Initiation, Human and Solar

«The constitution of man, as considered in the following pages, is basically 3-fold, as follows» — la plana que precede al cuerpo fija la constitución triple del hombre como base de todo lo que sigue; la frase se corta antes de los dos puntos que abren la lista.

«I. The Monady or pure Spirit, the Father in Heaven. This aspect reflects the three aspects of the Godhead : 1. Will or Power The Father. 2. Love-wisdom The Son. 3. Active Intelligence The Holy Spirit. and is only contacted at the final initiations, when man is nearing the end of his journey and is perfected.» — el primer término de esa constitución: la Mónada o Espíritu puro, el Padre en los Cielos, que refleja los tres aspectos de la Divinidad y solo se contacta en las iniciaciones finales; el troceo imprime Monady por Monad.

«The Ego begins to make its power felt in advanced men, and increasingly on the Probationary Path until by the third initiation the control of the lower self by the higher is perfected, and the highest aspect begins to make its energy felt.» — el segundo término: el Ego se hace sentir en los hombres avanzados y en el Sendero Probatorio hasta que en la tercera iniciación el yo superior controla al inferior.

«III. The Personality, or lower self, physical plane man. This aspect is also three-fold: 1. A mental body lower manas. 2. An emotional body astral body. 3. A physical body the dense physical and the etheric body.» — el tercer término: la Personalidad o yo inferior, el hombre del plano físico, también triple en cuerpo mental, emocional y físico denso con su doble etérico.

«The aim of evolution is therefore to bring man to the realisation of the Egoic aspect and to bring the lower nature under its control.» — el fin que el volumen asigna a la evolución: llevar al hombre a la realización del aspecto Egoico y poner bajo su control la naturaleza inferior.

«that we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them: nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration) ; nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters.» — el epígrafe que abre el cuerpo, atribuido al Buddha y tomado de la Secret Doctrine: la lista de autoridades por las que no se debe creer, tradición, rumor, escritos de sabios e inspiración presunta de un Deva incluidos.

«But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness.» — el reverso del mismo epígrafe: se debe creer cuando el escrito, la doctrina o el dicho quedan corroborados por la razón y la consciencia propias.

«It is to be recognized that throughout this volume facts are alleged and definite statements made which are not susceptible of immediate proof by the reader.» — la advertencia con que abre el capítulo I: el volumen alega hechos y hace declaraciones que el lector no puede probar de inmediato.

«Nevertheless, she would urge those who find somewhat of merit in these pages that they be not estranged by any appearance of dogmatism in the presentation.» — Bailey pide a quien halle mérito en el libro que no se aparte por ninguna apariencia de dogmatismo en la presentación.

«In these days of the shattering of the old form and the building of the new, adaptability is needed. We must avert the danger of crystallisation through pliability and expansion.» — el diagnóstico de época: en días de ruptura de la forma vieja y construcción de la nueva hace falta adaptabilidad para evitar la cristalización.

«The fundamentals have always been true. To each generation is given the part of conserving the essential features of the old and beloved form, but also of wisely expanding and enriching it.» — la regla con que acota lo anterior: los fundamentos han sido siempre verdaderos y a cada generación le toca conservar los rasgos esenciales de la forma antigua y a la vez ensancharla.

«(a) In the creation of the sun and the seven sacred planets composing our solar system, our Logos employed matter that was already impregnated with particular qualities.» — el primero de los tres hechos que dice apoyados en la literatura oculta: al crear el sol y los siete planetas sagrados el Logos empleó materia ya impregnada de cualidades particulares.

«(b) All manifestation is of a septenary nature, and the Central Light which we call Deity, the one Ray of Divinity, manifests first as a Triplicity, and then as a Septenary. The One God shines forth as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and these three are again reflected through the Seven Spirits before the throne, or the seven Planetary Logoi. The students of occultism of non-Christian origin may call these Beings the One Ray, demonstrating through the three major Rays and the four minor, making a divine Septenary.» — el segundo hecho: toda manifestación es septenaria, y la Luz Central que llamamos Deidad se manifiesta primero como Triplicidad y luego como Septenario, con la equivalencia que ofrece a los ocultistas de origen no cristiano.

