The Pythagoras' Teachings
The Ancient Greek Teachers, 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 Monad2, a potential god, a consciousness center. It is indivisible. It is the Life of the atom, which is its vehicle.
​
The Ageless Wisdom Teachings maintain that there is one immutable, boundless, unknowable, all-inclusive, inconceivable Principle. That this Principle is the manifestation of the energy of a great cosmic Existence. For lack of a better term, it is called a Solar Logos. This Solar Lord creates His own solar system, which is also threefold:
Electric Fire, or Spirit is the 1st Person, the FATHER aspect:
Life, Will, Purpose.
Solar Fire, or Soul, is the 2nd Person, the SON aspect:
Consciousness, Love-Wisdom
Fire by Friction, or Body, is the 3rd Person, the HOLY SPIRIT aspect:
the Form, Active Intelligence.
Each of these three is also TRIPLE in manifestation. These three aspects of the whole are present in every form. They demonstrate through seven centers of force; three major and four minor.3 (In this instance, the centers of force are DEITIES, Hierarchies of Lives.) They are known as the SEVEN RAYS.
​
This seven is exemplified in nature by the three primary colors, red, blue and yellow, which colors manifest in a rainbow has seven colors; the three primary colors being in the rainbow.
​
This is a profound law. It means that every life, every atom, 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.
​
An atom has seven planes of being. Science now refers to these planes as implicate dimensions. These vehicles and/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 or planes are made up of LIVES of varying degrees of consciousnesses and qualities. These interpenetrating worlds are one within the other, like Russian dolls. They are invisible.
The sum total of the lives that make up a body, is an Entity, a Life. The entity of the dense physical body of the Earth, 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.
​
Everything, even a God, evolves, 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.3a
Every manifestation of 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 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 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 Initiation in this solar system, and has completed one of his greater cycles. When the three blazes forth as one fire, liberation from matter, or from a material form are achieved.4 (An initiation is an expansion of consciousness. There are various types of initiations, .i.e. human, planetary, cosmic, etc.)
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. 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 the 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 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.4a
​
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.5
​
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. Meditation is the scientific method of contacting the soul. Study, meditation and service is the advice given to students who seek self-mastery. The Masters who have achieved, look for SERVICE in the aspirant. How has the aspirant served humanity?
​
Many Disciples work to enlighten students through books, teachings, groups, organizations, etc. The following images are taken from the book, The Rainbow Bridge, written by Two Disciples. The two disciples (Norman and Josephine Stevens) were clairvoyant and noticed dark, ugly thought-forms in the energy field of people. They developed a system wherein these thought-forms that block the energies of the soul could be dispersed. 8

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.

3 aIbid, As a general rule, whenever 7 entities are mentioned in the ancient occult science of India in any connection whatsoever, you must suppose that those 7 entities came into existence from 3 primary entities; and that these three entities, again, are evolved out of a single entity or monad. To take a familiar example, the 7 colored rays in the solar ray are evolved out of 3 primary colored rays; and the 3 primary colors co-exist with the 4 secondary colors in the solar ray. Similarly, the three primary entities which brought man into existence co-exist in him with the 4 secondary entities which arose from different combinations of the three primary entities.
