indivisible; it is a divine-spiritual life-atom, but indivisible because its essential characteristic is homogeneity; while that of the physical atom, above which our consciousness soars, is divisible, is a composite heterogeneous particle.