«The Synthetic Ray which blends them all is the great Love-Wisdom Ray, for verily and indeed ''God is Love"'. This Ray is the indigo Ray, and is the blending Ray. It is the one which will, at the end of the greater cycle, absorb the others in the achievement of synethetic perfection.» — el Rayo Sintético que mezcla a los demás se identifica con el gran Rayo de Amor-Sabiduría, de color índigo, que al fin del ciclo mayor absorberá a los otros; el troceo imprime synethetic por synthetic.

«The twelve creative Hierarchies are themselves but subsidiary branches of one cosmic Hierarchy. They form but one chord in the cosmic symphony.» — la misma reducción aplicada a las doce Jerarquías creadoras: ramas subsidiarias de una Jerarquía cósmica que forman un solo acorde en la sinfonía cósmica.

«Due to the extreme complexity of the matter it is an utter impossibility for us to do more than get a general idea of the scheme; hence the futility of dogmatism.» — la razón que da contra el dogmatismo: la complejidad extrema de la materia hace imposible pasar de una idea general del esquema.

«When we recognise the further fact, that to be conscious on a plane and to have control on that plane are two very different conditions, it becomes apparent how remote is the possibility of our approximating more than the general trend of the cosmic scheme.» — el segundo límite: ser consciente en un plano y tener control sobre él son condiciones distintas, de donde lo remoto de aproximarse a más que la tendencia general del esquema cósmico.

«We must recognize also that danger lies in dogma and in the hide-bound facts of textbooks, and that safety lies in flexibility, and in a shifting angle of vision.» — la enmienda metodológica: el peligro está en el dogma y en los hechos endurecidos de los manuales, y la seguridad en la flexibilidad y en un ángulo de visión cambiante.

«A fact, for instance, looked at from the standpoint of humanity (using the word ^fact' in the scientific sense as that which has been demonstrated past all doubt and question) may not be a fact from the standpoint of a Master. To Him it may be but part of a greater fact, only a fraction of the whole.» — el ejemplo con que lo sostiene: un hecho demostrado desde el punto de vista de la humanidad puede no serlo desde el de un Maestro, para quien es parte de un hecho mayor.

«An inexplicable principle of mutation exists in the Mind of the Logos, or the Deity of our solar system, and governs all His actions.» — el principio de mutación que sitúa en la Mente del Logos y que rige todas sus acciones sin que haya clave para él.

«Browning had hold of a part of this truth when he wrote : "All's change, but permanence as well» — el verso de Browning que el texto trae como aproximación parcial a esa verdad; la cita se corta antes del segundo bloque de versos.

«We must remember also that beyond a certain point it is not safe nor wise to carry the communication of the facts of the solar system. Much must remain esoteric and veiled.» — el límite que se pone a sí mismo: pasado cierto punto no es seguro ni sabio comunicar los hechos del sistema solar, y mucho debe quedar esotérico y velado.

«The risks of too much knowledge are far greater than the menace of too little. With knowledge comes responsibility and power,—tAvo things for which the race is not yet ready.» — la razón de ese límite: los riesgos del exceso de conocimiento superan a la amenaza de su falta, porque con él vienen responsabilidad y poder, para los que dice que la raza no está lista; el troceo imprime tAvo por two.

«When we can wisely use, discreetly withhold, and soundly discriminate, we give the surest guarantee to the watching Teachers of the race that we are ready for a fresh revelation.» — la condición que fija para recibir más: usar con sabiduría, retener con discreción y discriminar con solidez es la garantía que se da a los Instructores que vigilan.

«We must resign ourselves to the fact that the only way in which we can find the clue to the mystery of the rays, systems, and hierarchies, lies in the study of the law of correspondences or analogy.» — el método que declara único: la clave del misterio de los rayos, los sistemas y las jerarquías está en el estudio de la ley de correspondencias o analogía.

