This is mental energy and the astral body it creates forms our false ego. In normal waking awareness and in our dreams this energy creates the “I” awareness of individual consciousness. To create the true ego it must be integrated with the energies of the heart.

It is associated with logic and reasoning in a creative manner. Developing this energy gives us the ability to focus and direct our thought processes in the direction that we wish to go. Normally our thoughts are random or follow a flow of consciousness pattern where one thought is connected through association to another thought which is connected to another thought… Etc. This is a fundamental concept of the free association school of psychology.

With practice we can mentally return to the goal whenever we get distracted. We can focus on a particular subject. The way to develop this is participation in philosophical debates with other people. In these debates we are constantly trying to make a specific point and need to keep coming back to the subject at hand until our point has been made and clearly understood. At the same time the other person is trying to direct the debate in a way that will allow his or her point to be clearly understood. The mental agility and stamina needed in debates like this is very great.

The development of this energy helps us to become strong minded and strong-willed. We are not easily swayed by another’s opinion or distracted from our goal. We use this energy to think for ourselves.

The magnetic charm and appeal of this energy is to become highly opinionated and strong-willed. This type of person has a very strong ego and insists upon learning and doing things their own way. Through force of will this person can change the outcome of bad dreams into good dreams. This person can stick with a project and see it through to conclusion. This ability is vital in getting the things we want in life. People see this type of person as being confident and sure of themselves.

The development of this power is also termed the development of magical power in occult schools through the development of the individual will. That is because this energy is used to contain and control other lower types of energy in magical ways.

The greatest gift we can give another person is to be our true selves with them and allow them to be who they really are with us. There is a big difference between learning how to make yourself attractive to somebody else and falsely trying to be someone you are not because you think it will be attractive to them. The first is simple honesty and self-respect and the second is a lie. How can a true loving relationship be sustained when it is based upon a lie?

This also brings up the possibility of attracting the wrong people by giving out dishonest and conflicting signals. Sure you can dress up and find ways to be sexually attractive to others, but if the ones that you are attracting are not the right type of people then you are in serious trouble!

Over and over it comes down to the same message, live in your heart! Live from your heart and express yourself from the heart! Your light and radiance will shine through and resonate with those that are truly attracted to you. All it takes is to believe in yourself! To have good self-esteem and a healthy ego! You will be attracted to someone that feels the same way about themselves. Why are those things so hard in today’s modern world?

Abstract spiritual energy is the energy of unity and the resolution of paradox. We are all part of planet Earth, we are all part of the collective soul of humanity. When we hurt someone else we are also hurting ourselves.

This type of energy has no real form and is responsible for the illumination that is associated with mystical experiences and spiritual love. Another term for this is spiritual light. An example of this type of energy in our lives is the lightbulb effect when we suddenly have a brilliant mystical experience of being surrounded or bathed in spiritual light, love and peace.

Light is a characteristic of experiences with this spiritual energy. We generate it through meditation, prayer, devotion, and creative or inspirational pursuits. In developing this energy we develop spiritual power and spiritual creativity. Our experiences are intensely personal and sacred and we feel at one with the Cosmic or Higher Power.

The development of this astral body gives a glow or halo of spiritual light around the physical body. Divine persons, saints and other highly spiritual people are often depicted in religious art with the spiritual light around them. The developed magnetic charm or appeal is spiritual in nature and gives the ability to resolve paradox in our lives and in the lives of others.

Abstract spiritual energy marks the pinnacle that human consciousness can achieve. It is that mystical place where everything merges into one vast unity and our spirits return to Source momentarily. The development of this energy gives the ability to make quantum leaps of awareness giving us the miracle of finding opportunities or escape routes where none seem to exist. It is here where we can literally create something out of nothing! It is here where we find the infinite possibilities within the present moment!

Logic and reason can only be taken so far and there are limits beyond which they cannot go. Do you know what happens when your mind fails? When you leave the world of form, the material world and live entirely in your head. When you are dead to the physical world and move around conducting your worldly affairs like a zombie. From the purely physical point of view these people would be considered insane or severely troubled. They are emotionless, stern, solemn and constantly caught up in their own thoughts. They are not really there. The lights are on but nobody’s home. I’ve been there and done it!

These people have eliminated all personal desire and lust for life. There is a strong feeling of death and stagnation. They no longer have any desire for creative effort. They live in total self absorbed darkness. Even the desire for spiritual light is absent. Detached from their surroundings and from themselves, they are completely folded in upon themselves.

They have gone too far and there is no going back. They see nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing. All of their energy has gone inward in a total effort of spiritual selfishness. They seek only personal salvation and care nothing about others. They have no compassion or feeling at all. They are people that have used yoga, magic, meditation or prayer for personal salvation and nothing can reach them. Now they are exploring the darker areas of their souls. They have gone too far and realize they are in trouble. In a desperate attempt to remain sane they freeze and try not to move in any direction at all.

This is a crisis point upon the spiritual path. For those whose intention and karma is pure they will continue to move forward into the light and receive the baptism of the holy Christ spirit. Those who refuse the spiritual light cannot go any further. They have nothing to live for. All they have is a huge ego that shuts them off from others. They work only for personal gain and belong to the black brotherhood. They fear the abyss and death of the personal ego that lies ahead of them.

Those that reach toward the spiritual light recognize that compassion for others is a sacred duty and a holy trust. Spiritual selfishness must be eliminated with the death of the false ego. These mystics stand on the brink of the great abyss. There is a sense of impending doom as the last bit of false ego cries out for survival. This is the brink of human consciousness. They are virtually at the very edge of their minds. Logic and reason cannot go beyond this point. There is a strong feeling of tension. There is expectation of an important advance but nothing happens.

The tension is unbearable with the tug-of-war between pure spirit and matter. They are drawn toward God across the abyss but fear the death of the ego because the ego cannot cross this abyss. They have tasted union with the Holy Spirit at their baptism and now they desire to merge with God. But the spiritual bridge will not allow conscious awareness to cross it. Finally the deep longing in their heart wins and they plunge into the great abyss.

They take this plunge again and again until the false ego is totally destroyed. The personality is gone. There is no sense of self. It takes courage and determination to achieve permanent union with God.

It requires long hard work and the spiritual bridge will only allow short moments of union with God at a time. It will only allow brief glimpses, thoughts, and inspirations. Gradually the mystic acquires the ability to achieve these insights at will and the day comes when their awareness will cross the abyss for brief periods at a time.

The feeling of crossing the abyss is indescribable. They plunge into the arms of the great cosmic mother. They are surrounded in love and all embracing feminine warmth. They lose themselves in holy bliss and rapture because they have truly achieved salvation. They know that spirit is reality and matter is illusion. This is the spiritual dawning of a new day and a new sense of self and awareness. This is the Golden Dawn.
