Thanks for your clarification last week that thoughts are of the astral plane. That unlocked a lot. In my meditations this last week on the Cosmic Doctrine and your own writings, I have developed this rough understanding of how the planes relate. I'm going to relate it to a personal goal of mine, which is developing greater clarity in my writing. My question: is this close enough to be reasonably functional, or is there anything you’d say is worth adjusting? - Tony C.
- Abstract mental (above the veil) - the Platonic Idea (so to speak) of clarity in writing.
- Concrete mental (above the veil) - the Platonic Idea of a clearly written short essay.
- Astral - Hod - My particular thoughts about what form clear writing should take including specific instances that spring to mind. These thoughts, if meditated on, can give intuitions of the form, structure and limitations of clear writing - a reflection of its Geburah aspect.
- Astral - Netzach - My particular identification of how clear writing should feel to the writer and reader. Through this, I can get intuitions of the power of clear writing, its reason for being, and the ways in which it drives to manifest - a reflection of its Chesed aspect.
- By synthesizing these in meditation, including studying the etheric sense that clear writing creates and physical manifestations of it (Yesod and Malkuth) and then attempting to recreate these, I should be able to cause “impactation” (in Dion Fortune’s sense) of the idea, and then if successful, allow its physical manifestation to sublimate into a deepened understanding of it.