«In the study of this Law we need to remember that the correspondence lies in its essence, and not in the exoteric working out of detail as we think we see it from our present standpoint.» — el límite del método: la correspondencia está en la esencia y no en el desarrollo exotérico del detalle tal como se ve desde el punto de vista presente.

«The moment he attempts to reduce to chart form and to tabulate in detaily he enters realms where he is bound to err, and staggers through a fog that will ultimately overAvhelm him.» — el aviso contra tabular: quien intenta reducir a forma de tabla y detallar entra en terrenos donde ha de errar; el troceo imprime detaily por detail y overAvhelm por overwhelm.

«That the development of the human being is but the I)assing from one state of consciousness to another.» — el último punto antes de entrar en materia: el desarrollo del ser humano no es más que el paso de un estado de consciencia a otro; el troceo imprime I)assing por passing.

«In spiritual issues, names, personalities, and the voice of external authority, hold small place. That alone is» — el criterio que Bailey pone en lugar de la autoridad externa; la frase se corta en el salto de plana y sigue en la 16.

«a safe guide which holds its warranty from inner recognition and inner direction.» — la continuación en la plana siguiente: solo es guía segura lo que tiene su garantía en el reconocimiento y la dirección interiores.

«Mrs. Besant in her book, "Avataras", (which» — la autoridad que cita para el primer hecho, Mrs. Besant y su Avataras; la frase se corta en el salto de plana y sigue en la 17.

«some of us think the most valuable of all her writings, because one of the most suggestive), makes the statement that ''our solar system is builded out of matter already existing, out of matter already gifted with certain properties . . . '' (page 48).» — la continuación del elogio y la cita de Besant con su página: el sistema solar está construido con materia ya existente y ya dotada de ciertas propiedades.

«(c) The scA^en planes of Divine Manifestation, or the seven major planes of our system, are but the seven sub-planes of the lowest cosmic plane. The seven Rays of» — el tercer hecho: los siete planos de la Manifestación Divina son solo los siete subplanos del plano cósmico más bajo; el troceo imprime scA^en por seven y la frase se corta en el salto de plana.

«which we hear so much, and which hold so much of interest and of mystery, are likewise but the seven sub-rays of one cosmic Ray.» — la continuación en la plana siguiente: los siete Rayos de que tanto se oye hablar son igualmente los siete subrayos de un Rayo cósmico.

«It is a succession of expansions, a growth of that faculty of awareness that constitutes the predominant characteristic of the indAvelling Thinker.» — la definición del desarrollo humano como sucesión de expansiones de la facultad de percatarse, característica predominante del Pensador que mora dentro; el troceo imprime indAvelling por indwelling.

«It is the progressing from consciousness polarised in the personality, lower self, or body, to that polarised in the higher self, ego, or soul, thence to a polarisation in the Monad, or Spirit, till the conscious» — el itinerario de esa polarización: de la personalidad al yo superior o alma y de ahí a la Mónada o Espíritu; la palabra se corta en el salto de plana y sigue en la 22.

«ness eventually is Divine. As the human being develops, the faculty of awareness extends first of all beyond the circumscribing walls that confine it within the lower kingdoms of nature (the mineral, vegetable and animal) to the three worlds of the evolving personality, to the planet whereon he plays his part, to the system wherein that planet revolves, until it finally escapes from the solar system itself and becomes universal.» — la continuación en la plana siguiente: la facultad de percatarse se extiende de los reinos inferiores a los tres mundos, al planeta, al sistema, y al fin escapa del sistema solar y se vuelve universal.

«Before many centuries pass the old mysteries will be restored, and an inner body will exist in the Church—the Church of the period, of which the nucleus is already forming—^wherein the first initiation will become exoteric, in this sense only, that the taking of the first initiation will, before so very long, be the most sacred ceremony of the Church, performed exoterically as one of the mysteries given at stated periods, attended by those concerned.» — el pronóstico con que abre el capítulo II: los misterios antiguos serán restaurados y la primera iniciación se volverá la ceremonia más sagrada de la Iglesia del periodo, celebrada exotéricamente.

