A Treatise on White Magic - Rule Three - Soul Light and Body Light

Let harmlessness, therefore, be the keynote of your life. An evening review should be carried forward entirely along this line; divide the review work in three parts and consider:

Harmlessness in thought. This will primarily result in the control of speech.
Harmlessness in emotional reaction. This will result in being a channel for the love aspect of the soul.
Harmlessness in act. This will produce poise, skill in action and the release of the creative will.

These three approaches to the subject should be studied from their effects upon one's own self and development, and from their effect upon those whom one contacts and upon one's environing associates.

May I interpolate here the remark that I make suggestions, based on experience in occult work. There is no obligation to obey. We seek to train intelligent servers of the race, and these are developed by self-initiated [104] effort, freedom in action and discrimination in method and not by unquestioning obedience, negative acquiescence, and blind following. Let this not be forgotten. If any command may ever emanate from the subjective band of teachers of whom I am a humble member, let it be to follow the dictates of your own soul and the prompting of your higher self.

Before we proceed to an analysis of this Rule and of the previous one, for Rules II and III are the two halves of a whole, I would like to remind you that, in this series of meditations upon these ancient formulas, we are concerned with the magical work of the aspirant as a co-worker in the enterprises of the Great White Lodge. We are dealing with the methods of white magic. Let me remind you also, that the magical work of our planetary Hierarchy consists of tending the psyche in the world of forms, so that the unfolding flower of the soul may be nurtured and fostered in such wise that radiant glory, magnetic force and (ultimately) spiritual energy may be demonstrated through the medium of the form. Thus the power of the three Rays of divine Manifestation may be seen.

First Ray - Spiritual Energy
Second Ray - Magnetic Force
Third Ray - Radiant Glory

These rays likewise find their microcosmic reflections in the aura of perfected man.

First Ray - Monadic - Spiritual Energy - Head Center
Second Ray - Egoic - Magnetic Force - Heart Center
Third Ray - Personality - Radiant Glory - Solar Plexus

You inquire, Why do I not say the throat center? Because the centers below the diaphragm symbolize primarily the personal lower self, and in their synthesizing center, the solar plexus, express the magnetic force of the matter aspect in man. The throat center is swept [105] into increasing creative activity as the personality vibrates to the soul.