«It will also hold a similar place in the ritual of the Masons.» — el mismo pronóstico extendido al ritual de los Masones, donde dice que la primera iniciación tendrá lugar semejante.

«At this ceremony those ready for the first initiation will be publicly admitted to the Lodge by one of its members, authorized to do so by the great Hierophant Himself.» — quién admite en esa ceremonia: un miembro de la Logia autorizado por el gran Hierofante en persona.

«Among occidental thinkers at this time there is a wide diversity of view upon this momentous subject.» — el Foreword sitúa la materia entre los pensadores occidentales de su momento y registra la diversidad de pareceres sobre ella.

«There are those who think that it is not of sufficient immediate importance to engross their attention, and that if the average man adheres to the path of duty and high-minded attention to the business in hand, he will duly arrive at his destination.» — la primera de las objeciones que el Foreword recoge, en voz de Bailey: que la iniciación no tiene urgencia bastante y que el hombre medio llega a su destino cumpliendo con el deber.

«They will then become givers, and not the recipients of help.» — el término al que, según el Foreword, llegan quienes hacen el esfuerzo: pasar de recibir ayuda a darla.

«There are those again who consider that the teaching given out in various books hitherto concerning initiation, is erroneous.» — la segunda objeción que el Foreword recoge: que lo enseñado hasta entonces en varios libros sobre la iniciación es erróneo.

«At the same time, it must be remembered that the earlier teaching is right in essence, though belittled in interpretation.» — la enmienda con que Bailey acota esa objeción: la enseñanza anterior es correcta en lo esencial y lo que se empequeñeció fue su interpretación.

«Due preparation may now be made, and men and women everywhere may—if they choose — fit themselves for the condition of discipleship and tread the Probationary Path.» — el Foreword pone la preparación al alcance inmediato de hombres y mujeres, con la elección como condición; el troceo imprime aquí la raya y el espaciado tal cual.

«Hundreds in the East and in the West are pressing onwards towards this goal, and in the unity of the one ideal, in their common aspiration and endeavour, they will meet before the one Portal.» — Bailey cifra en centenares a quienes avanzan hacia esa meta en Oriente y Occidente y los hace converger en un mismo Portal.

«They will then recognize themselves as brothers, severed by tongue and apparent diversity of belief, but fundamentally holding to the same one truth and serving the same God.» — el cierre del Foreword: se reconocerán hermanos, separados por la lengua y por la apariencia de la creencia, sosteniendo una misma verdad y sirviendo a un mismo Dios.

«It is the belief of the publishers that there are many readers of today and of times to come who^ by contact with these books, will be led to perceive their inspiration and high authority, and to find therein a guide for their feet and an incentive for steadfast endeavor.» — la nota sin título de la plana 7, firmada por Foster Bailey y Ernest S. Suffern: los editores declaran creer que muchos lectores percibirán en estos libros inspiración y alta autoridad; el troceo imprime who^ por who.

«They jointly assume full responsibility for such publication.» — la misma nota editorial cierra asumiendo los firmantes la responsabilidad plena de la publicación.

«This diagram is an outline of a portion of the Hierarchy at the present moment, and gives only the outstanding Figures, in connection with human evolution. A similar diagram from the standpoint of the deva evolution would be differently arranged.» — la nota al pie del diagrama de las Jerarquías solar y planetaria: declara que solo recoge las Figuras salientes en conexión con la evolución humana y que uno hecho desde la evolución dévica iría ordenado de otro modo.

«Adept, A Master, or human being who, having traversed the path of evolution and entered upon the final stage of that path, the Path of Initiation, has taken five of the Initiations, and has therefore passed into the Fifth, or Spiritual kingdom, having but two more Initiations to take.» — la entrada Adept del glosario final: Maestro o ser humano que ha tomado cinco de las Iniciaciones y pasado al Quinto reino, con dos más por tomar.

It is, nevertheless, the centre of the egoic consciousness, and is formed of the conjunction of buddhi and manas.
